REPORT TO HIS MAJLISTY THE EMPEROR AND KING.

SIRE—I have the honour to lay before your Ma-
jesty the dispatches of your Legation at Berne, con-
sidering that the territory and neutrality of Switzer-
land have been violated by the Allies. I subjoin the
letter broughtby Messrs. Ruttiman and trielind, En-
voys ExtraorAinary from the Swiss Diet, and your
Majesty's answer, confirming the recognition, already
made by your Ministers, of the neutrality of Swit-
zerland.

0, While those Envoys presented to your Majesty
the letter they brought, other Envoys repaired to the
Allied Sovereigns, a; Frankfort, who promised to re.
cognize the neutrality of Switzerland,•and IV Com
mauder in Chief of their armies every where gave or,
ders to repeat it.
Confiding in these promises and orders, the Swiss
lr.id limited their precautions to the placing of a mere
cordon.

1. Your Majesty had no troops on that frontier,
wishing to' remove every idea of the neutrality of
SWitzetland being in danger on that side,
• 44. But the Allies have not only violated the nen
tralitT of Switzerland, they have sent M. de Senft to
Berne, to require that this country shall
_renounce the
act of mediation, the consequences of which bs's foi
these ten years rendered it-so happy. M. de Sentt
accompanied this siemand with the declaration that
the Allied Army was going to enter Switzerland.
At the same moment M. Bubna summoned the
troops of the Confederation to evacuate their posts.-
tiie of BAle was forced, and the 41lied Army
entered at differein points.

9 Dy•violating in chic, manner tht territory of a
peaceful people and its neutrality, which Europe has
respected for three centuries, the Allies themselves
have given the standard of the coafidetice which their
promises merit, and skew what is in fact the respect
which they profess for the rights of nations.

sr Slit.—Yesterday morning General Bubna had a
conference with Colonel fluiertchward, who com-
mands the Swiss troops from 1341 e to Lauffenhoorg;
and declared to him, that the Allied Army, 160,000
strong, wculd enter Switzerland in the night of ..the
20th, by Bale, Rhenteld, and ote.n. t•-':
It is said that Colonel Hitren-chward was requi,',

BESANCON, DECEMBER 24.

According to letters from Basle, which we hairs
:his instant received, General Bubna had yesterday a
conference with Colonel Herenschward, who com-
mands the Swiss tfoops. He declared to hint that
die Allied Army; 160,000 men strong, would enter
Switierland in the night, between the 20th mid 21st
I); Basle, Rhenfeld, and Stein.
They announce, that on the 25th 10,000 men
principally cavalry, will arrive at Berne, andtat soon
after two similar columns will pass on their march
to Geneva.

We learn, by letters from Leuzbourg, dated the
!Ist, that -20,000 men have entered Switzerland, by
Lausenbourg column of from sto 6000 men has
entered betweeen Rhenfeld and Basle,' where they-
threw a bridge over the Rhine; from 20 to 30,000
eren have passed along the bridge at Basle 5000 ca-
valry are at Zurich. The force of the Allies which
ins taken part in this movement is estimated at
160,000 men. These troops entered Switzerland
without a musket having been fired ; the greater part
of the people is ashamed of such a conduct.

TFIURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1814.
ErtiitAxV,Holidaq at the Stock Exceitate.

Paris Papers to the 2d instant have arrived—they
are more important than usual. They announce to
the French nation the important fact of the irrupti in
of the Allies into France. CAULAINCOURT, who is
still in full'activity as a negotiator, (a proof of the
mild and pacific disposition of BONAPARTE) reports
that the Allies have marched 160000 men through
'Switzerland to the invasion of France : he accuses
them of breaking the Swiss cordon of neuttality, al-
though they had promi§ed to recognize it. But three
is altb something suspicious to CAULINCOURT in the
cnnduct of the Swiss themselves; they did not make
any apposition to the invasion=naY, they even sent
44 Intriguers" to 'Frankfort on the subject ; side Qf
these was Aims REDING, of patriotic celebrity, and
we firmly believe he gent to Frankfort to invite the
itivadert. We said so at the time—the 'French Pa-
pets now admit it: The Swiss in fact only wanted
an etotise to t.:.ke up arm§ against France. CAU•
LAIECOURT, in deflating the most eminent men among
them to be " Intriguers," has furnished an ettellent
one. We inay now expect daily to hear that the
Swiss are added to the number of those nngrateftil
nations Who disown the title of BONAPARTE as the
Great Pacificator
But the, most extraordinary, and certainly not the
least gratifying, documents which the French Papers
present us, are thdse which describe the terror, the
dismay, and confusion which pervade the minds of
BOLVARTE•And his retinue, when they contemplate
Illseir present situation.
In the report of CASIRACEREI respecting the :sego-
ciations, he says, that "the events of the war having
led Baron ST..AIGEAU to the head-quarters—of the
Allies. (in equivoiarivay of telling us that he' was
sent expressly for the purpose of supplicating peace),
ifehad an interview with the Russian and Austrian
Ministers ; at which the Earl of Aberdeen was pre
sent. At this meeting a basis was presentei to the
French Negotiator, and, if we are to believe CA:sr-
"scenes, it was acceded to by 130NAPARTE. There
was something of the mot/cafe/es; however, in his ac-
ceptance. So Count METTERNICH thought, and he
was iri the right : it was, in fact, the French word
eelisttion, which he did aot like. We pointed out this
chicanery to out Readers in a former Paper, when
commenting upon the expression ot J'adlaeri, in Bo-
NAPARTE'S speech.
The moderation displayed iu the Frankfort decla-
ration, terrifies the French Government even more
thaft the advance of the Allies : they writhe under
dreadful agonies when they touch upon the personal
allusions made to BONAPARTE in that document, and
remind the Allied Sovereigns that he is a King late
themeelves ! How the Emperor ALEXANDER, the King
of PRUSSIA, and the Emperor of AUSTRIA, will take
this comparison we know not. None ot the subjects of
a British Sovereign will ever subscribe to it we hope.
Themost deplorable part of the picture is presented
to us in the reiterated supplications and unmeasured
whininis for peace uttered by the French regicides.
Sometimes they call upon the French people to fight
for k ; afterwards they alternately beseech the CROWN
/PRINCE and the Emperor of AUSTRIA to.grant it to
them ; and frequently they breathe a spirit of contri-
tion, which would excite compassion, if displayed by
any other persons. But amiast all these professions
they cannot conceal' their animosities against Great
Britain and her Allies. It was but a few days ago,
that its a speech about peace, one of the babbling
French orators spoke about the Emesitott's thirst for
glory being never extinguished ; and to-day FONTA,Nr.s
darkly hints at former triumphs. He tells those-who
will believe him, that Fortune never deserts those
t w)so are true to themselves ; and that the present tot-
tering state of the Emperor NAPOLEON'S throne is a
!Mere,“ passing cloud,'-which obscures for a while
his former victories.—Let the Allies and their nego-
'amens reflect upon these insinuations.
The financial distresses which the French Govern-

meat now suffers are forcibly depicted in BONA-
PA tries Decree. It is the very " abstract and brief
chronicle" of the system of terrorism by which he has
been so long upheld. Commissioners are to visit the

Peace may now be obtained with France. The
Allies have conqUered it! and. they have in their
own hands the means to make it secure. They have
followed, and with success, the only mode of nego-
ciating a lasting Peace, which was left to them—
They write the terms with the point of the sword—
the only instrument that can be binding with such
ruffians as now pieside over the hopes of the French
pebple.

The cohtetts of kilt French pipers had a consi-
derable influence on the private bargains in the Funds
