According to letters from Balk of the Toth intl. it has been deemed expedient for the maintenance of public tranquillity, to take into cullody filch members of the Diet of Schwitz,who, after the firll fuhutillion of that aftembly, prevailed upon them *gain to declare in favour of a fecond oppotition, and of re•atrembling the Confederate Army be hind the Reufs. Among the members who have already been arrefted by order of the Helvetic Government, appear the names of ALOYS RE at mo, of Schwitz, HiazEL of Zurich, and &NNE IL of Berne. Detachments from the t 3th regiment of char feurs are fpread over the frnall Cantons, with or den to difperfe every armed colleaion of men that may not be already ditfolved. A battalion of the took demi•brigade, which at &ft corn poled the garrifoo of Berne, has arrived at Lu cerne, It is alerted that the diflurbances which had brokea out in the Canton of Appenzell are quieted. General DOMBROWSKI is at Schwitz, which is occupied by a French detachment. Two other detachments have been fent to Altorf and Stanz. All Switzerland is to be difarmed by order of General NET ; this order has already been exc. tired at Glarus, Schwitt, and Zurich. The de cree which the Prefeft has ;trued upon this fubjeft, (*fates, that every inhabitant is to deliver up to the Municipality of his Commune his arms and every kind of ammunition which he may have in his boafe, or under his guard ; the Municipalities are to-fend all the arms and ammunition to their Sub- Fret - eft, who is to depth them in the arfenal of Zurich, after having fent an account of them to General SUMAS and the Prefeff. The inhabi tants with whom arms or ammunition fhall be found afterward, arc to be punned la Wearily. No one is to be exempted from the difarming but the proprietors of lone houfes in the country, who mutt procure a permiffion from the Sub•prefeft, in which is to be fpecified the number of arm 4, and the quantity of powder which is granted them for their perfonal fafety. Advices from Berne, Ball:, and Zurich, of the Toth, have brought the following news :—on the Eth arrived at Zurich, guarded by an efcort of clzafreurs, the calabrated ALovs ltsmacs, and Ge neral AuF-DER-MAUR : M. HIRZEL, a Member of the Dip of Schwitz, has alto been taken up ; he was found at his own houfe, in the bofom of his family. They were all conveyed before General SWAB, and afterwards carried to the Hotel de Ville. The brother of REntno, who exercifed the OF= of Landasnman of Baden, during the infur- ' reCtion, has alto been taken up. Some other of the leadit.g perfoni have experienced the fame fate. They arc to be fent to the Ca lle of Challon, on the Batiks of the Lake of Geneva, as prifoners of Rate, until further ordcrs. This meafure of Carey,' ordered by General NF v, has produced a great fenfation. The town of Zurich is by direction of the National Prefect difarming, as well as all the other Towns and Cantons. Tranquillity is far from Leing rellored in the Canton of Zurich. The prefcnce of the French troops alone keeps down the infurgents. The town of Glarus was occupied by the French on the 3d. Two demi-brigades and a regiment of light cavalry have entered the Gri• lons by Monnt Split n. The letters from Berne inform us, that the Se nate has fent a circular to all the PrefeCts,of which the followipk is the fubaance You will receive herewith the Proclamation to the eighteen Cantons, Illited by the Firft Conful, in which he declares, tbaj he will, in the critical fituation in which our country is, give it a Conftitution which will cnfurc tranquillity, aud fir its fate for ever,' The Senate have gratefully accepted the inter ference of this powerful Mediator, who holds out to us the heft fpundul Lope of terminating our Inteftine diffendons. The Senate and the Council of Execution make it their duly to cxc eute fcrupu!oufly, and in all its parts, the tenor of the Procla mation of the Firft Conful. In confequence, the Government repaired to Berne a; foon as circumftances permitted tbem,and ettfisandeds all the militia. They will follow in their labours the eunfti;utmeal line, and they will that you, Citizen Prefect, re fume the pea confided to you. They will alfo, that by your efforts to fulfil exactly the &fire of the Fult Conful, all the au thorities wheel. have been diffoived or changed,be immediately keitahlithed an.: confirm^ their 'unctions: that all Affetnblies, Authorities, or Funtlionales, convoked or eftabli&cd in con travention to the Law and the Con ft:cutlass ,be on the contrary ditirely tiffolvcd: in a word, that lei your wife activity, the 4nd ktrit of the Ara Confers Proclamation he adhered to, avoiding always ever thing that might agltite or awaken the intiost:firy of the parties; You will'emploP them by all the thri'ls In yokr vnwer to maintain ermined and tranquitir y,. and re-eftablifh it e e Constitutional Authority.

Thus France contrives to maintain large armies at the expence of her neighbours, in Holland, Italy, and Switzcrlansl— Armies ready at her call to fcourge' the rest of Europe, whenever the policy of her Government may find it for her interelt.

LAFORET yeaerday morning difpatched a Courier to Paris. We are afrured that incompliance with a re queft from the Minifters of the Mediating Powers, the Direetorial Miniller has been occupied for Tome days pall in drawing up the project of a principal and definitive Conclufinn, which will be prefented to the Deputation next week. PROCLAMATION TO THE HELVETIC PEOPLE. le CITIZENS OF HELVETIA, " In announcing to you four months ago that the French troops were about to quit our territory, the Executive Council declared to yon at the fame time that conttant obedience to the laws, a fpirit of confidence, and of peace and pnpiipity in maintaining the eftablithed order of things, could , alone prote4 your independence, while contrary difpofitions, tumult and diflenfion, would infallibly b l uing back to us foreign armies. “ Citizens of Helvetia, you have not given cre dit to our words 1 Amtlitionr, men have made you embrace the caufe of their intereits and their paillons ; and while a part of you railed your voices to overturn the Contlitutional and National Government, another, by their filence and inaCtion, became accomplices in the civil war. 66 What has been the refult Scarcely a few weeks had elapfed when French troops, ten times as numerous as before their departure, penetrate into pout Cantons: they take from you thofe arms which you direeted againft your qoVernment, and thus declare to Europe that you are both incapable of remaining in peace, and unworthy of defending yourfelves. " Say now, Citizens of Helvetia, to whom you are indebted for the entry of thefe troops? Is it to the Senate and Executive Council, whofe fault on the contrary was, that they confented too loon to their departure, and whole whole care fey Come time pall has tended to prevent by a free and loyal acceptance of the mediation of the FIRST CONSUL the evils which we have reafon to fear from his indignation ? Or is it to the Infurredional Autho rities, the alTembiy which &awed to itfelf the name of the confederate Diet of Schwitz ?—that aftembly, which ihuffling, in regard to the condi tiens of the propofed mediation, promifing to dif folve itfelf, and hill continuing its intrigues, an nouncing peace, and retaining . foldiers under arms, wilhed a foreign force to enter the country, that they might be able to fay, We yielded only to force. Wretched vanity, which gratified itfelf at the expence of the whole nation I Fatal error of pride, calculated to precipitate - the country into •complete . ruin; which would indeed have been precipitated had not the generofity of the FIRST CONSUL been equal to his power, and if he did not Rill perfift to with for our hippinefs, notwithfland ing the efforts of his enemies and of yonrs. " However, Citizens of Helvetia, the Execu tive Council are informed that the members of this feditious aftembly, and of the committees which it eftablifhed in the Cantons, not conant with hav ing confecrated, in formal protefts, their foolifh pretenfions, !till endeavour to mislead the people, in regard• to their real fituation, and to infpire than with falfe hopes of foreign aid ; to intimidate them by threats, and to make them deteft the in tentions with which the Helvetic Government ad dreffed themfelves to the FIRST CONSUL % to invite him to become the fupreme arbiter of bur dif ferences. " But we {hall in the firft place reply to thefe men, that this mediation they folicitcd alfo : The letters of the chiefs of the petty cantons to the FIRST CON S ut. and the French Miniaer, the plans of a conftitution in which they openly requeftcd their good offices, apd the fending deputies to Paris, are fo many proofs of the defire which they had to intereft the French Government in their caufe. It was only when the FIRST CONSUL pro. nounced and required above.all things the ceffation of a war, which armed citizens againft citizens, and brothers againft brothers, that they were Peen to reject a mediation folicited by themfelvcs, and which they dexteroufly employed to increafe the number of their partifans. 44 We will tell them alib, that if we have re quelled the mediation of the FIRST CONSUL, it is becaufe of all the Powers invited by their pofition to take an intereft in the deftiny of Helvetia, France is the only one which has acknowledged our independence, confecrated by its care in a fo lemri treaty ; the only one which can exercife over us influence pf proteoion and fuNiort. The hiftery of Switzerland for four centuries, our revolutitm, and the years which follo'wed it, fuf- protefted the cradle of the Confederatio n , Citizens of the Helvetian Republic, Lav e a t ], c , u . fand times more motives for being convinced (j :, " Finally, we will fay not to there men, fc r they will not Ellen to us, but to the nation that equality of rights among the Cantons, abolition of hereditary riivilegcs, and the libe r ,„ (of the citizens, being a dcpofit committed into c:r hands, to be pm ferved wh atever i t may chit, w were not even allow e d to hetitate derma nd: the mediatiPn of the only G overnment fave among us thefe prin c ipl es . ca 11. 44 So that the peps we have taken with t!.is are merely a neceirary confequence of the nat;Dn:.l with, emitted in favour of tittle pi inc;ples at q : e time of the acceptance of the Conftitution. " Such is the anfwer which the Extcutivc Conn til owe to this part of the accufatioas of their ad. verfaries." knowing In regard to the other accu f at i ons, by wh:ch a fiaitious hatred has been organized a ga iA them i e fa m 4 , the yd e f! an ife n ott b h em w e e n l t l ion e d, ring e mentioned, whole ruin they have occafpned, nor a tingle individual in whOfe perfon the ;ights of the citizen have been violated ; on the contrary, it is for having been too indulgent, and placing toomatch confidence in the juflice of their fellow citizens, and employing too feverity, that they have experienced any re. verfe. The infurreaional authorities have onier ;cl, in the courfe of four weeks, ten times as tn - ligy arrefts, vexations enquiries, and rigorous meafints of every kind, as were ordered during the whole courfe of their exiftence. •• ,4 Citizens of Helvetia, you are going to be re. quired to furnifh by extraordinary conti ibuticas for the maintenance of thofe troops whore your errors have made to enter into your terrimries.— Stibmit to a neceffity which you cannot tax iniuflice. Open your hearts to clifpofiti;,as of fra. ternity and focial order. This is the only way by which you can fhorten the dqration of your eyili. Shew yourfelves at length •vorthy of being 11i,1 called a nation, and you will remain a nation. BONAPARTE defires that ht, may [',ill have it is his power to interell himfelf in your defliny. " For us, Citizens, thanks to the care of that gener'ous Mediator, our tail: will foon be tinifnea. Returning to the clafs of private individuals with thole who have fo cruelly calumniated our condua, we 11141 always be ready to anftver thoir imput;• tions. Hitherto there has been no facriiice we would not have made had it been profitaUe to our country. Done at Berne, this 3d of November, doz.'
