PARIS, August 6.
An imperial decree, dated the 3d of this
month, ordains a levy of 50,000 conscripts,
takenfrom the 80,000 atnhorifcd to be pla
ced in a (late of aftivity by a deem of the
2d Vendemiar, year 14. They will be di
vided among the different corps of the army.
The 30,000 conscripts remaining from the
80,000, wiil form the reserve of the year
1806.
** At present, of the 80,000 men of the
* cbnfcription of 1806, the emperor has judg
ed that the calling out of 50,000 is ncceffa
ry. If, as every things leads to hope, the
affairs of the Continent arc about to be fet
tled, fhrfc 50,000 men will'ferve to replace
the soldiers who (hall receive their difeharge,
and return to their families. If, on the con
trary, which there is no reason to think, the
period of the repose of the Continent is not
yet arrived, these‘ 50,000 men, by rrtmple
ting the differenr corps on the war footing,
will carry, the French army to itshigeft de
gree of strength,
** In any event, then, this levy is necef.
fary. Even if we had enjoyed profound
peace, we (honld always have called out, if.
not 50,000, at lead 40,000 men. Since the
last review, 20,000 men have been,difchar
ged ; and by the refidt of the reviews of this
year, it is probable that an equal number
will again return to their homes.
LONDON, August 15.
The Lord Mayor gave ytftcrday a fplcn

“ The King, and God bless him.’*
** The and Royal Family.**
“ The Prince and his royal brothers, and
thanks to them lor the honor they have
done the city jn the present Mayoralty by
their prefence.**
** The American Miniders present, Mr.
Monroe, Mr. Pinckney, and General Ly
man ; and may there be perpetual harmony
between the two countries.” 1
Mi. Monroe begged leave to return
thanks for the honour which had been done
him, which he did not efliraate so much
peifonally, as with regard to- his country.
There exided a thousand teafons, he find,
which mad* it desirable for him to promote
a becoming feeling of good-will between
Great-Britain and America ; but while he
mud be contidercda true and faithful servant
of his republic, yet no perfoaal exertion on
his part (honld be wanting to preserve that
cordiality so cflfential to the.interefts of t(se
two countries ; and begged leave to drink
all their good healths.
Mr. Pinkney observed, that he accorded
perfeftly in the sentiments that had been
expressed by his colleague, and that no en.
deavours on his part (hould be wanting to
promote the good underdanding which ought
ever to subsist between Great-Britain and
America.
Several other toads were drank.
The Members withdrew about ten o*.

company were protrafted to a later hour,
Earl St. Vincent has left the channel
fleet, and failed to the fourhward in the
Hibernia, with the Defiance and some smal
ler (hips. He will fird proceed to. Lisbon,
but we can hardly believe for the purpefe
mentioned a day or two ago, of taking on
board, the Prince cf Brazil. He would not
defect his kingdom till the last extremity.
But the Li (bon mail which arrived this
morning juftifies us in entertaining a suspi
cion that some expedition is intended against
Portugal. This is underdood to buone of
the menaces which Bonaparte holds out a
gaind this country, in order to induce us to
fubferibe to certain terms.
A Portuguefc meflenger, with difpatehss,
arrived this morning.

An intelligent non.commifficned c£ccr
from the exploring part)-, of Mr. Freeman,
arrived in this city yesterday morning with
letters. We have not had an opportunity
of conversing with him—but learn from a
gentleman who made particular enquiries—
that he dates—“ That, a party of Spanish
cavalry, supposed one thousand in number,
had approached within seven miles of the post
of Nachitochcs, and sent a meflage to the
commanding t fficcr requiring him to remov®/
to this fide of the Red-River—but that in
confequencc of a Icarcity of provisions and a
sudden mortality occurring in their camp, by
which a number of men died, the Spanish
commanding tfficer had thought proper to
make a retrogade movement across the Sa
bine.” We did not learn whether Colonel
Cufhing .had applied to the ahfurd requifuica
of the Don,
CHARLESTON, Oflober 4.
The ship Globe, Capt. Flancers,
arrived at this port yesterday, in 47 davj
from Bristol.
It was the general opinion of the mercan.
tile community, when the Globe left Bris
tol, that a peace would not rcfult from the
embalfy of Lord Lauderdale, and this opin
ion is strengthened by the articles we ex.
trail from the London Courier, an eve.
ning paper of the 15th.
Mr. Fox’s disorder had taken a favours
hie turn ; he was faft recovering, and was
confidcred as out of danger.
Some hints are thrown out, of a proba
bility that Russia may be brought to aft
against England, through the intrigues ard
infltiece of Bonaparte.
But the intelligence more immediately
interesting to the American reader, is the
probability which this arrival furnishes of
a speedy fcttlement of the differences exit
ing between this country andGreat-Britain.
Accounts from Norfolk state, that a re
ceipt on the score of exchange, was requeu
ed, or demanded of the French Ccnful, by
the English, for the delivery of those ot the
crew of the French ship L’lmpeteux, who
were sent into Norfolk. The French Con
sul refufed compliance, and declared that
they could not he confidcred prijoners ; the
attack on the French (hip, and the burning
of her, having taken place within the jurif
didlion of the United States.
From the Universal Magazine,
for May, 1806.
BIOGRAPHICAL sketch of
LORD HE NR T PELL T.
Lord Henry Petty, the youngest f>nof the
la!t marquis of Landfdown, by his fccond la
day Louisa Fitzpatrick, filter to the exiling
earl of Upper Olfory, and to the late dow
ager lady Holland (mother of the prefect
lord Holland,) was born in July, 17S0. -At
nine years old, lord Henry was deprived of
the afteftion.ofhis accoraplifhed mother, la
dy Louisa, who died August 2, 1759.
The faperintendancc of the inltruttion cf
lord Henry having now devolved, exclnfive
ly, on the marquis cf Landfdown, that no
bleman entered, with redoubled ardour on
the “ delightful talk.” Wirh him, is wi>h
the great lord Holland, in the education of
the present Mr. Fox, and as with the great
earl of Chatham, in the education of the late
Mr. Pitt, the formation cf the mind of his
youngest son appears to have constituted his
primary gratification. All these noble states
men, each of them honourably remembered
for his talents and measures, arc remarkable
for the attention bestowed by them oh their
younger sons, and the anticipations they
entertained, as to the future eminence of their
favourite offspring. Between the fortunes cf
lord Henry Petty and the late William I’itr,
there exits, indeed, as far as it can be car
ried, a striking parallel,—Both were the
youngest fans of flatefmen, celebrated for
patriotifra and abilities, who evinced equal
afliduity in the tuition of their refpeftb’c
children, with similar piefentiments of suc
cess. Like the late Mr. Pitt, lord Hen*'/
early diftinguiftied himfelf as a parliamenta
ry advocate for the liberties of his country :
if, at the age of 24 years, Mr. Pitt became
chancellor of the exchequer, lord Henry fib’s
the fame office before the completion of >btf
26th year ; both of these ministers finithed
their studies at the university of Cambridge;
and lord Henry Petty succeeds Mr- Pi f, b
not only as chancellor of the exchequer, but
also as repre/entative for the university cf
Cambridge. It was acknowledged fonie
thing in favour of Me. Pitt, at the dawn
ing of his political day, that he was the cl*-
rifhed son of the great carl of Chatham ;
is not a little to the credit of lord Henry
ty, at a similar time, that he is kno ; >". * s
