LA:(7.IiLATIvE TionV-011Dr.lt TNE PRESIDENCY OF
11IS EXCELLENCY THE DIME OF MASSA.
Atter the usual introductory busiaess, Count
REGNAUD DE Si% JEAN D'ANGELY Spoke as fol-
lOW'S :
GENTLEMEN,—In the two last campaigns,
without having been abandoned by victory, we
have been betrayed by tortune.
" In the first, one of those campaigns which
afflict nature hut once in a century ; hi the se-
coed, an abandoning defection of which Europe
offers few examples, have rendered sterile the
most brilliant successes. Ileppily, Gentlemen,
the Makin which hod enjoyed prosperity without
being intoxicated by it, has supported misfortune
without dejection; and after ini.VitiZ generously
in the, peueleclieg wars defended the,territories of
our liliesgoat the e:ils of war, we are peepared
courageously tobpreserve our own from. them.
" Called rountl the throne under weighty eir-
emustancee, the Emperor has yet associated you,
Gentlemen, in the views of his ldle), as in the ef-
forts of his admiuistration. I have said the views,
and not the secrets of his policy ; and in short
this policy has always been the defence and, in-
dependence of the honour, of the industry, and of
the commerce of France and her Allies.
" But nations, like governments, deeply im-
pressed; strongly pre-occupied.by the more recent
-events, forget those, more distant, keep faintly in,
their memory the first causes, lose sight of
the links. of that historic 'chain which connects
the past with the present.
" God forbid, Gentlemen,
,that I should now
describe here any past grievances, calcidat NI to -
date any minds, to rekindle any'resentments : I
do flat cell back my thoughts, 1 do net call yours ,
on the re%t e but because thatjin cacti of the pegs
in whirl! 'the reieemliteiece of it is preserved, one
can Will) certainty who have been the
provokers of the war. War Inn, existed in-Eu-
rope for twenty years; the last is connected with
the first, and is tee cuntequence of its "Jrigin. To
see to w hoot meet be imputed the Misfortunes and
the durationof the war, it will be sufficient to
refer to its cause, and to recollect that the inter-.
veils Of peace, or rather the short fences during ,
which nations have breathed; have been owing to.
this France.\ •
" The aggression did not proceed from France
neither in 1792,
.when she was invaded; neither
in the 'year Seers); when the treaty of Camillo •
Foreeo was broken ; neither in the year Eight,
w hen the Russians came across Germany and
Italy; to menace our 'frontier ; neither in the year
Ten, e Len 1,;i: Treaty of Amiens was violated ;
-
cp tit% life I.ltvAst on isr. /PANAMA
when the peace of Laneville was disavowed ;
neither at the epoch when the treaty of Preshorgh
was placed in oblivion ; neither when the engage-
ments of Tilsit were• abandoned ; neither when
the treaties of Vienna and of Paris were torn in
pieces.
" And was it not, on the contrary, France,
who, victorious and conquering, consented to the
armistice of Loeben, and the peace which follow-
en it : who vanquished at Austerlitz, but to re-
store the greater part of her conquest!, or to en-
dow thrones with them ; who lias not refused an
armistice during the war, peace daring uegocia-
' tions, neither before the treaty of Presburgb, nor
before that Vienna.
" At this moment have not' .thepeliminary
bales, proposed by the coalesced powers, beets
adopted by his M oesty, Who declares to his peo-
ple, ;4-44 univ*, tu.liis enentius„ i/sat ors his side
there are no obstacles to-► the re-establishment of
Peoee,
" These truths, Gentlemen, as fiir ns relates to
preceding wars, are consecrated by monuments
already Isezoine the invariable patrimony of his-
tory : m what 'Times to the more recent events,
they will be iwored by the documents contained
in Che'portefeuille of the, Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs, of which; his Majesty Tails n'Cornutissiop,
named from among you, to take 'cognizance.
" "Whilst negociations are going on, the coa-
lesced powers have.insisted °lithe cutitinuatiOn
bestilities.- RI that they have shewu us .the melt-
' sures which are prescribed for the safets/of the
Stele. and the-honour of the Empire. His Ma-
jests has said to 'you, Gentlemen, ' Nations can-
not treat with security except by displaying their
Whole strength.' Out already the energy which
manitests itself in till parts—the nnmeroes levies
which are motion—safficiently make known the
resolution of the ,French' Nation to maintain
the safety
,of its territory, and the honour of its
laws. •
Thirst of glory, love for the country, the
wish for its prosperity, are poesions which never
become extinct in generous lie Arts. They are a
giensintee of the zeal with whites you will associate
yourselves, Gentlemen, in the efforts of the ed.-
ministration ; to support,' by pewerful means of
defeece, the negotiations which are going to be
opened.
" Less powerful, less strong, less rich, less fruit-
ful in resources was France in the year 8, when
threateued on..the north, invaded cm the soutlm
turn in pieces its her interior, exhausted in her
finances, diserganieetl in her administration's, d
courageo in her Armies. Tee seas brought her

BOUIDRAUX," DEC. 16.-i—Letters from Bayonne
of the 14th, hire fresh details respecting the
combats which took place in the neighboorhood
towi:" the 131 h d'Erlon made
between theiNfkie.inil the Ado'nr, 4 very brisk at-
tuck. The enemy was repeatedly repulsed toga
very elevated plateau, which intersects the razed.
from St. Jean I'ied.(le-Pont. , They fought for 9
hours between these two rivers. Our trumps
evinced an heroic courage, and carried :by main
force a formidable redoubt. The young conscripts
conducted themselves excellently. The Engl:sh,
and Portuguese huye,ufiered much., A diviNion of
the former was broken.

Letters trout St. Jean de Luz say, that' the ene-
My's loss is immense, and that ,he has htid nearly
16,000 men killed or wounded. during the lilsC
five days. On the 14th the two armles observed
each other. The Doke of Dalmatia was occu-
pied in manatuvriug upon the-binks of the Atlour.
Some days ago the English attempted to op-
pose,the passage of the river to a c'otivoy of barks
going up the river, laden with provisions. Then

launches) ha ing pocteded tiavonner-:

Never was the army of the Empernr-betterdis-
posed ; and without calculating the number of
the 'enemy, they do not fear engaging in gene-
ral actions. he army greatly praises the valour
and devotion Of the Basques and Bernais, who,
like trite Frenchmen, sacrifice their private Inte-
rests to tight the enemies of their country. ,'!'List
example cannot fail to excite the enthusiasm of
the inhabitants of the South, and must induce t bent
to imitate them: it is by shewing such a determi-
nation that even the fear of danger is . kept at
distance; The enemy, depending less upon the
force of his arins than upon their _secret intrigues,
throws his frightful libel;, to the advanced posts
of the army, .which have been answered by dis-
charges of musketry.

• ErtatsstroaT, .DEC: 9.—lt i 3 retnarlied.as an ex-
traordinary circutnstaur:c, that the tteperor Alex-
older, .having appointed a Russian General GO-
yernor-Gensral ctf
,Saxonys should just have de-
clared, that all the appoiotinents of Generals and
Officers in the Saxon army should be 'at his dis-
positiOn. At the same moment, a Russian takes
ossession' of the Government of the Grand
Duchy of Berg,' and it is Ressia who complains
of the preponderance that France has exer-
cised in Germany ! .Aild it is Russia who talks
of moderation and independence ! When her,
armies were conquered at Pi iedland, the
Freurh armies were upon her frontiers ;=—what
conditions of peace did they impose on her ? .NOt
only did she lose nothing, but Prance consented,
that she should increase herterritory at the expense
of, her Ally`Prussis. Now that 'Russia .is upon
the 'Rhine. what langiu does she hold towards
France, what extoby......:' uroensions does she nos-
advance ? Let the epochs, and the cr.luner. iiiwittctt
the two powers acted, be coMpared, all people of
good faith who are in Europe will jad4e them, and
all the world be convinced that the men who boast
of their moderation are not
..the most moth:nate,
and that those who exclaim the most against aui-
bition, are not the least ambitious. •
Letters from Bremen announce, that that town
has been declared an Hanseatic town, and that
the former Magistracy have been established iii it
which would appear to confirm the report that the
Russians intended to organize. among the,mari-
time and commercial towns In Germany, •a confe-
deration, which in fact would only be an associa-
tion of factoriesicarrying.'on trade, on the ac-
count, and for the advantage of Estglisb. mer-
chants. It is 'well understood, that :.the Rus-
sians would have the potter of 'establish
ing custom-houses in those towns, to collect.

to• tleScribe the .cunsternatitin which this re-

eampaigits, of 1807, I SOD, and 181,(4,: their sdes
have heed' double to What they were between the-
years .1800 and 1 805, during which their country,
anjoyed prat-hind. peace. Thus they look 'lo6‘'ai'd
with) the utmost uneasiness to that moment whets

risons, which. block up their mouths, shall be

tire opening of those rivers ,would, afford great
pleasure to an hundred conttnission merehatits

" 'Zurich, Nor, 20.

‘, We, the Landamman of the Swiss and the
Members of the Diet of the 19 Cantons of the
Ilelvetie Confederation, to all the Confederates,
greeting :—War, the theatre of which has been
for a long time distant from us, has approached
the frontiers of our country. In. this state of
affairs it becomes our duty, as Rep resentatiyes of
the States of the Helvetic Body, to deliberate tipon
the actual situation of our native land, to make
the. necessary overtures to the Belligerent Powers,
,
and to adopt such measures as" circumstances
require, Faithful to the principles of our fa-
thers, we have, in virtue of full powers,
and' of the ' commands •of our Constituents,
unanitnoUsly declared the neutrality. of Swit-
zerland, and taken means to communicate,
agreeably to established forms, the acts relative
to this measure to the High Belligerent iowers:
The observation of a strict neutrality' has, with
the assistance tf Divine Providence, for several
qges, secured the liberty and tranquility of Swit-
zerland. Now, as heretofore, that system is re-
quisite to. our wants and ,situation: We ai-e,
'therefore desirous of maintaining,' it by all the
nittt ns. ill our power. To setae the independence
and the liberty of our country, to preserve our
present Constitntion and the integrity of our ter-
ritory,is the only but important object of all our
efforts,

Confederates of ail the States of the il,elyetic
Body, we cornontnicate to you this declaration,
made in the name ,Of our common country, .41 or-
der that each of you may cwitribnte to faeilitate
'the execution of the general plan ti:at every one
may ha,,ten to do that voluntarily which the xvei.
fare and.safety'of his country demands from him,
and to show' hintself'worthy of hisoneestors, und
cif the happiness he enjoys. Let us offer to the
Most High that tribitte of gratitude which we

'".

owe bim, for the innumerable blessings which be
bag bithyrto showcrCd upon our country, and let
recotopend.to his 'po,,verful protection the prc-
serratioil of the tranquility of Switzerland.

(Siipied) " REINHARD, Landamtuan and P:esident
of the Diet."

[Here follows the Official Act, declaring the
inviolability of Switzerland frOm the armies
which surround it, the conservation of the relations
of amity and good neighboUrhood with all States,
Its perfect neutrality, and the most scrupulous im-
purtiality toward the Belligerent Powers." In
order to maintain- this neutrality, the. Diet has re-
solved to occupy the frontiers with troops belong-
ing to the Confederation, and the act expresses a
ccmviction that " after the interest and benevo-
lence which the BAigerents have ever Ehewn to
this' country they will not-be induced, from any
Military combinations, to violate the neutrality
of alt independant people, whose existence
.only depends upon internal and external tran-
quility,. impartiality towards foreign Powers,
and perfect quiet." It" concludes with stating,
that it expects the Belligerents to give the-most
positive orders to their Generals' not to violate the
neni.ral territory of .:witzerlantl, and still less to
occupy any 'military iositiou in that country.
Signed as the prewaing, by the Landamman,
and also, by the Chatte'ellor of the Confederation.]

" Following the example of my predecessors,
who have held the Goymnment before me, I made
it my strictest duty to promote the happiness and
welfare of my subjects, and secure the integrity
of Baden. The engagements With France, into
whieb the late Grand Duke entered,, on his join-
in;; the Conledevation, of the Rhine, and which
devolved on me, I regarded as sacred, hoping, by
the pnntual performance of them, to establish the
tranquility of my people, and insure the welfare
of my country; and ° although the' hardships of
long'continued war, for which, according to my
engagements with France, I was obliged to furnish
wconsiderable body of troops to the French army,
as Well as thestoppage of all' commerce, gave se-
vere wounds to our country ; yet my sole remain-
ing consolation was, the hope that a final peace
would at length give Me, an opportunity of
,pres-
curing,,.through my endeavours, a compensation
to my people for/ all ;their sufferings. Tlie Su-
preme, Providence 'which guides the fate of na-
tions and of unities, has plucked the banner. -of
of victoryfrotnthe French :kr:o;6nd placed it in

effort to obtain peace and security for our coun-
try, which was threatened by the near approach of
the ti,eati.e of war. I endeavoured to obtain.trom
the French Emperor a neutrality fOr Baden, in
hopes that.the high Allied Powers would on their
side likewise consent to it, but the result was not
favourable to my expectation ; and as I. could not
by this means secure the tranquility of Baden, I
now, find myself impelled tO join the Powers allied
against France, and 'engaged in' 'war with her, and
thereby connect the cause of our county with

" The preservation of Baden, and the recon-•
queriug of German liberty and independerice, is
now the great object which we TflU“ strive to ob-
tain, and. which,. •in 'concert with the high Allied
Powars, 'we have the best founded hopes of s►►c--
ceediug; ht. I cannot conceal from you; that out
geographical situation, as bordering on the confines
of France, renders our State one of the most iin

pottant, when compared with that of theotherAllied.
States of Germany, and consequently requires every
sacrifice being made which the imperious necessity of

Let the great end of defending your country, and
Getman libeyty, animate every breast with sacred

you with laudable zeal, on my call, and on the mea-

voluntarily under the banners ot your country, anti

which your Baden brethren in arms have long
since set you in the field of honour. As the
friend of my people, I will share witri you
'in danger whereves' it appears, until, at
length when 'we, sh:dl have conquered the re-

MONDAY, DECEMBER 27..181;3.

Frerich Papers to the 24th are given in our -
ceding columns, and arc of great interest. The
horizon clears, and we may now safely believe
that no dangers:to Eurcipe are likely to arise from .
that state of diplomatic intercourse of which the'
Tyranchas matte the most he can., to delude the
French people into the entertainthentof hopes of
Peace. We Confess that the• impOsing language of
the Corsican had somewhat disconcerted the equi
libritun of our minds, and infused a slight and - •
:easy suspicion that he might have outwitted the
Confederates into a Congress, and by intate- •
ornate sacrifices, . got them •to suspend their
march of Victory. We could not help trem-
bling for the welfaie of ottr country, and the
safety of the' Continent when Mr. Wit Ft F.!)
and the Chrohicle praised the moderation of Mi-
nialers, and the wisdom of the • documents pi 0-
mulgated by the Allies. These fears have v,thish-
ed, thanks •he MOnsieur ST. JEAN D'..II,“;ELY
He tells us, that the Confederates have refused co
grant an armistice, and indeed we could have disco—
vered this without his help, for the refusal of the
Emperor 41,E ANDER, sub'seluent to theDeclarat ion -
of the I st• December, to 'ratify the terms, on which
Dantzig capitulated, is a convincing prOof
that
no snspenSion of active hostility, nod that
nothing like an approach to amicable relations with,
the Usurper had taken, or .was likely to take '
'place. The, steadiness of the French Funds is a,'
corroboration of the fact, that even in Paris the,
studiously dubious langnagi. of the Corsican
hail
tailed of making the desired impression on tit
popular mind, and deluding the people 'into a be-
lief (3o readily entertained by the Party in this
Country) that War was about to cease, • and Nu-
