The fact is, that they are entrenching themselves—that -they use all precautions—that they make no reconnoissances, unless with numerous detachments—that they do not go out to forage.--and that they occupy only the large iillages, We have been a long time without knowing with what enemies we had to deal : we at length find that it is with the pavarians. The' patroles from Kehl daily resort to the vil lage of Suntheim. The enemy likewise come there when we are gone.. This village is not occupied by either party.

The city and environs of Mayence are very tran quil, the troops which arrive from the interior repair :o the cantonments assigned for them, and the irmy is in the best disposition. The Austrian and Russian van-guards, which are at Wickert and Weilbach, in front Of Frankfort, make no kind of movement; the French are observ ing them, and ready to repu;se their attacks. The enemy is not very numerous in ascending the Rhine, and even keep themselves at a distance from its banks ; tilt:) , know that the troops which form the cordon on the left bank are well entrenched, and their measures so well taken, that at the first signal a respectable force can be waited, and present itself at all points, - in such manner, that they have cause to fear for themselves. The Rhine is likewise well guarded from Mayence to Cologne, and, conse quently both commerce and manufactures have re turned to their usual channels; and the countries of Liege, Cleves, Juliers, and Aix-la-Chapelle, can scarcely perceive that they are situates' so near to the scene of hostilities. .

There is no movement of troops on the other side of the Rhine. One might suppose ourselves to be in the most profound peace, if the reinforcements which are arriving on the whole of the line occu pied by the French troops did pot follow each other without in terru,)tion. Several regiments of infantry, in excellent condi tion, have arrived within a few days past, in our city and at Cologne, where several Generals and superior officers are joined. The most constant and generous care is bestowed on the sick and wounded soldiers.— A great number of them are already perfectly re covered, and ready to rejoin their colours. The news which comes to us by travellers or otter indirect means, troth from Hamburgh and Holstein, are of a tranquillizing . nature. The Prince of Eck muld's corps still continues to occupy Ratzeburg and Hamburgh. Those places are provisioned for a long time, and their garrisons are animated-with an excel lent spirit. The fortiffcations, although previously formidable, have still been daily augmented. The enemy does not appear to have any considerable force on those points., They are still commanded by Generals Tet tenhorn and Woronzow, Harbuig, Stade, and the fort of Hope, have like wise French garrisons, full of ardonr, and disposed to make a vigorous defence, in case the coalesced ar mies should approach to attack those place;. In all the affairs which the Prince of Eckmuhl has had with the enemy's troops he has always obtained the advantage—he has been faithfully seconded by the Danes. The most perfect harmony subsists be tween the troop; of those two nations. We under stand that General Lauriston, with several of his A ides de camp, has arrived at Berlin. - METZ, NOVEMBER 90., This Place has a very numerous garrison ; it is the rendezvous of new battalions which pour into it from all parts ; it is a vast cantonment, where are heard the din of arms, those ,of warlike instrument:, and the commands of the instructors.

The French Generals Cluinette and Jacquemlnot, with several regiments of infantry, and a great num ber of coificers 4 arrived yesterday in this city. The greatest tranquillity continues to reign at Cologne. No movement has taken place on the right bank, either in front, orin the environs of this city. FRENCH FUNIVip Dec. 3-55 fr. 866.

RELEASE PROM OUR BURTHENS DN THE 2 tTli NOCZ►iEr AND ON•TIIE FOLLOWING DAM Already for several days past this city had been surrounded by partici of Cossacks, and several sum. monies had been refused by - the trench Commandant, insomuch that the impatience of the good inhabitant , . had risen to the greatest height, when on the 230. inst, early in the morning, a considerable corps r his Prussian Majesty's cavalry And Pagers appeasec, and made a heavy are on the town, hut, however, without much effect, until about one o'clock, when ' 4 fresh corps Approached from the aide of Brunerner, with six pieces of artillery ; when this waiknown, air hearts were filled with hope. of a speedy delivetarg from the slavish yoke laid on us by the tyrant of Eu. rope, and under which we have scs long groaned, after some indecisive negocisaioos for the sorrenifer of the town, the firing on it having recommenced. the indignation of the burghers at being brought into such danger by a despicable troop of Dona:bets and some French soldiery; as to risk seeing rem dent town destroyed, was so great, that some of the most re. • rctahle repaired to th e gate, where, finding the tench Commandant, they required of him. ;mine ....y to surrender the town, with intimation that the gates should he opened directly to the victorious arms of our liberators, the Alliei. The town being surrendered at discretion necessa rily caused some confusion, but thinks to Pito\ 1- 'nfNce and' the good discipline of the brave Allied troops our town was preserved from all irregularities, and by the good will of all the inhabitants every thing necessary was soon procured for a carps of about 4000 men, cayalry, and infantry, who had not tasted any thing since three o'clock in the morning, and the general spirit has since spread itself all around ; every one bears the colour of our beloved Prince ; his flag waves from the towers, and besides a general illemination which'our citizens made of their own ac. cord, the town has given a ball to the officers of the . garrison, at which the healths of our present libera tors, and that of our beloved Prince, were drank with that enthusiasm which such unexpected happiness must necessarily inspire all bosornes . The Proclamation issued by Messrs. - Von der Min Von Maastlam, and Gysberg Karel Von Hoogen. dorp, in thenaine of the Prince ofOrange, was pub lished immediately on being received here; and in consequence of the same, the burgou:asters of this town, with consent of the Governor Of that place, issued a Proclamation in the name of that Prince ; b.) , which all burghers ate called upon voluntarily to arm themselves to oppose the general enecal, 'nu national guard was likewise organized under the name of the Orange Guard. Every individeal must feel it his duty is assist in grounding our new reeoiered liberty, in order to ten. der us worthy of living under the mild and paternal : (Nvernment of the House of Orange ; and every one will likewise feel the necessity, whenever it should be required, of sacrificing every thing to preyent our country from again falliqg into the hand of an enemy thirsting for revenge; and'who vinoldissirtainly totally destroy It. . ;;TRACT OF A LITTilt snow AILIIMILDI, awn, Nos asuaza SO. a • In my last of the 2lth inst.

" A constant firing was continued until the after noon, when a flag of truce came to suinmen the town, but which was refused by the French. The sq : perior force of the Prussians gave us hopes that , it would not long remain upceitain. The'generosity of these enemies, without example, lad determined not to hurt any others than the French, and, above all, to spare the town, From time to time figs of truce continued coming in, but without success until Sunday, when the French haring drawn - up or; the Gallows Hill, a severe engagement took place there, us likewise was the case at Driel, which has cog many lives, A skirmish took place again yesterday, war the Jewish Burial-ground ; twenty-seven weun. ded aqd three killed were brought in, among whom were a colonel and officers, mortally wounded, It is reported, that eighty carts loaded with them have been sent from Driel to Nimeguen.
