Orlittl-Yolitt, Due. i9i tBo4.—For many years
ast the,citizens of New-York have not witnessed

oay morning dealt tiesttudin' to a very valuable

L[sGlsLA'IV BODY, SiTrtNo or TAN. 7.
After the Procer Verbal was read, Messrs. LAcitt
and RECINAUD (DR ST. TEAN D'ARGELY), Counsel.
fors of State, were introduced, commissioned in the
name of His Imperial. Majesty to present a Projet
of a Law relative to the Military Conscriptions for
the year 'l4: and to explain the motives for adopt.
ing - it. In executing this Commiision M. LAMS
adoressed the Legislative Body at length. He began
by 'Averting to the Declaration of His Imperial
Majesty' at the opening of the Session, to maintain
the integrity of the French territory, 'and preserve
the influence which his genius anti iktories had
acquired for it in Europe. Amongst' the means for
accomplishing this end, so worthy' of His Majesty,
and the anxious wish of the whole Nation; a complete
Army froth the bosom of the,Nationuttaving an in.
terest in the happiness of their Country, 'and the
glory of the French name, might' to be placed. It
was to procure such an Army that their Predecessors
had created the system of Milikitry' Conscription,
which disappointed not their expeaations ; it was
with the same views that the Government, in exe.
cution of the Organic Law of the' Year. 6, proposed
the present law. The Orator then stated, that the
law was precisely similar to the one which had, in
the preceding year, met with their approbation, and
therefore declared it superfluous to dwell upon its
advantages, after the discussion that it had already
undergone. He then entered into a long detail re.
spelling the manner in which the contingents were
to be allotted in the toB Departments. The Speaker
then read the prjer of the law, and the discussion
was fixed for the 17Th inst.

MINISTRY OE MARINE.

On the 4th of the present month the Boulogne
Privateer Le Vimereux, Captain PAULI; being at
anchor in the Road of St. Valleri.en.Caux, an Eng..
Vessel of War, lugger.rigged, took possession,
in the evening, of a Fishing Boat. At midnight
this Boat, manned with 20 men, and. commanded by
the Captaili of the Enemy's vessel, proceeded with
two armed launches against the Privateer, and
boarded her fore and on both sides. The Crew of
the Privateer were on their guard, prepared to re.
ceive them, and,the deck was soon cleared of all the
English that boarded. The whole party were ei.
ther killed or drowned, except eight who remained

prisoners; amongst thcse are the Lieutenants of the
Sloops Railer and Folks/one) which latter had join-
ed in the expedition, both dangerously wounded.
It is impossible to ascertain the number of the Eng_

fish that have perished, inasmuch as they were
thrown into the sea in an:Al:irk, according as they
came aboard, or were slain. The Vimereux has but
two men killed and 12 wounded in this aetion.—

The more roughly the Crew of the remeremx treated

the Enemy during the engagement, the more gene.
roux they proved themselves in their attention be.
stowed on their wounded after the battle was over.

MINISTRY OF GENERAL POLICE.

In the night of the ISch of November General
of Brigade Bo ra, commanding on the Coasts of
Motbilian, arrested, at the village of Kerdalee, and
lodged in the prison of Vannes, GUILLEMOT, the
last of the principal adherents of GEORGES; known
from the commencement of the Chouannerie by the
name of the King of Bignan. This wretch, after
wandering about, concealed for a long time, had
found means, at length, to embark for England,with
DEBAR, and six other accomplices, vile remnant of
that band of assasins, almost all of whom the pay
of the British Cabinet has successively led to the
scaffold. The Chasse.matee La riehire, Captain
LOUET, who had undertaken to convey them, not
having been able to make the English Cruiser
(driven off by unfavourable weather) was forced to
return, after ,having beat about the Islands near a
fortnight. Glitt.t.tmor, DEBAR, and their cons.
pAniolis came a hare, 'where they were pursued. ..".6
The inhabitants of the country have contributed
with zed so the arrest of three of them, and in the
search for the others.
