MILITARY CONSCaIpTION,
,The Minister of 'Scale, Count Regnaud de St.
d'Angely, read the following report.
REPORT 01' THE WAR-MINISTER TO HIS narsurat.
AND ROYAL MAJESTY.
"'Paris, Dec. 9, ;Rio.
Stan,—According to the. laws of our military
organization, the totiticription shoirld be raised on
the I+o of January, 181 I. I ItiwOfore SUIJIIIiI to
your Majesty the projet of a Simatus Consultitm.
" I haee not distinguished the conscription of
this year-into aZtlive, end reserve contingents, be-
cause if appeared to me' that the intention of your
Majesty was oely to make levies progressively, and
initheeOerSeot the year. - •
" In proportion as the new conscripts arrive un-
der their colours, an equal number of old soldiers
,must be sent back to their homes. A great many
'have already re-eoteted them, and your Majesty
will take into your consideration the circumstances
of the war in Spier and Portugal, in order to an-
thorise me to grant More:eor less dcfmuive dis-
charges.
" The conscription is the basis of the prospe-
rity of France; it is that which, for so in my years,
has removed far fiorn our tertitory the scourges of
war.
When your Majesty shall have concluded a ma-
ritime eleace, and shall be able to disband your
armies, it will be equally necessary to raise, every
year fi part of the conscription, for the purpose of
maintaining the forces of your Majesty on a footing
which is suitable to your Empire ; but I do nut
.sireckcin that there will then be any necessity for
more than a third of the conscription which I pro-
pose to raise at present, which will farm at the most
wily one ninth of the Males liable to be called upon
as conscripts, It is obvious, then, how much that
contribution will he lightened—the first in import-
ance oft hose which the French owe to their country.
The militia, which appeared a moderate institution,
but which was aggravated by a multitude of exemp-
tions, weighed heavily on the nutlet) fitter the wars
of Louis XIV. and even the wars of Flanders and
Bohemia. ! -
"'Thu conscription of 1811 will occasion eX-
, traordinary expences for the first clothing and equip-
ment, for the expellees of the march, &c. of so
considerable a number of men. I have brought
them to the budget of the year, and they are
domprehentled in the. federal arrangements which
your. Majesty has made for the finances of that ser-
vice, without that augmentation of. expence
ten-
dering necessary any augmentation of taxes. My
department feels the &feats of the prosperous state
of your Majesty's!finanees. Scarcely do a few con-
- tested accounts, and which require examination,
remain to be paid; co Part oldie service languishes,
attd all my expenees, formerly so much in wear,
are brought up to the present day. si
I am, AA tilt rest:ea, Btcc.
The Duke of eaLTRE,
" Atit,ister 91 War."

The Report being read, Count Regnaud de Saint
Joan D'Angely, spoke ai follows :
" -Sattwrofts,—When his Majesty summoned
under his eagles the conscriptkns of t ann and
1810' before the ordinary poriod, he announced vie.;
tory and peace as the reword of the devotion of his
young soldiers.
", The Emperor kept his word : he vangitished
and paCified, without having any .need to antteipate
again the period whoa it is the duty of Frendhmen
suhjetit to the conbeription to pay their debt to their
Country,

" Time has brought round the return of thepe,
riodic term, when a call must take place.
, •< M the commencement of J tat, the Conscripts
of that year must propare themselves to enter suc-
cessively. the ranks, -in order to replace either those
brave men who have fallen in atle,. or the vete-
rarts who repair to the bosom of their familiei, car-
rying with them their glory, and seeking reposes)

" The number raisqd on the anterior' conscrip-
tions has' been letr,uop min ; but the call has only
been made to you successlkly, and with the dis-
tindion of immediate -destination anal that of, re-
serve:

Even though the w hole of a levy equal to that
„f preceding conscriptlona may not bu necessary at

present, yet leis: nijesty hastbought that it was
batter to placc It the disposal of bis (liner
the number of conscripts eMployed in prece.iing
years; •
" They shall not be fot thwith called upon, hitt
‘uccessively, in virtue of deete:'s of his Majesty, and
as often is they shall be 'wanted.
No.augmentation of revenue will be necessary ;
and the funds assigned by the budget of ' 1810 for
that strike, or disposable for that of 18 1 1, will sot.
fice for the expellees of these two years, and for all
the In anchss ,of the service
" To Inniptairk herself in an honotuable attitude,
tO shi,w her Self. protealing or threatening in the
eyes of her friends or her enemies, Fiance has no
!iced, Gentlemen, of any nevretroit, or of any ex-
traordinary tact ifice.
" For it is not thus that g e arc to designate the
ivy of the conscription—a personal tribute, a pledge
(lithe independen& of the po er and of the glory
Of the empire, and which must, in time of peace as
in time of war, be paid every year in a greater or a
less proportion.

" And the minimum of that proportion must
always be even in peace, in a component ratio,
first of the tesult of the ordinary mortality, and
secondly, of the number of, discharges that are
given.
The number of discharges will then be that of
a fifth of the army, if it should not happen Ina( a
great number of Frenchmen prefer the military
hte, in; glorious chances, and irs honourable dan-
gets, too repose or a labour of which they have got
out of the habit.

" These brave men thus voluntarily, and, for a
time which often embraces the duration of their
lives, pay the debt of a part of their fellow-citi-
zens, at the same time that they form in ;LI the
army that, inexhaustible reserve, that stock of old
warriors, opcal hose example the new levies are
formed, and who ensure victory.
When reflecting on the exit of their devo-
tion, ott the dui as lin) of their sertices,what French-
Man can heiitate.to join them, when he hears the
voice of the, country which calls him, of she law
which commands him, ani at the glory which awaits
him."

1,',41_,L of the BRINE at LAOFFEN ;

With an account of the singular substitute !Or Bellows,

at the Foadery there.

Quitting Zurich upon the 30tli of August, wi
proceeded oti our route to Schaffhausen, stoppng
however on the way to see the falls of the Rhine at
Labtfen, the sight of which far excedt'd my ex-
pectations, which had began to be leis sanguine
than usual,'on the subject of cataracts, from the dis-
appointment experienced at the so undeservet4
vaunted fall of Argrenas, At !Adieu the 'body 'of
'water which rolls over the precipice, is great and
magnificent ; while the rocks, over which it rushes,.
are finely disposed, both for varying its drreetioti and
agitating it waters : in addition to which, they are
of a' height sufficiently great to produce a must,
noble etted.

We crossed the river at a small distance below
this fall in a little skiff; and proceeded lroM the
place of our landing, to a Chateau, belonging to the
Canton of Zurich, which: stands on the summit of
the bank, immediately above the -fall. From
this situation the view of the whole is distina,
and at the same, time inconceivably grand.
From the Chtiteau we descended to a little wooden
building, erected on the side, and indeed absolutely
in the principal (all of the Rhine, from•whence the
prospett was sublime' and terrific in an extreme de-
gree. The velocity with which the foaming tor-
rent dashed along, dazzled and confounded the eye;
higher up an agitated ocean seemed ready to over-
whelm ; and, above all, a cloud of loam involving
'the whole, and obscuring all further view, added
that cleg,reo of uncertainty and indistintiness, to
vastness and danger, which always produce the most
perfect effect.

The fury of the torrent acting irregularly, threw
into the stand, whereon we were stationed, large
quanttes of water, which rendered our situation a
little inconvenient, and not altogether comfortable;
indeed it appears amazing how any building can sus-
tain the shocks to which \this little projection of
wood is perpetually subje&ed.
At no great distance from, and almost immedi-
ately under the fall, stand a koundcry and Ham.
meting-house, with a considerable quantity pi Mill.
work, built on the side of the river opposite to the
Chateau. They use no bellows whatever in this
Foundary, which is supplied with air from the
waters of the I.l,hine, by it contrivance equally curi-
ous as useful. '

A canal or watercourse made at the edge of the
iminediatelrabove the tails, conducts the ca-
ter to the trough, from whence it falls to W ork the
Iron ails; at this placels disposed a wooden I;ipe,
of about 4 or 5 inches diameter, through which as
much water as can pass, , tunibles perpendicularly
through a a(ite of 30 or 40 leek from tnence it
rustles into a large barrel, which has a tube inserted
into its upper end.

By the violeriee of this fall a quantity of air which
before engaged .arnong the particles.of the water, is
extracted, and the whose barrel becomes
.with
'this air.,violently condensed, and also by the vapour
of the water itself.. Ao.sperture is made iv Ore
side of the sarrel., close to the bottom, barely 'suffi-
cient to permit the passage of the water, which, as
being the heavier fluid, warushout, while the air
and vapour; which arethe lighter fluids, will remain
uppermost, violently compressed and reedy'. for. use ;
which 13 accomplished by means of a BMA tube pas-
sing from thu upper, p.trt of the barrel to Abe for,.
trace, thus affording a steady convet*ut, and toter-
ably, powerftil blast.

recolleEUon, I think it Lutist chiefly he the
vapour of the water, which, rushing through the
tube, serves as u blast for tile furnace ; in the same
manner as vapour raised by means of fire in the
Edipipe rushes out viith aAumilar effect, so I sup-
pose that bore the violence'ot the fall raises the yap-
nor in the same tiiilffiler.
