PARIS,NoV. 19,—Our frontiers nre threatened.
Implacable enemies, whose ranks have-, been
swelled by treason, wish to invade the -French
territory. The,war lighted up in Europe by the
influence of England cannot -be suljected to the
common calculations of policy. The question:is
not partial cessions of territory—it is the. North
precipitating itself upon the South, as it precipi-
tated itself in the first ages of the monarchy.
France %'as then, as sheds still now., the great oh-
cock to the success of the northern nations. Our
country has always-been the bulwark of eiviliza-
tiOn, and an object OF jealousy to the other
Powers, -because it is also the country of the arts,
the centre of improvements, an' the model for
nations.in every thing i'hat is :101)1c and glorious.
It is, therefore, that ancient barred against
France, that wish of .humbiing.her glory, which
now direct the plans of our enemies. It would be
uselesS to dissemble this,untb, for it is in difficult
circumstances that the greatness of nations, like
that of indivitittok, is known. The nation, warn-
ed of its present .danger, will feel that its salva-
tion depen(k upon. its •energy, and its unlimited
confidence in government. Great sacrifices are
neees:ary all private. considerations must give
way before-the good of all : the. enemy is at our
doors, we must repulse him.' Frenchmen must
again shcw themselves worthy of their ancestors,
whose otiry is as a sacred deposit.contided to their
patriotism ; let them, in short, be. worthy of toe
name which they hear, and of the Sovereign who
Las so frequently conducted them to victory, in
partaking their fatigues and their dangers.

Our eiiemies have forgotten that. France is. the
land of the bfaVe, and the country of honour.
They lOve forgotten that at. the voice of the
country menlced, theme is no Frenchman who does
not know •what is his duty, and who is not ready
to, fulfil it.

They, perhaps, imagine, that we will quietly
Wait those undisciplined cohorts, which .every
where 'r:ringr their train, .pillage and devastation.
Their expectation be •ideceived. Our public
monuments, .the chef . d'eruvre -of arts, immortal
trophies of our victorieseach part of this natal
land, so favoured by 'nature-41 that is French,
is under the safeguard of all ; it is .thus, that
from Mentz to Perpignan, and•from Brest to Tou-
lon, from the Alps to theyyrennees, every citizen
wilt be ready to fly to the assistance of his fellow-
citizen.

We have already: seen the Prussians in Cham-
pagne . we have seen the Russians upon our fron-
tiers, we have read those proclamations, in which
threats were. mixed with insult ; rind a single
movement of. the nation was alone requisite to
dissipate all danger. There is a noble example
which might now to be imitated.
Let every Frenchman, therefore, awaken at the
vo:ee Of the Government .which directs our re-
sources and our efforts ; let each of it; remember,
that there is oothhig to fear, provided lie answers
the appeal" Of his SOvereign. It is by au unani-
mous and'generons movement that we shall drive
—far from our towns. our Wives, and from our
children---far 'from the sacred tombs of our
thers—the scourge of war, insnit, and devasta-
tion. We are Frenchmen, and we will never cease
being so.
'SDititS.tiro,• Nov. 15.----Some Princes of Ger-
many, nho wished to remain taithfid to their en-
gagemellCS 'with Prance, have adopted the reso-
lution of retiring for the present into S‘vitzerland.
Among this number is the Prince of Asembourg,
who some days ago passed through' this city.—
The Grand Duke of Frankfort is still' at Con•
stance.—We daily see a great number of troops
arrive here ; 'coltorts• ale forming; all the-garri-
son is animated by the best spirit. • • •
