A Gentleman who left Paris in the beginning of March,
states, that the Conscription has been enforced throughout
France with the utmost rigour, and has in most places
been successful, The drawing, assembling, and diilling
of the troops, were scarcely permitted to occupy three
wee ks, befure they were marched off towards the Rhine
and the Elbe, where several corps of observation were
assemb'ed under General Lauriston and the Duke'of Ra-
usa, to Cover, or rather overawe, the German States.
In addition to this resource, in the begianing of last mouth
a proclamation was issued, inviting all males, between
(he ages of eighteen and thirty-two, who had escaped
being drawn for the Conscription, to jain the Northern
Army, oflering to provide for their families, or whatever
‘elatives might be dependent upou them for support ; and
holding out, in consequence of the deficiency of oflicers,
the hope of early promotion, as an inducement tuo those
who shoui? volunteer their services. ‘he 11ch inst. was
fixed as the period for marching those who had enlisted
to join the army. In regard to the cavalry, it is stated
that there was every probability that 40,009, the number
originally required, would be raised, their being Scarcely
an individual, -possessed of competency, who had not
yielded to the influence of those around him, and provided
a recruit or horse, or asum of money. In France, there-
fore, the opinion was, that the Emperor’s exertions to,
assemble a vast military force would be successful, and
that in May or June he would assume the command,

mense. The greatest part of it is now on his way to Ben-
gal, and the prize-money is about to be shared amongst
the claimants.
The following is an extract of a letter on the subject:
Djweocarta, June 28, 1812.
‘< Since [ last wrote, we have hada brush with theSul-
tau of Djofocarta, and with very trivial loss on our part
have stormed his place, taken him prisoner, and raised
his son to the throne, I[lis treasure has become the pro-
perty of the captors, and a subaltern’s share will amount
to between 3 and 4000 dollars, Our Joss ® inconsidera-
ble, compared to the number of troops whom we had to
oppose. ‘The enemy stood well while they were sheltered
by their fortifications, but at the sight of our men on the
top of our walls, they fled in all directions. Colyuel Gil-
lespic, Who commanded, was wounded, but not severcly ;
and an officer of his Majesty’s 14th regiment has since
died of his wounds.”
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE,
New York, Jan. 7.—By all that we can learn from
Washington, says the United States Gazette, it appears
to us sulliciently evident that some juggle is about to take
place between the Administration and their underwoikers
in Congress, with a view to get this troublesome war off
their hands. Lt has served the purpose for which it was
made, by securing to Mr. Madison his re-election, and he
how wishes to have nothing more to do with it,
I'rom the National Intelligencer.
We observe that au idea is in circulation in some of the
Gazettes, that there is a prospect of au ¢arly accommoda-
tion with Great Britain. We wish it may be founded on
any recent indications, on the part of Great Britain, of a
disposition to meet the liberal advances of our Government.
Of such a disposition we have however no proof. Of the
perseverance of the United Statesin their pacific disposi.
tion, we have no doubt that every additional proof will
appear from time to time that circumstances may render
proper. We allude more particularly to its being intend.
ed, as we learn, to introduce into the Legislature a propo-
sition for excluding by law foreign seamen from the public
and private vessels of the United States. This will pro-
vide for giving effect to any stipulated arrangement between
the two governments, which may take place after the ad.
journment of Congress, without the delay and inconye..
nience incident to a special call for the purpose.
Extract of a letter, dated Norfolk, Dec, 26:—‘‘A.
View original vessel arrived yesterday with the crews of scveral vessels
captured by the squadron at our Cape, and put dn board
just at our Light, among them the ship Pekin (formerly
the British ship Ann Green), coming round in ballast with
a Sidmouth, to load at Alexandria, taken becanse that
she had becn made a prize from them siuce the war, (dn.
other account states that it was because they would not
abmit that her licence protected her only from Alexandria
outwards )—sent to Bermuda. It is said the Commander
of the Poictiers regretted the capture afterwards, and
thinks she will be released. They are close in with the
Capes and speak every thing. ‘Thereare some fears of an
attack here or more south, and the State Governments
are making some preparations.”
Lord Wellington’s Answer to a late Address of the
Merchants of Lisbon.
Lisbon, Jan. 18.
Gentlemen; I am much flattered by the honor
you have conferred on me by this visit, and gratified
by the terms in which you have addressed me.
In the conduct of the operations entrusted to my
directions, it has been my invariable wish and en-
deavour to spare the lives of the brave Officers and
Soldiers under my command, to whose galantry and
discipline their country and the world are so mnch
indebted ; and to diminish, as far as lay in my po-
wer, the miseries inseparable from a state of war;
and Jam happy that I have met with the approba-
tion of Gentlemen equally interested in the happi-
ness and prosperity of the people of the Peninsula,
aud capable of forming a judgment on the imporlant
occurrences of late years. WELLINGTON.
