French MILITARY EDUCATION.

It is known that during last winter NUM-
Der of the scholars of Prytaneam at Paris,
were sent to the grand army in Poland.-Ha-
ny of these young men had weakly appear
ance. When at Berlin, lwhere they remain
ed one night their youth and apparent inabi-
lily to bear the faiigues Of war, cccasloned re-
marks, addressed to the officer WIG attended
them. This occasioned statement in reply
which is not unworthy notice" There is
not, said he, single young man here, whose
body is not hardened by exercise, and all OF
them have had more experience than many
an officer who has served in other armies
Their bodies have been made insensible to all
the evils which threaten the practical soldier
There is not one who has not actually worked
at the raising Notifications, and who has not
stood sentry whole nights: They have slept
in the open air during cold stormy nights;
on the following day they have taken milf
tary walk Of sixteen or eighteen leagues, they
have climbed steep hills in the height of the
summer, and have swan through cold and
rapid rivers both with s without their clothes
they have been forced to spend whole days,
without food, and abstain from liquor during
excessive heat, in order that they may be ac-,
quainted with all the inconvenience of a SOL
ier's'life, before these are through necessity
imposed upon them. Nothing can alarm them
from being unexpected, for IN their exercises
in fencing, after their first lessons, they are
made to throw aside their foils, and fence with
sharp swords, and the wounds they may re-
ceive attributed alore to their own awkward
ness
A late traveller on the Rhine observes, that
he often saw the conscripts on the parade at
Cologne, on the German frontier. They UNI
derwent very short and simple course of
drilling. They were taught TO wheel, form
close columns, load, fire, and charge with the
bayonee; in five days they were considered
qualified to march with veteran troops very
little attention was paid 10 forming line; a
more sloyeniy one, he says, he meyer wit
messed.
Little attention, too, was paid to the dress
of the acn, who were uniform only in wearing
a short Jacket, and IN every other article
seemed to consult their taste and their pock-s
cts. This might afford some useful hints to
those countries where drilling is process SO
and troublesome, both to officers and
men, and where there are SO many profound
about the shape Of cap or a
Jacket. How beautifully cloathed and elegant.
ly drilled were the Prussian soldiers IN COM
parisoIf of this. Even If We look nearer homo,
we shall find much Of those fantastic dresses,
which if any thing could render yalor ridicu=
lous, would certainly have that effect. He
mentors fact, which strongly shews the de-
cided military spirit ofthe French. He ira
yelled several days in company with cons
script, an elegant young man, the son OF
gentleman Of fortune, and nephew of a gene
raj in that part of the army where ne was go
