In this extraordinary meeting', rendered necessary by the urgency of •cireumstances, the general opinion was against every disposition which should tend to Modify the form 'of the Government. The Diet determined that Print - e Schwartzenberg should he written to, for theparphse of informing him, that the will of Switzerland was not to submit - to any change - in the division of its territory, except at the point of the bayonet,-and to declare. to that General, that the reunion -of the- Cantons of Vaud and of Ar , -ie -to that of Berne, would be contrary to the general ‘vili of the Confederation, which intend ed to preserve the *basis of its present organiza tion.- Colonel Hauser, Adjutonit to the Landam tuar., set out iornediately to carry the letter of the Diet to the Prince Schwartzenberg. It is considered as - eertaiii in Switzerland, that the vio latini of the neutrality has not been agreed to with coMmoU consent among the Allies, but that antuh dis:vgxeement hats existed among th'ent on tkc itiws been warmly contested at the lwatl-quarters whether the proceedipgs of Al.'De Sentt at •Ikrne, should not •be disavowed and Dispositions had been made to remove the head-quarters of the Allies to Berne, but after the 27th of December, the Quarter-masters were traversing the roads, to countermand the ar;•ange :l/lents ordered.

Besiegers on the 24th - December, that being the Birth-clay of the Emperor ALEXANDER,, and that the City was to be completely esltTlated on the Ist of J►}nuary. TheTown_ capitulated after the trenchis had been opened only 26 , days, and upon this event, tl►e Berlin - Papers triumphantly quote the. Noniteur of the 26th January last, which says, " Dautzig is now impregnable ; 30,000 of the best troops are there colleCted, under the command of excellent Geuerals. The Gover nor, General RAP?, IS a ;brave and undaunted soldier. A great number of officers of engineers and artillery ore with the garrison, and the place is amply provided for two years." BERLIN, GAZETTE; DEC. 1 I.—A private letter from Paris has the following passage :—" Of po • Utica! matters we can say nothing, ds such corn muniCations are attended with too much danger; we know - but little, indeed no more than- it . is thought fit we should ,know. The twenty stand of colours captured at Wuhan, Leipzig, and , , . Hanau, and brought hither , ify triumph, occa sioned no small joy; but we sincerely lament the loquacity of some Officers who were in. the above mentioned engagements, and have had the impu dence to assert that these colours must have been taken out of some church, or been removed from Mentz, or found somewhere else, as it is always customary when any colours have been taken from the enemy to make known the circumstance to the whole army on.the following day, at latest ; whereai they never heard a word of these twenty stand till they arrived at I:3,r;c. an d h fsL id es a ll those battles were not all calculated for taking colours. These imprudent reasoners were fOrth with apprehended, and will certainly be punished as they deserve for daring to call its question such manifest truths." In the last war betweeen France' and Austria the gamson of the fortress of Saxongang, in the county of Presburg, consisting of 330 men, ca pitulated, after a resolute defence, tO Marshal Oudinot, and on condition that it should be al lowed to march out with all the honours of war. It had already left the place, when Napoleon de clared that no capitulaton could be: concluded without his approbation. 'The brave little bond was denied permission to return to the fortress, but plundered, and carried away as prisoners of war. BERLIN GAZETTE, DEC. 16.—A public print re- ates, on the authority of a letter from Ilanau, that when that town was .cane-maded by the French, - the Prefect applied to the Emperor Na poleon, and entreated him to spare it. The v Etn. peror immediately asked if the bombardment had done the place any harm. Being answered in the affirmative, he rejoined, " It is only a punishment which you have richly deserved for your loud ac clamations on the arrival of the Bavarians ; I am going to cross the Rhine, and shall leave you to your fate : but we shall soon see one ano►her again, and have a little more talk on this sub ject." Prisoners who pass through the Hanoverian dominions confiim what we hav6 already heart] from several Generals and Officers of the General Staff taken at Leipzig, that the inveterate hatred of Napoleon against the Army of North Ger many, commanded by the Crown Prince. of ,Sweden, was the principal cause of his continued irresolution, and of the many error& by which he sacrificed great part of his army, artillery, and baggage, and the relic of his military reputation. The annihilation of the 41rniy of the Crown Prince was the positive order given by him to the Gene rals whom he successively sent to be defeated by that Army, and the usual expression of that un reasonable antipathy which had become his ruling passion. When certain intelligence was received that the Emperor' Napoleon was on the left bank of the Elbe, the Army of North Germany advanc ed from the Saale to attack him.

' . E.XTRACT OF A .LETTER FROM THE CORPS BESIEG- ING GLOGAII, NOV. 29. Since the sortieof the Bth and 10th, the ene my has been quiet, excepting the diversion ,which he daily takes in firing aft i er our cavalry reliefs. The' desertion from the fortress continues without interruption ; .20 or 30 men frequently come at once, and among these there are not rarely of ficers. The Commandant yesterday dismissed 1875 unfortunate half-starved inhabitants from the fortress : from these and from vleseiters we learn; that the last two sorties cost the enemy SOO men killed and wounded. So early as the middle of October, 700 inhabitants were turned out of the place. . The garrison begin to matt* great wants ; each soldier . is confined to half a pound of horse-flesh and three quarters of a pound of bread per day, without vegetables ; and the men have long been without spirits. The .French only and the sick are allowed fresh meat. Many hoyseshlve been killed and salted. The Frankfurters, Hessians, and Croats; are desirous of capitulating ; but the Commandant has hitherto found means to console them with the hope of indemnification for their hardships. Iu Oetober and November upwards of 900. died the hospitals. WArtsvv, DEC. 4.7--The fortress of Zomose and Modlin capitulated on the 22d" and 25th of November, and have been taken possession of by Russian troops. The garrisons of both are' pri soneri of war. Near.24o pieces of cannon, and a great quantity of ammunition, fell into the hands of the conquerors, His Majesty the Era pergr has been pleased to, grant an amnesty to the Polish troops, and permit them to return to their families : the French, on the contrary, will be conducted into the interior of R.tissia ; but the F.axons and Wurtemburgers, as Allies, will be Set at. liberty,--on which t abject farthey com mancli:are expected from his The gafrison of Zamosc was latterly reduced to the most disguiting fare.

ATreaty has been concluded wherein it is stipulated that Norway is to be ceded to Sweden in exchange for PoMerania, • and also that Denmark shall furnish 15,000 men, to join the Allies immediately, COM.- meneing the blockade of Hansburgh. HELVOLTSLUYS, JAN. 13.—A Dutch Officer, who made his escape from Antwerp, reports that a felltAlays before he left it, the French removed from 60 to 70 pieces of heavy ordnance from thence to Brussels ; the inference is that they are about to evacuate Antwerp. Accounts have been received here, that Gene ral Balmy, with 15,000 infantry and 3000 caval ry, had joined General Sir T. Graham, and that these combined forces . were advancing •towards Bergen-op-zoom.

The Berue Paper of 23d states as follows : The vanguard of the Imperial Austrian army, consisting of infantry and light cavalry under the command of the General of Artillery Count Von Bubna, has entered this town. An unusual num her of people were moving the whole day through the streets. Every thing remains quiet. His Excellency General Von Wattewyl has arrived here.—Haarlem Courant, Jan. 3.
