PRECARIOUS POSITION OF SWITZE,R. -

LAND.
The Paris correspondent of the Times says that

condition which the Helvetic Confederation may
be reduced to by the annexation of Savoy to
France.

RUMOURED CONSPIRACY AGAINST

PEACE BETWEEN SPAIN AND MOROCCO.

was concluded.

PROPOSED CONGRESS.

The Herald understands it is likely that a con-
gress of the Great Powers will be held in the
course of a few weeks, and that the place of
meeting will be London.

NEW ASPECT OF FOREIGN POLITICS.

The Times looks upon the debate in the House
of Commons, last night, as a point of departure
for new combinations in Europe.
Lord J. Russell, as Minister for Foreign Affairs,
declares that he no longer feels any confidence in
the moderation or peaceful intentions of the Elfs-
peror of the French. He anticipates that.the
Emperor will be led on to commit other acts of
aggression, the consequence of which must be to
estrange England from the side of France, and
induce her to seek safety in the society of other
nations of Europe.
The Times remarks, that it is an unhappy tune
to declare ourselves slighted and betrayed. The
Emperor has gained all his objects. He has
crippled Austria, neutralised Russia, Lucid co4ei-
Hated Italy ; and thus ends, according to*-the
Times, that strong hope of mutual confidence and
good will based on commercial intercourse.

The price of English copper was yesterday
reduced 10s. per ton for unmanufactured, and
id. per lb. for sheet.
The hired shipwrights now employed in Ports-
mouth Dockyard, in excess of the authorised num-
ber, are to be discharged at the rate of fifty per
week. The other trades in proportion. The
.flrJt
discharge will take place on Saturday nett.
The Times city article exposes the ill-judged
policy of the PortugueSe Government in its deal-
ings with foreign capitalists, and adduces a
flagrant example in the case of Sir Morton Peto,
whose claims, though admitted, are shuffled off in
the shabbiest manner.

FOREIGN LOANS.
Sweden announces her intention to raise' a
foreign loan of 5f millions sterling for railway
purposes, and invites tenders from foreign capi-
talists. The sum is considered a large one for a
small state.

Paris letters mention that new attempts ,are
expected to be made to raise a rather. considerable
Russian loan, but that there will be littlelyrospect
of its finding favour.

The price of the new Austrian 6 per Cent. Loan:
will be about 95 at Vienna, reckoning the depre-
ciated paper with which it is to be met, and-this
would be equal to only £7l sterling; still, it is-not
expected there will be any subscribers, except
under a system of virtual compulsion. •

and will be in London in a day or two.
