GENEVA, DEC. 24.—The G rand Council of Bern opened its sittings on the 18th. The public ac counts for 1819 were received, and a considerable .deficiency was ascertained. A remarkable law-suit has been tried. The following are the particulars, as published by the defendant :—Col. Zelweger, the defendant, whose residence is at pall, heard, two years ago, that he.was charged by public ru mour. with having committed incest many years since. He went before the Judge of the place, and demanded that an inquiry should be set on foot. He was sent before the Special Commission, who examined all the parties.—ln the course of the examination, it was discovered that the report had been spread by a discarded chambermaid, a native of Baden. The Commission was satisfied; hut, nevertheless, gave au order of attachment upon the property of the Colonel, allowing him, however, six months to justify himself in. Mr. Zelweger ac cordingly iHstittited a process against the chamber maid, in the Court of Justice at llastadt. The chambermaid there made a solemn protestation 'of guilt, as a calumniatrix. The Grand Council . of Appenzel, in Switzerland, however, refused to re ceive this justification, and condemned Mr. Zelweger to pay a fine of 3000 Louis d'ors (3000/. sterling), for having carried his cause into a foreign Court.— The sentence adds—" We refuse to enter into the merits of the original accusation against Mr. Zelwe ger, but order him to be imprisoned ; and hereby sequestrate 'his property for the said fine of 3000 Louis." Robert Neilson, one of the post-riders from Glasgow to Kilmarnock, was convicted, at the instance of hiS Lordship the Postmaster-G eneral, before a Justice of Peace Court, held last week at Kilmarnock, of having, on a late occasion, lost time in conveying the mail from Glasgow, of being intoxicated while on duty, 'and of ' - violently resist ing the orders of the Postmaster. The salutary punishment of four weeks' confinement to hard labour was in this case awarded. This judgment, and the means taken by his Lordship the Post master-General, and the Officers of his department at Edinburgh, to detect and punish offences of this nature, seem to afford a pledge to Ayrshire, that the regular and safe conveyance of the mails, n he tiler by a. post-horse or.mail-coach, is. by them an object of primary anxiety and consideration.— (Edinburgh Courant, Jan. 1.) SPORTING IN.TELLIGENCE: HOUSTON GYMNANTICS IN. HAMPSHIRE. R. A. Blunl:rt, Esq. of Nllll-end, HantS, in.coming into possession of the valuable Houston estate, gave a full . day's play of sport to the gentlemen and rustics in rations amuse ments, the first of which was a shooting-match at 2i pigeons, for a silver cup and cover. Tuesday was toe day appointed fur the spells, which commenced with the Shouting-match at 21 birds each, fur which 12 candidates entered, atta subscrip• lion of two guineas each, to be distributed for other minor prizes.

A decorated Chemise and other paraphernalia was next run for by damsels of the Houston Hundred, which was wun by :Mary :11ulford. A half-mile heat. _ . The last match was between six boys of the Hundred, with their hands tied behind, catching - oranges from a huge tub of 'water with their mouths, which .i:reated much diversion. . . In the evening the Gentry were entertained at. Houston Halt, and the rustics were niade happy. SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.--A match which stands unequalled in the annals of sporting, was decided in the High-street, Hammer , mit It, -about 3 o'clock last Monday afternoon. A master baker living in the town bad. boted a guinea with his-. neigh hour that he and his mastiff would draw hi, *read-harrow, with in quarter') loaves in it, a mile and a half, and do the, ground in less -time than any. stage coach that passed through the town (the baiter to have his choice.) between I and 3 o'clock, provided Ibe horses did not break into a gallop. The.baker started Against the last coach (the Blue eyed Maid), to the infinite amusement of several hundredspectators, and surprize of Jarvis, wll6 was trot in the secret:, and who, determined not to be heat by what be called an ass and a dog, drove on lot ionsly ; but his horses iniaria bly broke into a gallop, when he was requested. to stop a.nd canter, that being the terms of the agreement. He . good ho mouredly complied; but the ground which he so lost enabled the baker to get so far a-head thateoachee could not osertake him, and he finally travelled the gruand in a much shorter time, and won his na;.er. THE THEATRE.--MiSi BARRY, the new Vio; lante at Drury-lane Theatre, repeated her, per formance last night, with confirmed success.— Her representation was throughout marked by ease, spirit, humour, , and sensibility, and she re-' ceived abundant proofs of general approbation.— ELEASToN was again lively and effective in Don Felix, and the Comedy, from the general merit of the performance, is likely to regain no small por tion of its former popularity. Mr. HENRY HARRIS has left town for Dublin, to accelerate the completion of the new theatre, which he is determined to effect within - the pro mised time. Bets to a considerable amount are depending upon the result. - The Misses FITZCLARENCE have returned to town from the seat of Sir CHARLES POLE, in Hertfordshire, and had an elegant party last evening at their house in. South Audley-square. The Duke of CtARENCE entertained a party of distinguished personages to dinner yester day, at his residence in the Stable Yard, St. James's : among whom were the Earl and Coun tess of GLASGOW.

By a paper laid before the Astronomical Soci ety of London, it appears that she will be in opposition be tween Gemini and Cancer on the evening of the 13111 of Jan. By the assistance of a map of the constellation Gemini, this planet. may be readily found wilh a good telescope, and her progress. watched for upwards of two months. RECENT FACT.—As illustrative•of the effects of the new system of education in a small country village, ".Mary," said her Mistress to a servant girl who had been brought up at a - school of this description, " what is this, that you have given me warning ? I knows not of any words as has tak,u place between us, Mary?" " Nor do 1, Madam," re turned Mary, " hot I have come to the resolution not to live with any lady who can't speak grammar." NATURAL IlisTorty:—The Dean of WEST MINSTER has recently given directions to have the interior of the Abbey cleansed, as front the number of bit ds which had congregated at the top of the gothic pillars, where they had built their nests, much inconVenience had been expe rienced in the choir.—ln effecting this labour, upwards of 7u nests of different birds were discovered, together with the remains of a number of the feathered tribe that appeared to have died of old age.—Among other birds found in this situa tion, was one with a very brilliant plumage, somewhat similar to a kingfisher. The plumage was in excellent preservation, but the flesh was completely dried up. It was conveyed to the eau, by whom it has been preserved. COWARDLY ASSASSINATION IN PARIS.—A young man from Nantes came to Paris in order to make some purchases for his approaching marriage, and went one evening to the Play. lie was there insulted by a person next to him,because he took snuff out of a snail-box with the charter on it. A third person interposed and offered himself to be second in combat. The young man who was in- suited, consented to have no other person present. When they came to the ground in the morning the aggressor, favoured by the lot, drew first, and missed his adversary. The latter was about to fire in his turn, when the wretch who played the part of second tired a pistol at him which be had held concealed. Some Gendarmes ran up at the time,and found the victirnof an imprudent loyalty, almost expiring. The young man survived five hours and was able to make a declaration sufii , ciently circumstantial to make 'us hope that the assassins shall not escape ' the vigilance of justice. They .fled so quickly that the gen d'armes could not perceive them. Some papers state, that the young man was rob4ed at the same time ; others state, that the assertion is without foundation.—(Paris Paper.)

The following are the particulars' of the MIS.. terions attack on a Person in the ,suite of the French 'Ambassador, the first notice of which ap peared in this Paper of Wednesday last. Ve e then asked " Are these common Robbers or Political Assassins ?" but it seems now evident that they are of the latter desdription, and we earnestly hope, that the atrocious miscreants will be discovered and brought to justice, which, we thisti will be the case., as Government has promptly offered a reward for their appre hension : " A most daring and violent attack has been made upon a confidential and official servant in the employ of the French Ambassador of the name of Grenier. His Ex - cellency the Frimch Ambassador is residing at his country house near HarroW. It was the dtity of M. Grenier to go to and from the house of bis Excellency near Harrow, to his Ex cellency's house in Portland-place, to send off official Ilis patches to France, to receive official dispatches from Frances and to . convey them front the house in Portland-place to his Excellency, at his house near Harrow ; he in general travel led on horseback. • On Sunday evening 111.Geenter l e ft Port. land-place for his Excellen4's house, near Harrow, on horse back. Ahout seven o'clock, when be had travelled about six or seven mi4es on the road his horse startled, and in coase (pence he pulled it up. The night seas very dark, and it was with difficulty he could perceive the cause . ; but aelength, by close observation, he discovered two men on foot in't tie road at the head of his horse, who appeared as if they had•stopped it, and were standing, to prevent the horse front proceeding ; they spoke to him ill a low tone of vitice,.hat he could not tell what they said. Just at the instant that M. Grenier was en-_ deavouring to clear his horse's head from the two men who stood before him, and to proceed on his journey, three inert Ott horseback suddenly made their appearance close to hint and surrohnded hint. They commenced au attack upon M. Grenier, they all appeared to be armed, and supposed to be whit satires or entlasso; the foremost of the three attact•ed hi" roust furiously with his deadly weapon, the use of which be appeared extremely expert at, much wore su than the other tWer Finding himself thus closely attached by so many armed men, any resistance . on his part he Was convinced would be ineffectual, he, therefore, being eAtreinely well mounted, put spurs to his horse, and went off at full speed, the villains also being well mounted followed him and kept up with hint pretty well, and- contitmed constantly cutting at him with their cutlasses _orsabri-s, by which they inflicted several severe wounds in different parts•of his body. At one time they were so closely tipiin linu, and their cuts at hint so numerous, that lie expected every one he received would prove fatal; they- were then going at full gallop.— Grenier, to relieve himself, suddenly pulling up his horse, they not being prepared for such . a sudden stoppage, their horses went on rue some time at ftill speed, they, however, Girding what had taken place„ pulled up their horses, and shortly were enabled to renew their dating attack. M. Gre nier then, to ;mild their outragetius and dangerous attache upon hint, turned his horse suddenly into a cross road, with out knowing where it led, being a stranger to that part ()isle country, except the road between London' and Ha: row, the villains pursued him, and cutting at hit», Whenever an oppor tunity offered, with their cutlasses or sahies, and in this pe rilous situation he continued till be came within sight of an inhabited house, when on his calling out for help, the villains left hint, lode off and made their escape. ' M. Grenier rode up to the house, the inhabitants of which very hunianery rendered hint every assistance in their power, and he made them acquainted, in the best way he could, labouring,'as he does, under the disadvantage of not being sufficiently acquaint ed with the English language to make himself understood ; but the state of his person, from the wounds lie bad receiVed, spoke volumes as to the cruel and outrageous matinee in which he had been treated. His bat haei• - heel, cut through three times, the hack part (if his head was .Cat, tend severa l wounds on his head. The principal aim' of the villains'ap-; peered to be at his head, and his tortuoate • and providential escape with .his life is supposed to be owing to his riding a higher horse Allan that of any of the villains, together with the swift pace at. which the horses went, and the darkness of the night, through which they had •neither power nor Means of taking au aim. His 'shonblerS . - mut other parts of his body were wounded, and his clothes wt re very much. cut. The iithabitants of the house not only . rendered hint every assistance as to taking care of . his wounds, &c. but also . procured men to, put hint in the right road again, and to guard hint to the .lioliassaditr's' house: - Its hat'been removed' from there to his Excellency's house in Ptptlan to receive the best possible surgical advice, Ire keeps his bed, but it is hoped that mow. of his Wojlildi will piove mortal. Not the least suspicion has yet arisen against, any' person or persons as to their being the perpetrators of this barrid and brutal attack upon M. Grereiet, or as to the cause fur it thtir eondtict tint being like thattif robbers, suer) a circumstance of mounted highwaymen in this country, atoned with cutlasses or satires, never being heard of ; and all the villains who attacked M. Grenier appvared to understand the use of those instruments CX trewelf well; one of the cuts in the hack of M. Grenier's head or neck appears ti, have' Beers given by a hack-banded rut from the salire the object was to wound or murder him, so as to enable therm to take'pos session of the- dispatches frdm France, the object it was to . answer cannot he conjectured.—On the 'circumstances of this 'dating and outrageous attack being conmiunicated by his Ex cellency the Ambassador to Lord Sidarouth, the Noble Vis count, with the greatest promptitude, set • tlie•Whole of the Bow-street Office strength to work, to uSh•every possible ex ertion to- trace out the daring offenders,-,Yesterday Mr. B 1 KNI a, the Magistrate, had a Consultation with his Lordship upon the subject. The Magistrate proceeded fo the Ambas sador's house in •Portlaudlitace, where he saw M. Grenier in bed, and took his olepiisition' very fully upon the subject, at least as notch as the nature of the case wiuld admit of —Un der the circumstances of M. Grenier knowing but little of the English language, and being a stranger in a great degree to the country where the outrageous attack Was made upon him, and owing to the.darkness of the night, lie could give but a . tery faint description of the radians persons. . The two men on foot, whit originally stopped M. Grenier's liorse,'are represented to hare the a ppearance of labouritig men. The three assassins on horseback wore cloaks.,—On the conduct of this daring gang of assassins being made known to his Ma jesty, he was graciously pleased to command Lord Sidmoutit toissue a Proclamation, offering a reward of 2001. for flue de tection tend apprehension of the villains." • WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.—This morning the business of these Sessions commenced :before F.
