irttiskay PAPI.RS. SCiIAMIAUSEN. AUGUST U. The reports which are propagated relative to a projected union of Switzerland with Germany, of which Helvetia, it is rumoured, will form a Circle, have product d a very disagreeable impression in our country. AU Swiss, of whatever party, love their a ioutey, And 'Ws steterthined to defend its indepen. dence. Our independence has been guaranteed by the Empero=r Russia, and we reckon also on the inter &mace of France, if our neutrality were threatened. PARIS, SEPTIIMBIR a. The ceremony of the. distribution and consecration of the colours of the National Guards of Paris took place yesterday in the Champ de Man. In front of the buildings of the Royal Military School, an alcove had been erected for the throne of 9 the King ; in the middle of the Champ de Mars was raised an altar whete the colours were to be conse- - crated. At half-past nine all the national guards were on. .clei arms, . and in line. At ten o'clock, Monsieur, Colonel. General of the National Guards of the King dom, at!rived, accompanied by the Dukes of Angou leme and Beni, Count Deesoles, Commandant of the National Guard of Paris, the Marshals of France, the General Officers of the Army, and the superior Offi cershif the . garrison of Paris. Monsieur pissed the whole in review the first time, and then repaired with his numerous train to the gate by which the King was to enter the field, there to re ceive his Majesty. • At half-past eleven, the cannon announced the ar rival of the Kiiig his Majesty, on entering the field, was seated' with the Dachess of Angouleme, in a calash drawn by eight horses, and then passed in re view the NA:halal Guards; Monsieur rode by the side of the caniage, and pointed out to his Majesty' the d.fFrent cot?: and their Commandants. After the reek.* was finished, the King alighted in - front of the Royal Military Scho•l, mounted the alcove, and took his seat on h,s throne. His Majesty was 'surrounded by his Nobles and chief Officers, the Kush of France, and the General and Superior Officers of the Army. Monsieur was on the right of use King, surrounded by his principal Officers ; Madame on th- left, having behind her the Coun tesses DlMas and Chisy ; the Duke of Angouleme • was on the right pf Monsieur, and the Duke of Berth • on the left . of Midvale: The Grand Almoner of France, who was to con• secrate the colours, then i roceeded to the Altar. e-carted by detachments of the national guards, both horse and fooh and accompanied by two officers of the general staff. The distribution of the colours commencQ. The Chief of the ht Legion advanced to the front of the alcove, moonted alone to the foot of the throne, anc shade a profound' obis* towards the King.— C.,unt Desiole, Commanditnt in Chief, handed the col-ur of the Ist Legion to'Monsieur, who presented it to the Kirg ; his Majesty inclined the pointed end of it to Madame, who attaclhhi thereto the eravale. The King then gave it to the Chief of Legion, who,' deseendoig froat the alcove, saluted with the colour, end okiiiied the detachment which accompanied him. Th“o.ours of the eleven other Legions, and the staroJai d of the Horse Guards, were distributed in a similar manner. The Chiefs of Legion `and their detachments then shlvahced towards the altar; the Grand Almoner of Prance, the Archbishop of Rheims, successively bless ed Al the colours, amidst the salute of artillery, and pronottuced a discourse worthy , of this religious and solemn ceremony. After the consecration, the whole national guards defiled bet le the King, making the air resound with acclamations, dictated by the truest affection and the most th..cp:y.felt enthusiasm. His Majesty macifeced the pleasure which lie experienced on seeing pass fie fere him, and in the finest order, these troops, worthy of alt his regarJ. Thus far it is easy to give an account of this cere many ; but how iescrihe the noble and affecting scene by which it s. as terminated ? All the Chiefs of Legian, and the greater part of the Officers of the National Guards, assembled a the foot of the alcove. The King arose, and with that admirable expression which his Majesty infuses iato all Ins speeches, he ad dressed them in the following words: " Gentlemen- This is a delightful day to me : it h a new tie which 1 contract with ray brave National Guard. What may not be expected from the French when one sees such troops, whom seal alone has foimed ? Let the enemy come when he will: but %toll not come—we have none but friends!" At the conclusion of this speech shouts a thousand times repeated of Vier le Roi t V.ve noire bon Roi I Vive Monsieur I Vive Madame I Vive la Famille . Royale I Vivent les 13ourbons !" were heard on all aides, and did not cease until Monsieur was seen turn ins towards the King, and signifying that he wished to speak to him. " She," sod the Prince, "the National Guard is dteply sensible of the great honour your Majesty has dote it by presenting it with the colours yourselE I eat; assure you, Sire, that it it worthy of it. All are prepared to die for the person of your Majesty; and, *flying so molly faithful subje cts, there is ho MOM &voted than their Col mel vneral." SEP! !EMBER P.

TALLEYRAND on the French Finances, which we have subjoined. It takes a sober and temperate view of the state of the French Finances, and contains none of that fulsome adulation of the mighty Geisha who swayed the destinies of France, which characterized the former speeches of this eminent Statesman.-- Once more our ears, as Englishmen, are delighted with the compliments he pays our Financial System: this branch of our polity is once more regarded .as a model for other nations, and to our national credit is justly ascribed the glorious overthrow of the despo tism of BONAPARTE. FItINCH HOUSE OF PURL SPEICM OP THE PRINCE ON BENEVENTO, ON PRUZETINO THE BUDGET, BTII ELPTEUEBE• GENTLMEN—By order of the King we present you with the project of the law on the Finances of the Kingdom. " The object of this law is to regulate the public expenses of the current year—to provide in advance for the services of the ensuing year,. and to assign the payment of the arrears anterior to Ist April last, from certain funds at determined periods ; and in the manner most economical and least burthensome. " This project of the law, with some amendmeits, has been already printed and distributed. When, ac cording to your established forms. the House shell have sent it for examination to the Committees, it further elucidations are required the Ministers will be happy to give all in their power. It is then only that all the details can be entered into. taf render the law complete, The only object, therefore, which calls for your attention to-day on this subject, is the spirit And outline of the law in question. " You will there see, Gentlemen, that the intention of the Kiel; has been not only to provide immediately for the wants of the public service, by establishing a proper equilibrium between the receipts and expenses, out also to create, in the financial adrniuistration, a new regime both with respect to its object and its means. It is new with respect to its object, because it will found the prosperity of France on a real public credit, proportioned to the extent of her resources.— It is new with respect to its means, because they are ..11 adopted in the most perfect sincerity : it is the de ' termination to adhere to what has been promised— and fidelity to its enegements, which, this day, be come the noble expedients propo.e_d by the candour of the King to his subjects. 66 By this simple proceeding, to the intrinsic power of the State will speedily be added the influence of public opinion. These two powers will lend each other mutual succours ; and from their union, when well understood, will result the whole power of a great national credit. , 66 We d' not now mean to enquire if public credit, considered in the abstract, is in itself a great advan tage. I think so, but this is nothing to the purpose. It is sufficient that it does exist elsewhere ; and as a great arm of strength, to render it necessary that it should also be found in France. I cam only regard it, in the present state of Europe, with respect to its relative advantages ; and as a weapon necessary for opposing the weapons of the same kind of which other nations have taken so great advantage. 66 The Ministers of the King are happy to have it in their power, amid this august assemblage, and bowing religiously to the sacred altar of honour, raised by the glory of our arms, solemnly to abjure and to proscribe, for ever, all those miserable conceptions and all those disastrous operations known for upwards of a century by the names of reduction: demon, niefinuiotts de rembearsentent, re. duction: ek vakure, remboureetterse ea 'dears nonti nake, mobiEsa iss, inuriptiseu reduites ors tiers, hid. dation es valeure &precise:, revisions, alearentou tk rejde de meet Iteer Ste. Sic. Set.. France, at peace with the universe, ought to aspire at a new celebrity. She ought to establish candour and justice in every branch of her administration. To obtain this grand result the means must be provided for paying all the charges and all the debts of the state. [Here M. TALLEYRAND gave a short outline of the Resent state of the French finances, drawing favour. able conclusions, and stating that the Ministers had uniformly, in the calculation, kept in 'view the maxi mum of the claims and the minimum of the receipts for their liquidation. Such of the taxes as weigh most heavy on the people are to be moderated, and the deficit to be supplied by the sale of National do mains, woods, ani forests.] " Amidst all the calculations into which the pre sent discussion leads us, it will be p'easing, and per naps instructive, to remark, in the relative state of our hurthens with those of nations whose eirospairity is the m. , st striking, that the situation of Fiance, after so ,1 nany storms, is still protuising. According to the last census the population of France wits 9.8 millions. Dividing equally among all the annual amount of th t rtes which we take at 6bo miliions. the ..quots paid by each is a little *es 22 francs. dg Enfinati the produce of the tans, not inelang those of !re land, has risen of late years to at least 60 millions sterling, which, divided among 12 millions of inha. bitants, give five pounds sterling or 120 francs as the contribution for each individual :—that is to say, up. --- wards of five times as much as the amount for each individual in France. 44 In the United States of America the receipts of the Customs, which, previous to the two last years of war, formed almost the only revenue, produced annually 16 millions of dollars. This sum divided among seven millions of inhabitants, gives about 12 francs for each individual ; to which must be added the local taxes peculiar to each state, amounting to about 11 francs more, making 23 francs for each in dividual. Hence it follows that France has the advantage over both of these nations. These outlines are necessary to chew the grounds of confidence which remain to us, and which ought to encourage an active and industrious nation like ours to prose cute the useful enterprises of agriculture, manufac tures, and commerce. 44 The Minister, on the second branch of his sub ject, inculcated the necessity of punctuality and rigid honour with regard to public engagements, remark ing that Governments, like individuals, never, with impunity, lea sight of this principle. To a failure in this, which he attributed more to bad rulers than to the nation, he ascribed the comparative low rank of France ; which he said was now under the just level of her resources and population.— “ The present Government think they cannot give a better pledge of their sincerity than by paying the kna,fide debts c,ntracted by the late Government." He then eulogized the Financial Systems of Eng land and the United States U The first example is still furnished us by Eng• land, whose Government, by an inviolable fidelity, has fulfillesi all its engagements towards its creditors, has remained in a condition, notwithstanding twenty years of war, in spite of the fetters and prohibitions which expelled, from almost every port on the Con tinent, her ships and merchandise, to borrow -every year, for upwards of ten years, at a moderate interest, ' more than 25 millions sterling—a sum equal to our ordinary revenue, estimated at 600 millions of francs. 40 And if the state of the exhaustion to which ,twenty years cf Revolution have brought us, be ob• }Acted against us, I shall answer, by pointing to . the analogous example of America; where the Govern ment, by following the system which we are desirous to see adopted, had raised itself from the most cri tical, to the most proiperous circumstances." The Minister concluded by remarking, that the only thing wanting to secure the prosperity of Franco is a Sinking Fond ; which he hopes to be able to in troduce into next year's Budget. •• Thus you see, Gentlemen, that the King is de. termined, that all the Acts of his Government shall bear a character of probity conformable to the eleva tion of his own mind ; and which, by providing for the interests of all, shall inspire a just confidence in the minds of all. •• It is indeed a new era, when the justice and mo deration of the Prince, whose presence here has re stored peace to the world, will every day make us more sensibk of the reciprocal utility of virtues so necessary to secure among the French the powerful guarantee of honour ; and, - may we be permitted to hope, that the influence granted so long by other countries to the manners of our nation. will generalise throughout the whole of Europe that moderation which has become more necessary than ever to the happiness of the subject, and the power and glory of the Sovereign." • NUREMBERG, SEP rENIBER We are assured that the Court of Austria has re fused permission to Madame Bacchiochi (Bonaparte's sister. and the wife of a waiter in a brothel), to come to Vienna, which she wished to do. She has there fore embarked at Trieste for Italy, and has proceeded to Bologna. Very important negotiations are going on between the Court of Vienna and the Cabinet of Naples. These negotiations give rise to various rumours, but the most prevalent is, that their chief object is to in ince the King of Naples to cede his Kingdom to King Ferdinand of Sicily, and to accept a proper in demnity. Several Austrian regiments keep going to, and re turning from, Italy : these movements have of course given rise to the news of the pretended warlike de. monstrations of Austria, with which the public has been for some time entertained. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 11. The carriage of Monsieur. who is on his way to' Dijon, broke down at Troyes, but happily nn person was hurt. 'A new carriage has been sent after him. To-day there will be grand races in the Champ de Mars. It is not Austria alone which has recognized King Joachim. There is a Prussian Envoy at Naples, and Russia has just sent a new Minister there. Tiersiay last the Prince of Benevento presented the Budget, in the name of the King, to the Chamber of Peers : on this occasion his Highness made a speech, which produced a great effect, and the print ing of which is expected with great anxiety.

We have to regret the re-appearance of the Fever at Gibraltar. The accounts have now reached us at the same time from Frence, and from the Fortress itself. The fallowing is the substance of the informs. tien we have received on this disagreeable subject : M BYI, up/ImM I. 44 The Owners of the sloop Market Maid, of this port, have received a letter from the Captain, dated Gibraltar Bay, 18th ultimo, stating, that the rota had again made its appearance ; in cousTquence of which it was expected the communication by land would be stopt that night. Mr. MCKS, a respect• able merchant, had left Gibralur on account of the Fever." Accounts via France, to the 23d ult. state, that from the 13th to the 20th ult. inclusive, there had been two or three deaths, and four new cases ; but up to the tad no further deaths nor sew cases had occurred, SD that the public mind was considerably relieved. By way of precaution, the gates were in the first instance shut, Ito prevent all commugication. Up to the 20th foul bills of health were given, but on the 22d clean bills of health were again issued. It was expected that in a iew days all fears would subside. During the greater pact of last month there was very sultry wea. ther at Gibraltar, and on the•first symptoms of disease some families quitted the place. We are happy to add, that, according to letters from Cadia of the 23d, and from Seville of the 24th ultimo, throughout that part of the country there is no appearance whatever of any pestilential disorder.
