WE yesterday 'received the Paris Papers to the r i , th inst. and also a Dutt. Pr7ad. They contain de tails at some length, of the proceedings in Sewitzer /and,•but as the intentions of the FIRST Col , lstr-L . were not known at tite time when the last letter's were daled, thoe:accounts are not very interesting. If France were not to interfere, the contest, ilcon. test it'can be called, would soon be over ; for the Partmans of the Government which has just been destroyed, are not only few in number, but appear to 12'e destitute both . of skill and courage. The intelligence from Garman) is, in some re netis', contradidory : according to one account, the ELECTOR Of BAVARIA has given direa.ions to pg rnent his Army to 60,000 men ; according to others, the ciisputeS between Austria and Bavaria have been :micably terminated by a Convention. Letters from Cons/aid/n(4/e state, that the PAC fl A f CA{Ro has ,urrounded the Bcys of Egypt, and IL , 4t it is . genetally supposed they will be compelled • c pry nder, -,Funds axe $2, 9C THE Interference of France, in the Internal Af. fairs of Switzerland, has excited the just indignation of every, Friend to Freedom, of every Lover of Humanity, of every Advocate for. Justice, ,of all who are the Supporters of social Order and gcod Government.. It is a departure from every axiom of Public Law, and a violation of all those Princi. pies, which have been hitherto held sacred-amongst Nations. The Inhabitants of Helvetia,: peaceful and happy tinder the Government of their choice, were disturbed .by the unprovoked. , inroad of a .Frencli Army, and' were compelled, 'by a •Foreign Force, to submit to thiSGoVernment of a Faction. That overawing Force .laring,at t lenigth withdrawn, 'the Swiss,. - with a determina tieiffittilaliy unanimous, 'restylVed upon the re-establishnietlrcif their Ancient Constitution, which was sanaioned by the expe, rienee ofs'ages, and from which they had uniformly derived Public Freedom and Domestic-Comfort,: in preferenee to that Goverhinent which was the off spring of a Faaion, and which they had been com pelled to submit to, whilst they detested and cue_ : spised it. The large Majority. of the Inhabitants of : Switzerland, declared their firm and -decided, opinion in favour of their Ancient ConStittition ; • the Helvetic Government, weak and unsupported, became an easy - .conquest, and finding itself unable. to contend With 'the nearly unanimous voice of the Country, basely and traitorously implored the aid of• France, and for what ? That the Inhabitants of . Switzerland might 'be again overawed and subjected, and that a miserable and despiCable. Faction might tyrannize, over the .Country. It was to be hoped that France, seeing, as Was evident to all the World, that the Helvetic Government wass : a feeble junto, opposing the.declared.sense of : Switzerland, would have treated its applicaticitififinternpr, and suf_ kred it to fall, the jtist' 9 rN ;I,llfilic opinion.— E This hope; alas! has 1w,,-4ects, s tsea l lized ; the Go vernment of France lias publicly and officially de clared its intention of interposing its effectual me . dialion, or, in other words, of sending an Army to support the Helvetic Government against the de clared will of the People. Good God ! Can such a circumstance be-contemplated with indifference Can an opinion he expressed,upon the'subjea, out adjudging the condemnation of such a measure? Switzerland is an Independent Nation, its inhabi_ . tants have the right of chusing that Government which is most congenial' to their wants 'and to their wishes. They possess' . the right of overthrowing their New, Government ; and re-establishing their Ancient Constitution, as much . as the People of Fritage, that of destroying their Old Government, and ereaing a New one. And shall it be said that • one Nation is to be' allowed; the excercise of that privilege, because is powerful, and another to be deprived of it-because it is weak,? Gocl forbid, - for then there is an end of all Public Law, of all . • National Independence ; for then all Public Law will be merged in the tyranny of the strong, and the oppression of the weak z and to' this does the hos tile interposition of France tend. The French Go.. vernment; indebted for its existence to the will of . the People, refuses another People, equally indepen dent, but less powerful; the exercise of *qv same Privilege. If this is not the Tyranny of the Strong over the Weak, then let Tyranny be blotted from our vocabulary, for it has no intelligibe meaning -se then Right and Power `ecanse 4noiairtscus, and no gar. , Nation is secure in its Inslepensltnrial -unless in pos_ session of the means of ("kV-Ada - 10f; or, in other , m f words, the smaller Nations usi be subjugated and rendered tributary ; the larger States alone remain ing, only because they cannot conquer each other. These refleaions naturally present themselves upon viewing the subject before us, and whilst the Press of England is Free, they ought to be publicly expressed. Let .the public Opinion of Europe de clare itself in favour 'of the injured and unfOrtu.. nate Swiss, and it may viaterially check the hos tility of France towards 'that unhappy Conntry.— The cause of Switzerland is the common cznse s of all Nations, and all Pen ple, and ought to be sup_ ported by them with a manly declaration of their Sen timents, and a firm, a decisive opinion in favone of the Independence of Helvetia, in favour of the Inde pendence of Europe, for if the Independence of Swit_ . zeriand.is wantonly violate,?, the same plea will serve to destroy that of any othe,v State, and the inclina tion to do it will only be tpeasured by •the power of effeaing it. : That the power of FranieniettreFeittually subju gate Switzerland , appears at first sight to be. too probable ; but there are oiscornAandas which, when duly appreciated, afford a 'bright ray of hope, that the Inhabitants of flelveti:i may yet . be.triumphant. The effels of enthusiasm,' when opposed in hostile array to mere skill and intrepidity, are well known ; • they have been sufficiently; exemplified in many re. cent instances. France may, undotibtedly,' send a large Army into Switzerland, which can only be . opposed in that Country lisy a comparatively small YQICe but under what dis Advantages do she corner fight, under what advantages the latter ? French Soldiers sent into Switzerland to subjugate the Pa triots -of that Country, would be rivetting the Chains with which their own Country is now bound. —This is so obvious, that it cannot escape the observation of the 'meanest' Soldier in the French Army. That Soldiers thus circumstanced, would obey the orders of-their Commander,- there need be no doubt ; but that they would fight with alacrity, that they would enter into such a contest with spirit, that they would be a&uated by any other than the common courage of a Soldier, cannot for a mdmenibe beliead. What do we see oil the other side 4..b i ody e ,oo(len, firm ,and determined, enthur siastiec4l)l devoted to the cause in which they are engaged,'"fighting for all that is dear to them, for Public Freedom and Domestic Happiness. What an inestimable superiority do they thus acquire over the-.. mere .praaised skill, and common courage of their Opponents ? The one ,fights, -because it is his duty as a Soldier to obey the orders of his Commander . the other is,determined to conquer, or. die---,to live free, or biavely meet a gloribus .deatli in the field - of honour. The former fights for pay, and risks his life no further than is required by the rules of Military Taffies -; whilst the latter combats for Freedom, and will cheerfully sacrifice hiS life to obtain it. The, charm of having deserved well of his Country, no longer dazzles the ,e'ye of the French Soldier, for his Country is unattacked, his Country is not in danger, whilst the Swiss Patriot is • identified wich.hi Country, and hears its voice inspiriting him to the .Contest, invigorating him when faint and weary, and soothing him in, the hour of honourable death, with•the refiedion, that he. has served his Country . faithfully, and that Posterity will bless, while it records his exertions. tg t 1 et : raves ant most determined Troops may, hku 'tic, o.q r .g.vvvv, atercome by superior numbers ; they may fall viairiA - , till none are left to support the cause of - Patriotism and of Honour : such may be the fate of the Swiss; but most devoutly do we wish, that success may crown their efforts, and show to asto-' nished France and admiring Europe, the happy ef feCts of Courage, exerted in the cause of Freedom, and direaed against Oppression. Friday morning Her Royal Highness the PRIN, LESS of 'WALES quitted Rainham, quite well, on her return to Blackheath, greatly delighted with . her Norfolk excursion. A division of the Norfolk. Rangers escorted her to . Swaff ham, as did the' Mar chioness of TpwNstigNp. The Party at Rainham, according to the wish of Her Royal Highness, was not very numerous, though brilliant ; consisting of the Noble Proprietors of Rainham, and: their ,beautiful daughters ; the Duke and Dutcheis or LL Eps, • General LOF1:11S and, family, and Captain M i isgy, of the Navy, Het - Royal Highness visited Holkham on Thuts.

On Thursday night, at nine O'clock, died, at ;Dartford, Mr. JOHN HEATHCQTE, brother to, Sir 'GILI3ERT, a young gentleman generally known in the upper ranks' of life, and very sincerely esteemed. On Sunday se'nnight returning in his curricle - frotn Margate, the iron work which supported the pole gave way, and the carriage precipitated it , ,elf on the horses' heels ; they went off full speed, kicking' every thing to pieces, and, it is supposed, in this manner Mr. HEATHcoTe received the wound in his head of which he died: He was quite insensible. ever after the accident, and died in strong convul. sions.. Mr. HEATHCOTE, who was possessed of considerable property, died without a will. His I.lded. estates will go to Sir GILBERT, and his other effeds will be divided among his relations.— He had all the best assistance the Faculty could of- 'ford, and , iwas surrounded by friends at the mo. met - 401.1as dead).

LE MIME, of the French Privateer Le Nuice, in 1797, while cruizing off Ceylon, fell itt with the Ball of Cotton Rock and another Shoal, about the existence of which Navigators have 104 been doubtful, and by many -suppoied to be — only ideal ; I therefore give you an account taken fro:n the observations he made. In S. 1.8. North lat. and 880. 20. long. front Paris, there is a small Island' about 2; cr 'so fccr above the surface of the sea, between sc) and 6o feet long, and about 20 in breadth it is J ituatect on a Sand Bank, which extends about 300 feet in a' N. E. and S. W. diredion. At half a mile distanee from it, there is no soundings with too fathoms of line, and a boat's length from it '2O fathoms water. In January 1799, Capt..LE MEME saw a shoal, probably the Ouro, and sent an Officer to examine it; but night coming on he was prevented froM landing : the Officer reported that this reef was sof to feet above the surface of the water, and about a mile long,- from East to West <; there are no SoUnd.- ings with too fathoms of line .at a mile divancc from it. It lies in about to. North latitude' and 9Z., Egst . longitude from Paris. • N. B.
