ins Caere within a brief space afterwards, besides other

tyrannous majority in Switzerland, the insults and outrage,
to the clergy, and the religion of the minority, the trireme
persecution and plundering of individuals among that mi-
nority, whose only crime was to discharge faithfully the
duties imposed. on them by their fellow-citizens, an urgent
case had not arisen for the intervention of the powers whet
guaranteed, in 1815, the cantonal independence of Swann,-
land ?—when
The SPEAKER interposed and said the hon. member
