Pursuant to Circular Letter from the Min
lister Of the Interior, all the Projects in the
different Departments have opened registers
tor entering the names Of such young men as
do not belong to the conscripton, and chuse to
serve in the Emperor's Guard of Honour.
Most OF the English prisoners at Verdun
have been brought away from that place, some
to Nalenclennes, and others to Vaudreuil, in
the Department de PEure, FIVE leagues from
Louuers, where there are two castles, the
most ancient of which is surrounded by bitches.
The road of Mount Gents is now completed,
and three carriages may so abreast from No
valaise to Lans le Bourg
Upwards of 1000 men are employed night
and day in erecting additional works round
hehl, for which purpose number of new
houses must be pulled down. One-half Of the
place IS already evacuated, and a number of
people are thereby reduced to poverty and dis
tress, being without houses or sustenance-
AS the razing Of the houses did not proceed
quick enough, it was rsolved to burn them
down but this was postponed one day, and,
in that short space, every possible assistance
has been given to the inhabitants by the neigh
bours. The Emperor has PROMISED the suffer
ers $4,000 forms.

a Russian squadron, we believe, arrived in
Leith Roads on Monday. On Saturday, some
strange vessels were observed about the mouth
Of the Firth, and not answering the signal,
the Sea Fencibles at Leith and Newhayen were
ordered on board the Admiral's shin, the Ter-
e[, IN Leith Roads, which they obeyed with
much alacrity. But a vessel arrived at Leitb.
stated, that they were a squadron of Russian
men OF war, and, in consequence, pilots were
sent OF to them Immediately.

THE war of the third coalition has COM

Inn, violated treaties, attached and driven from
his capital, our ally.
Yourselves You have been hurried by for
ced marches to the defence of the frontiers /:
You have already passed the Rhine And no
thing shall arrest our progress until we have
assured the independence ofthe Germanic Bo-
dy ; relieved our allies and confounded the
pride of our aggressors. We will not make
peace without guarantee. Our generosity
shall not again triumph over our interests.
Soldiers Your Emperor is in the midst Of
you. You are the advance-guard ofthe Grand
Nation fit should be necessary, the whole
of that nation shall rise at my voice to con-
found and dissolve this new league formed by
the hatred and gold of England.
Soldiers we have forced marches to make !;

But the obstacles which present themselves
we will overcome ; and we will never take re-
pose until we have planted our Engles upon
the citadels of our enemies.
