LONDON,
SATURDAY, DRCEMBER 28, 1811.

Paris Papers reached town yesterday to the T4th
inst. The most material fa& they contain, is the
assembling of the Cnnservative Senate, in an extra-
ordinary session, by whitli body a Decree has been
passed, placing 120,000 men of the conscription for
the Tear at the disposal of the Minister
of War. Th,e continual waste of human life, on the
part of tits French, it: the contest in the Peninsula,
necessarily calls fora large supply of men to fill up
the thinned ranks, of their armies ;. and there ap-
pears great reason to believe, that erelong the an-
nual l% ante will, be greater than even- the popu-
lation of France on supply., From the amid.'
'ration, llor;fcveri of so I.trge a force ,at once,
and that by means ()Tan extraordinarysession of the
Senate, it is 'conjetiured, and with considerable
'probability, that these new troops am intended for
,time other purpose. that! the war' in Spain, as with
a view to the litter ol.j ct BUONA PAUTE would per-
WO. have preferre,l gradually reinforcing his arrnic s,
in order to avoid drawing still further the public at-
tention to his own disgrace and diwOrnfiturc.

. LoolOig, therefwe, to the stale or the relations

bekveen F;•ance and Russia, and coupling it with
this DOC,ICO 'Ol the Conservative- Senate, a belief
necessarily arises, th. 4 in suddenly taisinObis large
additional force, IluotaAP4aTu must hate view a
‘var with Russia. The force thus ordered to be
raised would, however, be but an inadequate sup-
ply for catryiag on t:ie war in Spain, and comment:.
icg hostilities with Russia ; but the mode and man-
ner dissuing the Decree savours more of the emer-
gency of a northern war, than the continual tic-
, 'cessity of supplying men for the Peninsula.—
.
11 it should turn out to be only for the latter object
that this afcree. has been's° suddenly issued,' then
it must stand as a confession to all Europe of the
inadequacy of the means and resources of France to
supply the waste of her armies in the Peninsula, as it
must- be evidentirteyery one,, that the French 'Po-
pulation thus drainett,..mustOri the course of a cer.
tain time, become inadequate to the demand of men
necessary to continne the conteSt.

Accustomed' as we are to t! ,e praaiccs of Party,
we are really surprised at the condu6l of The Morn-
ing Chronicle, respetiog. ,the Irish Catholics ; for
its.reasoning, if it oily be so called,- is direetly in

censuring the Irish Got ernment for in 1..' iterint; with'

•' There is soniethiiig contradictory in
,this pro-
position,—but let that pass. The PlitNte, we
doubt not, will, as 'soon as all restrictions shall he
removed, certainly act upon his " own sense, of
filial reverence," and that sense will be best maul-
fesred in, fallowing the steps of one of the best Mo-

people' and the security of the Empire. But
the conclusion of what the Chronicle says this
day is so 'nothing to the PRINCE, that he may fairly
say with Hamlet—" Markyou,. how poor a thing
you would make of me!" for it says, ", Minititers
take advantage of his situation, to commit hiAlt to
an act, that they may either farce him instantly, to
declare his free mind on'tlie Sobiect, or thatthey
may embitter' every moment 'of his finure
And of whom is the. Chronicle thtis speaking:l—a
PRINCH who nobly resolves to fitlloW the course Oa
patriotic and conscientious Monarch, or:a puppet :in
'the hands of Ministeri ? The PaiNce haS no great
reason to thank the Chronicle for placing hint in the
latter point of view. In our,opibion, he. will prove
that the former is the light in which he will appear
'to the present age and to posterity'. . •
