Official intelligence has been received in this capital of the French army under the command of Gen. Le Fevre, having in the morning of the 6th inst. crossed the Rhine at Bulberry near Urdinger. The passage was effected with the utmost celerity, and with the loss of very few men. Dusseldorf was in possession of the Republican troops in two hours after midnight.

The passage was effected with the utmost celerity, and with the loss of very few men. Dusseldorf was in possession of the Republican troops in two hours after midnight.
Thus has the passage of this rapid river been accomplished at a place where least expected, inasmuch as the French had concentrated the force apparently destined for this expedition opposite Newied. This brilliant achievement was no doubt effected with the greatest facility, on account of the French having made a feint to cross at Mentz. This feint attracted the enemies forces to the quarter where they expected to be assailed, which enabled this army, comparatively small, to accomplish their object in the manner described in the following letter from

The following are the particulars:
"Between Newied and the White Town, is situated an isle of considerable extent, which has not hitherto been occupied by either of the contending parties. Last night however, this isle became the theatre of a sanguinary conflict. About 2 o'clock in the morning 1200 republicans embarked in small craft, and being favored by the darkness of the night, effected their passage to the isle. The moment they gained a footing, they took the precaution of throwing up breast works, in order to secure their position; but the noise of the pickaxes and shovels alarmed the Austrians, and a discharge of musketry having convinced them of the intention of the French, they commenced a heavy and incessant fire of cannon and mortars, and at intervals kept up a well directed fire of musketry. The French, in their turn, opened all their batteries on the enemy, and the reports were so tremendous, that the earth shook several leagues from the scene of action.

Are you in the midst of your friends, or of your enemies? Are you our representatives, or our masters? Is it by the clashing of swords or bayonets, or in the silence of a peaceful liberty, that we are to pronounce our will upon the new constitution, and to choose our new representatives? Always slaves, under the glorious name of freemen, always chained by the hands of different factions, which have already governed the empire during three years, at the very moment when we begin to repose after so many fatigues, when a ray of liberty begins to shine upon us, when we are called upon to exercise one of our most glorious rights, we

fall into the hands of soldiers, we are surrounded with threats, and we see on all sides, our walls encompassed with preparations for battle! Shall we be allowed the right of once more saying, on some future day, that our acceptance of the constitutional act has not been free? Do they wish to compel us once more to elect a Collot, or a Robespierre? It is in vain, that the effusion of our blood should be the consequence; we will freely express our will with the bayonets at our bosoms; we will be free, in spite of this system of terror, but we will have liberty, even in appearance. Representatives of the people, you had no soldiers to defend you in the months of Germinal and Prairial, when you were attacked by the Jacobin army; all the good citizens rallied round you, and are ready to do the same again. They are your only guard; they are the only guard of liberty in the interior. Those who have conquered the enemies on the frontiers, have reaped more brilliant glory, but never had purer sentiments; let them vote for the constitution with us, but let them not come to exert, over our deliberations, that fatal influence which the Jacobins too long exerted over yours.

The soldier, when under arms, is essentially obedient; he is then only a formidable instrument in the hand which directs him. If you recall the troops to pronounce their opinion on the constitutional act, let them lay down their arms; let the soldiers return to their homes; a camp is not the place for deliberation, but for repelling an enemy, and what enemy have those troops to repel who have come to pitch their tents round this great city? Long remote from the centre of business, exposed to every kind of suggestion, since they have no real enemies here, imaginary foes will easily be created for them. Already have bayonets, honourably stained with the blood of the Austrians, been basely polluted with the blood of our citizens. Nantz has seen with horror the heads of her inhabitants carried about in cruel triumph; she has seen the march of the deluded soldiers, marked by pillage and murder. This dreadful news has not been communicated from the hall of the National Convention! What policy then could conceal it from you? or, rather, what criminal address has induced you to be silent on this subject? What considerations have retarded the punishment of those horrid crimes? Is the blood of citizens then alone to be shed? Does the circumstance of having gained victories give men the right of committing murders? Woe be unto you, representatives, if you have to seek for patriotism in the blind infatuation of the armies! Woe be unto you, if you be reduced to the necessity of appealing to them from the judgment which the citizens pronounce upon you! If you employ force, you cannot thoroughly be convinced of the goodness of your cause. Cause the crimes committed at Nantz to be published as soon as possible; revenge the blood which has been shed, for you will be called upon to account for it! Send away those soldiers who may too easily be rendered the instruments of perfidy, whose presence is an insult to the citizens of Paris and to yourselves; and, we must say—an attack upon liberty.

It is time that the great and substantial part of the American yeomanry, who have hitherto looked with contempt upon the agitations and calumnies of the opposing faction, considering them as the usual and idle efforts of a party desirous of creeping into power, should now view them in a more clear and odious point of light. It is time that the American pride of character should spurn them as the base betrayers of the peace and honor of their country, and point upon their heads the lightning of honest indignation, as upon the hireling villains of European intrigue.

As mentioned above, the indispensable forms of the Treasury, in compliance with the law establishing the department, and to secure a due accountability, make it impracticable to pay at the day; and if expressions of the kind in question are to be confirmed literally and as a positive injunction to the Treasury to issue the money at the period defined, it will be as much a breach of the law to pay afterwards as to advance beforehand.

The position that an after payment would be a breach of the law, will hardly be contended for; and if not, the alternative seems to be, the construction adopted by the Treasury. Such expressions denote simply that at certain periods individuals acquire a perfect right to particular sums of money for their services, which it becomes a matter of course to pay; but they are not obliged to receive it at the day; nor is the Treasury restrained from paying it afterwards; or from anticipating by way of advance, if there are adequate reasons for such anticipation.

It is not true, as alleged, that the invariable practice of the Treasury as to compensations for services differs in principle from what was done in the case of the President. Instances to the contrary have been stated. As to what regards the army, there has been sufficient explanation.

A great degree of unanimity has prevailed in the adoption of the Constitution, and the decree for re-electing the two thirds has created a considerable division. From what we have seen, however, there appears a majority against it. On the 10th of Sept. 45, of the sections of Paris had rejected it without a dissenting voice.

In the Convention on the 11th of Sept. Merlin de Douai gave further details respecting the crossing of the Rhine. It was crossed in three points. The right division had orders to flank the enemy, and the left to cut off the retreat. Want of artillery and cavalry prevented an effectual pursuit of the flying Austrians. They left behind 7 pieces of artillery. In Dusseldorf were found 161 pieces of artillery, and a vast quantity of ammunition. The republicans lost 200 men, killed and wounded. Jourdan writes that he is about pursuing the advantage and will force the enemy to sue for peace.

The republican ardour has not yet animated every portion of the people; but the civic instruction will make more proselytes, without doubt, under a government, than during the reign of anarchy. The Constitution and decree of the 5th Fructidor have been rejected. Three fourths of the ballots were in these words:—Long live the King; Long live Louis XVIII. No Convention; no Constitution.
