BASLE, AUGUST 17.

The siege of Huninguen will probably draw many
foreigners to Basle and the environs. The place is
very strong, surrounded with wide and deep ditches,
which the height of the Rhine has allowed to be filled
with water, and the approaches are unJermined. Not-
withstanding the smallness of the place, this will cer-
tainly be a memorable siege. A company of miners
has just arrived at the Austrian camp.
Last night a considerable quantity of very heavy
artillery was brought up before Huninguen.
General Barbenegre yesterday solicited an inter-
view with the Hungarian General Mariassi, who at
present commands the blockade. It took place the
same day between General Barbenegre and the Com-
mandant of Bourg Libre; we know not what has
been the result.

This eveninvat six o'clock. the siege of Huningen
will be commenced by a general bombardment on all
sides. By order of the Diet 5000 Swiss troops will
assist in the siege. These troops are destined to attack
the fortress from the right bank of the Rhine.

RATISSON, AUGUST ie.
The Austrian regiment of light horse. which. lie
iti route frnm Ulm to Echingen, received orders to
return to the hereditary dominions, came hem yes-
terday. It will depart to-morrow for Austria.

VIENNA, AUGUST It
After accounts received to day from the Imperial
head-quarters, the numerous suite that is to aural
her Majesty the Empress to the coronation at Milan,
has received orders to-be ready to depart at a nie•
ment's notice, whence it is presumed that her Majesty%
departure is at hand. The festivals on the marriages
of the Archdukes Charles and Joseph will take Pk"
after their Majesties return.
Captain Jetter, of the Staff, who left Paris on the
Si," with dtipatches from Prince Schwartzenberg,
brought orders to the Anlic Council of War to stop
the recruiting in the whole Mon Archy, to discharge
all the Landwelir, and to disband the reserves. He
had likewise orders with him to all the regiments upcu
their march to return to their cantonments. To this
eod he shewed to all the regiments marching by the
military road through Bavaria, an open order fon!
Prince Schwartzeitberg, upon which all these regi-
ments immediately began their march home. On tae
other hand, all the heavy artillery to be employ ed In
sieges must proceed 6y forced marches to the Rhine.
This news, which promises a speedy conclusion of
peace, bad a very favourable effect on the Exchange•
which in the evening was at SI& The Emperor was
expected to set out for Milan on the 26th.

&surly as on the 19th of May lists of those not

Oar Correspondent at Paris after allud;ng to
FOOCHIN Report respecting the state of. France, as
an authentic document which conveys a pretty cor-
rect view of the feelings of the itdiabitants,
adds—
•• This state of things has not improved since s on
the contrary the complaints increase, nor is it sur.
prising when the necessary consequences of the pre-
sence of invading armies ate duly considered. I
have travelled through that part of France which is
the least oppressed, being occupied by the English
and the Russians, yet I have myself witnessed and
experienced some of the calainicies.Snd humiliations
of oppression. You will be surprised to be informed
that, while travelling in the vicinity of Paris, in the
public Diligence, a column of Prussians several
times spit into the carriage, as they passed, by way
of derision and contempt, and that none of their
Officers attempted to prevent it 3—perhaps they durst
not. The best of the joke was that there was but one
Frenchman in the carriage: the 'rest were one Spa-
niard, one Prussian, and three Englishmen.
N Such conduct raises in the breast of man an un-
extinguishable volcano. What, however, chiefly
frightens and enrages the French is, that the Allied
Powers, as they assert, while they pursue such a line
of conduct as they might be expected to adopt, were
it their intention to convert the country into a vast
desart, avoid giving the leasi hint of their ulterior
plans and intentions. I am well assured that up to
last Thursday night, the King's Ministers were in
absolute ignorance of 'what the Allies meant to do.
• it is t iis uncertainty (say the French) that appals
• us all, and which concentrates in our bream such
I sentiments of indignation and despair as may produce
4 fatal consequences, if we are reduced
,to the last
• extremity.?
0? 1 can assure you (and mark my words) that the

Ws, there Will be but our parsi; and that will be for
the K kng.-7.asdfir the e. eon. try.
The Press is here in atiVolute slavery, but the
Parisians, and probably with good reason, acquit the
kuaG of all blame, and ascribe the restraint to the
Allies, particularly the Continental.
44 The Birth-chiy of the KING, considering the de-
presied state Gf the public mind, was kept in a way
that would have pleased the mist loyal B. atm.—
There were, it is true, no public fire-works—no public
illuminations, the KING, from a consideration of the
burdens of his people, having forbid them ; but the
popular joy and loyalty, down to the lowest shop.
keeper, were really enchanting. The Fauxbourg St.
Antoine, in particular, distinguished itself on the oc-
casios."

By Gentlemen of hc 'tour, character, and rank in
society, just returned from Paris, we have been in-
formed and assured of the truth of what follows :
Though the Paris Journals, for obvious reasons, say
very little, or rather are silent respecting the manner
its which the Parisians, and the French in general are
amazed by the Germans, especially the Prussians and
Bavarians, the reports we have heard through the
channel of private correspondence, on that subjects
are far from being exaggerated. Not only do the
Prussians take victuals and drink, but whatever else
they have a mind to, without the smallest idea of
paying for them, but very frequently give vent to
their hatred and vengeance against the whole Gallic
race by insulting the Ktrao and otherwise maltreating
individuals, who. it would seem, dare not to make
any complaints, and whose complaints, if they were
made, as they seem to think, would belittle regarded.
The insolence and outrages of the French in Ger.
many are severely retaliated. Never was a people
more humbled that deserved so well to be humbled.
We say that deserved so well to be humbled ; for the
Christians are. or were formerly, perhaps. still more
humbled by the Turks and other Mahomedin powers,
but then they did not so well deserve it.

It is to be regretted that this vengeance should All
on innocent and unoffending individuals: but national
vengeance is not, and cannot, be discriminative; and
to say the truth, there is such an intolerable degree
of presumption and arrogance ih the. character of
Frenchmen of all contist;ons, that if this vice could
be corrected, this distemper cured, by a little chastise-
nient, the remtdy, perhaps, should not be aknether
neglected.

It is well known to the Whole people, that in ail
things.—war, literature, science, taste, and refinement
in the modes of life, &c. Ste. the French have hitherto
affected to be the first of nations. In opinions, semi
menu, pursuits. and modes of life, it is. or was, the:t
great passion to give the tone to al dick neighbours.
was the avowed plan of the French, even before
the reins of Government were committed into the
hands of Boxetran'ra, to settle all the States and
Kingdoms of Europe in a kind of system under the
sway, the preponderating influence, and presidency
of France. Other Powers were to be subordinate
parts of one Empire. We have aß:en printed Plans
or sketches of such a system, prepared for the consi-
deration of the ruling 'Powers, if we recollect rightly,
HAUTKRI%* published certainly not against
the will of Government. In different French publi.
cations we have met with the position, that the
FreilCil were the Aristocracy( of Nations."
One of the persons from whom we have received
recent intelligence, was travelling, a few days ago,
in a coach from Paris, on the road to Calais. The
coach had to p4sss by a detachment of Prussian foot
artillery, on the same route. Two or three of the
artillery-drivers gave lashes with their whips to the
postilions, who drove cat without saying a word, 'or
so much at looking about them.

Louts XVIII. is considered by all aka mere pup-
pet in thedrama—a mere nullity, for the present:—
Tomes and TALLiTRAND are the 'Administrators,
the party with whom the Allies aegociate,• and to
whom the Allies dictate, or certainly may dictate.
A venerable Bishop, who has resided for many
years in England, had occasion to be lately in France
uncertain affairs relating to his family : he declined
attendance at Court, or, in oilier words, the Levies
of the Ministers, but went privately to pay his ho-.
:stage to the good King, whom he •had been in the
habit of vi►iting, as was natural, when in England.
The King asked him when he was to come back to
reside in France ••••66 I will come to France (replied
the Bishop) when your Majesty is on the Throne.
This is not France."

Intercourse must necessarily be kept up between
the English Ministers Lord CatATLICKIAGII and the
Duke of WaLLlNotrost, and the French Ministers
Fouctalt and TALMUD AND. But Lord CASTLE/16AM!
avoids social or convivial intercourse with them.

A Lady of high quality invited Lord CAITLERRAOH
to an entertainment at her house, where he would
meet, among others, with th• Duke of OTRANTO.
His Lordship politely declined the invitation, but
made no s.cruple to tell her the reason. The Duke
of WRIAINGTON lives' with the French Minister in
social habits. We neither censure Lord CASTIARZAOII
nor condemn the Duke of WELLINQTON.

• It is a maxim, derived from all political history,
ancient and modern, that illegal violence, whatever
its pretences and whatever its object, must inevitably
end in an arbitrary and despotic government. Titer:
is a constant circle from tyranny and oppression,
