The traditional grammar rules are:
Use shall with I and We.
Use will with all other Persons.
Reverse this for emphasis:
The sea shall not have them.
Increasingly will is used across the board. Shall is by far the least common Modal Auxiliary Verb; in conversation will is used fourteen times more frequently than shall (despite the frequency that/occurs in speech). The only occasion when shall is normally used with/and we is in questions:
Shall I come with you?
