Let Switzerland decline at once farther ne iodate,' n, re-assemble her army, conciliate the It &Lams by declaring the enlistment of Swiss citi w mess the service of foreign despots illegal, and abide the blow." Not one of her absolute neigh 'boars will venture to nasal her in her mountain erne. Ia the meantime, what is England doing? We bear much of Lord PALNLIOrrON'S foreign policy. What has his foreign policy done for our brother freemen in Switzerland? Lord PALMERsTON told the defunct House of Commons that his Government waned the Swiss to place no reliance en the protegees of France to obtain for them fair terms from Prussia, Bat did his Government offer to the Swiss say other alternative than war or acceptance of the prellered mediation of Frame? Or did it not rather coldly sad sapereilioudy give the Swiss to understand that from it they had to expect neither aid nor sympathy ? In plain English, was the English Cabinet mesmerised by the prospect of a nuptial onion between the royal Novice of Prussia and England ? and were the honour and interests of England sacrificed to family considerations? We are convinced that the English people feel, what ever their Government may do, that their true place is that of the most powerful and infisential member of a longue of the free constitutional States of Europe. And Switzerland can tinily ascertain whether or not inch is the feeling of the English people. Diplo matic etiquette forbids a direct appeal from one European people to another. The mast liberal European Governments would be scandalised by web a Jacobinical proceeding. A private, con fidential appeal from the Swiss Government to the Cabinet of St. James's would lead to nothing. But the Swim Government can address such an appeal to the English Cabinet, sad allow the document to find its way accidentally into the newspapers. Such things are done daily by tie Government. of France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, and cannot therefore be improper on the part of the Government of Switzerland. The publi cation of such a document would stir up the English people; the English people would bring their infra ease to bear ea their representatives in Parliament; and„onarriage or no marriage, my Lords l'At.nsatsron and CLARENIXIN would be compelled to insist upon Premiers doing justice to Switzerland.

Sorely thaw. who (as it were) called them into existence, or '',,t all events need up their best cure". New.rtheless, such is not the English law. A Poor man may have worked all his days in one plat* , and may have gone to reside in another Place. 1) 4 place of his residence is that upon which he has'* claim. Nay, the district in which the poor man floes his daily work may be increasing in value from hour to hour by that very work ; the ground w.ay be so valuable that the poor are driven off to some distant suburb—and yet this very district of increasing wealth may at the same time be getting tv.- lieved mare and more boor the burden of the poor rate. Of this singular result London is perhaps the most marvellous instance. The population of the City, which had gradually decreased between 1821 sad 1841, has still further decreased between 1841 al 1861; whilst the rateable value of the prerlaty has rapidly increased. At the same time am ployaseat in the City is much greater new then it was thirty, twenty, or even ten years ego; the demand for mere labourers has in creased as the resident population has diminished, and a large proportion of the working population is now domiciled in the suburbs. Thus the City of London, whilst it increases its wealth by the employment of additional labour, refuses to bear those btirdens which every employer of labour ought to brar—the support of the peens* destitute. The richer parishes have no pleas la which the poor can reside, and hence those of ths working classes who, from sickness or age, or want of employment, are likely to have to demand relief oat of the poor rates of the parish in which they re side, are mainly found lodging in the poor parishes. The effect of this system is pernicious to the last degree. Those who possess land in parishes where the poor rate is small will not suffer any in ferior houses to be built lest the rates may be inconveniently increased. The poor labourer is therefore separated by cruel distances from the place of his daily toil. His strength and time are ex hausted in a tedious journey from the place of his residence to the place of his work. The gulf which is already fixed between the employing and the employed classes is rendered, if it can be so, more impassable. The labouring poor, in their anxiety to get as near as they can to their workshops (as it were), are content to huddle together, in utter contempt of all comfort, and even decency, and to pay exorbitant rents for wretched lodgings. In short, this fatal system gore far to promote and to generate those terrible scenes of which Dr. Lrruxer has lately drawn so graphic a picture. As we have urged before, if we cannot relieve poverty, we can at least repeal these laws whiehinter fere with the comfort of the poor labourer. There can be no doubt that the present law by which the poor are made chargeable to the parish where they reside, and not to the parish where they work, greatly ag gravates the difficulties inherent in the case. The only remedy is to equalise the poor rate throughout the metropolis. There is no reason whatever why one pariah in the City should pay Ks., and another parish nothing at all. London is in fact one ; and each separate district is essentially connected with every other district. Therefore the whole metropolis ought to be charged equally. It has indeed been said that this scheme is objectionable because it is the first step towards a national poor rate. Well, and if a national poor rate would extirpate injustice and °premien, analogous; to what we have been describing, throughout the country, why not? But the objec tion is irrelevant. A national poor rate may or may not be expedient; it may or may not be prac ticable. It seems to as clear that an equal metro- politan rate is both expedient and practicable. And in our attempt to remedy the local metropolitan abase, we may hit upon the means of eradicating a pervading national abuse. What the aristocratic parishes of the metropolis have effected in the way of relegating their poor, and the charge of support , ing them, to less wealthy and less fashionable parishes, is being done by landlords throughout the country, by palling down cottages and driving their labourere to reside in towns and villages remote from the locality of their toils. It is, in short, impossible to say that there is any principle in the present system ; and most assuredly the consequences which result from it, and which are every'day becoming more serious, are proof sufficient that if there is any principle in the present system it must be an erroneous one.

The meeting of the Neufchatel Conference yes terday was very animated. The proposition for an arrangement, drawn up by Count Walewski, was warmly opposed by the Prussian Ambassador, Count de Hatzfeldt, and supported by the Austrian and English representatives, M. de Hubner and Lord Cowley. After an intimation that both the Swiss and Praisian plenipotentiaries desired to refer to their respective governments, Count Walewski ad journed the meeting sine die to await the answers. According to the opinion of Swiss diplomatists in Paris, the prepaid= has a very fair chance of tang accepted. Dr. Kern leaves for Berne this swereig. ha osier, as there can be little doubt, to whim the federal government to close with the which, however, it is by no means certain that Prude will agree to. The Swiss Plenipotentiary bad an audience of leave with the Emperor, at three o'clock this afternoon, in the course of which the matter was talked over. His Majesty, who seems to be on excellent terms with Dr. Kern, thanked him for a complimentary speech which the latter made at a Swims charity dinner on Sunday. Dr. Kern dined with l'rince Jerome yesterday. "The ceremony of administering the oath to Car dinal Morlot, the new Archbishop of Paris," says the iftsi de la Religion," took place on Sunday, at the 'Tuileries, with the usual formalities. After the oath had been taken, an unexpected scene occurred, which produced much emotion among all the persona present. The Emperor went on his knees before the eminent cardinal, and asked him for his first bene diction. After having complied with the desire of his Majesty, the cardinal was taken into the apart ments of the Emprms and the Prince Imperial, to whom he also gave his benediction. The solemn installation of Cardinal Morlot will take place on Saturday next. If our information is correct, the reception of the pallium by the cardinal will take place is the morning of that day, in the chapel of the Noneistare, and the delivery of the pallitun will be wade by Mgr. &accent" The Imperial Prince, besides goingnaost afternoons in elate, escorted by Guidon to the Bois de Boulogne, is now taken out at eight or nine every morning on the reserved terrace of the Tuileries gardens over looking the Seine. Sometimes he may be seen in his Lilliputian goat carriage, the goats led by two little footmen, a nurse walking on each side and a tall lacquey behind. This morning I happened to be passing through the gardens when the imperial infant was returning to the palace from his prome nade. On this occasion he was not in the carriage, but in the arms of one of his nurses, the other being in attendance, and the tall footman close at hand. The passers by on the quay near the Pont Royal, rushed to the railing which separates the quay from the private garden, to see the hope of the Napoleon dynasty. At the moment the Emperor, without his hat, and smoking a cigar, was enjoying the fine morning, walking up and down the gravel walk in front of the little private staircase leading into his apartments. When he saw the nursery cortege approaching, he advanced a few steps, graciously bowed to the nurses, and with a playful expression on his countenance, kissed his babe, to the great delight of a considerable as semblage who beheld the scene at the distance of only a few yards. The child looks remarkably plump and well. At the Bourse the Rent° improved a little in the morning, in consequence of better financial news from London ; but it ultimately closed at precisely yesterday's prices. The market was generally dull. Mobilier fell intr. The Mediterranean Railway fell 12fr. Me., and Southern 20fr. In the other lines there was very little alteration. The Patrie says there is no " serious " foundation for the statement mode by several journals, that the Portuguese government proposes to organise an ex pedition against China. - The Daily New's and Express were seized today. The Moniteur publishes the official return of the customs revenue for the month of March, amount ing to 15,984,002 fr., being an increase of 1,682,878 G. on the corresponding month of last year. The re turn for the first quarter of 1857 amounts to 43,766,453 fr , showing an improvement of 3,208,3531'r. on the corresponding period of 1858.

The Prussian government have finally resolved to pnibibit the circulation of bank-notes of any other state without exception, and the bill is now being drawn, and will be presented to both houses of the legisleture for their sanction in the course of a very fc' days. This measure, like every other one of :mportance, finds its supporters and opponents, and has called forth a deal of polemical fire. The di plomatic representatives of some other states of Germany are negotiating in the hope of exceptions being made in their favour, but as the ministers feel at present, no single exception will be tolerated. It is more particularly the small states, with but few inhabitants, who have been inundating the country with bank-notes out of all proportion to their wants, and which has at length brought down on them the prohibition. The following list of the banks of the lesser states, and their emitted paper money, will be found cor rect: Anhalt-Dessau, with 115,000 inhabitants and 4 millions of dollars bank-notes ; Beckeburg, 30,000 inhabitants and 12 millions dollars; Hesse-Darm stadt, 855,000 inhabitants and 20 millions of florins; Saxe-Weimar, 264,000 inhabitants and 5 millions dollars; Gera, 115,000 inhabitants and two millions and a-half dollars; Sondcrshauscn,6l,ooo inhabitants and 3 millions dollars; Saxe•Coburg-Gotha, 150,000 inhabitants and 4 millions dollars ; Brunswick, 272,000 inhabitants and 5 m Ilion dollars; Saxe- Mciningen, 165,000 inhabitants and 8 millions of dollars. In addition to these large sums of bank notes, a considerable amount of paper money has been emitted by the governments of these above , mentioned states, and are floating about all over Germany. SAXE COBURG A.ND GOTIIA. The united Diet of the two Duchies of Sue Co- / burg and Saxe Gotha was opened by the Duke or, the lath instant, at Gotha. In his speech upon D' A io occasion, he dwelt upon the great inconveniences which are caused by . maintaining a separate, admi nistration, and legislating separately for each of these states. It seem that his Dirshuess bag resolved to promote the entire fusion of his ter ritorics. THE FAMINE IN FM-4.ND. (runt oul OWN STO'ZKHOLIC APRIL 15. The latest accounts from TAnland continue to give a most distressing picture of the famine raging in that unhappy country, which does not fail to excite the greatest sympathy lore and in every other part of Sweden, as subscriptions are liberally entered into, and balls, concerts, and theatrical representa- Sons ' i nvert for the charitable of raising funds for the relief of our distressed hren en the other aide of the Gulf. Several vessels have been chartered by the committee, and laden with corn, but they cannot move till the ice breaks up. In the districts of Clleaborg, Wasa, and Kurpio alone, out of a population of 6,54,000 souls, no less than 230,000 have no other means of subsistence than begging, or else eating the unpalatable bread made from the bark of trees. The mortality is consequently very great, and daily on the increase, as the dreadful famine typhus has broken out with great malignity. The distress is so great that children have been seen who, for want of other food, have actually eaten off their own fingers! Liberal contributions have been sent from Ilamburg and Lubeck ; but in Denmark, where they make such • fuss about fraternity, and dream of the Scandinavian union, they have done nothing to allay the misfortune. Upwards of 80,000 dollars have hitherto been remitted from Sweden, and as soon as the ice disappears, the above-men tioned vessels with corn and flour will be despatched to their relief.
