PAM'S, SAN. 9 Decree has been published
, •
tharnberi, by Fittbt-, the Prefect of the De-
pavement of
.Mount Blanc; for the
„
,purstiantAto the ovners of the zmper'or,-to repulse
tr. impede the invasion: of the enemy. , _
Zn
this arret4 it is said, that 'as there is tot in
the Department a good FienChman and a good,
60-Leo who ought not to cotscttr with his persbn,
and all his means, to save his -country from -fo=
reign domination, from ruin and the outrages of
every kind with which it is threatened ; all the
good citizens capable of-bearing arms,; as snon as
this comes to their knowledge, are to .present
themselves to the Maires of their respective com-
twines, to. express their readiness volaztarily to
concur in the defence of the/territory: They are
to chose a Chief. The Maims are to draw ,up
lists of the names of all who shall offer themselves
as volunteers. The volunteers are to furnish
themselves with arms, and supply the defect of-
the customary kinds by pikes, and any other wea-
pons which may he judged proper. The detach
ents formed in the cantons in consequende this
arrer6, are to consider themselves as so many corps
of pea eizaris. They are to surprize convoys and
depots, ca,..ry off parties Which the enemy may
send out for discovery, to intercept correspond-
ence ; in a word, to arrest, the progress of the
enemy, to diminish his resources, and intimidate
hit by every means. Whatever these detach-
ratites can take ft .m 1 the enethv is to appertain to
them as an encouragement. -The Maires of the
tlifierent Cantons-ore to be careful to prevent any
abuses in the movements of this auxiliary militia.
This arrete it is added, has already produced
the happiest effects ; the . citizens eagerly present
themselves-on all tides at the' first call of their .
nnigisttates, and a great number of retired officers
have come formitd to offer their services.

DASLE, JAN. 3.—The Helvetic Diet precipi-
tately assembled at Zurich. In this extraordinary
meeting', rendered necessary by the urgency of
•cireumstances, the general opinion was against
every disposition which should tend to Modify the
form 'of the Government. The Diet determined
that Print-e Schwartzenberg should he written to,
for theparphse of informing him, that the will of
Switzerland was not to submit -to any change-in
the division of its territory, except at the point of
the bayonet,-and to declare. to that General, that
the reunion -of the- Cantons of Vaud and of Ar-
, -ie -to that of Berne, would be contrary to the
general ‘vili of the Confederation, which intend-
ed to preserve the *basis of its present organiza-
tion.- Colonel Hauser, Adjutonit to the Landam-
tuar., set out iornediately to carry the letter of
the Diet to the Prince Schwartzenberg. It is
considered as-eertaiii in Switzerland, that the vio-
latini of the neutrality has not been agreed to

gERINLIN PAPERS.

[orudiNAL.)

The latest accounts we have from Dantzic is,
that the Keys of the Fortress were to,be given to
the. Besiegers on the 24th -December, that being
the Birth-clay of the Emperor ALEXANDER,, and
that the City was to be completely esltTlated on
the Ist of J►}nuary. TheTown_ capitulated after
the trenchis had been opened only 26 ,days, and
upon this event, tl►e Berlin-Papers triumphantly
quote the. Noniteur of the 26th January last,
which says, " Dautzig is now impregnable ;
30,000 of the best troops are there colleCted, under
the command of excellent Geuerals. The Gover-
nor, General RAP?, IS a ;brave and undaunted
soldier. A great number of officers of engineers
and artillery ore with the garrison, and the place
is amply provided for two years."

BERLIN, GAZETTE; DEC. 1 I.—A private letter
from Paris has the following passage :—" Of po-
• Utica! matters we can say nothing, ds such corn-
muniCations are attended with too much danger;
we know-but little, indeed no more than- it.is
thought fit we should ,know. The twenty stand
of colours captured at Wuhan, Leipzig, and,
, .
Hanau, and brought hither, ify triumph, occa-
sioned no small joy; but we sincerely lament the
loquacity of some Officers who were in. the above-
mentioned engagements, and have had the impu-
dence to assert that these colours must have been
taken out of some church, or been removed from
Mentz, or found somewhere else, as it is always
customary when any colours have been taken
from the enemy to make known the circumstance
to the whole army on.the following day, at latest ;
whereai they never heard a word of these twenty
stand till they arrived at I:3,r;c. and hfsLides all
those battles were not all calculated for taking
colours. These imprudent reasoners were fOrth-
with apprehended, and will certainly be punished
as they deserve for daring to call its question
such manifest truths."
In the last war betweeen France' and Austria
the gamson of the fortress of Saxongang, in the
county of Presburg, consisting of 330 men, ca-
pitulated, after a resolute defence, tO Marshal

Oudinot, and on condition that it should be al-
lowed to march out with all the honours of war.
It had already left the place, when Napoleon de-
clared that no capitulaton could be: concluded
without his approbation. 'The brave little bond
was denied permission to return to the fortress,
but plundered, and carried away as prisoners of
war.

BERLIN GAZETTE, DEC. 16.—A public print re-

ates, on the authority of a letter from Ilanau,

that when that town was .cane-maded by the
French, -the Prefect applied to the Emperor Na-
poleon, and entreated him to spare it. ThevEtn.
peror immediately asked if the bombardment had

done the place any harm. Being answered in the
affirmative, he rejoined, " It is only a punishment
which you have richly deserved for your loud ac-
clamations on the arrival of the Bavarians ; I am
going to cross the Rhine, and shall leave you to
your fate : but we shall soon see one ano►her
again, and have a little more talk on this sub-
ject."

Prisoners who pass through the Hanoverian
dominions confiim what we hav6 already heart]
from several Generals and Officers of the General
Staff taken at Leipzig, that the inveterate hatred
of Napoleon against the Army of North Ger-
many, commanded by the Crown Prince. of
,Sweden, was the principal cause of his continued
irresolution, and of the many error& by which he
sacrificed great part of his army, artillery, and
baggage, and the relic of his military reputation.
The annihilation of the 41rniy of the Crown Prince
was the positive order given by him to the Gene-
rals whom he successively sent to be defeated by
that Army, and the usual expression of that un-
reasonable antipathy which had become his ruling
passion. When certain intelligence was received
that the Emperor' Napoleon was on the left bank
of the Elbe, the Army of North Germany advanc-
ed from the Saale to attack him. Confounded at

E.XTRACT OF A .LETTER FROM THE CORPS BESIEG-

ING GLOGAII, NOV. 29.

Since the sortieof the Bth and 10th, the ene-
my has been quiet, excepting the diversion ,which
he daily takes in firing aftier our cavalry reliefs.
The' desertion from the fortress continues without
interruption ;
.20 or 30 men frequently come at
once, and among these there are not rarely of-
ficers. The Commandant yesterday dismissed 1875
unfortunate half-starved inhabitants from the
fortress : from these and from vleseiters we learn;
that the last two sorties cost the enemy SOO men
killed and wounded. So early as the middle of
October, 700 inhabitants were turned out of the
place.

. The garrison begin to matt* great wants ; each
soldier. is confined to half a pound of horse-flesh
and three quarters of a pound of bread per day,
without vegetables ; and the men have long been
without spirits. The
.French only and the sick
are allowed fresh meat. Many hoyseshlve been
killed and salted. The Frankfurters, Hessians,
and Croats; are desirous of capitulating ; but the
Commandant has hitherto found means to console
them with the hope of indemnification for their
hardships. Iu Oetober and November upwards
of 900. died the hospitals.
WArtsvv, DEC. 4.7--The fortress of Zomose
and Modlin capitulated on the 22d" and 25th of
November, and have been taken possession of by
Russian troops. The garrisons of both are' pri-
soneri of war. Near.24o pieces of cannon, and
a great quantity of ammunition, fell into the
hands of the conquerors, His Majesty the Era-
pergr has been pleased to, grant an amnesty to the
Polish troops, and permit them to return to their
families : the French, on the contrary, will be
conducted into the interior of R.tissia ; but the
F.axons and Wurtemburgers, as Allies, will be
Set at. liberty,--on which t abject farthey com-
mancli:are expected from his

The gafrison of Zamosc was latterly reduced to
the most disguiting fare. It amountcd to 1400
men, with 900 sick.
