PRIVATE LETTER.-ANTWERP, OCTOBER 242.

Troops in smalP detachments are arriving here
daily, and afterwards proceed to various stations in
South Bevaend, Cadsand, &c. so that, though we
have not now more troops in this city than usual,
there is in the neighbourhood a great additional force
collected within the last fortnight. This accession
consists principally of the new levies, into which are
introduced a great number of lads of only 16 years
of age..
It is not necessary that veteran troops, respectable
for their services, and revered for their courage, should
be emplopd in the duties in which these recruits are
engaged. They labour at the construction of bar-
racks,' and the erection of fortifications of different
kinds, and their principal posts of duty are at Bt.r
gen-op-Zoom, Biskins, Ondelanole, Gues, Bierllvet,
the western point of Beveland, and several villages
in that neighbourhood. At the place first mentioned,
there are about 2000 of them.

The English, we hear, are also continuing their
improvements and additions to the works in Wal-
Omen. Their sick are very numerous, and continue
so, although cargoes of them have been sent off; and
it is not at all likely, that in such a situation, they
can be in the way of recovery.
The fleet remains much in the same posicon, with
the exception of a few of the ships which have beeu
floated into deeper water, and have rece:ved some of
their gun.; on board.

We this morning received German Pj;;:;

to be collected inHanover, and tile B..mks of U:e f':,
by the name of the Amy of I3anover• 'l'l4e Prl,,
of I'ONTE COUVO is to command.

We this day ineert, from the linstheur of the t!,
October, three Aida' documents of some in.przten,
—the Address of the Arch•Chanceli.z et • t‘e
Aire to the Conservative Senate, on the

subject of the new Conscription, the previ
of he Minister of War on that nieai,,.:re, 07:d an,
lative to the projet of the Senatus Consuttum, •

According to these documents, not a I,:r.^e
ment of the French Army on the -Danube will
marched into Spain ! The army already in :ix:
4_m of a elf: rf •,sCauou
country, with the WY. insr a bi; 3. ;
men, established at Bayonne to feed it and keep up
its numbers, is judged quit:: sufficient to :..ftect art
secure the conquest of that kingdom !
In this measure there is much more than me?ts tl:
eye or the ear. Under the prc*:t that the arnly
in Germany will not be wanted in Spain, a new levy
of conscripts is drawn out into the field—a force more
than sufficient -for any operations that can he carricd
on in the winter months. In the mean time the pea.e
that was negociating on the Danube has been signed
since the date of these documents, and conteqQatly
the whole or .the greater part of the French army that
was detained in that quarter may be remora!, and
.marched gradually and without ostenta;;;.:l in any
direction, and to any quarter where tLcir servlc. may
be wanted.

It is, therefore, exceedingly probable, notwithstan-,
ding the public declarations of the French Ministers
that a portion of them will be marched t(.wards the
peninsula : but we are persuaded in in nil tl7at
occurred since the commencement of the Spapish
war, that NAPOLEON will not find it absolutely neces..
sary to march his whole German army into Spain.—
Will the French Emperor disband thJt army ?
he keep it idle ? He will do neither. How Wen isle
to be occupied ? It is more than probable that he
will employ a large force along with the artnT of
ALEXANI)ER in the war in which the lattcr cast
engaged against Turkey.—To promote the views cf
the Russian Emperor ? In the with Turliej
he is fighting his own battle, as .ILEXANVLit will find
when too late.

In the present crisis, what ought Great tritiiin to
do ? We waste our strength if we ciary cn the
contest in the Pcninsulak, or bury our ups in the
swamps a Walcheren. Vi -e ought, by souse tr.e.nis
or other, to prccuie convenient commercial sitLltict4
among the Greek Islands. If we neglect to b4;curo
these, NAYOI,EON Will not. e ought also to buy
ourselves the Island of Sicily- The rightful owner
will gladly accept of an establishment in England as
the price of a possession which, without our aid, he
