On the 61h, at nine in the morning. a column entered Dole, and

The (loony are guilty of many excesseF, which nothing can justify.
A Fn!'ilier in time environs of Beamrepaire expresses himself thus :

pillage awl are strangers to every sentiment of humanity.
Could the French nation be mean sierited enough to suffer such
outra;.;es to do unpimislied ? Can there he among us men debased
enough to be insensible to the national bottom.? Can we tepose
iu tranquilmity while our (idiot citizens are exposed to all the
scourges of an invasion? Frenchmen ! you have only one part to-
take ; it is to irm, to unite, to present to the enemy the sight of a
courageous nation, resolved to defend its territory a:.d its inde-
pen lance. You countrymen conjure von to succour them ; it is
only to deliver them from pillage and destruction, that the Govern-
meta call you to the fields of honour. When the enemy are (trivet:
back beyqucl our frontiers, you will lay down your arms, and you
will enjoy the blessings of peace.
