The measures of defence are continued on ail sides
with an unexampled ardour. The service of the
troops of the line which axe at Dijon is performed
with the greatest exactness. The soldiers, wno are
well armed, exercise daily ; a great number of zea-
lous citizens have offered then selvei'to march ; a great
number of military Fiersons who had returned, ar-
dently request permission to resume their arm
LANCIRES, JANUARY a.
A citizen of this Arrondissement has just arrived
here from the Department of the tipper Rhine. He
was at Mulhouse at the time the enemy entered it.-
4ccording to the account he brings, Befort and Hu-
nmgen held out vigorously. The enemy had desisted
from bombarding these places, and the siege is con-
verted into a blociade. it is the same with Brisack
'ind.Schefestadt. The allied troops from Mulhouse
to Schelestadt aro estimated at 0,000 Alen. On the
side of the valley of St. 4maun, only some Cossacks
,E'ave passed, who have not advanced beyond Reme-
remant, Their last piquet, on the side of fkfort,
had not advanced farther than Froy. 411 that was
in these environs, aid in the Porentruy, has fallen
'back upon Colmar.
This traveller, who speaks German extremely well.
conversed with several officers who were at Mulhouse,
and it appear: from the conversation, that the enemy
has an extreme fear of the levt en masse, and that
this fear 'induces them to march With care. They
advance with precaution, and are persuaded that 14
Emperor is collecting all his forces to attack them.
They, however. bestow on our infantry and cavalry
the greatest praises.
Their infantry .is very young ; their eavajry is
better,• but ours. is superior both with ',tett to snan
and horses. Every body in Alsace agrees in saying
that the Emperor, even if he had one half less troops
than the enemy, would beat them completely, espe-
cially being seconded by the Masse. jt is very cer-
tain that the. Allies 'are afraid of the leeks of National
Guards, and that they only advance 111 large columns

FLORENCE, DECEMBER 29.
Tice Neapolitan troops who were in this city, all

Bologna and the Po. They ;manifest an ardent de-
sire to meet the common enemy and try their strength'
with him, in quality of allie% of the Emperor, the
honourable title which the Emperor deigned to give
them; in his noble and touching discourse to the Le-
gislative Body.
The troops, during their stay at Florence, behaved
t!Pmselves with much order and good discipline,
merited the praises of the inhabitants.
General Filangiere, who commands them, has die-

of one vast plan, which even extends the principle of

the French force, weak in numerical strength, seems
mix tendered still weaker from its total want of
anion and mutual support. We hear of ihrcann at
Antwerp, KELLERMAN at Metz, MORTIER at Chau-
