IN IN SWITZERI.AND. We have already had occafion to remark, that the prefent (late of this once happy country feems to have been the objet in the view of the Finsr Cousin, when he expreffed a hope that a certain people would foon return to thofe principles which would not render it neceffary for other countries to interfere for their own fafety ! The infurgents themfelves alert, that they have been inaigated by the French to their prefent proceedings. Whe ther fuch emitraries were authorifed or not, the contequence is the fame, if they have a&ually been the means of producing the prefent nate of anar ,Ly ; for if the keeping up a French force in Swit .:crland is neceffary to the maintenance of order, it becomes as much a province of France as if it had been formally united to it; and under fuch a vim of the matter, we can eafily underftand the meaning of an exprefrion made ufe of by the Ora. tor of the French Government, when he fpoke of the necelTity of keeping up a power able to quell Alas: z, as an argument in favour of the in 4reafed peace cilablilltment in France. The following-letter will put our Readers in pof toton of Come important information refpcaing the date of Switzerland not before made public Buns, Mar to.—The infurgents, to the num ber of soon men, who threatened Laufanne, ell• tered that plate.on the roorningof the Bth, having at their bead Revsecniss, who having drawn up his troops in order of battle, repaired to the Envoy of Government, Citizen Kona, Member of the Petty Council, 'and demanded—t R. That the stational archives &could be delivered up to him— That the abolition of tithes and certain taxes, •'Muld be formally guaranteed by the new C.onfti tution-3d, That an abfolute Amnefty mould be publifhed in favour of,tbs infurgents. Citizen Ross rejetled thde propofals, and fummoned the chief of the sleds to quit the city imme diately. Thq latter at fiat refuted to comply with this order, but on its being repeated by the French Commandant of Laufanne he re folved to retire with his followers to Montbenon, one of the promonades of the city, but without the walls of the town. C. Rome then repaired in hatte to Berne, to give an account to the petty council of what had taken place, and to get new. inftruitions. The petty council refolved that they would Mu to no propofal e s on the part of the in furgents, and would reduce them by force. He requefted General MOMTRICHARD to aired in per fin the military operations, which the continued re fittancc of the rebels might render neceffary, but as that General could not go to Berne, he fent in his (lead General AMY with more forces. The rebels give out, that they are fupported by France, and to impofe on the credulity of the people they have hoifted the French colours. Thefe reports, which gain great credit among the people, and which damp the courage of good Citizens, have been formally contradifted by C. VERNINAC, the French Minifter, who has addrefied the following letter to the petty council : Citizens, I have learned with the greateft con czrn, ft offs the letter you aid me the honotir to addrefs to me, dated May 9, that an infurreltion has broke out in the Canton de Vaud, the objet of which is, the abolition of tithes arid other taxes ; and I am particularly pained 14 the circumftances with which this unlawful movement is accompa nied. Among the exceffesofwhich the Chiefsof the infurgents have rendered themfelvesguilty, the mott criminalno doubt is that of having employed the French name to excite to revolt the Pimple and peaceable peafants. The French Government will not hear, without the greater' indignation, that they have dared to &kid themfelves under the French colours—that they have flattered them felves that this condo& would not be difapproved by it, and that they have threatened the Helvetic Authorities with the injurious emitlion of a with t be united to France. The difpofitions which 0 neral MONTRICHARD has made to co-operate in eftor:ng good order, will thew the inftigators of the infurralon with what eye France beholds in an allied country its colours in the front of the rebels, what opinion it forms of their views, and what weight the authority of their fuffrages have with it. Let us, however, hope that fo many un fortunate perfons who are only (educed, will not be (wallowed up in the abyfs to which they are battening. Repentance, no doubt, Will bring them back to their communes, to the borom of their families, before the thunder has built on their heads. They will confide their intereft not to dangerous difturbers of the public peace, who have endangered their fortunes and their exiftence but to popular authorities, to whofe fidelity is com mitted the law for redeeming the tythes and other taxes ; and who, in the execution of that law, will hold a jolt balance between thofe who pay and' thofe who receive the tythes. Such, Citizens, is the with which I exprefs. Allow me, as the Mi nitter of a Power, a particular friend to Hel vetia, to add alfo a with that the event, which at prefent occupies your folicitude, may at length convince all parties, that it is time to fuller the Helvetic Revolution to return to thofe limits traced but by wifdom, and indicated by benevolence. Accept Citizens my (entiments of conlideration. (Signed) VELIIINAC. The ROYAL FAMILY are gone to Windfor. Lady KENSINGTON was fafely delivered of a fon on Tharfday Yetier/lay an Overland Difpatch was received from India.

On Thurfday, while Lord CANta was riding along Pall Mallroppofite Carleton Houle, his boric fell, aid his Lordthip was much bruifed ; but we are happy to hear he is in a fair way of recovery. The lots occafioned by the fire at Woolwich on Thurfday morning is immenfe. We are happy, however, to announce, on good authority, that, owing to the great and laudable exertions ofl the officers and men, feveral valuable articles, as ma. nufcripts, models, carriages for guns, &c. were Paved. The fire was entirely confined^to the fquare, nor did the houfcs belonging to the officers,though fome of them were very near, Puffer in the haft.

No at - - Wm:ice from the Fire Offices, &c. arrived from London until two o'clock,being feveral hours after the fire had been extinguithed. By what means, or from what occident, this fire was produced, bas not yet been discovered. NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE. ' MAILS THIS DAY....WIND N. E.

The conduel of his ETRUILIAN MAjKavv, in ec clefiaftical affairs, hems to have difpleafed the French Government. This inference may be drawn from the article copied into the Moniteur of the 18th, from another Paris Journal, as follows: " In Tufcany civilization has made a retrograde movement of feveral ages : ha King has put hintfelf under the guardian- Ibip of the Meas. An unlimited fpiritual dominion...a pecu niary dominion—a dominion of property, which renders the effedba of the Clergy unalienable--a dominion over the mind, by fubmitting it to the rod of the Bilhops. Every thing is fur rendered to the Church ; and the Pore, like his predeceffors, may, at pleafure, depofe the new Louis, fhould he dare to de part from the obedience he has vowed to the Holy See. France has, with the molt Page precautions, admitted the Church into the bofom of the State; but Tufcany has furrendered the Stets to the Church; and thole fine countries which were the cradle of the arts in Europe, will not fail to became their tomb, unlefs the founder of that ftate Mould prevent It. What a contralt between the Concordat of France, which has almoft realized the pleating dreams of phibilophy, and the law of the King of ETRURIA, which recalls intolerance and ignorance into his States! " Here is another Pal,peadcat ftate that requires the Confular interference. Switzerland is a prey to fadtions—.." and the neighbouring nations will find it neceffary," fay France, "to interfere, in order to prevent any injury being done to their own feeurity."

The new Theatre, Sadler's Wells, prefects (itch a treat of variety and novelty, that all true loves s of mirth and mile feel naturally inclined to make it the scene of their evening's diverfion ; and the mind never had a better field to unbend itfell in. The Phantafmagoria receives increafed applaufe every night, and is certainly exhibited in a very fuperior manner ; the comic chaunt which intro duces it, and the band accompanying every pro. minent figure with an appropriate time, adds greatly to the effee.
