ha g lith Ambalta dim at Paris left that city °lithe sth of this month, has beeh confirmed this day at noon by a courier difpatched to General VICTOR ; but nothing certain is yet known of the particular caufes, which have produced this unfavourable turn of affairs. Mr. LISTOW, the Englifh Ambaffador here, has not received ;nitrations from his Government how to &Mat himfelf under the prefent tircumftances, but is in hourly expatation of receiving them.

BA LEj MAT IS.•••CiIiiCII RAI4, who after being at Fribourg, at Berne, and in the Petty Cantons, had' ', a conference with ALoys RIDING, re-elated Chief Magiltrate of Schwitz, has returned by this city to Paris. The new journey of the French Colonel to this country has produced a great fenfation.— Some imagine that the objet of it was, to inform himfelf of the rcfult of the new eleaions, which have pretty generally placed Switzerland under its old Governors. Others pretend that he came hither for the purpofe of diftributing military re. Wards, and perhaps both are in the right. Since Citizen Ra►r has been at Fribourg, the Landam tnan of Switzerland has fent to Paris, in quality of his Miniiter, Citizen CONSTANTINE MAILLARDOZ, accompanied by Citizen FIG F cp, as Secretary of Legation. In confequence of their million the fol lowing notice, too fingular not to excite attention, has been publilhed in the Berne Gazette i Fribourg, April 17. The Landamrnan of Switzerland has feat to Paris Metre' Conftantinelardoz and Philip Hirai, with an extraordi nary miMon. Though little familiarised with what relates to politics, I have attempted to dikover the object of this motion• and I flattcr myfelf that I have aelually auk over. u it.
