Every one would see him, speak to him, and in his arms and on Lis breast, gave way to the sensation which with irresistable force occupied all minds. With no less high feelings did • the Prince reply to this vent ot faithfid German hearts. National Guards and Citizens of all con ditions and religions, on foot and on horseback. formed in a motley mixture the e:ose of this procession.

" The Minister Secretary of State" (Signed) - - Pants, Nov. 27.--For nearly a month, the enemy has been upon onr frontiers, without daring to pass them ; the imposing attitude of our invincible phalaexes, the devotion and ardour of all the male inhabitants con tamed in our provinces of the Rhine. has been sufficient to restrain their audacity and dissipate their foolish hopes. But the danger is not passed. This generous movement must be communicated to all parts of France ; the fire of patriotism must animate all souls. - When the theatre of war was still far front our country. When the cannon thundered only ou a foreign land, ' e might quietly cortemplate those terrible sports of Mars ;we might lull ourselves in a pleasing security. But now it is no longer time to slumber, we must no longer talk, we must act, we neat chew ourselves worthy of those memorable and difficult periods when the liberty of France was in danger. When the enemy was posted twenty years ago in the plains of Champaigne, and threatened vs with impending destruction, all France, indignant, arose spontaneously, and the enemy retired precipitately to his frontiers, and for whom was this movement made ?—What had we to hope for on returning ta our homes ? Anarchy, and all its disorders awaited us. Yet France preferred honour to every danger. She chose rather to hill into the chains of her domestic tyrants than into those of strangers. She submitted to the fury of anarchy rather than to the shame of servitude ; and now that -all parts of the social order are reconstituted, now that the enemy can bring as only slavery or anarchy. shall we not fly to the combat ?—shall we not be ready to make the greatest saarifices?— Who can stiffer himself to he seduced by insidious promises, by vain and fallacious proclamations ?—The enemy boasts the discipline of . 1 his armies , _ and his principles of moderation and disinterestedness. ! Can you believe, that should he penetrate into our provinces, be will long retain kis pretended discipline, or keep his promises? Certainty the conquest of so many flourishing cities, of so many rich countries, cannot be achieved without fighting, and then t• what an excess of disorders will not our country be given up ? What plundering, what slaughter, what conflagration ! Let us imatine fur a moment the enemy at our gates. See the wooleit tremblieg, distracted, flying ; the old men, young virgins. anti children obliged to quit their paternal roof, carrying with them some melancholy temains of their fortune, seeking in the depths of the woods, in the most impenetrable retreats, an asylum from the furies of the soldiery. See every where tumult and agitation. Ali! what discipline can you expect from those hordes of Cos sacks, who have no pay but what they can carry nit from inhabitants . of cities and the country who. strangers to civilization, to arts, violets, and letters, can esteem nothing which we esteeme-erespect (Vie Graml lirit'lltaki, • , f , v. • •,. 4,11*.- ''''.. al' v.- • • % -4, -___,.. • , • .1:-.
