France has at her disposal an army 

 of 193,000 men, including the gendar- 

 merie. There may be a deficiency in 

 the military means here stated ; nor is 

 it easy to exhibit, at present, a correct 

 detail of these resources. 



The national guards amount to 

 about 650,000 men. 



The marine, once formidable from 

 the skill and prowess of its intelligent 

 and intrepid officers, is now reduced to 

 a state of impotence ; but there wants 

 only a determination in the govern- 

 ment, some years of peace, and a 

 favourable opportunity, to appear again 

 with traits worthy of distinction. There 

 are five maritime prefectures, to which 

 a generous care is extended — Havre, 

 Brest, L'Orient, Rochefort, and Toulon.
