The French Journals received during the present week are chiefly filled with the debate of the Lower House on the nrnnnsed Law for recruitme the r rencn armies. It is not at all surprising that the discussion on this subject has been more than usually animated and interesting. To a military nation; such as France has recently been, every question which res pects the arniv, touches ail the springs of a French 'nan's most powerful emotions. Tin: dreams and realities of conquest and ! ! of glory, as well as of defeat and sul:jnga urerevived by these debate;, and the ,1,,,! vivacity which seemed to have slept during the former part ot the Ses sions, appear in all its accustomed vigor. I The whole import of Cotton into Great j Britain iu 1817, is estimated at 479,291 j packages of various sizes, weighing by computation 131, 9-51,200 lbs. which at an f average of Is. 6d. per lb. would amount j to nearly 10 millions sterling ; a most astonishing sum for the raw material ot a single manut.tctare : I he greater part f this immense import .tioa has been brought into this pert. Tiiis quantity exceeds the imports of 1815 and 1816, severally, by about 110,000 bag weighing ab ut "41,000.000 lbs. or upwards of two millions sterling. The greattst part of this increase has arisen from the opeirng of the East India trade, which in extent and importance, it is thought, will soon5 rival the trade to the West Indies, as far as respects Liverpool.
