" General Oudinot has taken poSsession of the
Counties of .Neufchattsi and Valengin. He found-
those Countries ,loaded ,with English merchandiZe,
heaped .there by 'the Merchant's of Switzerland, and
principally by these of Bale. Of these the'French
Arrity has taken to the amount of many'rnillio'ns : all
the bankS of the Lake of Neufchatel were. covered
_with 'English inanufaeltires.. This circumstance justi-
fies all the prohibitory measures Which maybe taken
regard .'terSWitzerland.
,That Country is' little
mare; at this moment, than,a warehouse fdr English
goods.. Whenit:shall be cleared of these manufac-
tures,we shall perhaps have the mains of giving a new
.check to our enemy. Is it poSsible that the Landam-
Man was not struck with the danger' to which heat-
posed the Country ? Who will prote& Basle-from
a visit from the French Army ? Does thiS Magistrate,
who sees smuggling carried on-by -wholesale .under
his eyes, suppose that he, is. not responsible ? lithe
French consider these depots of prohibited goods so
publicly made, and to such great extent, a real ael of
hostility=-if the French Government multiplies pro-
hibitory laws between Switzerland, France, and Italy,
will not the Landarriman be the cause of it ? and will
not all the -cdtriplaints than the Swiss may make be
unjust and ill-founded?
". Dalniathi is occupied by-the French Airily. It
is separated j-rem the mouth of the Cattaro by the
Republic of Ragusa : the country is mountainous, -
and the rraidS are bad. The. French troops lifiVe arriv-
ed at Ragtisa, when the fort of Castel,Nnovo was-de-
livered' to 300 .13.ussiati a by Gen J3rady,who command-
ed .2000 • Austriana. This General, whose ancestors
were English, has keen wanting in respect to France,
and:has betrayed hia Master. 'Upon receiving this
formation, Marshal aerthier gave orders that Bran,
nano,' which defends the frontier of the Inn, and which
was to have teen given up on the ISt pf.April,Should.
not he restored, and that it should' he again garri-
soned. . The division of the* Grand Army, Which was
on its way to France, has halted. -The Prisoners of
War .that were to hOve been sent back to Germany haVe
-been detained, until farther orders, in the places at
wall they were.
" This outrage offered by Rutssia to -the Austrian
flag and7arms, is:the more inconceivable, becaUse
the Russians :are at Corfu, draw their provisions
from the Forts Of Trieste and Fiume, a free cominu-
nication - with which h•as not been prohibited. The
Court of Vienna has. ordered, that General‘ Brady
should be arrested ,and tried.- it has expreSsed its
dissatisfaelion to Russia._ It -will-cause Castel Nuovo,
and the mouths of the Cattaro, to be delivered up to
Fratree, -without having occasion to reply, by arms,
to this aft of hostility.. •
The Rtissians have evacuated Hanover, and re-
turned -home. The Army which the. Emperor Alex-
ander commanded has also returned to Russia. Af-
ter all the losses which it sustained, it is very natural
that'it Shouldrepair them by recruiting. 'A part of
tire troops which were at Corfu have returned to. the
'Bosphorus With General Lacy. A considerable part
of those that Were in 'Poland are marching towards
ChOCiim andthe Crimea. The illusion, with respect
to the Russian Armies, is to more.. The French
Army which, in two months, dissipated the third Co-
alition, was-then.only on the Peace Establishment : at
theend of the three months, whiCh have since elapsed,
it finds' itself on the War Establishment.. IClias no 7
thing to fear from- all the Forces ,of Eurepe; but no
person will be able to form a fourth 'Coalition.—
England knows. full well that it would be money
thrown away. She, reflects with.terror, that the:
first Coalition, which lasted five years, made Fiatucc:
mistress of Holland, Belgium, the Rhine, and all
the Cisalpine Country—that the second Coalition,'
which Only lasted two years, gave to France
Piedtil'ent and • Switzealand—that the third, which
only lasted- three motitlis, gave her Venice,
Naples, and Genoa—that the least she Could
expect from a fourth Coalition would be Trieste
and Fiume, and the eternal ex-clusion of the Eng-
lish from all thy. Ports of Europe. Russia, reco-
vered from the.vain illusion by which she was de-
ceiVed,--w ell knows shat. thirty: millions of people,
• scattered 'over an immense territory, and under. the
necessity of opposing- the Persians, Turks; and Tar-
tars; can do against flirty, millions -of Frenchmen
united on the sail-rep- latform, brave, 'Olive, and in-
telligent, and more Capable of conquering Russia
than the-Russians are of conquering France.
-"- English; Russian,. and .Sardinian Envoys, and, a
knot of malcontents from all the. Countries in the
world, had fiXed en Rome as the centre of their ma-
' chinations. The Emperor required that they should
be driven from thence; and that a Sovereign, placed
in his EMpire, should do nothing contrary to the:
