General Quesnal on the left, General Marcognet in the centre, and Genetal Mermet with the cavalry, and a brigade of infantry on the right, haviqg a brigade in reserve.

Today we present oul• Readers with ample extracts. The latest Paris intelligence is of the 24th, being Wednesday list, although the Pa per: received come down to Saturday. A threat is held out of a movement upon Holland, in the direc tion of Wesel. Macnowatb, the miserable woes begone Duke of TARENTUM, who swam so manfully across the Pleissei when the Cossacks were at his heels, is to command the army destined to quell the Dutch insurrection. This fellow is not born to be drowned t he is one of those who "stood the test" of the kussian campaigi, and is also well acquainted with the es frightful climate" of Holland. It was there he gathered his first laurelo—it was there he first :filled his pockets with plunder, and became initiated into the mysteries of sacrilege and murder, under Car dinal MAua't's sublime and foreseeing genius, of an Emperor. It is not at all clear, however, that Mac noNat.n has left Cologne for any such purpose as the invasion of Holland ; on the contrary, it is more probable, that the approach of the Allies towards Cologne has frightened him out of it. There is an article from that place, dated the 17th, which breathes a considerable degree of amnions sensibility on the subject. The French had shut themselves up in the fortress during a Visit from the Cossacks, and an inhabitant comes to assure them that all is safe. They then venture from their hiding.place, and are, no doubt, overjoyed to learn that the Allies had 44 gone to a dis tance." lint a word is said of retaining Cologne— it is, we believe, not strong enough for apiece d'anees. " Wesel and Joliert are in excellent condition," and 44 all the left bank of the Rhine is lined with troops and artillery."— , 4 We are, in short, in a vrnr secure attitude !"—So you were but yesterday, after the battles of Leipsic and Hanau! How are the tables turned upon these bragadocios I They do not even bargain for the Rhine as the boundary of France. Of the recent military events towards the Pyrenees, the French Papers are as sparing as usual, when there are English Gazettes Extraordinary to fill up the chasm. All that the French nation has been made acquainted with for many months through the me dium of their own Journals, is comprised in ten lines. The Duke of DALMATIA made a reconnoissance on the 17th inst. in which the English suffered severely, and the French had one man killed! The Anglo- Porraguese Armies are 4 4 in want of Salt!"—They, nevertheless, contrive to iseiver Monsieur of DAL.. iIATIA*S conscripts tolerably well, when they come in contact with them. From Switzerland we are regaled with a Procla mation, or Manifesto, bearing the signature of REIN.. HARD, a Frenchinao, who calls himself the Chief Magistrate of the Helvetic Confederation. He pro fesses neutrality. and arms the nation to maintain lt. We know the meaning of all this—an appearance is to be kept up that Switzerland declares for France. We think we may venture to assert in the teeth of it, (RuN HARD'S Proclamation) that the example of the Allies will be followed by the Swiss Patriots. At Paris, if we are to believe the French Journals, the public tranquillity is only disturbed by occasional shouts of " Vive ?Empower:" How gratifying to the feelings of BONAPARTIOS admirers is this important intelligence ! Dot this is not all—the King 61 Rostz is well; he is now precisely two years and eight months old, and he appeared in uniform at a review, with closed doors, in the Court of the Thuilleries, on Wednesday last. His august Father chewed himself et the grating," now and then, to the populace.— He had been at the Opera the evening before, and was received with loud acclamations by the well dressed canaille of Paris. He durst not trust himself .as yet, however, out of the inclosures of the Thuille ries by day-light, But it is not from Paris Papers that we are to de rive any authentic information as to the real state of France. A Lady who reached England within these few ' days, from Toulouse ) informs us that Peace is the universal cry in France. The Conscripts, however, are marching—though in tears h And our Dover Correspondent, on the same subject, i. e. the present state of France, writes as follows : " DOVER, NOV. 29. di It has been currently reported all day, that an embargo has been hid upon all the Ports throughout France. The critical posture of affairs In that coun try renders this event very probable, but although I have used every exertion to trace this report to an authentic source, my endeavours have not proved successful" The preparations for the grand entertainment to be given by the Patrice REGENT to the Russian Deputa• tion, the Foreign Ambassadors, Ministers, &c. are going on, There is to be a dinner for about fifty, which is to take place in the criusson State room.

You have hitherto had for an excuse for your inactivity in the great struggle which is carried' on for the greatest blessing of nations, th a t you r obe dience to your government prevented you from fol. lowing the voluntary sentiments of your minds; that being enclosed in the shackles of the enemy, who kept your country filled with his hosts, you could not raise your arms for the cause of your native country. 44 Since the occurrences of late days, your Govern ment can no longer demand any obedience contrary to the will of the Allied Powers, under whose protec • tion PROVIDENCI has placed your countries.

Let a general desire awaken to avoid the misery which threatened to spread everywhere to exert your strength in the sacred cause of your country and liberty, and worthily join the society of those valiant Germans who have hitherto so victori ously fought the battle, and of the whole German people, who shall live and flourish as in ancient re. nown and in its former liberty and independence, for the welfare of all Europe I The undersigned General Government, which is established by the High Allied Powers for the chief direction of this country, under the central depart ment for all the occupied countries, has, for the prin cipal object of its care, to raise and form the internal force of the countries in the most speedy manner pos sible.
