quainted the inhabitants, that they must keep
themselves in their houses, and place in security
their most valuable property. Towards mid-day
the cannonade began ; but the French soon com-
menced their retreat, partly by Turkbeim, and
partly in the direction of Hartenburgb.where they
took up a position, from whence, however, they
retired in the night, on the approach of the Rus-

Erfurth.

DORSTEN, JAN. 11.—The Russian division of
General St. Priest, belonging to the army of Ge-
neral Blucher has now successively taken Cob-
lentz, Bonn, and Cologne: Indescribable was
the joy of the last mentioned commercial city,
when the Allies entered it, and.broke the iron
yoke under which that city and its merchants had,
so long sighed.
Wezel is now surrounded on both Banks of the.
Rhine. Before its communication with France
was curt off, the Commandant had disarmed all
the Dutch in. the kareison, and sent them towards
France by Nenloo. Many of them, however,-
Made their escape, at different parts of the road.

about 50 of the gars son made their escape, and
have joined our troops. They are to leave the
•camp to proceed hither. They describe the con-
sternation of the garrison of Antwerp as very
great on the driving in of the advanced posts, fol-
lowed up by the defeat of the whole army driven
out before the place. According to their account,
15,000 French were engaged. The garrison, to
the number of 8 or 9)00,.. was returned within the
foraess. The destruction was considerable, as
about 12,000 are computed to have returned.—
The inhabitants are very much discontented, and
join the Allies by the first opportunity.
JAN. IS.—We have to-day no addition-
al news from the‘vicinity of Antwerp. It is sup-
posed that the enemy will make some attempt by
a sortie to remove the Allies front Merxen, but.
the latter are now too strong to leave the enemy -
,much hope of success in such an experiment.
Reinforcements are moving down towards An-
twerp very fast, so dila the city will soon be
wholly enclosed. As •yet the enemy are nom°,
tested at several of the gates. A few days since
the last escort of provisions was obtained there,

ZURICH, JAN. 4.—Towards the restoration of
an old Government, 'a happy commencement has
been made. The Deputation from the different
Cantons were called together on the 20th ultimo,
and passed the following Act :
" The Deputies from the old Cantons of Uri,
Schwartz, Swiern, Glaris, Zug, Vrieburg, Basle,
•Schaffhausen, and Appenzel, being assembled at
Zurich, anti taking into 'consideration the present
state of their country, they were convinced, that
by the course of events so well known, it is im-
possible that the existing Constitution of the Hel-
vetic League for the. Act of Mediation, can any
longer continue. Further, it is imperiously ne-
cessary, for the welfare of Switzerland, not only
that the old Swiss Bond of Union should be re-
vived, , but that it should .be.*strengthened by new
regulations. For this purpose, the subsequent
Convention has been agreed upon and ratified.
