and having one third more artillery, will very
soon take the field. A corps Of 80 Battslions
are forming themselves to the mapeuvres in
camps, or are in reservs in the interior.
independent OF the corps which the King
dom OF Italy has in the Grand Army, 40 900
Italians will form several camps, TO defend
the coasts of Venite, of the Illyrian provin-
ces, and OF the Adfiatic.
The army OF Spain has sent back TO France
nearly ! so skeletons of battaloDs, aud about
so skeletons OF squadrons, but they have found
recruits, which far more than compensate for
this loss.

such a distinguished manner overthrew the
English c4yary,and four regiments OF Guards,

LONDON, March 20.
. II we could trust the separate estimates OF
force in all tne gdrrisons and under The diff
ferent Generals whose names are recapitulat-
ed we should conc ade that BoDaparte had
already three hundred thousand men under
arms and almost within sight OF the enemy.
Let us euumerate these great asse mblages OF
troops. Al Ddn,zYc 10000, at Thorn $500,
a, Modlin 5000, AT Zanio,e 4ooo, at Czento-
chan 900 in an 4S 100, besides tie corps
OF Schwar,zen5urg, and Ponia,owshi, which
may DC supposed 20 be 10000 each:--- Here,
then, is an army OF SO 400 men In Poland
On the Oder there ale, al Stctun 900, at
Custrin 900, and AZ Giogan 5000, besides
6JOO a. SpaDdaU, not far from that river 10
all $4,000. The forces on the Elbe a:e still
more numerous. ~ Madcbnrg new divis-
IONS, one corps of cavalry, and one WesiPha.
ian corps, at least 30,06o at ittemburgh
the llih corps, and G.epier's, say 10000
at Torgan, 6oOo at Dresden, tae ~ corps,
Dureue's, and Bavarian division, which TO-
gethcr may be supposed 10 amount To- l.? ?ooo'
CO the Eibe, therefore, there are z ,Qoos be-
sides 10000 advancing towards Hembafsh
under General Vandammc. -, = .oi
The Grand Army itself, we are told, oeen-
pies LEIPZIG and its neighhcrhcoh even. 10
overflowiDg. There ere ~ the. corps under
Besuharhois, besides the lst, under Dayousi,
aud the 2d, under Victor.--Let us take these
moderately at $4,000 besides ted thoa.aEd
Saxons who il IS said, are pow under levy
OF the armies in the rear, Ney. at Hanau,
may be calculated at $4,000 Marnon,'s at
Frankfort, Or lhe Mayne, 2o,cQc the Bava-
riars, under Wreda, 10 900; the Wurtem-
bergers, sc. at Wuuzbure, 10000 ; and
Bertrand's army, coming up lrom the Tyrol,
10000 in all 10000. This would make an
elective strength of $4,000 men already on
