TANTS OP TILE NEW DEPARTMENTS.

ImtaartANTs—l learn with the deepest regret,
that evil-disposed men, agents of the enemy, have
mingled among all classes of your population, and
'seduced many to break that oath of atlegiance which
they had taken to Napoleon the Great on the union
rof these Departments with the Empire of France..
Chimerical and absuid ac the hopes are which these
men have held out, they appear to have had. but too
much success. In frantic teraf., th ) nave exhorted
you to seize the Opportunity of breaking your chains;
and confide implicitly to the 'promls..s of avowed ene-
mies for the realizations happiness which can
alone be conferred and seemed to you by the great
Monarch who now sways the sceptre of Frahce. Re-
flect by whom these promises have been. made s by a
nation of barbarians, whose army, beaten in every
encounter, was prestrved from annihilation, and its
kingdom from conquest and d 141 action, solely by•
the premature rigour of a s.i.tson for which we were
unprovided. They have f..tlowed our steps into Ger-
many, and hare every where endeavoured to sow the
seeds of disunion.

" Dreading a renewal of the war in Russia, they
seek allies in Germany, who will assuredly become
their victims, and be abandoned, on the first move-
ments of the armies which are now org wising through-
out the provinces of France. Recal to mind the acts
of those who now entice you to rebellion. Remember
in what manner they have abandoned you on former
occasions, and ask yourselves what support they are
likely to afford you. The vanguard of the Russian
army has only crossed the Elbe to plunder and de-
stroy, and lias retired on the appearance of our rtoopc.
The forces of that Power have advanced with a te-
merity which will not escape chasisement. The first
battle will be the signal for the gall isons of the for-
tresses they have lett in their rear, to sally out and
cut off their retreat. The first defeat will be to them
annihilation; too happy if the remains of their armies
are permitted to return by Capitulation. Prussia has
been compelled to unite with the enemy. Her con-
duct merits as much pity as, contemiq—but she will
be the first to abandon the alliance she has formed.
From England do you expect succours d Alas ! what
nation ever confided in her friendship that escaped
ruin. Banished from the ContinEnt, the woes of the
nations that inhabiCit, are regai*d by her with ex-
ultation I

" Inhabitants—Return to your homes; resume
your occupations, and be assured the armies that are
now hastening from the iate►ior, will quickly drive
the Russians into their own country. (Signed)
" CARRA ST. CYR, General, atc."
" Osterberg, April 2."

Another Proclamation, dated April 2, orders 411
the inhabitants to deliver up their arms to the magis-
trates, under ti.e severest penalties, and forbidding
the citizens carrying any weapi,ns concealed about
their persons. From this Proclamation, it appeals
that many detachments of the enemy had been at-
tacked and put to death by the exasperated Germans,
and that the life of every soldier, who was absent from
quarters after sun-set, was in imminent jeopardy.
