FRENCH AND DUTCH JOURNALS.
The former to the yth, and the latter to the isth
infiant, have arrived.
The intelligence furniflied by the French Official
paper is very important. By a decree of Natocaolit.
elated the ;d init. and infected in the Maim" of thet
sth, so.oco men of the confaiption of the prefect year,
are ordered to be immediately called out. This mea-
-1 fore is reprefented as a common military occurrence,
from which no inferences in favour either of peace or
war ought to be made. Why hots it been found no.
catty then to accompany it with an explanation, the •
effea of which will be the very reverie of what is sp•
parently meant to be produced t What are the Powers
of the Continent to look to, when they fee the 4 rength
of the French army carried to the bight(' point, as it 4.
avowedly will be by the incorporation of thefe fifty
thoufand confcripts t Is there one of there Sovereigns
who can repofe in fecurity for a week when he finds,
that even in peace it is to be maintained within ten
thoufand men of its full war eflabliihment t If one
gigantic Power is to retain its firength and means of
oppreffion and annoyance, while all the other States
are called upon, as it were, to lay down their arms,
not only their temporary fsfety, but their very ex-
, iftence, are at the mercy of that Power. The am-
biguous terms in which the peace of the Continent
is alluded to, are of themfelves, independently of the
movements of the French armies, fufficient to excite
firong fufpicions that tranquillity is far from being
reftored. The article expreffes " a hope that the
affairs of the Continent are about to be fettled."—
Surely, after having dilated peace to AO ria, figned
a Treaty with Ruffia, and fecured the friendikip and
alliance of PrufGa, this is a fubjea upon which 80.
. might have given a more explicit affuranct
to the Continent, than this equivocal declaration.—
From his whole proceedings it is impollible to draw ,
another inference, but that his ambition, o Nuking
the meat it feeds on," is without bounds r.r nr,ifore,
and that he confidently looks to the entire fithjirga-
tion, with the escepti,,n perhaps of Rullia, of every
Power upon the Continent of Europe.
The plan of the New Conflitution for Germany,
or, as it is to be henceforth called, .. The League of
the Rhine," has been officially notified by BACKS',
the French Minifter to the Diet of Ratiflyrn. It is
curious to hear Bow AAAAA e affigning as reafons for
putting an end to the ancient code, the very
events and calamities which he has been fo
mental in producing. The peace of Luneville, and
the peace of Prefburgh, have contributed more to
the defiruaion of that venerable edifice, than all
the attacks which it has ever (offered from foreip 0
force or dometlic treachery and commotion.

Osmium advanted to lot, and Outlasted for tome,
time between that price and to. It was not until
owe o'clock that the fellers became predominant, and
there was a bong indication of a confiderable fall.—
At that hour, feveral Brokers, who were the fiat
I, to purchife at the tomtnencemem of the conefpon.
dente between this country and li'rance, attempted
to throw foam heavy lots on the market, which

Teemed to be tefufed at almoft any price. This ope-
rated as a fignal for a general fele t and numbers of-
fered their Otanium, without findiog a purchafer,
nod, it had experienced 'a depreffion of between two
and three per cent. There was not, in fat, a bargain

the panic continued in the Market, he& fellers came

iad Otanium left off at 64, and Confols 621.
The report moll prevalent was, that when Bast.

ation to a fuccefsful iffue. This determination, it was

A letter, received by the lift Lifbon Mail. lays:—
" The Spanifb Government has iffued orders to put
thirteen regiments of infantry, two of artillery, and
to of militia. on the war eflablifhment ; hut the def-
tinatirm of theft troops is not known. Many are the
conjectures in which people indulge upon this rubjed,
the leaft probable of which is certainly that of an
approaching rupture with France. Not but that
there are fufficient grounds for it. The unworthy
• ttrage which the Spanifh Monarch had lately to bear'
from Bonaparte, for having ventured to intercede in
, behalf of the King of Naples, and hefitatei to UP
fcribe the required renunciation to his rights to that
throne; the obligation impored upon him to continue
at war with England, however tuinous that war may
prove; the imperious command fo recently laid upon
him to break with Sweden, though the melancholy
condition of the Spanifh commerce rendered her
friends hip more neceffary to Spain than ever; and
finally, the heavy tributes which are candled from
him, while his army and navy are left without pay,
and almoft every daft; of his fubjetis is reduced to the
greaten limits; all there would certainly warrant a
rupture ; but nothing of the kind can be expeetcd.—
Bonaparte's Diplomatic Aide•de-Camp (Duroc) is
at this very moment on an extraordinary minion at
Madrid, and the Spanifh Government appears to be
even loft to a fenfe of its degradation. Others fup-
pore, that the Regulars are to be employed in expe-
ditions beyond the fear, white the Militia will do
their duty in the interior; and this opinion is corro-
borated by the order fent to the Commander of the
Cadiz fquadron to hold himfelf ready to fail, at a
moment's warning, with his eight fail, however man-
ned; and by the well known want in which Spanifh
America nand. of affillance from the mother coon •
try. But, on the other hand, how could the Spanifh
Government think of expofing a part of it.
and the remnants of its navy, to almoft certain de-
informed as it is that Lord Collingwood is
at the mouth of the harbour from which the expedi-
