Men, distinguished by their names, temd by their services, have expressed their indignation at the disgrace, and the responsibility, which were going to on the city of l'eruc. On the other baud, the weak, :e n d those who have de sired the entrance of the allied troops, fear a re-action, and the yen- Vallee with which the people threaten them. I have time honour to send your Excellency the translation of two proclamations which I have just procured. All time Swiss battalions re:urn to their cantons, very much dissatisfied at the conduct which they ale loads/ to observe. Many would have preferred falling with l ire ; and they will be found well-disposed, if an opportunity is Aorded them, of repairing what they call an involuntary basener. Never hall people felt so strongly the benefits of the act of mediation, and the advantages of the tranquillity which the country has enjoyed these till years. (Signed) F. It OUVER. 21 inhabitants.
