of yesterday, relative to the payment_ of bank-

tinue the discounting, and to assist commerce.---
The ResOl;ition of the Conlinittee was read twice.

" Several Members spoke on the situation of
trade, on the state of the Bank, on the nece,ssity

ing its efforts to support credit and the facility of
business.

" It was fount' that the measure resolved on
by the General Committee of ,the Bank, to pay
500,000 franks per diem, till the receipt of the
port-leuille shall allow, this stun to be increased,
is the' only one which is suitable- to the state of

independently of the superabundant guarantee of
the p;'hnitiye capital furnished by the proprietors,
-under the •name of Commandite, and of the re-
served profits, which amount together to Jll mil-
lions 500,09.9 franks, it would .be eol.trary to all
reason, that any apprehension "should-exist con-
cerning the'paynient of the notes, ana that all
good citizens cannot fail to unite their effOrts that

PARIS, JAN. 19.—Yesterday morning his Ma-
jesty the Emperor reviewed 18,000 'men of
arms, in the. Court of the Palace of. the Thuille-
ries. Numerous trains of artillery, and 'of
.the
equipages of the battalions of the Imperial Guard,
filed off before his Majesty. These troops set off
to repair to thei7 appointed destination. A great
number of other regiMents will also very shortly
leave Paris.

Accounts from Lisle of the 14tb state, that a
telegraphic dispatch announces that • our. troops
has gained an advantage in the environs of Maes-
tricht.

PARIS, TAN. 20.—it is not without pain 'that
we inform our readers that the itrhabitants of 1111:1=
.
con have, suffered their town to be entered by a
small number of horsemen of the enemy, whom it
would have been easy for them to hare rephised.
What was the result of this act of 'inexcusable
weakness 7lt was, that the city of Macon was
loaded with requisitions and contributions of every
kind, for in war cotdage is-respected arid coward-
ice despised , such is the fate of tobabitants of
towns who suffer themselves to be lulled to sleep
liv deceidul promises. They must expect the
contempt of their fellow citizens and the ruin of
their property. _

The conduct of the inhabitants, of Chalons and
those of Langres is worthy of the highest praise,
and ought to serve. as' an example to all the towns
menaced by the enemy. His principAl force is in
cavalry. IVith that arm incursions ate made,
but' not conquests. Detachments pre,ent' them-
selvej; at' great distances, but they are not sip-
ported by corps of infantry, which march more
slowly, and 'an effectual resistance may be hide to
those isolated detachluents. The peonittOf Chalons
have ,made the experiment, As. have the brave
Langres, and shewn themselves wo,rthy of the
French name.'

The tactics of the enemy are new so well known,
that it would be inexcusable to be their dupe : a
party of cavalry arrives at the gates of a town and
announces a corps d'urtnee. They expect b'y this
false assertibn, to intimidate the colstituted
•thorities and the inhabitants, and In y
out fear contributions. and regaisitions of every
kind.

It was thus that the town. of the Dole suffered
itself to be surprised by a party npt very numer-
ous ; the men cowardly enough to advise inaction
were the first victirns Their houses vere pil-
laged and laid Waste. it is very disgraceful to
Frenchmen who have to maintain their reputation
in the eyes of Europe, to suffer themselves to he
terrified by troops of marauders, . 'will col-
lect with care the acts of courage and

Which shall 'distinguish towns where the enemy
shall present hithself. The inhabitants of these
towns may one day sheer to their children these
titles to glory, and the) shall applaud themselves
for having consulted their true interests in serv-
ing sthe common cause. Every thing is saved •by
.courage7—every thing lost by cowardiqe.
We learn that the Prince
.Viceroy preserves
his advantageous position on the Adige. The
passages of the Great St. Bernard are guarded by
French troops stationed in the environs, and ready
to proceed thither in case of need.
PARIS, JANUARY 23.=f he Monitetir of the
22d of this mouth, contains -a.• Decree of the
Emperor, ordering 12 regiments of volunteers to.
be formed in Paris, viz.: 6 of Voltigeurs, and 6
of Tirailleurs of the young guard. The men: are to
be between the ages of 20 and 50, and 'they are
to serve till the'encmy shall be driven out of the
territory of France.

O❑ the 22(1 this Decree was published and
posted up with the following Proclamation of the
Muuicipal Body to the Parisians :

PROCLAMATION.

cr PA-ufsfAss!—His Majesty the Emperor and King, in his
speech to the Senate, calk(' on, the French of Paris, of Brit-
tany, of Normandy, and Champagne, of 'Burgundy and the
other departments,-to fly to the aid of those of our provinces
which were invaded.
" The City of Paris will not d• less -than Normandy, Brit-
tany, and the other parts of Fraace. It will not remain
be-
hind -when the 'question is to spew-love of our country, and of
honour, as Well as the unalterable , attachment of the-French
to the Sovereign whu has re-established the moaarchv, and all
who-,c thoughts have for their object the glory and prospyi'ity
of the Empire.
" The Emperor's :honour and our country calls on u 3.
" The enemy, after haring violated .the neutrality of a na-
tion whom they had flattered, wished to sow, seeds of'dissen-
siopwamong• us, thus adding to the ravaging of the country-
which they occupy, an insult still more injurious to the
French honour. •

" His Majesty invites lolnnteess to serve in the Young
gtiard. The citizens able to bear arms, and those whom cir-
cumstances depri►•e of work, will be eager to obey this

An honourable. peace-shall maintain' the-integrity of
France in its'natural limits, and above all the.skedy deliver-
ance of our territory; this must be our .rallying .cry.. The
• people ;of Paris who, have alWays given the "examplclfy first
furnisiling their, contingent for the,-.4iffiercut conscriptions,
will now;ti,4un give that atitachment to a Sovereie,nto whom,
they owe every thing both al enchnien and Perisians.
What Frenchman can be deaf to the cries of the people
of French Comte,. of Lorraine, and to the' vice of the
Lyonese, who are threatened by the enemy? -Who wOold.not
:'red his blood to preserve ,unsullie_d the honour which we
have received,frorn our ancestors, and to maintain France in
the limits which nature has assigned-to her ? Who would be-
' come the sport of Europe and behold the Late of France sub-
ject to the caprice and to the hatred of Our enemies? • •
" France, which till this moment has never needed protec-
tion; still less pity, from other people, and which,-,On the con-
trary, has given proofs of its generosity and protection to the
nations of the Continent.
Let these great and clear interests induce those who are
g, capable of servin and who, from circumstances, circumstances, have quit-
ted the profession of arms, enter into these valiant phalanxes,
which will fight under the eye of their Sovereign, wader the-
standard of the-first Captain 'in the world.
" The Muuicipal'Body with the consent of the higheran-
thorities, resolves, that this present Proclamation be
ed and posted up in the City of Paris, with the Decree of, his
Majesty, and that dm unicipal.olticer shall attend frinp to-day
at the Bureau of every Maine, with the officers of the guard
named fur the purpose, to receive the names of the vulun-
teerS. , .

'to'collect -some provision ; general Harispe was:
informed of,itk went and Attacked bim,and briskly

any thing array from the valley.
On the 10th, the General having been informed
that the enemy intended to, forage from the side
of Maecaye and Loukossoa, left his head-quarteri
at Iripari, with six chosen companies, imexnect-
edlv fell upon the foragers,- took from them 34
.English prisoners, and about -110 horSes and mules.
On the 11th the General came to-St. Jean Pied
,de Port, where two cohorts of the National Guard
were assembled ; and on the 12-th, in the morn.-
ing; he attacked the enemy at St. Etienne .de Boi-

'of Bison; The General of Daultane,
and the light troops bf Colonel Lalaune, formed
part of this expedition.
On another side, General Soult, commanding
.the light cavalry of the army, had, on the 10th,
his head-quarters at Saint. Martain Darlison ; his

Ayrtire.' Lieutenant-General Clausel was at the
Chapel of Icastide de •Clerence, guarding with his
corps the right of the Gambouri, to its falling,in-
to, the Adonr abOve Urt.
We can positively' assert, that our army is fine,
'filled with courage.and ardour; and that far from
acting upon the defensive, it will asstime,..i menac-
ing 'atitude, which will soon second the Empe-
ror's intentions, by purging our south6rn frontiers

states, that, kIzaTIFIER bad left Paris fol. Chalons,

tion •to roliow him thither,, Caller on the 27th pi`
28th of the present month,
,to take' Che conanand
of the Army, in that situation.
It has.‘been confidently said, that the Allies
have freely expressed their determination-to make
no peace with the French while BUONA,PARTE is
on the ,throne. This we state as the report of
the day.

The Duke of SAN CATIL4, the bearer of FER-
DINAND the Seventh's Treaty with NAPOLEON,
came thrott4h Catalonia to Madrid. He brought
alio a k.tter front the captive King to the tem-
porary Government of Spain, The contents of
the letter are as strange as the articles of the
I..r.caty, FERDIKAND extols and thanks his peo,
pie for their, defence of his rights, Compliments
the -English and Lord WELLINGTON OW their
successful co-ciperatiorl, and dwells with grati-
tude 011'N4o/eon's kindness to hits during his resi-
dence in France.

We learn by letters from America, that the ne-
phew of General MOREAU, adopted by him as his
son, and placed by hilly in a College at Baltimore,
kept by Frenchmen, was inhumanly expelled from
College by a M. DUBIAG, the Superor of the Col-
lege:as soon as be received the news of the death
of that great and good man. Fortunately the
Young man, who is about fifteen, wkis received,
by sonic humane persons, who endeavoured. to
make him forgetthis infamous treatment.

Lieutenant DALYELL, IL N. arrived in LondOn
on Thursday evening, being releasetZ withoutex-
chan,;e, by the express' order of BUONAPARTE,.
nine ,years confinement, in consequence of
his numerous wounds. 'fins is tire same officer
who was taken prisoner in Nov. 1803, when be-
longing to the Experiment shop, fitted out by Sir
SIDNr.Y SMITH, and commanded by'Captaiu, then
Lieutenant iIarrCHET, and which defended herself
for three days and nights • against the' enemy's
troops, although aground nearly a mile from the
beach', in Holland, and only manned with eleven
men. und the above two Officers, both of whom,
after being- prisoners 17 days, matte their escape.
Lieut. DALYELL was afterwards Lieutenant of the
Tattler sloop ; when attacking anti boarding a
French lugger off St. Vaiery, he 'received thir-
teen, wounds in; the head and back, and was left
for dead •n' her decks : he has since been a pri-
soner at Verdun. We sincerely hope the patron-.
age of t.he_Achniralty will be extended to this brave
but unfortunate young man. By the .same car-
tel which brought him over we have received let-
ters from an intelligent Correspondent in France;
and we hare no doubt but ere this the Allies are
in possession of Lyons. Our Correspondent tie.,
scribes the people -of France as most anxious for
a general peace, hut thinks the proclamations of
the Allies couched in such doubtful terms, that
the population is likely to rise en masse. 13UO;s1A—
PARTE is collecting an immense'army at -, 40
leagues from Paris, whe=re it is simpposed he ‘sill
make a desperate stand. Provisions were rising
rapidly in price,, and our prisoners at Verdun were
about to be removed, in consequence of' time ad-
vanCe of time Allies. The mortality in the French
army is described as excessive during the last
campaign 'in' Germany ; and it is even thought that
the loss by the sword and by sickness exceeded
that at MoscoW by the frost. There were tem-
porary hospitals erected at Verdun, and 50 or 60 of
the:French died daily in them. Orders hair.been
sent to burn the fleet at Antwerp rather than let
it fall into the hands .of the Dutch or English.
