OCTOBEE. 16. —The Governmc.: publithed on the
29th Fratidor (September ii), a Decree telative to
the recruiting of the army and the organization of
the Confcripts of the Referve. The Decree contains
the rules for dividing forty thoufand of them among
the different veteran Corps. There Confcripts are to
conaft of one half of thofe of the year it, and one
half of thole of the year sz, whole active fcrvice was
required by the Military Law pallid in the courfe of
the laft Scion of the Legiflative Body. The young
men of thefe two claffes (hall be immediately feleeted,
and in order always to keep the contingents com-
plete, there fball be formed a Supplementary Litt of
the Confcripts of the fame dal's, which (hall include
one-foUrth of the Contingents, who than be at all times
ready to replace thofe who have gone before them.
Already meafures have been taken to put the Con-
fcripts in regulation, that without any difficulty they
may be feletted and fent off to the army immediate-
ly, without any dittindlion of the year to which they
belong. For this purpofe tables of the Military Con-
fcription of the year za were circulated over the De-
partments before the end of the year zl. This preli-
minary Rep has been taken in virtue of a circular let-
ter of the Minifler at War received by the Prefeis in
the beginning of left Fruetidor (about the 19th or
zoth of Auguß.) The Manifter, while reminding
them.that the law only requires the Confcription at
the commencement of each year, adds, that circum.
fiances on the prefent occafion demanded the antici-
pation of this work.—Monilew.

The preparations for the expedition againft Eng
land are continued with unabated aeivity. There
will be no thought of Peace till the decilion of the
great fcene now preparing.
Two couriers have arrived here from Madrid, one
to the Spanifh Ambstrador the Chevalier AZZ ARA,
and the other to the Minitter TALLEYRAND. Spain is
now unanimous with France, with rebuff to the mea•
fares to be taken, and we (hall loon fee the conk-
queues of her union in the war againit England.
The gun-boats provided with pieces of heavy ar-
tillery, which are built according to the direeions of
the counfellor of (tate FORNSIT, are much preferable
to thofe built towards the dole of the laf war. A
veffel is building at St. Maloes for the FIRST CONSUL.
