PROCLAMATION.

" FRENCIIMEt3!- Inhabitants of -the Depart-
ments of the Ardennes, of the Aisne, and the
Marne ! Marching through your land with a
corps d'armCe belonging to the army of the Crown
Prince of Sweden, I learn with sorrow, that, in-
fluenced by the Commandants ,of • the small forts
in the neigqourhood, and upon their false rapre-
Sentation, several of your Communitih have armed
themselves against us ;- and that-, throwing off
the character of peaceable' itfthabitants, you have
assumed that of partisans; and, therefore, every
inhabitant who takes up arms, and though unable
to attadt the troops, falls on travellers and strag-
glers; and refuse to obey the military authorities,
such persons shall be punished as robbers.,

" Prem.:Moen ! obey the voice of hiui who has

nothing in view but your welfare. The Ttoyal
Chief of the army to which we belong is a Frewit-
man as well as yourselves, he is a security to you ,
for our sincerity. Not againSt you have we, taken
up arms, but against your Emperor-114n, who
by. sacrificing you, would keep Europe agitated
by continual storms. • The 'Russians weuld not
have been here, had not a
mad, a,detestable am-
bition carried your brethren to Moscow. 13eiing
now bere we shall do every thing our power to'
mitigate the sufferings always attendant .pu war.
" Inhabitants of France, I am always.ready to'
assist and protect you, and to puttish all those
who may maltreat you. - Come to me with.-
confidenec. Come'to every RnsSian Commander.
No, -Complaint by yon 'shall be overlooked; '
but, on the other hand, conduct yourselves
as it becomes peaceable inhabitants to do;
be obedient anti- quiet ; this is the only means of
safety for you.. Every commtnte,, every village,
which, after having heard this advice, shall not
spew obedience to it, hut make resistance to the
troops, shalt be. destroyed ; the houses 'shall he
destroyed',
.and the inhabitants. treated as traitors
and robbers. .

FRANKFORT, IthitCH 2.—We. find in several
papers, the following Proclamation, issued Iby
the Count. d'Artois, previous to his quitting
Basle :
" We, Charles Philip of France, Son of France,
Monsieur, Count d'Artois, brother to the
King, and Lieutenant-General of the King-
- &int.

" To all Frenchmen, greetingl—Frenehmen !
the day of your redemption is arrived : the bro-
ther of your King is in the midst or you. Be
comes to rear again the ancient banner of the
Lilies in the...heart of France, and to announce to
you the return of happiness and peace, and the
restoration of law and public liberty, under apro-
teetiug Government.
"No conqueror ! no war ! no conscription !,
no consolidated taxes any longer ! At the voice
of your Sovereign, your Father, . may your mis-
fortunes be wiped oif by hope, your errors by
forgiveness, and your dissensions by the union
to be effected, for which he is your security. •
" He burns with desire to fulfil the promises be
has made to you, and which he this day solemnly
renews, and by his lave and . benevolence to ren-
der happy the moment which, bringing him baek
to his subjects, restores "him ,to his children.--
Vice le Roi !"

LEYIDEN,;MAacit 11.=-The Government have
received official news from Laon of the 28th of
February, and Soissons the 4th of March. In
consequence of Marshal Blucher's movement upon
Meaux, Marniont's corps was attacked and re-
pulsed on the 25th of February. The army of
Wiiszingerode having marched .at the same time
from Rheimes along the General Bulow
quitted Laou on the Ist, and occupied Soissous on
the 3d of March. The French garrison, 1,400
strong, capitulated, and obtained leave to retire
to Villers Coterets, but 20 pieces of cannon fell
into thelhands of the Prussians. In the mean
while the division Tubers got possession of La
Terre, where it found 16 picees.of cannon. Four
hutulyed of the national guards, who were to-dc-
fend the place, obtained permission to return
home. This operation is important, inasmuch as
it facilitates the passage of the Oise, covering t4ie
right wing of the army, and favours the obtaining
of provisions. The armies of Silesia ana-Winzin-
gerocie effected their junction on the Scl, at Sois-
sons, with the corps of Bulow ; and Field-Mar-
,steal Blucher, who took the command of these
united armies, is now in a condition to pursue
with energy offensive operations.

Letters from Turkey say, that Count Andreossv,
the . Fiend) Ambassador at Constantinople, hks
declared to the Grand Signior, -that the state of
affairs in Italy made it necessary to recal the
French troops in Dalmatia and Albania, and that
the Grand Signior was at liberty to take posses-
sion of, those provinces for himself.

GHENT, Mtacn 3.—The sally of the French
from Lille, by which they recovered for a short
time possession of some of the towns of Belgintn,
and threatened' Ghent, has turned out greatly to
their disadvantage. The clay before yesterday a
great number of troops arrived here from Brus-
sels. The Duke of Saxe Weimar was here for a
moment, then returned to Brussels, and thence to
Enghein ; and to-day we have the happy news
that the Russian and Prussian troops having ar-
rived at Harlebeke yesterday afternoons, at three
o'clock, (Ideated the enemy, and the next night
surrounded Courtray . and Menin, so that the
French are shut• up there. We hear also that
Gen. Von Borstel, having advanced with 5000
men from 'l'ournay, against Gen:Malvin, who
returned a few days since to his. army, the French
hastily lied to Lille -with precipitation, leaving
eight pieces of tainton and 600 prisoners in the
hands of our troops.

again made. a sally on the side of Krudenberg, for
the purpose of getting possession of the salt laid
up there, bOt the inhabitants having received in-
telligence of it, threw the salt into- the water.—
_On this occasion we took 35 prisoners. An inha-
bitant of Wesel, who had joined the sally for the
purpose of getting cattle, was run through by the
Cossacks We are assured that upwards of 400
Burghers of Wesel, with their Mayor at their
head, attempted to make themselves masters, of
the Berlin Gate, but were overpowered and made
prisoners by the French. It is reported that the
Mayor was shot to death, and the rest put as pri-
soners into the chnrch. The want of provisions,
and particularly of salt, and likewise of firewood,
was very great. All the inhabitants have latterly
been obliged to deliver their provision into the
magazines, and receive their rations in the same
manner as the soldiers.

t° Poisess himself of Soissons, or of the command
°f the great and, direct rote from the North

Was undefended by the Allies, a proof that they
4ttached no importance to it :—at Soissons, on
The other hand, they lull successfully op-
tased the Enemy. BuoN.xl-.1 I.:rz had then, as we
ye stated, his head-quarters at I3ery-le-bac, oc-
111135'ing the road from Rheims towards Laon.—
141Citett, at the same time, was at Soissons, oc7

'Which miglq be supposed the apex of a cone, on
the opposite sides, of which the hostile armies were
tanged. The relative situation of the armies
Was altered by these operations. The French no
longer faced to the North, with the Allies re-
treating in that direction, and facing while they
Pack to the.south. The French, after the sth,
Were upon a line looking to the west, and the
Adies on a similar line, whose aspect was to the
east' BUONAPARTE'S right wing was on the side
f Laon (north), and his left on Rheims (south),
and the gallant BLucctErt hatLhis right oaSoissons
(south), and his left stretching so fai• to the east
as to co‘cr Lace. It was with this rearmost force

that the acticm of tte been rdtiot
Craone, a village about three nines from Bery-
le,gac, where the Corsican's head-quarters were
oa the sth. This, it will not be denied, is no
grpat proof of the overwhelming and rapid ad-
oruce 4: the Great Captain t neither are the re-
snits 4:ll7Ads pretended victory of a very disheart-
ening kind. Two thousand prisoners (for the filo-,
niteur has rounded into this specification the
original vague- " grand nombre," though ;t has
not taken an equal liberty with the " plasieurs,"
pieces of cannon,which are said to have beentaken) ,
and several pieces of cannon is a small achievement
which the mighty Ruler of a mighty Empire
should_ order the cannon of the metropolis to ce-
lebtik'pr with discharges of artillery. And the
•
~people, to use a common adage, seem to
have been aware that there was " great, cry and
little wool," for the funds did not rise a single
cent in consequence of the glorious victory, the
news of which, by the way, it is curious enough
to observe, took three days in travelling about
one hundred miles to the Capital ! We should
not be surprised, from this trifling indica-
tion, to learn that the right of BLUCHER'S
force, acting vigorously on the offensive, had not
played the Tyrant another slippery trick, and
proved to his discomfiture that there was nothing
like flight in the retreat of the gallant Army of
Silesia. This opinion is greatly strengthened ,by
the entire silence of the French Papers on the
11 th, the day after they had announced this victory
at Craoue, not only upon that subjest, but upon
another important event too doubtful]) mentioned
to deserve credit, that Prince SCHWARTZENBERG
had been repulsed at Nogent and Moutereau.—
We:rejoice in this side-w:nd information, that
theiniain Allied Army had again approached so
neat' 'the quaking Capital.
From Italy th French Papers also furnish the
comfortable inform icon that BEAUHARNOIS is
journeying with speed towairds Genoa, if not into
Piedmont, through Tuscany. This news, it is
true, Is rendered a little palatable to the Pari-
sians, by the accompaniment that he had had a
brilliant affair, and re-entered Parma—Parma !
on the right of the Po, and about as near to Ge-
noa as it is to Verona, where this Hero was so
very lately defeating Count BELLBGARDE ! !
There is a story of 8000 men crossing the Alps
to join AUGEREAV. We do not believe it, and
sure we are they cannot be spared from any other
quarter which the Despot has to defend.
There are also some gossipping stories about
what BLuc use a ndothers of the Allied Commanders
have said relative to the rising of the peasants.—
Among these there is a singular and comprehen-
sive confession, viz. that " the. flame (of resist-
ance) MAY spread to Paris." The Parisians then,
are not inclined to sacrifice themselves and their
City, (should it be assailed) to gratify the humane
fancy of the Usurper, by attempting the bloody
experiment of fruitless resistance.

We have given some interesting extracts from
Dutch Mails to the 13th, among which will be
found an excellent address by Gen. WonoNzow,
and another by the Frtnch King's Brother. To
aid the latter with arms, it is proposed to enter
into voluntary associations throughout this coun-
try. We trust the conflict will not last long
enough to enable them to be sent.
The CRow's PRINCE was still at Liege on the
28th. His troops are, however, far in advance,
and some of them took part in the action at Craone.
General MAlsoN, with a small force, has been beat
near Menin : he came from Lisle.

A treaty has been concluded between Persia and
Russia.

LORD WELLINGTON'S Axmv.—Extract of a let-
ter, dated Paris, 10th March .—" Our letters
flora Bourd-aux, of the 4th, say, that WELLING-
TON, with his English, Portuguese, and Spa-
niards, were within 15 leagues : we expect them
here in less than two days. The Allies have re-
taken the positions which they occupied round
Paris, and we are in a very great state of alarm ;
as for business, it is not thought of."
Extract of a letter, dated Paris, March 11 :
" We are without any news for these three days,
which gives us much uneasiness. The army
which attacks the south side of Paris is very
strong : the army which attacks the north side is
very strong ; the one opposed to it is also strong :
but that of the south is feeble and bad. We fear
every thing. Bourdeaux is in the hands of the
enemy since these 48 hours."

Letters from Vienna state, that ANDREOSSY, the
French Ambassador at Constactinople, has art-
fully notified to the Divan, that his Governm.ent,
having recalled its troops from Dalmatia and Al-
bania, the GCAND SEIGNOJA might now take pos.-
session of these provinces in his own name. This
is a contrivance for embroiling Austria with
Turkey, which we are persuaded will not prove
successful. •

The dispatches brought by Mr. MILLS, the Mes-
senger, from Lord CASTLEREAGH, were dated the

mont : Sir CHARLES STEWART was with him.—
Viscount CASTLEREAGH is occasionally at that place
and at ChatillOn. Mr. MILLS came by the Hague,
