MaY o.—Tbe Canton of Oirsbeck, in the Dis-
triet. of Maestricht, Department of the Meuse In-
,ferieure, has become remarkable for its disobedience
to,the Conscription Laws. They at first resisted the
-ordinary means,-but at length submitted; and after
six toonths' service, they will obtain for their fami--
lies a ininission of the fine, to the payment of which
they are now liable. Tie same favour .has been
granted to the refracloiv Conscripts of the Districts
of first. and .Morlaix. In the -Departinent of the

voluntarily presented theinselVes to the Prefe6t, of

niteur.) .
PULTUSK, APRIL eg.—Till this day all has re-
mained quiet at the left wing of tire Grand Army,
as well as among the Cossacks, who are in front.—
Provisions are very abundant, and we experience
want of nothing but spirits. Since the last battle
which took place near this town, the greatest part -of
-the inhabitants have fled to the woods,: the g9idiers
would be more at their ease if they had remained in
their houses. The Negotiations continue ;' but no
Armistice has yet been concluded.
