The following are extracts: — SWITZERLAND, JULY 14. In the Second Sitting of the Diet, on the 6th of this month, no opposition was 111121! . ..! to the proposal of the Presiding Canton, to continue fur twelve months the resolutions adopted last year, rela tive to the abuses of the press, and the surveillance of foreigners ; on the contrary, mat praise was bestowed on the desirable rtsuhs which they had been found to produce, and they were accordingly vor.firmed unanimously. The Minister fur Basle regretted, that his Government was not able to furnish information respecting the University of that City, which might hove corrected erroneous statements, and prevented a measure of the Prussian Government, tlimial against that University. The Concordat respecting the, effects of a change of religion upon civil rights, led the Minister et Berne to declare, that the legislation of his Canton on tbis subs 'ea was still incomplete ; that its chief object was the prevention of =cal communities, or the maintenance of purely Protestant, or: purely Catisolic emanninitles that the zealous and active spirit of proselytism of a class of Catholic priests in the neighbourhood, chiefly exerted themselves to seduce minors and children, re. wilted measures of protection, and must prevent Berne from ac ceding to the Concordat. The Ministers of Friburg and &ileum replied that they did not believe that any thing passed in their antoras which could give just ground for complaint. Certain French Papers cannot refrain from vilifying and calum niating Switzerland. The daily proofs that both the Governments stal the people well know the situation in which the interest of Europe has placed them,—their sincere desire to promote every measure that can ensure the preservation of peace and order, and their aye:won to every thing ■t variance with these principles, can can check the idle declamations of those people, who bold nothing sacred but what accords with their own opinions, and think every• thing permitted that can promote their own base ends. It were to be wished, that these self-constituted defenders oflegitimacy, would learn the differenaz between right and wrong, Ware they assume a pert for which their bad intentions and sentiments wholly disqur.- illy them. VIENNA, JULY 10. The Archduke Palatine and his consort s accompanied by the HurcditesT Prince and Princess of Saxe Heldburghsusen, set out' es the Ilth far Oren, after taking leave of the Emperor end Em press. His Racal Highness' Prince Gustavus, son of Queen Fre derica, eta arriving here from Italy, immediately went to [laden, and we how has paid a visit to the Emperor. The marriage of his Imperial Highness the Archduke Francis Charles, will take place in the cosine of the Autumn. Pritaire Metternich, after tatting the watery at Ishel , where he is expected on the 24th faint Johannisberg, will return to this city about the middle of next month. The journey of the Emperor and Empress to Italy in the next Autumn and Winter semi.s to positively decided. FLIANLIORT, JULY 17. !I is Excellency Count Oohs, who is now appointed Ambassador to the Court of London, has arrived here on his return from M. de Tatischeff arrived yesterday from Johannisberg._ runkfore Pape's, JulylB. lirnsvels journals to the 24th inst. arrived yesterday :me of the papers says, that the journal of the conference at Johannisberg was signed on the 16th, when it broke up. The matters discussed in the journal are of the highest importance, but hitherto we have only ►ag►►c informations oncerning them. Sotre persons pretend that there will be mother ministerial congeal; at Cublertz, but this seems vary doubtful. BOUISELS, JULY 22. His Royal Highness the Prince of Change, with his three sons, arrived on the 2t.b at lodge, on his return for Ems. His Royal Highness went to the scat of Count de Mercy, where he was to stay a sky or two. The young Princes returned to Brus st4i. whir the Governor. Thanks to the taste of the Prince of Orange, our city has re. covered t►e spleridid picture of Ruben., representing our Saviour giving the keys to St. Peter, whicn was formerly so much admired id our principal church, and was sold on account of urgent news. mtu It is still as perfect as when first painted. The hereditary Pnnee of Saxony has arrived here from Paris. :1. Kemper, Professor of Jurisprudence at Loyd on, and M. V ber of the Seeon I Chamber of the Ststes' General, hu been carried off by a sudden fit of apoplexy. .►ecounts front Rome say, that it is intended not to admit any Prison to the Priesthood before the age of :13 years. lit ENS, the poet, always quoted with the most lively I approbation the player of the Scotch cobler—" Lord ! send, us a good conceit o' outlier —and we also feel well disposed to do justice to the sincerity of heart with which this honest' petitioner put up his supplication. A spice of vanity is, we think, one of the " chief nourishers in life's fast," but we never wish to behold more of it in any man than will serve to give his merits fair play. When it displays itself, as it does in Mr. Coessrr, to an inordinate excess, it becomes one of the silliest as well as most offensive infir mities of our fallible nature. To give instances of this tiding would be to quote every number of his Weekly Re gister. Ile is himself quite convinced that there is no light now in the world but what comes from his taper. Ile is perpetually ringing his own praises in the car of his readers, and there is no end to the changes. No sooner is any scheme of policy afloat that he thinks likely to be adopted, than, if it suits his views, he instantly assumes to take the lead in recommending it, and to assert the honour of being its first great patron ; and he proceeds, forthwith, to issue his proclamation—" Let all the world remember, when this measure is carried, that it was mine!" And he would chop any one into mince-meat that should step between him anal his claim. If Government never intended the plan, whatever it may be, or abandons it, on being satisfied of its impolicy, he immediately cries out, " It was abandoned for no other reason than because it was mine ; they were resolved not to proclaim me, as they must have done, to have been its author. Ministers are ashamed to confess that they are taught by WILLIAM CO NI ETE !" It was only to defeat his prophecy, and to consign him to the disgrace of the gridiron, that the Bank ever again paid in. gold! But for this, not a sovereign would have been visible iu all the realms of commerce. Gold coin gluts the money market only to the end that his prediction might be falsified, and a slur thrown on his infallibility. Nis Register of last week brings forth another suggestion, under the following head, " Paoa Laws MAST ku tx ISE LA Ky." The subject is introduced with his usual mi raculous display of foresight 1 am now going to show" says this self-gifted pro phet, " that the political mob is coming round to my opinion. Ire shall sec the poor lairs planted in Ireland ; if it be not put ofFtill it is too late. .I,rl it is my business to remind my readers that it is M y SCHEME." Our poor laws planted in Ireland ! Truly, the Irish have suffered too much of oppression to make them covetous of this new source of misery and vexation. Mr. Cobbett may assure himself that his scheme is by no means in re quest in that devoted country. PAT is much too shrewd a politician to bring the evils of our poor lutes to the test of his own experience. Ilis countrymen are rich enough in their own store of wretchedness without wishing to draw upon our coffers. The Irish peasantry know and feel the true source of their misfortunes, and they never yet con templated to pay the raft of the absentee landlords with a poors-rate. If England colld disencumber her own poli tical economy of this part of the system, she would have attained one of the greatest blessings in the way of improve ment of which her condition is susceptible. The poor laws have been the curse of this kiagdotn from their com mencement. Its abus:s of every kind bare gone on accu mulating, and the rites increasing hem year to year, until the burthen has grown so enormous, that, unless some remedy is applied, the landed interest must, in the end, sink under its weight. And yet this profound prophet and politician proposes to extricate the Irish from their poverty by the aid of this machinery, with as much con fidence as if its success was no longer matter of experiment, and with all the salt'-satisfaction of an Empiric exclaims, ' " Give them an Overseer in each parish of Ireland; let him have power to make assessments, and distribute re lief," &c. &c. Mr. COB BET Tis extremely anxious to ap propriate to himself all the glory of this his scheme, as he calls it ; but we are really at a loss to see where the praise. is to come from. Ile resorts to a very curious argument, to show the policy of inoculating Ireland with our pauper system, and it is this— " The whole of the poor-rates in England," says he, " do not amount to so much money as it now costs to keep the Irish down by force. Where, then, can be the reason for not adopting a system of poor laws ?" A man's powers of reasoning must fail him sadly before he can be reduced to talk such trash, or write such non sense as this. But Mr. Cobbett never drinks but out of his own cup of grace and inspiration; and he proceeds to follow up his questions by furnishing the only reason which can by possibility operate on all such occasions. " It is," he adds, "'so manifestly wise, and so mani festly necessary, that there can be no reason for not adopting it, except that it is a measure of my recommending?' Admirable! WINDSOR, Jets 2.5. Last evening as the Kiiiiivas taking hie usual drive in Windsor Park, one of the Royal carriages in attendance on His Majesty was accidentally overturned, but happily none of the Royal party received any injury, except Sir Andrew Barnard, the Groom in waiting, whose ancle was dislocated by the fall. The weather continuing remarkably fine to this day, the Town and Park have been thronged with visitors from the neighbourhood, and various distant parts, who resorted to the Terrace, and whose attention was also attracted to view the extensive alterations and improvements which have commenced in the Royal Castle. Two Military Bands attended on the Terrace, and played for the amusement of the promenaders, who appeared highly delighted. His Royal Highness the Duke of York is expected to arrive at the Pavilion, at Brighton, on the Y 7 th. Saturday the Princess Augusta left London for her Royal Higimess'a mansion, at Frogmore, near Windsor. Prince Leopold dined with the Russian Ambassador yesterday.

The Earl of Ilarrowby and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer transacted business at the Foreign Office in Down ing -street, on Saturday. . _ _ Saturday the Earl and Countess of Bathurst, accompanied by Lady Emily Bathurst, left town for the Wihitrness, Kent, tne scat of the Marquis and Marchioness of Cam den, to remain there on a visit for a few days. Saturday the new Spanish Minister had his first inter view. with Earl Bathurst, at his Lordship's Mike in Down ing -street, since his Excellency's arrival in Englacd, on his mission from the Court of Madrid. Air. Canning left Gloucester Lodge on Saturday morn ing for Eton. . . . Mr. Stratford Carving is expected to leave England in a few (lays for St. Petersburgh, to succeed Sir Charles' Begot in his Embassy to that Court. Mr. Ward accom panics the Right Hon. Gentleman's Secretary of Legation. A claimant as heir at law of the Emmett estates, in Yorkshire and Lancashire, residing at Bradford, and now in humble circumstances, is advancing his pretensions very vigorously, and the matter will coon be before the gentle men of the long robe. It is stated that this property is of the value of VO,OOOL a-year. FASHIONABLE IYTELLIGENCE.

Miss Beaumont, late of Covent-garden theatre, was mar. tied on Saturday to Mr. Owen, of the India House. Beau mont was the lady's theatrical name; she is the daughter of Dr. Browne, late of Dublin. We understand that a well known theatrical architect farce writer, who souse time since availed himself of a Scotch divorce, has recently left town foi the North, in order to avail himself of the comfortable and convenient facilities of a Scotch marriage. The taste for music, which has lately made such mar vellous inroads upon the old habits of this eountry, has extended its influence even to the colder regions of Scot land. Miss Stephens is there at present performing with great eclat. Mr. Sapio has likewise made a first appear ance upon the stage as a dramatic singer, with extrordmary success. In the Streakier his triumph was so complete as to n.ur,l the repetition of the Siege of Belgrade for a fortnight. This is the more gratifying, as we understand that Mr. Sapio is engaged for the next season at Drury lane theatre, at a salary almost unprecedented, and though his reputation as a concert singer has always stood very high, yet some apprehensions were entertained respecting his success upon the stage. It is creditable to this gentleman that he is engaged to sing at the Ancient Concerts also for the next serFon—a tribute rarely, or never before, paid to a theatrical singer. Lord Milton, who reached Wentworth House on the ' Sth instant, is proceeding forthwith to Ireland, where his presence will be highly gratifying to a numerous tenantry. —Sheffield Iris. East Fizzwitttax.—As idle report found its way Into the EdinburgkEeening Courant of last Friday, to the effect, that an exiiress had arrived at Leeds, announcing the death of Earl Fitswilbam ; and it is true that such a rumour prevailed here, but we are mo't happy to say, that it proved to be groundless. The venerable Earl was detained in town after Lord and Lady Milton had returned to Wentworth, by the indisposition of the Countess, who, we have the pleasure to learn, is now in a state of wave leseence.—Leeds Mercury of Saturday. Colonel and Lady Elizabeth Steele and family arrived at Kirnbalten Castle, on Wednesday last, from London, where they are expected to remain some time.—llunting don Paver.

Government have given orders for every attention and respect being shown to the remains of the late King and Queen of the Sandwich Islands in their conveyance to Owyhee, for which purpose the Blonde frigate, Captain Lord Byron, at Wools/mil, is ordered to receive them, together with the Admiral and suite, and proceed to that island. ..... Perhaps one of the most interesting objects, as regards the trade of the town, presented itself on the Cam on Thursday, being a steam-packet 72 feet in length and 12 wide ; which is intended to ply daily between this town and the port of Lynn.—Cambridge Paper.

SOUTH AUPTON, JUL% '3.—The Camilla, Havre steam ' packet started from here on Tuesday, and reached France in less than thirteen hours, in which time she has also made her return, bringing home nearly forty passengers of the first respectability, among whom was J. Fleming, Esq. M.P. for this county, and two carriages. Last week the Right lion. Sturges Bourne, M.P. took his passage to Havre in the Camilla. The cause between the heirs of the late Count General Staekpole, and their opponents respecting the execution of the judgments given by the Court of Chancery in Ireland, and in the House of Lords in England, was this morning (Thursday last) called on at the First Chamber of the Court Royal. The opponthts of Richard, son of Count George, demanded that the Pause " sortit du role" should be taken out of its place, at lent so far as regarded the pro vision of 375,000 francs, which had been granted to them by a decree of the First Instance. The Court held, that the case should be kept on the roll, whence it results that it cannot be heard till after the vacation.—Paris Paper. Auto ttrEs—We have received the following from !Ho ' linella, legation of Bologna, dated the 6th of February : " Some days ago, in the neighbourhood of the village Are new, there fell from the skies a great number of Aetolites, the largest of which weighed twelve pounds.

The lively, rattling, giggling romp, may be capable of a love of h . er own kind—but never the true luxury of the passion. l'2.—Nothing is more overrated, in common parlance at least, than the influence of personal ban Isumeticss in men. For my part, 1 can easily imagine a woman (I mean one really worth being loved by) falling in love with a Balfour of Burleigh—but I cannot say the same thing as to a young Milt.wood. A real Rebecca would, I also think, have been more likely to fall in love with the Templar than with Ivanhoe ; but these, I believe, were both handsome fellows in their several styles. The converse of all thi.. applies to the eine: of women. Rousseau did not dare to let the small pox pennanently injure the beauty of his lieloise. One would have closed the book bad be destroyed the sine qua /1011 of all romance. 13.—Loan Bvzow observes, that the daily necessity of shaving imposed upon the European male, places him on a level, as to misery, with the sex to whose share the occa sional botheration of parturition has fallen. I quite agree with his lordship—and in order to diminish, as far as in me lies, the pains of my species, I hereby lay down the result of my experiences in abrasion. if I had ever lain in, I would have done my best for the ladies too—but to pro ceed.—First, then, buy your razors at Paget's—a queer, dark-looking, little shop in Piccadilly, a few doors eastward from the head of St. Jaines's.street. He is a decent, shrewd, intelligent old man, makes the best blades in Europe, tem pers every one of them with his own hand, and would sooner cut his throat than give you a second-rate article. Secondly in stropping your razor, (and a piece of plain buff leather is by far the best strop) play front you, not towards you. Thirdly, anoint your beard overnight, if the skin be in any degree hard or dry, or out of repair, with cold cream, or, better still, with bear's grease. Fourthly, whether you have anointed or not, wash your face carefully and copious ly before shaving, for the chief difficulty almost always arises from dust, perspiration, &e. clogging the roots of the beard. Fifthly, let your soap be the Pasta di Castagn3. Sixthly, let your brush be a . fell one of camel's hair. Se- Tenthly, in spite of Sir John Sinclair, always use hot wa ter—boiling water. These are the seven golden rules. N. B. Use the strop again after you have done shaving, and get old Paget, if possible, to give you a lesson in set, ting your razors. If you carnot manage this, send them to him to be set—ay, even if you live .500 miles from Londo.i. People send to town about their coats, boots, &e. but what are all these things to the real comfort of a man, compared with a good razor? 14.—A smoker should take as much care about his cigars, as a wine-bibber does of his cellar, yet most of them are exceedingly remiss and negligent. The rules are as follows: First, keep a large stock, for good tobacco im proves very much by time—say enough for two year's con sumption. Secondly, keep them in the coolest place you have, provided it be perfectly dry—for a cigar that is once wet is useless and irreclaimable. Thirdly, keep them al ways in air-tight canisters—for the common wooden boxes play the devil. •N. B. The tobacco laws are the greatest opprobrium of the British code. We laid those most extravagant duties on tobacco at the time when North America was a part of our own empire, and we still retain them in spite of rhyme and reason. One consequence is, that every ger:lb:man who smokes smuggle* ; for the duty on manufactured to.. baccy amounts to a prohibition—it is, I think, no less than eighteen shillings per pound—and what is a pound of cigars ! Why does not the 'hike of Sussex speak up in 'the House of Lords? " I like King George, but I can't 'afford to pay duties," quoth Nanty Ewart; and I quite agree with tile inimitable Nanty. 15.—(Composed giter sir months' residence in Athens.)

Now, somebody will say, here is a foolish tautology—does not everybody know that? Hooley and fairly, my friend—it is ten to one if you know it. If you wet:: csked what arc the fine things of London ?—what is it that gives it its metropolitan and decidedly superior cha racter? You would say Pariiament—St. James s—Carl ton House—the Parks—Almack's—White's—Brookes's-- ('rockford's--Boodles—Regent Street—the Theatres—the Dioramas—the Naturoramas—the fiddle-de-devils. Not one of these is in London, except perhaps the last, for I do not well know what that is—but London itself—Me city inside Temple-bar, is the place for a philosopher. Houses of latb may flourish or may fade, Bob Nash may make them as Bob Nash was made. But can Bub Nash (gam honoris causn nontian) create the glories of Cockneyland ? Can he build a Wading street—narrow, dirty, irregular, it is true, but still a Ro man way, trod by proud Praetors, and still to be walked over by you or me, in the same form as it was trampled by the " hobnail" of the legionary soldier, who did service at Pharsalia ? What is London stone ' a black lump in a hole of the wall of a paltry churc h (the Loudon Stone Coffee-house opposite, is a very fair concern), bat a Roman milliarium, laid down there, for any thing you know to the ontrary, by Julius Agricola, who discovered Scotland, and was the friend of Cornelius 'facitus, according to the rules enacted by the road-meters of old Appias Claudius? But I must not go on wit't the recollection of London. Curse on the Cockney school of scribSlers—they, who know no thing, have, by wilting in praise of Augusta Trlsobantum, (I use this word on purpose, in order to conceal from them what I mean,) made us sick of the subject. I, therefore, have barely adverted to the Roman times, for luckily they have not had the audacity to pretend to ay acquaintance with such a period. The Court—Why, to be sure, it contains the King, whom, as a Tory, I reverence as an integral portion of the state-1 hate to hear him called the Chief Magistrate, as if he was but an upper sort of Lord Waithroan—and whom as a mail I regard—but my attachment is constitutional, and in the present case personal, and not local. The same may be said of Parliament. As fur the clubs, why they are but knots of humdrum people after all, out of all which you could not shake five wits. London proper I back against Southwark and Westminster, including all the ad • jacent hams, and steads, and toos, and terits. Where can we find the match for the Albion, in Aldersgate-street, as thou goest from St. Martin's-le-grand to the territory of Coswell-street, in the whole world, take the world either ways, from Melville Island to Van liieman's Land, or front Yell° in the Island of J.apsn, to I veragh in the king dom of Kerry, and back again ?

As some folks mention Dr. Kitchener, I may as well at once dispose of him.

Then their boxes are dark and dingy—but warn) and cozy. A cluck ticks audi. bly to remind you of the necessity of keeping good hours even in the midst of revelry. Even if a man gets muzzy in one of them, it is a sober intoxication—you are thinking of profit and loss in the meandering, of your intellect —and you retire to rest to dream of the necessity of industry and attention.

Calcutta Government Gazettes to the 6th of Marsh bare been re.eived, which contain so.ne interestingAetails of the first operations of the war against the Burmese. It appears that the enemy had poured down in great numbers, and attempted to secure possession of the country by erecting stockades to cover his positions, skilfully selecting the not advantageous grounds to establish himself and plant bis fortifications. From several of these he was gallantly driven by the force under Lieut.-Colonel Bowen, thosol at one time there appeared to have been not less than &OW Burmese engaged. The last attack, however, was not 0 successful, and the British detachment was obliged to m tire, after experiencing a loss of several officers and 130 Sepoys killed and wounded. That of the enemy was more severe, though he repelled the storming party. It is said to have amounted to 400 men, and a few days after he voluntarily , evacuated the stockades which he haul a bravely defended. The British having by that time re ceived reinforeanents, bad resumed the offensive, C moved forward in pursuit.
