An the troops are in motion in our deliartmenf, a large corps is going to march to the Lower Rhine I it will be commanded, they say, by the Marshal Duke of Ragusa. Several corps of cavalry are also depart ing to ascend the Rhine. Every thing chews that a considerable force wilt be assembled in Alsace. A corps of Russians and Austrians, said to Je com manded by General Tolstoy and Count Colloredo, arrived come days ago in the grand duchy of Baden. They are the troops which were before Dresden.— , They have made a shew of passing the Rhine in our neighbOurhood, but it was soon evident that they only wanted to amuse our troops, and prevent their) from going to other points. The enemy's corps has since taken the road to Rastadt, and continues to ascend the Rhine. UPPER RHINE, JANUARY 2. _ . The enemy appears to. hesitate, since he sees we are prepared to receive him. On our side, our con f4denciincreases with the continual augmentation of our forces. Troops of every kind are arriving.in the departments, Vosges, Jura, and Doubs. It is said, that in a few days a formidable army will be assembled at Langres, to act against the Allies.

NANCY,• JANUARY R The enemy have committed every kind of excess wherever they have conic in France, Itnd have shewn the inhabitants what faith is due to their promises of moderation. Indignation, the desire of revenge, and the necessitrof preventing odious extortions, have to doubled in every part the energy, the patriotism, end the courage, sts natural to the French. At St-Croix, in particular, every thing was plan derad and ravaged, but when our regiments had driven the enemy to a quarter of a league distance from the place, the inhabitants, armed with forks, scythes, &c. came in crowds to second our brave dragoons, who, encouraged at this sight, fell on the enemy with fresh courage, and completed his defeat.

It was the sacred territory of Geneva which afforded an asylum to VOLTAIRIP, Rousseau, and all the eze.. crable Phi/are/shirts; whose impious tenetshave deluged the world with blood for nearly half a century. Ge. neva gave birth to the most conspicuous of the heroes who figured during the French RevoluOn. It was the focus from which all the schemes for regenerating mankind ;sated, and yet so' little relish have the pre. sent inhabitants for the Emperor' of the Philosophers, the idol, who was formed and fashioned out of real Geneva materials, that they take the earliest oppor tunity of bidding his garrison leave the town, and of opt riirsg the gates to his enemies.

They carried theft impudente farther—a they constituted themselves into.a b?dy, and assumed au thority !" How infamous ! thus to shake off the alle giance of their lawful Sovereign ! _ _ After this and similar displays of the affection which the inhabitants of the whole of Europe have for BONAPARTE and his Government, how can the Allies perform their contract with him, and give him an extent of territory which France, under her kings, never knew ? Hii additional territories .must he discovered by some future circumnavigator 3 there is not a portion of the habitable globe (Paris except. ed) where the inhabitants would keep him meaty four hours as their sovereign. Every arrival of Paris Papers furnishes -fresh evi dence of the powerful effects produced on the minds of the French People by the moderate and well timed Addresses of the Allies. Every line now pub !bilked in the French limas piocLiims the !Alarm and dread excited in the breast of the Usurper and his associates in ambition and crimes. The Procla. mation of SWIM, one of the Extraordinary Commis sioners, is exactly of the same whining tone with the Maternal efulietu of NAPOLEON, which have lately hlg raced the columns of the ititoniteur. How humane ! how considerate ! has the French Ritter become, suddenly. He is now the most mo derate and pacific potentate upon earth !—be will (such are his feelings as a Monarch and a Father) submit to all the terms proposea by the Allies, pre ferring the happiness of his people to glory dearly bought ! He is, we are told, convinced that peace is necessary to the stability of thrones and of families : and the man who used to stile himself the umpire who held in hie hand: the fate of Nation:, now condescends to proclaim that the question is no longer to, recover the conquests he had made In this Proclamation we are told of BONAPARTIn intention to put himself at the head of his army ! What army ? - Alas for the hopes of the humane and paternal NapoteoW, the greater part of the French army lies buried and unburied on the soi: of Russia— the remainder are safely lodged in the prisons of the Allies. The army to be commanded by BONAPARTE, and which is to punish the Allies for dazing to pollute the French soil with..their unhallowed feet, is yet to be created. He has reviewed about 18,000 men at Paris (if we may believe the ilmitair), and this appears to :be the only force of which he can yet bout. All the rest is yet in prospect but the levy as matte is imme• diately to be carried into execution in the Depart ments of Vosges, of the Upper Saone, of Jura, Doubs, and Mont Blanc. All, this must be very consoling to the ldren of NAPOLEON. So late as the .sth instant BONAPARTE remained at Paris, and since his return (from which it may be in. ferred he had been absent) was incessantly occupied with all the branches of the civil and military admi nistration. " Happily," says The Journal de PEntisire t " his health is very excellent, and permits him to give himself up to that indetatigabreactivity, which seems to grow with circumstances." An army of reserve of the Interior was immediately to be rotated at Sois sons, Meaux, Nogent, Troyes, and Lyons, to be corn posed of national guards and some military divisions formed in the deparments ; and another army of ie serve of national guards, for Thoulouse and Bour deaux. These troops were to . return to their homes and be disbanded, as soon as the. territorrshould be cleared of the enemy. It is not true that M. CHABANES, who Came lately from France on a to:-disant mission to invite the &AMMONS, has returned to that country. We can state, however, that if it was the intention of M. ciIABANES or of his uncle, Monsieur TALLEYRAND, to decoy any of the BOURBON PRINCES * by s coup do main, into France, they have been miserably disappointed. It is true that sanguine expectations are entertained by the illustrious Emigres in London, of a BOURBON itevolutiott in France, but they are not so weak as to trust the representations of any Individual of the rank of M. CHABANES. • The Count de GRASIMONT, it is now understood, was the bearer of the sentiments of the Marquis of WELLINGTON upon the dispositions of the French people—he has now returned to the Peninsula, and his next arrival in London, it is expected, will be the signal for the departure of the Duc de BERRI, or his illustrious Parent, for the South of France. We un derstand that they have wisely determined not to take a single Emigrant Officer with them to the Conti nent, in the first instance. This h highly judicious ; for three-fousths of them at least are secretly in the pay of BONAPARTE, and the French Nitwits know it. M. CHABANIS, above alluded to, has bad several interviews with the Prince DE Como., Mos:sumo, and the Duc DR Bantu, but he has not been admitted to an *audience of Louis XVIII. His royal brother, Mcormautt, is at present bed-rid from severs indispo.

A letter from Colmar, just arrived, says, gi We have this moment 'received news by an express, that the garrison of Huningen has made a vigorous sally; that the Frehch have overturned everything; that the cannon of the fort made great ravages in the enerseats ranks ; that our cavalry have cut off his com munications ; that his pontoons and boats on the Rhine are in the hands of the French ; and that a • large corps is surrounded, and cannot repass the Rhine. The garrison of Huningen having threatened to fire on the town of Basle, unless the inhabitants destroyed the bridge, they have obeyed this order. The enemy, who are in want of every thing, make enormous requisitions of money, - corn, cattle, &c. which they send in haste to Switzerland. All is tran quil on the Lower Rhine." BOIS LE-DUC, DECEMBER 21: The Commandant of our citadel had provisions oily for one month. He has required a supply front the town, and is now furnished for six months.

We hate always - in sight a squadron of IS Men of war, which are said- to have troops on board. Our garrison consists of above 8000 men, and has provisions for more than a year. The works which have been raised, since 1809, at `Flushing, at Tiver, and Ramskens, can hardly be conceived : they have cost, lodeed, mane millions. If the English venture to , land they will lose their army, as in 1809, and Will fail in their attack on our fortresses.
