Thus, therefore, the whole force Naror.zos will have
to contend with, certainly will not be found to atoned
300,000 men of all arms and nations. On the con-
trary,the French army is known to be at least 400,000
dross( in old sokliers,who have every man made several
campaigns, and are actuated under the Triple Enthu-
siasm of fighting for their country, the indepentienee
and absolute existence bf which they consider at stake
—for their Chief, under whom they baronet believed
themselves invincible, when treason was out of the
comities ; and for their own honour, and indeed for
themselvesindividually. The proscribingProciamations
ofthe Allies having taught them to consider the con-
flict as a sort of Helium irdernecinam, a war of ex- 1
termination. It cannot be doubted but that these are
strong stimulants, and we are convinced the event
will bear os oat in the prediction, that mighty in-
deed will be the straggle. The French army is
now composed of wholly French materials. The
old revolutionary spirit is infused into it, and the
object for which it will fight will be entirely French.

'stimulus. That electric word—Liberty? will make
every mane hero; end if there should arrive a neces-

Couortre's frostreST.—On Thursday ermine an
Inquest was held at the sign of the Volunteer, in
Knightsbridge, on the body of James Martin, aged
60, who was found drowned by a Newfoundland
dug, in the Serpentine River, in Hyde Park ; it an.
peered on examination of the witnesses that the de.
cased was formerly a lighterman in very respectabhs
circumstances. There were no marks of silence on
the body, and he could not be drowned there by oc-
cident, mad although the presumption was that-he
drowned himself, there was no proof to that effect,
and for want of further evidence the Jury returned a
verdict of—Found Drowned.
ICommencement of llosttlities.—Notwithstanding
that the public are hourly looking to hear of a battle
in the Netherlands, yet there are many persons,
