THE depopulation of France has keen much greater than it easily to be conceived —Emigration, the Guillotine, Levitt "en Giaffee" and the imprsffmeati, better known uader the title of Confcriptian!, have ef fectually drained the interior or France of all the yopthful, hearty, and ab!e bodied male inhabitants, and< a day it very sear and rapidly advancing, whan it will be found full ai difficult for the Republic ta re cruit her armies by any meant whatever as it is now found to re establish her finances.
