VA•Rts, ithy 20.--,—Much is said about the de sertions from : our .troops in the North to 'the fo. feigric . r. These reports ate all false and fabrica tions. in the months of April and May there Live been no other deserters besides those whose names and rank we have mentioned, according to the Correspondence front 11.1aubenge (see Moniteur of the 12i: May), only the three Officers whose names foilew ; it will be seen that they were per sons whose relations were attached to Count Lille. These deserters havebeen declared outlaws, condemned to death, and their effects sequestrated.

It contains a pr.ver, that relief may be afforded to some young men, who think they have strength enough to carry arms, but Who are kept hack by their pa rents, or prevented by their situation from in tittle ing this noble spirit." . [Then follows the answer, signed by Colonel Schoeler, in absence of the Minister of War, in which he recommends these youths to conform to the Decree of the 15th April.] This Moniteur contains the Projet of the German Constitution, as drawn up by Baron Humboldt, and extracted from the Arnu Gazette. It consists of 14 Articles, which are not •of pressing im portance, .and will be given to-morrow. VALeNctertses, MAY 15.

In addition to the Italian Gazettes, by a private letter from SwitZerland, dated the 10th inst. we learn, from a most respectable authority, that an authentic Account had, arrived there that day of the last Battles between the Austrians and MURAT'S troops, which states, that the former stood firmly on the first, and second dayS of the Battles, and on the third were completely -vidto lions. Indeed we have been assured that Govern ment received an ()Eclat confirin3tion to that cflect this day. We have French. Papers of. Sunday last, from which we have extracted the most interesting articles. BUONAPARTE has formidable auxiliat ies— eight thousand Jews are armed for his support in Alsace ! With Jews for Soldiers and Turks fOr Allies, his cause seems worthily supported ! Theoperations for inundating the Country, too, are said to be nearly completed .! The Morning Chronicle and Lord GREY still af fect to doubt the truth of our statement respect ing the Insurrection in La Vendee—we therefore insert for their perusal another official __confession of it front the Monitcur. It follows NANTES, AlAv - 17.—The Prefect of this De partment has just published the following Pro, clautation " Inhabitants of the Left Bank of the Loire, " The odious impostures with which it is attempted to lead you astray, are every day proved to be falsehoods. " Abused by individuals 'whom you only know by the mis fortunes which they have brought nponyou; be6me unin tentionally the instruments of their criminal ambition, you hare fur some days rejected the paternal counsels of the Ad ministration ;—you seem to have been afraid of the truth , . instead of obeying the auth en ti c ac t s of Government, you bare preferred absurd news, obscurely fabricated by men who were obliged to confound your reason, iR order to conceal the abyss into which they wish to drag yon. t‘ What now remains of so many unfavom able predictions? Has the Government extinguished your religion and your in terests ? Has it increased your contributions ? Has it not, on the contrary, removed the perception of the Droits Reanis-L -all the odious inquisitorial forms which were execrated by the public opinion ? Against whom do they, wish to arm you ? " In what respect has your situation changed since the re turn of the Emperor ? What new sacrifices have beet) impos2 ed upon you ? Take care, good countrymen ! letist you soon see that you have anew exposed your country to the horrors of civil war—and that for the interests of some families who re gret a regime which would have allowed them to trampl e you under foot with impunity, and to Make you serfs by renewing feudal rights and privileges ? Nosv,.as a last resource, they attempt to calumniate by anticipation. the conduct of those troops who may be called in to re-establish order;—they excite you to resistance—they would, wish to compromise you in such a way as even to ex clude you from the possibility of repentance. You will escape this new snare —you know that military discipline is ekact and rigorous, that General Officers will punish in an exemplary way every attempt against the security of per sons and property. Reject then their perfidious. uggestions. " If any individuals have cause for, fear, it is those who have deceived you—who still deceive you -7—who, keeping them selves at a distance, precipitate you into dangers:—they are as guilty towards you as towards the Government; it is your injury, as well as its own, that the laws are to punish. " As for you, good countrymen, remain quiet under the protection of the Laws, under the priAecting shield of the Administration;—cultivate your fields in peace, pay .your contributions faithfully. I promise you safety —support-- forgiveness of injuries—and all the guarantees that a wise and paternal Government can offer. • (Signed) " Baron BONNAIRE,' • " Prefect of the Loire-Inferieure. " Nantes, March 16, 1915." A series of the Journal de Frankfort to the 18th, arrivetl this morning, Extracts from whichpre• cede this notice. Among other matters there is,a copy of a better from the Duke of RAGUSA, in answer to an Overture made to him on the part of the Rebel Leader by CAULTNCOURT, in which, after rejecting the traitorous proposition with scorn and indignation, and justifying his pa- . . triode conduct at the close of the last canipaign, the gallant Marshal thus concludes, in a tone of loyalty and honour Which . is enough (and we re joice to say it), to redeem the French Name from the obloquy With which the treachery and per tly of too many Frenchmen have lately over whelmed it :--, " From- that moment France has recognised in Loitis XVIII. her father, her saviour.

You see; Sir, by this open, declara tion of my principles, whether Btionaparte can still think of _seducing me. Tell the assassin of the Duke d'Engbein and of Pichegru, tell the dis turber of all Europe, tell him who has plunged France into blood and tears, tell the violator of the rights of nations and of all treaties, tell the perjurer, the most perfidious and the' most guilty of men, that the oath which I have taken to my King, will be sealed in a few days with the. blood of the traitors 5 thai henceforward there is nothing in common be tween Inc and the perseentor.of my country; that my own arm shall soon carry the standard of the Lily even to the capital ; that my life is hence forward consecrated' to rallying round the White Flag, the faithful subjects, and the subjects ‘vho have been led astray. Tell him front toe, tell him tion. fication. in the name of all Europ'e, that the blood shed by the assassins is goiug to be visited upon their own beads, and that the chty of:justice is at hand. (%;ig-nr(t) (Journal de Frath'e,r6rt, :11 , ty 16.) .MARMONT." The finale of Mr. Mua.\- - c, as wilt be seen from Italian Papers, approaches in the shape we anti cipated—the victories of this Gentleman (we beg pardon for misusing the term) are leading him _exactly to the exaltation we supposed, namely, to flight or incarceration' What an example to Bt o- NAPARTE does the fate of his old faithless friend afford ? It is but the prelude to his own fall, if lie does not avert it by timely repentance. The Morning Chronicle has a report this day as senseless as false, viz. that the Duke of WE has arrived in town. As if his Grace would be absent from, his army at this critical and momentous juncture. We wonder that it did not add that his "army is incog. at Knights bridge:' We would advise BUONAPARTE to discontinue the 'fortifications on Montmartre, as we under stand it is the intention of the Duke of WEL LINGTON that his Army should enter Paris 'on the other side The House of Peers last night sanctioned the War against 13troNAPARTE by a great majority, the votes being 156 to 44. The - Earl of LIVERPOOL took a most candid view of the whole - subject in proposing this momentous vote, first de , mOnstrating the justice, and, secondly, the ne cessity of again resorting to Arms as the Only security for Europe against the insatiable am bition and 'perfidious character of the Rtbei Authority. Earl GREY, on the other hand, boured hard to make "_the worse appear the bet` ter reason," and among many specious. argu ments and much real Whiggish assertion in the cause of the ,Enemy, intermingled not a few paradoxes —one of which was, that in ternal . coMmfitionS (such , as the insurreel-. tion in La Vendee) always strengthened the' bands of a - Governnent, and rendered it Moee capable of external defence !
