COLMAR, JANUARY 1.
• As it of use to make known the moderation of the
enemy to those who are not thoroughly convinced of
it, we think it our duty to publish the following docu-
ment, and we invite all the public papers in the em-
pire to copy it. It may be placed after the declara-
tion of the Allies as a document to support it

BASLE, JANUARY 3.
The,Helvetic Diet precipitately assembled at Zu-
rich. In this extraordinary meeting, rendered ne-
cessary by the urgency of circumstances, the general
opinion was against every disposition which should

tend to modify the form of the Government. The

Diet determined, that Prince SchWartzenberg should
be written to, for the purpose of informing him, that
the w.ll of 3tvitzerlaad was not to submit to any
change in the division of its.territory, -except at the
point of the bayonet ; and to declare to that General,
that the reunion of the Cantons of Vaud and of Ar-
govia to that of Berne, would be contrary to the ge-
neral wish of the Confederation, which. intended to

reserve the basis of its present organization. Colo-
, nel Hauser, the 4djutant to the Landamman, set out
immediately to carry the letter of the Di,:t to the
Prince of Schwartzenberg.
It is considered as certain in Switzerland, that the
violation of the neutrality has not been agreed to
with common consent among the Allies, but that
much disagreement has existed among them on the
subject. It ha; been warmly contested at head-quar-
ters whether the proceedings of M. de Senftnt Berne,
should not be disavowed, and himself censured.
Dispositions had been made to remove the head-
quarters of the-Allies to Berne; but after the 27th
of a cember the Quarter-masters were trabersing the
roads to countermand the arrannments ordered.--
Much uncertainty is remarked in the movements of
the allied troops.

A Decree has been published at Chamberi, by
Finot, the Prefect of the department of Mount Blanc,
for the organization of the National Guards, pursuant
to the orders of the Emperor, to repulse or impede
the invasion of the enemy. •
In this arr?:4l, it is said, that a; there is not in the
department a good Frenchman and a good c;tizen,
vAo ought not to concur with his person, and all his
means, to save his country from foreign domination,
. from ruin, and the outrages of every kind with which
it is threatened—all the good citizeos capable of bear-
ing arms. as soon. as this comes to their knowledge,
are to present themselves to the mayors of their re-
spective,communes, to express their readiness volun-
tarily to concur in the defence of the territory. They
are to choose a Chief—tile Mayors are to draw up
lists oi the names of all who shall offer themselves as
volunteers—the volunteers are to furnish themselves

with arms, and supply the defect of the customary
• kinds by pikes, and any ottier weapons which may be
ludge,d.,proper.

The detachments formed in the Cantons in con-
sequfnce.ol tbis arrea, are to consider themselves as
sa many corps of partizans: they are to surprise con-
voys and depots, carry off parties which the enemy
trjay send out for discovery, to intercept correspon-
dence ; in a word, to arrest the progress of the ene-
my, to diminish his resources, and intimidate him by
every means. Whatever these detachments can take
from the enemy is to appertain to them, as an encou-
ragement. The Mayors of the different cantons are
to be careful to prevent any abuses in the movements
of this auxiliary militia.
This arreti, it is added, has already produced the
happiest effects : the citizens eagerly present them-
selves on all sides at the first call of the magistrates;
and a great number of retired officers have come for.
ward to offer their services.
