SWITZERLAND, JULY 30.
there is A parley going on with Hunin-
guen. We are impudent for the result of this nego-
ciation. The foliowing is the Ptoclaniation which
the. Diets addressed to the inhabitants of Lower Un-
cc wall:

44 There has bee* formed among you, a party
which, by the most culpable abuse of the spirit of li-
berty, by seduction and false imputations, has severed
you from the confederation and alliance of your faith-
!ul follow-countrymen.
Nnt eoirented with audaciously and scornfully
breaking the most respectable ties of the engagements
formed by our fathers and cemented by their blood,
this party allows itself to persecute those among you
who deplore this separation from their brethren, to
keep down by threats the free manifestation of kgiti-
m..te sentiments it has the boldness to trouble by its
arm ..nents, peaceable neighbours, and even to com-
promise by its connections with the enemies of public
order i.e different cantons, the tranquillity of the Hel-
vetic body.
_ _ _

In tins state of things we cannot remain indiffe-
rent : the good of the country requires from us ener-
getic measures, and we think it our duty, inhabitants
of Lowe. lindens-aid, to aequaint you with their ob-
ject, with all the loyalty of the Swiss character.
46 It is not to nialciNvar upon an ancienteo-estate,
it is not to do any violence to you, peaceful inhabi-
tants of the mountains, that we have made military
arrangements: these are but measures of safety and
precautif in. Our ancient attachment to you still lives
an our hearts ; and it is with profound affliction that
we see you torn from our alliance by men actuated
by passion.
64 But we will prove to these men that their con.
duct is not indifferent to us; these men, who govern.
you by terror, hinder you from enjoying the•tights
and liberties which you have inherited from yoar an-
cestors, by troubling the deliberations of the Com-
mune by violent xenes, conceal from the sovereign
people the most impertant objects, and arbitrarily
dispose of your fate.
44 We cannot permit that the Communes and in-
habitants of your country, who are animated by true
patriotism, should be ill treated, that the spirit of
disorder which misleads your Chiefs should spread
farther ; that they should disturb your neighbours,
and keep up dangerous connection. It is solely to
hinder these evils that we cause troops to march to
your frontiers.
4. You will learn by this that the Swiss united are
resolved to maintain their compact, that they have
the power and the will to defend, as well against in-
testine divisions as against foreign dangers.
44 On the 7th of next month the Representatives of
all the Members of -the Confederation will confirm,
by a sacred oath, according to the venerable usage of
our forefathers, our federal-alliance' fotuided on an-'
cent compacts. Lower Underwald alone, we say it
with grief, will remain a stranger to this solemnity of
the fit:: Helvetian. •

" At the same time that we desire, by declaring li
the object of our military preparations to tranquillize
the good inhabitants of Lower . Underwald, we are
obliged to declare, ,that we impose a severe personal
verrusibility upon the well-known and ill-famed
citeti of the party which governs in that country, for
au the cealsequences of their conduct, and above all,
for any ih trezitment which• they shall exercise towards
the Coonnunes, inhabitants, or other members of the
Cooled. ration, who are animated with a generous
:Swiss spirit.
Jday you, unfortunate inhabitants of Lower Un
derwald, at length open your eyes to your situation,'
to Cie ceinpequeiices of your separation from the Hel-
vetic Body, and recognize at the same time the sin-
cerity the gold intentions of yuur ancient brethren
and con? ederates to wards you.

AIX-LA.CHAPEI.LE, AUGUST 3.
We learn that the fortress of Longwy has surren-
dered to the Russian army.
All Germany is full of indignation at the ridicu-'
lons pretensions of the French papers, that the treaty
of Paris should consecrate the integrity of France.
To what purpose then, is it asked, have torrents of
English and Prussian blood flowed in Belgium
BRUSSELS, AUGUST 6.

His Majesty left this capital yesterday to return to
the Hague.
The town of Marienburg surrendered on the 28th
to his Royal Highness Prince Augustus or Prussia,
on the same terms as Maubeuge and Landrecies did
before AirJa-Chapelle. •
AIMUST 2.—Our accounts from the Prussian army
come down to the 28th of July, on which day Mar-
' Aral Prince Blucher's head-quarters Were at Ram-
bonnier. The army extended its posts beyond the
Loire, and enjoyed the greatest tranquillity. The
combats which tt was pretended had taken place have
no foundation in truth, nothing of the kind has hap-
papa since the entry of the Allies into Paris. Some
irial free corps have indeed sheared themselves here
sad thete; but their exploits are rather calculated to
intimidate the ixelagy people than warriors who re.
Bard, with the contempt which they merit, these
hordes will& ere the remains of the school of Bona-
parte. Military tattaanses have been adopted in corn-

mon against these bands. Wherever sueh unlicensed
soldiers are taken with arms in their hinds, justice is
done them by decorating them with the order of merit
appropriated to banditti• and hanging them up on
the first tree.

GERMAN LE7IER FROM BRUSSELS.
(Concluded from the BTea of Yesterday.)
How great soever the number of killed and woun-
ded in a battle may be, yet as compared with the
amount of the armies engaged, it may generally be
pronounced moderate. • However murderous our ar-
tillery are, yet their operation is inconsiderable, as
relative to the great number of rounds. At the battle
of Leipsic, probably only about one in the 100 of
cannon and cartridge balls fired, took effect. The
battle of Waterloo was more sanguinary from the
smallness of the field of battle. Probably every 6th
man fell in it. The disorder of a battle generally first
originates with the runaways, who fly from an int-
preuion that all is lost, and who bawl this out to
others in order to excuse their own flight. Although
the Prussian army, on the 16th, retreated only half a
league from Ligny, yet shoals of fugitives passed
through Liege and Aix la Chapelle. spreading uni-
versal alarm. I fell in with some of them 25 leagues
fr3m the field of battle ; they asserted, that the French
were within a mile of 13i ussels, and their light troops
already in the suburbs. On the 18th so early as five
in the afternoon, French runaways came to the inn
at (2natre Bras, who had fled from the field even at
the time when circumstances seemed very favourable
to them. The idea of being cut off operates very
strongly upon men ; should it get possession of the
mass, then all order is lost, and the army destroys
itself. Hence may be explained the great defeat of the
French on the 18th. In Genappe there was nothing
but pell-mell confusion, and they suffered themselves
to be cut down like cattle. In Genappe 800 lay on
the spot. General Duhesme who commanded the
rear guard, was cut down by a Brunswick hussar, at
the gate of an inn. a The Duke fell yesterday. and
thou shalt also bite the dust :" So saying the black
hussar cut him down. ..Thc fury of the Brunswickers
no longer knew any bounds.
Wellington's army consisted chiefly of young regi-
ments. What supported them was the confidence
which they had in the talents of their General.
The Belgians and Deitch by the common victory
in which they participated, have been pretty well
amalgamated and fraternised. Besides the nation feels
itself honoured by its brave Prince.
