VIE NATIONAL REGISTER. fit:tided by two divisions of reserve, of which the right is upon 11 , 10 t, and the tuft upon the at my of the Mo selle. The troops of the army of the Moselle, commanded by Lieutenan!-Genet al Gerard, ate every where in motion . , to take po , itions in frot,t of Thh,nville and Longwy, con neetitn, themselves with the a r m y of the Rhine by Bitche. Liru•et ant-Generals Lanusse, Pescheux, Wichery, iJe Bour allf•IM Morin, :'ml Jacquinot, are employed in this army. We are unacquainted with the dispositions of the army of the Arden' es ; we only know that Lieutenant-General Van idamme extra ends it ; that the fottresses of the Meuse arc mantled with Nati , nal Guards, that they are proceeding with activity to fottify the defiles of the Argone ; that the towns Alf Laon, Soissons, Rheims, Chalons, Vitry, and Langres, sve put into a state of defence ; and that a numerous artillery is either already planted in battery, or on its way to those places. It appenr: that the army of the Alps is already very strong in front of Chamherv. The three first battalions of the regiments are in line and complete ; but the 4th and Gth are not yet so. We expect numerous convoys of troops from the interior, and we hope that the inhabitants of Normanoy, Bretagne, Poitou, Au vergne, and all the provinces not on the frontiers, will hasten to send us the oid soldiers that are intended to complete those battalions, and to double our army. The regiments of cavalry, which a month ago had not more than Soo horses, have been rapidly augmented by numerous levies raised with success. They will soon he complete. The preparations are every where proceeding with prodigi .ous activity. Government must be at an enormous expense.

PROCLAMATION. Poldiers of the Saxon Corps—Tcrrilile crime.; have been committed in your ranks. I had with confidence fixed Tiiy quarters among you, when l was attacked by a troop of assazsins rind rebels, who, refusing to obey their Officers, persisted for three days in a criminal mutiny. Soldiers, you would he dishonoured in the eyes of ail Europe, your national honour would be for ever lost, if I did not render you the testimony that you have on this occasion expressed in a sti king manner, the indignation which was excited in you by a licentious soldiery, which, in refusing to obey its Officers, violated the first duty of a soldier. Bv the confidence you place in me, you have counted on the possession of the right which honour and the laws of war give you. You have not deceived yourEelve , . The re giment of grenadiers has ceased to exist. The standard which it disgraced has been burnt, and the sword of justice has fallen on the guilty. Soldiers I continue to attend to the yoke of your office's. Their duty is not only to lead you into battle, but also to watch for the preservation of your honour, and your , welfare. I cannot, therefore, better chew you my approba tior, or bet . er save t our character from disgrace, than by contintwog to deliver to the sem-6hy of the laws the promo ters of insubordination, and their accomplices, if they should still dare, by their crime s , to tarn i s h vo U r m ilit ar y g . fory.
