SWISS CG'SFEDERATION.

" We, the Landamman and the Members of the
Diet of the 19 Cantons of the Swiss Confederation,
." To you, dear Confederates, health :
" The war which was lately far from our fron-
tiers, is approaching our country and our peace-
able d • -
1` Under these circumstances, it was our duty,
as deputies of the Confederate Cantons, to ma-
turely rellert upon the situation of the country, to
addi,fss communications to the lielligerentPowers,
and make all the ulterior dspositions which cir-
cumstances denoted.

Faithful to the principles of their forefathers,
we have,. in virtue of the powers and orders of our
government, declared with unanimous voice and
will, the neutrality of the Swiss. We are. going
to have transmitted and notified in the most pro-
per forms, to the sovereigns of the states at war,
the solemn act which we have just passed with
this intention.

" 'ntlike to Divine • Protection, the observa-
tion of n exact neutrality has, during ages, gua-
ranteed the liberty and repose of our country.—
Now, as in times of old, this neutrality alone be-.
longs to our position, and to our wants. We,
therefore, wish to establish and make it respected
by all the means which are in our poWer. We
wish to insure the liberty and independence, of
Switzerland, maintain its present' constitution,
and preserve our territory from all attempts; 3ucb
`is the only end of all out efforts.

"To this effect we address ourselves to yoa,
dear Confederates of all- the Cantons of Switzer-
land, in immediately giving you information of
the declaration which has just been issued. The
Diet expects of each of you, whoeverbe may be,
that he will act with the same views ; that' he
will contribute by all his means to the . common
cause; that he, will make the efforts and sacrifices
which the good of the country, and its preserva-
tiim, demands ; and that thns the whisk nation
will spew itself worthy of its forefathers and of
the happiness which they enjoy.
" May the Sovereign Master of the World be
pleased to accept. the homage of our profound
gratitude, for the immense benefits which he has
hitherto diffused over cur country ; and may the
preservation, the tranquility, and the happpiness
Of this state, plarel uuder his protection, be
granted to our prayers.

LETTER FROM THE PRINCE VICEROY TO TILE

MINISTER AT WAR.

" Monsieur le Due de Feltre,—After having re•
pulsed the enemy several marches in the valley of
the ,71,dige, from the side of Roverido,. I formed
the plan of marching upon him by the road of
cenza; anti I was particularly
_induced !o this, be-
cause I knew that he intended to fortify himself in
the position of Caldiero. This attack was to have
taken place on the 14th, but bad weather delayed.
it to the 15th, when I debouched from Verona a
part of thc troops in three columns, viz. General-
Qnesnel on the left, General Marcognet •in the
Centre, and General Mermet, with the cavalry and
a brigade of infantry, on the right, having a bri-
gade in reserve. We found the enemy occupying
the heights of Caldiero, in number about 10,000
men ; be was briskly attacke:l, and notwithstand-
ing his lively resistance, the village of 'lasi, that
of Cologuola, 'and the heights of Caldiero, were
successively carried amidst cries of. I/leen:alp e-
reur !

The enemy, driven into the plain, was pur-
sued:beyond the torrent of /Upon, and in the de-
file our artillery caused him much injury:' He had
More than 1300 men killed or wounded, and 900
prisoners remained in our power.
(Here follows the praise of officers who distin-
giished themselves.)

We have :lad but about 500 men put hors de
combat. Unfortunately, there are at least 30 of-
ficers ; among whom, f superior otficeri have al-
ready been reported to me ; but the day certainly
cost the enemy from 2,200 to 2,400 Men. •[Jpon
this, 1 pray God, M. le Due de Feltre, to have you
in his holy keeping.

\
Iv. et' wilen we come to examine particulars, this
teol4-1111 appears to be little better than a pre-
. tce, or itt most, founded on very inadequate
Ilpr". The appearance of the Majesty of ROME

this a sturvy trick for the first Captain of the age? Ts

frivolous
,peolife—if they consent to the sacrifices
•
ed of them for such baby fooling as this,
they ire not only ',the molt frivolous but the
ttiest tv. Orthless people on earth. -

Of military and political inforniatirin these Pa:
peri are rather
,barren. They stake - that Mac-
rioNALn, on the 20th, was hi march from Cologne
upon•Wesel, and consequently approaching Hol-
lamb ano that the Allies had retired from the bank
of the Rhine on the opposite side from Cologne.
Thii retreat, we' imagine, is a movement to the
North, for the purpose of ensuring the excision of
DAVoUST, as well as supporting the Army which,
long before MACDONALD could reach Cleves,would
be prepared to welcome hint to the banks of the
\Vaal, and present him and his followers with the
Liberty of Holland.
_ _ .

It is asserted that ST. CYR surrendered on con-
dition of being marched to France—We do not
believe that be could obtain such terms, and Sir
C.STEWART'S dispatch mentions
.that the report
to the CROWN PRINCE was, that the garrison of
Dresden were " prisoners.of war," an expressiofi
which, We apprehend, does not imply the con-
struction given in the French Papers.
From Mentz, " a report is in circulation, that
the Allied Armies were about to be separated, and
divided into different corps, which Shall be spread.
in very extensive catitonments. The difficulty of
procuring provisions is, it is Said, one of the
principal cauibs Of this measure, occasioned, be-
sides, by tbo necessity of procuring repose to
troops worn out with fatigue, and its want of every
thing."

Upon this report we have to remark, that the
French do not stem to be very well acquainted
with what is doing on the right of the Rhine, or
bat is the stain quos of the Allies. At Cologne
one person appears to tell them the news-7—at
Mcutz they trust, to a kind of impalpable
report. If we believe the Allies, however,
who ought to know what they are themselves
cluing, we will find that instead of separating, they.
were concentrating " for ulterior operations.—
Neither clues it appear 'at all reasonable to con-
jecture, that proposal% for Peace front the enemy
has induced any change of operations. Bad the
Tyrant seen any prospect of this sort, he would
not have failed to arniounce the glad tidings to the
Parisians. Nothing could be sn desirable to limas
to throw out even a hope of returning tranquility,
and if he hnd it in his power he would. blazon it
torch, to consolidate and unite, if possible, the hol-
low mug rotten timbers which now scarcely support
his throne. In short, the writer wilt always
be led - into error who speculates upon the state-
ments of the ilfoniteur, as if they were truths.
On Italy BEAUHARNOIS has been again victo-
rious, that is to say, he set opt from Verona to
clear the valley of the Adige and march upon
Trent, and half way thither (on the 15th) he met
with 10,000 Austrians on the heights of Caldiero,
whom he attacked, dislodged, and routed.
In consequence of which be did not proceed
to Treat, hut returned crowned with laurel to Ve-
rona {,Now the Austrian army about Trent con-
sists of 60,000 men—need we say more to prove
that BEAUHARNOIS has achieved a glorioui ex-
ploit, and at least displayed the better part ofH
valour—discretion!

Among other matter in these lournals will be
found a Swiss official document--but it is clip.
dently a Gallic-Swiss article of manufacture. In
point of fact it is as much a ruse de guerre as the King
of SAxosry's message fromLeipsic,and is intended to
oppose the harrier of neutrality in Switzerland
against the invasion of France, where she is most
through that country where the mighty
bulwark of the Rhine is narrowed.
• We do not believe the Swiss People will lend
themselves to this stratitgew ; and we have no
doubt the Allies see too clearly through it to ren-
der it of any avail if they were so culpable.

There is something said about a reconnoissance
of SOULT'S on the 18th, we have no fears in that
quarter, and the only anxiety it occasions us, is,
for the arrival et Lord WELLINGTON'S next
disinitches.

The French have committed great excesses at
Voerden—of 150 patriot Dutch,' only 30 escaped
from death or wounds. Retaliation is at hand.

It is understood that Parliament will adjourn
on Friday week, the 10th December, 'for nearly
three months.

It is somewhat curinas, and .is n proof of the
ignorance in which a►t the dependencies of France
are kept; respecting any disasters which its armies
may suffer, that, the Dutch Gentlemen who first
came in this country to announce the glorious
events in Holland did not hear of the memorable
battle of Leipsic till they landed, But this tact
is highly interesting, as it shews that the spirit
of th&Dutch had r►sen to such a height that it did
not need the incitement of a triumph over the
Corsican Tyrant", in order -to rouse them into a
fietermination to throw ofr his detestablt.yoke.'..
