i PARIS, Nov. 27.-The news from Bel
! gium and all the Northern frontier of
France appears to have at length arous-
+ ed the French Government. The most
extraordinary cxertions have been order
ed to be made, to provision and garrison
! the iortrcsscs, to manufacture arms and
other materials, and to reorganize the ar
my. 1t is said to day on Change that
Government contemplates the formation
of an army Of 100, 900 men in the North
crn departments within three months.
| This however desirable, will be impossi-
! BILE, as to the utter state Of destitution in
| which the expelled Government left the
country, of all means of attack or even
of defence, will require a much longer
! period to repair it.
/ Amid the general impression that war
is impending, the public cling to the hope
that the Interference of your (the Eng
lish) now liberal Ministry will prevent
the resort to arms by the Northern Pow
crs, but ] can assure you that the pre-
dominating feeling is that we are on the
eve of war.

This has been very busy, but very
disspiriting day, here. War-war-inev-
liable war, is the cry of the principal por-
ton of the Spectators You will per-

In addition to other reports, propag ated to
! depress the Funds, is one, that the Prus-
sian army is under orders to cross the
frontier, and march on to Paris; and
there are not in the intermediate depart
ments a sufficient number of troops to
impede them. The idea Of such a coup
de main is, however, too absurd to de-
serve moments consideration. | have
just heard that the Garde Royale is re-
! called.

| The Gazette de Mayencc contains
the following extract of letter from Nj
meguen, dated Nov. l6-
/ Prussian troops are collecting along
the whole line olthe Belgian territory
! The 18th regiment is distributed in the
towns and villages of Wankun, near
! Gueldrcs, and as far as Emmcrich, upon
/ the banks Of the Rhine. A regiment of
| Hulans and a regiment of Hussars have
also arrived in that department. Each
battalion has artillery and ammunition
for half battery.
H Gen. Weyzach has settled his head
quarters at Guedres The first battal
ion of the 18th regiment and his staff are
at Clevcs. The words qu yiv are heard
! all night, and travellers are examined
with the greatest strictness. The entire
of those troops have a military and very
imposing appearance, and the severe dis
ciplinc which they are obliged to observe
| is beyond example. The roll was beat
en- at l2 O'Clock last night, and in less
). than five minutes the whole army from
| Wankum to the Rhine was drawn out in
| order of battle.

The Paris papers of Sunday, (28) and

They announce great activity on the part

sion of such step on the part of Russia
and her Allies is justified by authentic
information is not stated.

tonmcnts and garrsons which have been
evacuated by the troops sent to the from
tiers. If this army should enter into a
campaign, i. will be commandcdby Count
