The patrole passing along-the skirts of a wood;
heard a noise, and cried, " Who goes there !" 'it
was only aristveresl by being fired upon. It in-
stantly returned the hie, and the two parties cons
tinued to fire for an hour and a half in the dark,
tilt at last the French evacuated the wood. At the
repOrt of the musketSy, inhabitants of the
neighbourhood assembled and took up arms.
This affair, in which we had not one man woand-
ed, does honour to the Argoviana and Vaudois.
Since the 30th of April the Swiss head-quarters
'bay° been transferred to Morat. It is affirmed
that the General in Chief intends to form three
camps at Yverdun, at Arburg, and at .Liestal. It
was also said that the half of the second contin-
gent would he put in motion ; so, that, with the
regiments returned from France, we should have
on foot an army of 48,000 men. ••
As the Frenal continue to augment their forti-
fications on the side of Basle, batteries are to be
erected there on the side of St. John's gate.
GHENT, May. 12:—The' Journal Universe, of
this date, contains, under the head elf,Cirbent, May
9, a report upon the state of France, made to the
King in Council by Viscount de Chateaubriand,
Minister Plenipotentiary from his Most Christian
Majesty to the Court of Sweden.
This report fills 16 columns of the Journal and
Supplement. It iS, divided into heads. 1 Acts
and decrees for the interior. 2. Exterior. 3. Res
proaches made to tke Royal Government. 4. Spirit
of the Government. This report begins thus:
" Sire—The only misfortune which still threa-
tened Europe, after so many miseries, has come
to pass. The Sovereigns, your august Allies, be-
lieved that they could with impunity be magna-
nimous towards a man who knows neither the
value of generous-conduct, nor the religious ob-
servance of treaties. These are the errors which
proceed from elevation of character : an up-
right soul judges but ill of meanness and 'artifice
.;"
and the saviour of Paris could not comprehend the
destroyer of Moscow. •
" Buonaparte, placed by a strange fatality be-
tween the coasts of France and Italy; has 'come
like Genserie, whither the anger of God called him.
The hope of all that had committed, and of all
that meditated a crime, be came—he succeeded.
Men loaded with your gifts, their breasts cover-
ed with yoisr orders, kissed in the morning the
royal hand, which in the evening they betrayed.
Rebellions subjects, had Frenchmen, faithless
knights, while the oaths they had taken to you
had scateely expired on their lips, they went with
the Lilly on*their breast to swear, as I may say, a
perjury to him who so often declared himself &-
traitor, a felon, and disloyal."
The:conclusion is as follows
" One would say, that Buonapartc, the sport
of all that surrounds• him, takes counsel only of
the moment—a si4ve, to that destiny ‘vhish he
'formerly appeared to command. Licentioosness
reigns at Paris, anarchy in the provinces, the civil
and military authorities combat each other. Here
the people. threaten to burn the chateaus, and
flag, and cry Live leßoi! but, in the midst of
these disorders, time advances, and events hasten
to their developement. All Europe is arrived on
the frontiers of France—every people has taken •
its part in this army of nations—they wait but for
the last signal. What will the author of so many
calamities do ? If he quits Palk, will Faris remain
tranquil ? If he dues not join his soldiers, swill
his soldiers fight without bins ? Success may
change his fortune ? No ; a Swiss would hardly
retard his fall. Can he, besides, expect success ?
Buonaparte is already vanquished in Murat. An
appeal has been made to the passions of the people
of Italy, and those 'people have replied by a cry of
loyalty. l'eay the French imitate their example;
may they abandon the scourge of the earth to the
justice of Heaven. Alt, Sire, letsus hopco that,
disarmed by the prayers of the sun of St. Louis,
the God of battles may spare the blood of our, un-;
happy country. You will preserve to France,--for
her happiness, the remains of that blood which
she has too much lavished for • her glory. The
moment approaches when your Majesty will reap
the fruit of your virtues and your sacrifices—
when, under the shade of the white flag, the- na-
tion will at length enjoy that repose after Which
they" sigh, and which they have so dearly earned."
Bausser.s, MAY 15.—The Cures of Paris, eager
to give an example of the fidel%ivtoy i(ljunelyteoxocielpr
law-
ful have refused (t
ted),
to take the oath to the Usurper. The good effect
this has had on the people may be imagined.
The French troops about Conde„alanbewse
and Valenciennes have made a movement' towards
on the froatiers of West
Philippeville and Giver,
Flanders : the French seem to be alarmed, having
broken down the bridges over all the rivers (livid-
ing the two countries.

The insurrections against Murat extend to the
gates of Naples. The army is a quiet spectator
of these disorders.

those On Menil-Montant, at St. Chaumont, Belle-
ville, and the heights of Charonne, arc going
oil with activity. This day there are 1800 work-
men employed. It appears that particular circum-
stances have thwarted the arrangements Made for

the purpose of increasing their number : to-mor-
row, however, it will be augmented.
Muns. Girhrd, Inspector-General of bridges,
&c.- has this day caused the works for the Cai►al
of St. Dennis to be commenced, to which part.of
the water of the Canal de I.(Eurcq is to be contri-buted, for comniunicqtion. with the town of St.

will be awned.—Trains of artillery are in motion
in all direetions.—(Monileur.)
