We appeal td hii owls Oracles—the French Papers, for the accuracy of our tiptdicnic We are told, for instance, in a dispatch from Millormii4, Duke of TAItiNIVAI s that the French troops which garrisoned Neusse allowed themselves to be surprised in a man ner which would disgrace a picket guard of Local Militia—one Colonel was asleep.—his soldiers were not at their posts—the eagle of one of their regiments is 4 4 supposed to be lost"—and another Colonel, imi tating the example of his General, M‘DONALD, and their mutual Chieftain, ran away.

Marshal MACDSINALIN As the rrench solaks have now nothing to fight for, and are deprived of the presence of their beloved Emperor- that steady soldier's friend t we think it hard that their enjoyments should be limited to the solitary pleasure Of preventing him from 4. sitting upon a degraded throne," or wearing " 4 crown without glory." These Parisian orators are always in exrremes : after confessing that the head-quarters of the Grand Army are removed to Merz 7 -i. é. into the interior Of France—that a Bavarian division has insulted Kehl and Strasburg—that Antwerp is to be defend ed—that the piequets of the Allies extend along the whOle of the Rhine—that the extensive department of Mount Tonnere (comprising the Bishoprics of Liege and Spire) is threatened with an immediate irruption—that it is necessary to fill the old buchy ot Luxemburg with troops—that the Duke of TAREN -1 rum is ready to go wherever he is wanted, and that fienatrtnni is at Cologne. After all these admissions (sofilcifint, we think, to alarm the most h irdy and credulous believer_in 1;:e infallibility ot Cardinal MAURY'S riedie iOlk), the sagacious Journalist turns round and flitipAisz..._y -x -claims—"g What have we to fear P ' If thitmuosyl lable we means the French nation collectively, we answer, Norutwo : if it means BONAPARTE and his Government, we Sag, EVERY THING !

This is all the Parisians know of the Dutch insurrec- i - tion.—But, to make up for , this defeCtion. the Swiss Cantons have taken up tht...ertise of the unfortunate Mediator of the Helvetic Republic, and have sent Deputies to Paris and to Frankfort to mediate a ' peace. They will return as they went. The fustian in the Paris Papers on this subject has been manu factured to *raise the French funds : they are thus kept at 55. From Zurich, we learn, that BONAPARTE', faVolli. rite cordon of neutrality has been strengthened, on account of the slight incident of the appearance of some Austrian Hussars and a few Cossacks. The gates of Zurich are walled up, and the ramparts are planted with cannon r that is to say—the French emissaries are as busy as they can be to keep up ap 7 penances. The Swiss Patriots hate nu occasion, how. `ever, to be alarmed. We shall presently hear of their " eating and drinking with the Cossacks and doing them no hat m." This has been the case wherever they shewed themselves among the vassals of the merciful NAPO !LtoN i why should the Swiss alone forget his tender inerCit,s f The Bulletin of the PRINCE ROYAL of SWEDEN comes :lilt under re is w : it is remarkable not for any detaili with which we were before unacquainted,. but for another resuletc and manly denunciation of vengeance against the miscreant, who calls himself Emperor of the French, We were partly prepared for this public declaration ' of the CitowN PRINCE'S sentiments by his recent reply to the calumnies of the Moniteur. He has pointed to 1 BONA'PARTE by name•-••-:as the rhildeWed ear amid the standing corn; which must fall under the scythe of the reaper 'ere the inhabitants of Europe can ehjoy I the bounteous harvests of PaovtbeNck in sectirlty.— BONAPARTE (would that our columns weili not so frequently stained by his being called the EMPEROR IAPOLEON by foreign Journalists)—BameAnTE, we say, with the CROWN PRINCE, " does not wish for Peace ; and as Europe desires it, she ought to prepare to obtain it by means of arms I Let us hope that the wishes of the French people will unite with those of Europe." thus we see the glorious watchword of 0 , ECRAZEZ L'iNrAatoi echoed from every corner of Europe.-- PEACE WITH FRANCE !—ETERNAL WAR WITH B ONA . MITE! The Manifesto issued by the Allied Sovereigns from Frankfort, speaks a language apparently mild and conciliatory i were it not for the glorious declara tion with which it concludes, %,,re would tell the framers of it, that they were 4 , too meek anti gentle with their butchers." We trembled for the ultimate suc. cess of the Allied cause—the bare mention of the " Emperor NAPOLEON" frightened us, lest it was the intention of the magnanimous A LEXANDER, or the regenerated Sovereigns of Austria and Prussia, by giving the low.born upstart another" personal inter view, to compromise their individual dignities and honours, or excite the indignation of their subjects. • " He has the smell of sloOd about him, I" And all the perftithes of Arabia will not stfeeten it !" With exultation; therefore, we have to announce, that the Allies have crossed the Rhine, to put in exe cution their glorious projects. The fact is thus an nounced in a letter lircril Antwerp, dated the Gth inst. : g. The Allies passed the Rhine oh the 2d inst. h t Neuss, Uerdinger, and Rheinberg ; and we are here in daily fear of seeing the enemy at the gates. lam just come from the Exchange.

The motive= of the Seryltus Consultuni to thitt effect contains an appeal t 3 the Allied Powers. They, therefore Prid themselves called upon to piomitlglie anew, in the face of the world, the views wliich guide them in the present war ; the principles which form the basis of their conduct, their wishes, and their determination. "The Allied Powers do not make war upon France, but against that preponderance, haUghtily announced —against that preponderance which; to the misfor tune of Europe, and of France, the Emperor NAPO - has too long exercised beyond the limits ci his Empire. " Victory has conducted the Allied Armies to the banks of the Rhine. The first use which their Impe rial and Royal Majesties have made of victory, has been to offer peace M his Majesty the Emperor of the French. " An attitude strengthened by the accession of all the Sovereigns and Princes of Germany, has had no influence od the conditions of that peace. These conditions are founded on the independence of the Fiench empire, as well as on the independence of the i)thcr States of Europe._ The views of the Powers are just in their object, generous and liberal in their ap plzation, giving security to all, honourable to each. The Allied Sovereigns desire that France may be great, powerful, and happy ; because the French Power, in a state of greatness and strength, is one of the foundations of the social edifice of Europe. They wish. that France may be happy,—that French com merce may revive,--enat the arts, those blessings of peace, thay again flourish ; - because a great people can only be tranquil in proportion as it is happy. The Powers confirm to the French empire an extent of territory which France under her Kings never knew ; because a valiant nation does not fall from its rank , by having In its torn experienced reverses in an obsti nate and sanguinary contest, in which it has fought with its accustomed bravery. " But the Allied Powers also Wish to be free, tran quil, and happy, themselves. They desire a , state of peace, which, by a wise partition of strength—by a just equilibrium, may henceforwaid preserve their people from the numberless calamities which have overwhelmed Europe for the last twenty years. " The Allied Powers will not lay down their arms, until they have attained this great and benefici 11 re sult—this noble object of their efforts. They will not lay down their arms, until the political state of Eu rope be re.established anewuntil Immoveable prin ciples have resumed their rights over vain preten. , sions—until the sanctity of treaties shall have at last secured a real peace to Europe."' Extract of a Letter from an Offiezr *ith the Blitish Army in France " In front of Baynnne, November 24. ,‘ On the 21st we had a smart affair—,a strotig reconnaissance was made by SoULr in person, sur rounded by an ittimense Staff, and preceded by a strong body of troops.

General VANDE LEON of the Cavalry, 'had his arm shattered—Gene ral WiLsos had a ball through his month, and Sir JOHN HOPE had a horse killed under him." A repott prevails, that there is a disagreement be tween the Marquis of WELLINorow and General MINA, but we cannot answer for its correctness. It is said that this gallant Spaniard, who so lately distinguished himself at Sarragossa l and who has been so conspicu ous for his services during the whole progress of the war, in some incursions with his Guerilla patty, had Committed those depredations on the inhabitants of France which were inconsistent with the Public Orders and Proclamation, of the Generalissimo, and chat for such acts of disobedience he had been put under arrest. Captain Lord JAMES HAI', of the Ist Foot Gthirdg j proceeds immediately to Passages. To prevent a recurrence of a deficiency of forage iti Lotd WELLINGTON'S army, the Commissary-in- Chief. has taken the most active means.
