The undersigned has just riceived orders from tteirtourti, to make the following Declaration to his Zitteltinef the Lanclammap of Switzerland : *Switzerland had for many ages enjoyed an inde pendence, fortunate for herself, useful to her neigh bours, and necessary to the maintenance - of a politi cal equilibrium. Those scourges of the French Re volution, the wars which for twenty years have sapped to the very foundations the prosperity of all the States qfgprepe, had not spared Switzerland. -Agieited in her interior, enfeebled by the vain ef raft to escape frOrn ihe baneful influence of a devas tating torrent, Switzerland saw herself deprived, by little and little, of these bulwarks essential to the pre servation of her independence, by France, who called herself her friend. The Emperor NapoleOn ended by establishing upon the ruins of the Swiss Federation, stud tinder a tide till then unknown, a 'direct perms'. nent influence incompatible with the liberty of the Republic ; that ancient liberty, so respected by all the Powers of Etonpe, ald' which was the guarantee of the ties of friendship which Switzerland had con tinued to preserve with them even to the epoch of her s'ufijectien, and which is tfie Principal condition of the neutrality of a state. The principles_ tibiah animate the Allied Sove reigns id the present war are well known. Every nation K hich has not lost the remembrance of its in- dependence ought to avow them. These Powers de-' SwitierLind should recover, togethe'r Witt( ",urope, the,enjoyntent of thins first right of every Ind with her ancient fioniiers the means of sustaining this right.

These Armies / whose Commanders affect such moderation in their language, but whose conduct is so violent, and whose pretensions are so haughty, ate preparing to invade our frontiers ; and our enemies already flatter themselves with the hope of making France suffer the fate of Poland, and of degrading it to the lowest state of a conquered nation. Frenchmen ! the situation in which you are at this moment placed, reSeMiligt i 4 fin respect the ordinary situation of a people threatened by-the ambition of its neighbours. Listen to the trpth—Jou are worthy of hearing it. Our enemies, so - often humbled by our victories, so often reduced to solicit peace from the generosity of the victor, will come among us with their hearts cankered with resentment ; and they will dictate laws to you with fire and sword in their hinds. But they know that no coalition ever triumphed over a great people, unless that people, deluk,led by false promises, and a feigned moderation, became it self accessary to its own ruin, and awaited in criminal inactivity the triumph of its enema. What is, then, the object of those insidious procla mations, which precede the march of their armies, and on which they place still mote dependence than on their strength and their courage ? Their object is, to divide in order to weaken you, to unman your arms, to annihilate in your souls the love of your country, to render you insensible to national honour, to fashion you beforehand to in sults, to ill treatment, and to the humiliation of a foreign yoke. They make war, say they, only on your Emperor. What an insult to a generous nation ! but at the same time what perfidy ! Frenchmen I they think you mean enough to for sake the Head whom you have chosen, whose power. ful voice imposed silence on the sanguinary passions 'and who has placed your properties under the safe guard of the laws. They believe you insensate enough not to guess their motives. Separated from your Government, you would become an easy prey to them : they dread thainoment, wheu your Emperor, collecting with new energy the force of the nation, shall rekindle the thunderhOlts of Austerlitz and Muengo. Compare to these ignominious proposals the mag i rutnimous conduct of your Emperor. Twice victory conducted him to Vienna—twice, in the centre of the Austrian Monarchy, he found himself the arbiter ut the destiny of the House of Hapsburg : did he mr propose to these people to forsake their Sovereign No; a peace, honourable for threfiemies, *as the, first fruit of his victories ; and these same enemies. who hare not yet touched.upop our frontiers, dare to offer us such an insult ! Irk to Frenchmen they .„.. propose treason !. It is on our 'dishonour they fouilui their hopes ! But who is there among us th4t can be ignorant of the fate that threatens him, if they could accomplish their designs ? Are not all the French liable to a joint responsibility for all the events which during these last twenty years have followed each othsr in such a rapid succession ? Let us pass over the acts of violence, the pillage, - the devastation, which attend the progress of those barbarous hordes, issuing like tempests from the ca verns of the North. But what class of society would be secure from an odious inquisition, and from the vengeance of the conqueror? What would be the condition of those who have acquired national property, whose tides are inter.' woven with the existence of the government ? What would become of all the citizens who have loved and served their country. and mho_ in solemn addresses have manifested their attachment to the imperial dynasty ? What would be the lot of the public functionaries, and of all those whom confidence in the government &tillought back to their homes, and who owe to their government, which has held out to them a help. ins hand, love and fidelity ? The answer is easy : the laws would be no longer' refeected, the subversion of fortunes would be uni versal, foreign agents would dispose of the lives and properties of the citizens. Let us figure to ourselves the horrors of the con vulsions which would arise from such a state of 4hings. The French people would be placed between infasuy and despair; it would no longer exist to ine' ce and glory. fhsvpublic monuments would be mutilated. The *assi!rpieces of which we possess would fall into Minds of barbarians; they would strip our mu seums of those sublime productions of genius, the fruits of our victories, and objects of eternal jealousy to our enemies. frenchmen, let these truths be ev er present to your minds ; animated by the remembra nce of the intim* glory, !ndpnid by that love of your native coupeff which engenders prodigies, you will repel criminalls; sinit4iOn, you will prokt your wives and your ,clren against the insults of a licentious soldiery, Teo will'sethire'Your properties wlich arit.thieatenCs. 013 r enemies w ill find In t abcOf.bsan enemy.

' 0 Colmar, Dec.ll4, 1811, 7 o'clock, evening. a Prince, I have had at length the good fortune to fall in with the corps of partisans commanded by the Austrian General Scheibler, who had sent yesterday into Colmar, a party of 60 horse, an brim before the arrival of the van of the sth corps. The brigade of dragoons, commanded by General Montlegier, re ceived orders to advance towards . St. - Croix, where the enemy had 2,000 horse, and overthrew them, notwithganding their obstinate resistance. The 2d, 6th, and 11th regiments of dragoons every where broke through the enemy's corps, which was twice as numerous ; they sabred 900 Bavarian Light Horse, Austriag Hussars Szeckler Hussars, and of Hesse Homburg, and gave a severe lesson to two regiments of Cossacks. 44 The enemy left 300 dead on the field of battle. The brigade of Montlegier took I 30 horses, and made 230 prisoners, of whom 60 are Cossacks, including a Colonel of Cossacks, M. Petro Aurazin, dangerously wounded; also a Lieutenant• Colonel of the Hussars of Hesse Homburg, named d'Arnstein, likewise wounded. " The energy of the soldiers of the sth corps . has been augmented, if possible, by the devotion of the inhabitants of the Upper Rhine, and of all the Magis trates. The Count de la Vieuville, and the Mayor of Colmar, set the example. All the inhabitants, animated with the greatest zeal for the Emperor and the defence of their country, loudly dery Ind arms against the enemies of our august Sovereign and of - , ur country. We have been received on the Upper Rhine with an enthusiasm which doubles the energy of the troops. " The Colonel of the Cossacks whom we have taken prisoner, has received a title in Russia, and two vil lages as a re:ompense, and commands tA!n regiments of Cossacks, of Elmousin and Howren. He has been treated with respect by the dragoons who took him. 44 I am proud, my Prince, of commanding the sth corps of cavalry which his klajesty has deigned to ! confide to me. I shall employ every possible means to hang-npon the f!anps of this army; and to now what it intends to do. " We have to regret the loss of 10 killed, but not one officer. Captain Cotter, of the 6th regiment of dragoons, 2 officers of a detachment of the 22d, and 60 subalterns and dragoons, have been wounded. • (Signed) " Count MILHAon.

PARIS, DECEMBER 29. REPQRT FROM • GRNERAL COUNT MILIIAUD TO THE PRINOU MAJOR-GENRRAI,. • Co!mar, Dee. 26, 1813, at noon. Stn—S'nce the action at St. Croix, in which the brigade of dragoons under General Montlegier be have 4 so gallantly, the enemy has received numerous reinforcements. Yesterday General Hardeir, who calls himself Commander of the Austro-Bavarian van-guard, arrived at Ensisheim with six thousand foot, three thousand horse, and six pieces of cannon. From Basle they have brought in waggons a number of Infantry, wbo have passed by Ilattenheim. A good peasant, worthy of credit, makes their force 12,000 foot, and 6000 horse cannot tell the number of cannon. " The division of General rive has relieved, at St. Croix, the sth division of heavy cavalry of the sth corps. I keep in reserve the division of General L'Heritier, with • brigade of infantry. I have com missioned General Dermoncourt to observe the route along the Rhine from Huninguen to New Brisach. " lam well seconded by the excellent Prefect, count de laYieuville, by the Mayor of Colmar, and by all the Civil Authorities. a , The enemy's parties committed dreadful excesses before our arrival at St. Croix, and in other villages. The indignation of the people is extreme. When I have received the names of the officers and soldiers, of the brigade of Montlegier, who have the most dis tinguished themselves, I shall beg your 1 3 .1:,), nes, solicit rewards for these brave men. si The Colonel of the Cossacks, and the Colonel of the Austrian Hussars, are both dead of their wounds.
