RELIGION.
7IS this, my friend, that makes our morning
'Tis this that uilds the horror of our night.
When weiith' 'orGkes its and „ hen friends are few,
When friends are faithlefs, or when foes purine :
'Lis this that wards the blow,pr wills the smart—
Disarm, affliction, or repels its dart ;
Withio.the bread bids pitted rapture riffe—
Bids fniiling conference spread her cloudleft Ikies.
WheQ pleasure fafeinates the mental light, ra ™,
Affliction purifies the vifnal ray, . /
Religion ll^ls the drear, the ontr,'d night.

From Europe.
THOUGH we continue, almost daily, to re l
ceive foreign papers, they do not furnifh any thing
but minor events.
The civil war which we have mentioned as rag
ing i Switzerland, becomes daily mure fcrious.
The irfargents (as the Swiss peasantry are now
called m tbofe papers that < few years fincte would
have denominated them patriots) are in considera
ble force in federal Cantons; and b.te fworoto
“ live fee or die." The Gallo-Helvetic troops
are not numerous —mot exceeding three thousand ;
and have had several engagements with the patri
ots. At Baten thirty of the latter have been kill
ed ; but the regular troops were obj ged to yield
to the fitpei ior numbers of their opponents. Zu-,
rich was in pofleffion of the patriots ; and tin Hel
vetic troops, after a short cannonade, were uc-ef
Stated to agree to an armithce tor three days.—
The points of the controvert; appear to be,
whether the Swiss (hall, or fhdl not, (fallow
the Conftitotion which Bonaparte has prefcrib
cd to tittn. V will be rqolleocd, that the French
government, a few months Since, made a merit of
having withdrawn their troops from Switzerland
—they till now renew their eld plea of " impe
rious necessity," and order them to return.'
The belt informed European politicians fay,
that he plan for dividing the Turkish dominions
between France, Russia and Audria, is very far
from being abandoned ; and that thejneafures to
effect thit division are in Heady, though secret op
eration. France, it is said, is to have Egypt for
her Ihare of the plunder. Wb-'n this is-tW case,
another w& between Gre^t-Britain arid France
will take place immediately. The English have
entirely evacuated Egypt ; and the power of the
Grand Seignior is opposed by the native Beys who
are in force in Upper Egypt, .
Theinveterac ol Bmaparte appears to be con
fined vholly to Republics. When the “ infuriat
ed" Genera Lafnes, the late French Minister at
Lifbou, arrived at Paris, he receiveda severe re
buff from Bonaparte, who immediate! put him
Coventry, at his residence n Normandy, A
nee, Minider is to be sent immediately to the
Court of Lisbon, who will doubtless be inttrutted
to assure the Prince Regent, that Napoleon the
Firll, will not permit the freaks of a petulent min
liter to destroy the good tinderftanding which
ought ever to exist between Independent Mon
archs. [Centinel,
