NitissEl4, MAY 15.--Some manufacturing can tons in the departments of Jemappe and of the Sombre and Meuse were ceded by the Treaty of raris:toFrance, to the great regret of the Belgians. Ail the men in these cantons able to bear arms being - now called upon to march for the Government of Buonaparte, they 'leave their homes in crowds, and seek an asylum from tyranny among their former countrymen. They alirtn that in several plates there are none but old men, woolen, and children. A strong Austrian army is,advancing from Alexandila to the frontiers of Dauphiny. The riedmontese under Gen. Latour are joined to this army; The movements of the French corps in the en virons of Geneva had caused some uneasiness there, which has been removed by an order of the day from the Commissioner Dumolard, ordering the 22 Cantons of the Swiss Confederation to be ;cspected. BASLE:, MA7 6.—On the2Bth ult. French Com missioners at Allkirch assembled the young men of that and many neighbouring communes., and made speeches to them, requiring them to march. They were heard without interruption,' but no body would march. They called the Gendarmes to their aid, but these were pelted with stones and driven away. The zeal of the people of Al sace seems to have cooled a little since. they are called on' for money and recruits. Report states that an Austrian General who is come to Zurich has required permission for a nu merous division of the Allied At my to pass through Switzerland. Our papers give another object to the mission of Baron Steigentesch. PRAGI'E, MAN , 6.—By private letters we have the news, the authenticity of which we cannot, however, vouch for, that the Turks have totally destroyed the city of Bucharest. , FLANDERS MAIL 1.2 Mx, A imarfs• 11,1,1 r %CPS rirenlar letters to th e principai‘Courts eueope. The declaration of the 10th of March had answered them beforehand. Thinking to produce an effect upon a country of small extent bordering upon France, and which he supposed to be disunited and devoid of energy, he has applied to Switze-r -_land. One of his agents demanded a free pas sage to acquit himself of his ,mission to the Diet of the Confederation. He was refused. He con. tented himself with conveying to the Cnincil of the Nation the dispatches of which he wits the bearer. The same language of imposture was re 7 nra•rked in if. The indignation was general, the agreement unanimous, the answer prompt, and worthy of an independent people.—This is doubt- less a great example, and the Swiss, heneefor united among. themselves, and attached to the general system of Europe, will reap the fruits of tt conduct so 'worthy of praise. The following is the answer of the President of the Diet to the Duke of Vicenza : Zurich, April 20. The eorruttinication which his Excellency the Duke of Vi cenza addressed to the Undersigned on the 4th of April, and which reached Zurich o❑ the 16th, has been laid before the bict. When France, at pence within itself, shall have recovered her happiness under a stable government generally recognized In Europe, the sincerest wish of Switzerland will be fulfilled. Faithful to their principles, and to honour, of which -tht conduct ct die Swiss soldiers t ecallcd to their country fur ashes a fresh proof, the Cantons have not been able to divest themselves of a lively uneasiness on account a the late events ad their probable coo , ;;:quences. To secure its dearest in- terests, its independence, and its internal tranquillity against every attack, the Confederation has felt that it ought to take measures of precaution and safety. Several changes have talten place in its constitution ; ancient frontiers hare been restored to it, with a more favourable demarcation. From these circumstances, and the new relations in which it placed, there result obligations of hononr, which gratitude and cveo the interest of its political existence command it to It cannot, therefore, by recognizing the existing Go vernment in France, follow a systeai opposite to that of all t':e Powers of Europe. 'That loyalty and fidelity which have dic:atcd its conduct will continue to regulate it for the future. Such are the explanations to which the Undersigned must consne himself, and which he concludes by begging his Ex cellency the Duke of Vicenza to accept the assurances of his high consideration. The BUIWOMASTEr, of the Cauto n of Z . URICH, President of the :Swiss Diet T he Dia assfivt,led on the . Ist of tliN m o a th, to iicar the reports , read which were just received froth 411 r.

'it was only aristveresl by being fired upon. It in stantly returned the hie, and the two parties cons tinued to fire for an hour and a half in the dark, tilt at last the French evacuated the wood. At the repOrt of the musketSy, inhabitants of the neighbourhood assembled and took up arms. This affair, in which we had not one man woand ed, does honour to the Argoviana and Vaudois. Since the 30th of April the Swiss head-quarters 'bay° been transferred to Morat. It is affirmed that the General in Chief intends to form three camps at Yverdun, at Arburg, and at .Liestal. It was also said that the half of the second contin gent would he put in motion ; so, that, with the regiments returned from France, we should have on foot an army of 48,000 men. •• As the Frenal continue to augment their forti fications on the side of Basle, batteries are to be erected there on the side of St. John's gate. GHENT, May . 12:—The' Journal Universe, of this date, contains, under the head elf,Cirbent, May 9, a report upon the state of France, made to the King in Council by Viscount de Chateaubriand, Minister Plenipotentiary from his Most Christian Majesty to the Court of Sweden. This report fills 16 columns of the Journal and Supplement. It iS, divided into heads. 1 Acts and decrees for the interior. 2. Exterior. 3. R e s proaches made to tke Royal Government. 4. Spirit of the Government. This report begins thus: " Sire—The only misfortune which still threa tened Europe, after so many miseries, has come to pass. The Sovereigns, your august Allies, be lieved that they could with impunity be magna nimous towards a man who knows neither the value of generous - conduct, nor the religious ob servance of treaties. These are the errors which proceed from elevation of character : an up right soul judges but ill of meanness and 'artifice .;" and the saviour of Paris could not comprehend the destroyer of Moscow. • " Buonaparte, placed by a strange fatality be tween the coasts of France and Italy; has 'come like Genserie, whither the anger of God called him. The hope of all that had committed, and of all that meditated a crime, be came—he succeeded. Men loaded with your gifts, their breasts cover ed with yoisr orders, kissed in the morning the royal hand, which in the evening they betrayed. Rebellions subjects, had Frenchmen, faithless knights, while the oaths they had taken to you had scateely expired on their lips, they went with the Lilly on*their breast to swear, as I may say, a perjury to him who so often declared himself &- traitor, a felon, and disloyal." The:conclusion is as foll o w s " One would say, that Buonapartc, the sport of all that surrounds• him, takes counsel only of the moment—a si4ve, to that destiny ‘vhish he 'formerly appeared to command. Licentioosness reigns at Paris, anarchy in the provinces, the civil and military authorities combat each other. Here the people . threaten to burn the chateaus, and flag, and cry Live leßoi! but, in the midst of these disorders, time advances, and events hasten to their developement. All Europe is arrived on the frontiers of France —every people has taken • its part in this army of nations—they wait but for the last signal. What will the author of so many calamities do ? If he quits Palk, will Faris remain tranquil ? If he dues not join his soldiers, swill his soldiers fight without bins ? Success may change his fortune ? No ; a Swiss would hardly retard his fall. Can he, besides, expect success ? Buonaparte is already vanquished in Murat. An appeal has been made to the passions of the people of Italy, and those 'people have replied by a cry of loyalty. l'eay the French imitate their example ; may they abandon the scourge of the earth to the justice of Heaven. Alt, Sire, letsus hopco th a t, disarmed by the prayers of the sun of St. Louis, the God of battles may spare the blood of our, un-; happy country. You will preserve to France, -- for her happiness, the remains of that blood which she has too much lavished for • her glory. The moment approaches when your Majesty will reap the fruit of your virtues and your sacrifices— when, under the shade of the white flag, the- na tion will at length enjoy that repose after Which they" sigh, and which they have so dearly earned." Bausser.s, MAY 15.—The Cures of Paris, eager to give an example of the fidel % i v t o y i ( l j u n e ly t e o x o c i e l p r law ful hav e refused (t ted), to take the oath t o t h e Usurper. The go o d e ff ect this has had on the people may be imagined. The French troops about Conde„ala n b ew s e and Valenciennes have made a movement' towards on the froatiers of W est Philippeville a n d Gi ver, Flanders : the French seem to be alarmed, having broken down the bridges over all the rivers (livid ing the two countries. The insurrections against Murat extend to the gates of Naples. The army is a quiet spectator of these disorders. MIEN CII PA PERS. PARIS, MAY 15.—The works on Montmartre, those On Menil-Montant, at St. Chaumont, Belle ville, and the heights of Charonne, arc going oil with activity. This day there are 1800 work men employed. It appears that particular circum stances have thwarted the arrangements Made for the purpose of increasing their number : to-mor row, however, it will be augmented. Muns. Girhrd, Inspector-General of bridges, &c.- has this day caused the works for the Cai►al of St. Dennis to be commenced, to which part.of the water of the Canal de I . (Eurcq is to be contri - buted, for comniunicqtion . with the town of St. Dennis, which will be COVERED by (7/Z ii/UndUtio72. It is presumed that by the:loth June these works will be awned.—Trains of artillery are in motion in all direetions.—(Monileur.)

Baron Louis, Et. Minister of Finance, arrived at Gheut on the 10th inst. It is said that the EMperor has given orders to dismantle 20 ships of the line, which will afford 1500 pieces of cannon for land service. PARIS, iIjAY 1 6.—1 n the evening of the day be. fore yesterday, about eleven o'clock, four indivi duals, in the Rite de la Loi, began to throw into the shops a pamphlet, entitled, Cries Alarm.— ln this writing, full of horrible provocations, there is contained an undisguised propOsal to as sassinate the Emperor. „Two of these individuals were seized by a Geu d'Arme and a wine-mer chant, in whose shop the pamphlets were thrown ; die two others escaped. Those arrested are the Sieur Boequet, charged by the Sieur Le Normant, printer of The Journal de Empire, with powers to draw letters and money front the Post-office; the other is the son of the Sieur be Normant him self. As thiscrime will be pursued before the .Tribunals, we shall abstain from all reflections. bTRASBURG, :MAY 13.—Our national guards supply all the strong places which have been left by the troops of the line. The army of the Rhine has taken a position, protecting Spire, and along the Rhine to iluningen. It is united on the right to the corps, of observation of Jura, of which the head-quartcrs are at Befort. It has formed under the latter place a camp, commanded by .Lieute nant-General Lecourbe, - having► under his orders five Lieutenant-Generals, among whom are Abbe Cazitex and tlLtru►lei.

Preparations are making throughout with a prodigio . us The troops'of the arm y of ,the Moselle, com manded by Lieut.-Gen. Gerard,are moving to take a position in advance of Thionville and Lougwy. It appears that the army. of the Alps is very strong in advance of Chamberv. METz, MAY I3.—The news of great success of the King of Naples against the Austrians reaches us by Switzertaut] and Frankfort. It has caused R lively sensation. •It appears that the King drew after him the Austrians, wh o h a d t h e imprudence to divide. into two columns, of which one directed its march tipon Route, and the other upon An cona. The King, affer having collected his forces, marched upon the force which formed the left column., commanded by Field Marshal Comte de Neipperg. The King of Naples made 8000 prisoners and has taken- 2t.ipieces of cannon. One Field, Marshal has been . ivOunded, as well as-four other Generals, of whicly it aplieark many have been taken. Sonic letters state r that 'it is General Bianchi who has 'been. Wcinntled ; according to others it is General-Neipperg.
