cantons, has pealed a resolution pronouncing the sepa-
rate league formed by seven of these cantons to be incom-
patible with the pact which is the basis of the cm-
federacy, and declaring its immediate dissolution. To
this resolution the representativesof the seven cantons
in the diet have replied by a protest, in which resist-
ance to the resolution is announced on the part of the
seven cantons. To this protest a rejoinder is given by
the diet, in tho shapeof a declaration, that all military
employhi in the federal service who shall continue in
or enter the service of the seven cantons shall be
cashiered, and considered in a state of insurrection or
mutiny. This last resolution is an obvious
and inevitable corrolary of the first. The
peculiar character and position which Switzer-
land holds among the states of Europe,
render it natural and unavoidable that the
parties to this internal struggle should be mainly in-
fluenced by the sentiments with which the European
powers regard them respectively; and, accordingtothe
preponderance of diplomatic support and countenance
which they receive, be more or less disposed to mutual
accommodation or compromise. The questions at
issue being such as to enlist the sympathies
of the despotic powers in favour of the
'minority of the cantons, their representatives are
in the anomalous position of fomenting the disunion
by encouraging the resistance of the minority against
the majority, or, to speak more correctly, of the seven
cantons in
_their revolt against the federal
.govern-
meat. If the terms of the pact famed In 1815
and er the sanction of the great powers of Europe,
'which then guaranteed the neurality and independ-1
ence of Switzerland, be eo obscure as to leave
doubts as to the cantonal as distinguished
from the federal rights, it is contended that the
pact ought to be revised, with the view of
removing this obscurity; and that such obscurity
does exist is practically proved by the pre-
sent disputes between the cantons and the sepa-
rate league, which affirm that their measures do not
violate the pact and the diet, the majority of which
declare they do. Bat this revision is opposed by the
cantons of the league, because its result will neoes-
eerily be in the sense of the majority ; because, in
fact, it is a question prejudged by the only tribunal
by which it can be decided. It is opposed by the
diplomacy of France, and of the absolute courts, on
the alleged ground that the relations of these states
with Switzerland is founded on the pact of 1815,
and must be dissolved if any change be made
in that pact to which these powers are not parties.
Such is briefly the Swiss question, both internal and
international, and it is impossible not to see in it the
seeds of 'domestic collision and probable foreign
intervention. _ .

An association, formed at Lausanne, calling itself
the Patriotic Association of Vaud, on the announce-
ment of the resolution of the diet to dissolve the sepa-
rate league, issued a manifesto in which the radical
spirit was carried to an excess, the party throughout
Switzerland being called on to arm itself. The grand
council of the canton took this opportunity to refute
the charges of ultra-radicalism made against it, by
immediately publishing a decree dissolving the
patriotic association and denouncing its manifesto.
While things are proceeding thus in the liberal
cantons, the separatist cantons are actively engaged
in enlisting and organising an armed force to resist
any attempt which the Vorort may make to enforce
the execution of the resolution of the diet. Arms and
military equipments are amply supplied from abroad,
and whatever may be the truth of the matter, the
public believes that the agents of the despotic courts
and those of France are directly or indirectly. the
sources from which these supplies are derived.
The French ambassador, M. Bois le Comte, has
intimated to the government of Berne, that M. Jenni,
having declarei that the collar of his terrier was not
intended to immitate the ribbon and cross of the
Legion of Honour, M. Bois le Comte withdrew his
note complaining against M. Jenni. L' Union Mon or-
claque says the government, having lately addressed
a note to Lord Palmerston inviting the co-opera-
tion of England with France and Austria, in an
intervention in the Swiss affair, has received a reply
1 declining the invitation with a cold politeness. This
answer is said to have given much embarrassment
and uneasiness at Neuilly and the Hotel des Capu-
cines. _ _

The unusu d fall of rain, which continued for thirty-
six hours, and created serious alarms for the harvest,
has been succeeded by fair weather and a moderate
temperature. The accounts from all the provinces
are of the most favourable nature, and there is nt
present every reason to expect that the hopes enter-
tained hitherto, as to the harvest and the vintage, I
will not be disappointed.
The price of bread in Paris will fall, on the let of
August, to ten sous per kilogramme, equivalent to
something less than 2id. per lb.
The situation of M. Teste gives the liveliest unea-
siness to his family and friends. He is now attacked
with a serious disease of the heart. The remedies
which his medical attendants have resorted to to
restore the circulation to its normal state, have all
failed.
The police made a general search on Tuesday in
all the shops for the sale of arms in Paris. Rumours
of some disturbance on the 27th were still circulated,
bat attracted neither attention nor credit
