that as the United States possess the means of

malta, in Albania, in Italy, Naples, aud in
Spain. annex 10 Il that OF your majesty's
armies ofreserve at Bologne, on the coasts,
on the Rhine, and IN the interior. Your
majesty will perceive that France never
before possessed more numerous or better
appointed armies, and that they were ne.
yer better kept up, or better provisioned.
Notwithstanding, however, the different
events which have taken place in Spain,
have occasioned aprety considerable loss,
IN consequence of an operation as iucon
ceivable as it is painful Of the Division un-
der Dupont--ynur majesty has notified the
resolution you have taken, of assembling
more than two hundred thousand men be-
yond the Pyreness, without, however, wes
keniDg either the armies in Germany. o.
that of Dalmatia. For the attainment oil
this end, a levy of eight thousand men APP
pears to be indispensable.
The Minister concludes with recommen-
ding the calling out of the next Conscrip~
ton.
