SWITZERLAND.

We have received news from Berne to the 6th
instant. The envoy of the Vicar of the Empire had
sent, on the evening of the 4th inst., the following note
to the federal govert.ment :
After the unfortunate result of the revolution attempted
by Becker end his companions in the grand duchy of Bs.
the greater part of the fugitives retired into Switzerland.
The German aovernmenta met in confederation never had
the idea of demanding their extradition, or to require that
an asylum should be refused to them, so hen es the refugees
could be considered as pacific inhabitants of Swetzerised.
But such they have never been, or at least only
for a very short time. These refugees, inhahiting the
frontiers, have continued uninterruptedly the r machinations,
have entertained is xrespondence with the inhabitants of
Southern Germany, have distributed comer us seditious
puhliestions, have intertered to eieetroy the elis6pline of the
German troops, and have provoked such an axita.ion in the
said states that the employment of a eimettl. rab:e body of
troops has become nenseary. These circumstances have
compelled the Germanic diet, which until the estehlishinent
of the central provisional power had to protect the common
interests of Germany, to take fitting measures to prevent
the disturbance of the tranquillity of the G mare states.
To this end it addressed on June 30 to the directory a
note, in which, felting out the motive of coca-
plaint, it demanded urgently that the armed refugees
should be compelled to quit the iron ier cantons, where
they were beginning to organise armed bands. Major
de Lirt, in the service of Bavaria, wee charged to
deliver this note personally, and to furnish the necessary in-
cidental information. lii addressed on 3rd August, to the
Archduke, Vim, of the Empire, who had been charged with
the central power of Germany, a report of his mission, sn-
eezing a verbal note addressed to him by the President of
the Director 7. This verbal note teetered the complaints of
the Germanic dirt uufounded, and that alter communication
with the cantonal governments, there could be no pretence
toaunt that there was ary orgar.lsation of corps /runes,
military exercises of the refugees and their assemblage with
any hostile intent; that, on the contrary, these refugees were
peaceable, submitted em they were to a special control by the
cantonal authorities, who had an earnest desire not
to commit en abuse of the right of asylum,
contrary to the interests of Switzerland, as well se
the policy she had until then followed. Atter such declara-
tions and lament*, the government or the Vicar of the
Empire would submit to public opinion if the meuures
taken by the Germanic Diet for the safety. of the German
territory were justified, and if the information furnished by
the cantonal governments were true. Struve and his /110•
elates, whale presence and agitations slong the frontiers of
Germany would have justified the cam/saints of the Ger-
manic diet, have, within a few days, made su invasion to
the grand duchy of Barlett. Rapine and forced con.
tributions have marked their passage, and their pro-
clamations have but too clearly shown that the
of jest of their criminal enterprise was the violent dis-
turbance of existing order, with a view of substituting, under
the mama of liberty, the most fearful terrorism and the mast
terrible d. spotism. Although the ardour of the imperial
troops, and the attachment of the citizen to their constitia-
' gen and to la fed order, have caused the infamous plan of
these corpafranet to fail, this event still enjoins on the
government of the Vicar of the Empire to take such measures
lam are caged for by the honour and safety of Germany. The
preparations for this invasion could nut have escaped the
attention of the cantonal governments; and this,which is the
moat flagrant violation of the rights of nations, has taken
place a violation for which the government of the Vicar of the
Idespire regal res complete satisfaction, and demands it with the
least possible delay. The central provisional goveromenthas
'treacly expressed the high value it attaches to remain in the
most amicable relations with the Swiss coufederation, but, at
the same time, it cannot lose sight of the tensity of the duties
imposed on it with reference to Germany, and it will always
know how to fulfil them. It is in conformity with them
duties that it demands that the governments of the cantons,
in which is the organisation of tee corps.:francs, and from the
territory of which their invasion has taken place, shall pro-
ceed, without delay, to a serious inquiry, and punishment of
the culpable functionaries and authorities, that all the re-
fares shall be immediately disarmed, and that if the aced-
ing them entirely out of the canton shall be unconstitabond
they shall be sent to a convenient distance from the
German frontiers and placed under the surveillance of the
police, in short that it be declared in a positive manner what
guarantees can be given that sueh events, calculated to de-
stroy the germs of thirty in Germany, shall not again occur.
If these demands be not attended to, with the shortest pos-
sible delay, the gtivernment of the Vicar of the Empire, Mr
pressed with the convietion that it enters the lists for and
not against liberty, and that it will have for adversaries not
the Swiss people, but those who despise law and civilizations
will take all the requisite means, justified be the above USW
timed violations of the rights of nations and required by the
honour of Germany.—(Signed) Fazzc. Itavasum—Berse,
Oct. 4, 1848.
The Vorort assembled on the evening of the sth to
deliberate on this diplomatic incident

MADRID, Oc:r. 4.

The following facts which have been communicated to me
from a source worthy of entire cot fidenee will present •
characteristic sample of the atrocities perpetrated by the
present government, and passed over in silence or totally
misrepresentrd by the press.
Some days ago there appeared in the ministerial journal,
an account of a batt's with a 'tarty of Itiontemolinists, tweet'
three league s Imm Madrid. The action was represented as
• brilliant victory on the put of the Queen's troops. The
true account ot this betimes' is a horrible instance of perfidy
and murder. Nine members of the u met p dice had been
tuned off. They were officers of that 'to-ratifiable body, deep
in the coilidenee of persons high in office and privy to state
secrete of importance. Two other agents of the govennneet
w. re set on to decoy these nine men to their destraction.
Working upon their di.conteat at dismissal, the spies tepee-
elated how easily they migbtjoin the faction ofPeco,then nothr
from Toledo. Two days march would put within their resch
ample means of revenge. In flue, it was settled that the
eleven should make for Peso's mountain-hold. They ended
from Madrid one afternoon without arms, the spies
to obtain a supply of these at a certain place on the way,
walked three leagues to a woody hillside in the denims' of
the Duchess of Chinchon, near Beading, where they meet
the nigh: in a el.arcoel-burner's but. Meantime the captair
general, put on the alert by the informers, had despatched
four companies of soldiers, respectively, to four points well
calculated for intercepting the party. The two spies slipt
away on different pretests during the night, and gave notice
to the nearest company of the a hereabouts of their victim.
The soldiers reached the spot indicated early in the
morning. The nine men, dressed in common clothes,
and unarmed, were seated on the Ground at break-
fast. The firm i..timation which they received al
the approach of the military w.s a volley of musquetry
which killed two of their number upon the spot, aad
wounded some of the rest. In attempting to fly two awe
were killed, and all the rest but one dargerouny wounded.
This is the plain tale of the brilliant action of Boadilla!
Notice was given yesterday to the celadores, or had.
policemen of each barrio or district of the capital, to mow
tain all the suspicious persons of their respective dividon%
end arrest them forthwith. In order to stimulate the real el
this municipal police, it was announced to them that if the
secret police of the government bad to eff. ct any captures
after this scrutiny on the part of the celael rev, such glean-
lags would be imputed as instances of remissness to the
latter, and cause their suspension.
:the Le Mancha faction of Peco and B.oso, whoa jodes
were wpm out, have got fresh horard from Ciudad -Neal,
through the friendly (Aces of a subaltern officer of cavalry
quartered in that city, who met P.oyo and hi. men one dark
and stormy night at a gate from which he Lad seduced the
guard, and fled with them on the fresh stein's.

THE CHOLERA.

THE LEVANT.

By the Levant mail we are in pommel= of letters
from our correspondents at Malta, Athena, and Con-
stantinople se cerolly of the 2nd of October, the 28th
and 25th of September. Fever and ague were doing
their worst upon our troops in Malta, and that, too,
whilst the inhabitants of the island were generally
healthy. The letters from Athens state that the
chamber had been closed by royal ordinance. In con-
sequence of the late fires in Constant:nople an order
had been published there, forbidding the building of
houses of weed.
The following are the letters of our correspondents;
MALTA, OCT. 2.
There has been, and still exists, a (rightist' mortality
amongst the troops twee. This was expected by all who
know the climate of Malta. I anticipated it, and in fact
stated it, in one of my former letters, wherein I described
the soldiers on guard being compelled to wear the same
clothing, trousers excepted, with the thermometer at 93eleg.
and 'spread to the glare of a beat of 200 diva, r they would
in the depth of winter ; and further, daring this ken, whoa
every one strove to de with as little clocking as postale,
being amnia d to pat on a great gr.y con, waking five or
six rails. I said it weekilling men, and that • change of
mason and setting in of the rains would lay up half the re
giment in apt al ; and so it has proved. The hospitals are
crowded with patients suffering under fever and ague,
and so debilitated are some of these man, that • relaxation,
from eating • few grapes, generally carries them .1
in a few hours. The 69th and artillery, in Fa
St. Elmo, have suffered severely, not a day paring
without one two, or three death'. Two companies
69th have brit removed to 11= rt Mason for change of sir.
I will send you • return of the deaths next packet. It is to
be hoped that the home authorities will investigate the
cease of this Cekness amongst the troops, especially as at the
present moment the inhabitants ware never mere healthy,—
in bet, there was not one death last week in all the city of
Fsletta. The Terrible left on the 28th ult. for Naples. She
was fillet, even to the captain's cabin, with stores and pro.
vinous for the fleet. The bank at Palermo has suspended
cab payments, and Wined notes. Her Majesty's sloop,
Frolic, armed here on the 30th in nine days from Gibraltar.
The Triton came in la tight with the overland mail of the
25th ult.
ATHENS, Barr. 28.
At last, after thirteen mouths' bickering sad quarrelling,
the amber has been closed by a royal oedema*, to the
great joy of the ministry, no doubt, who in regard to that
bogy were something like a drag chain. They are new
relieved for some time from the impudent inquiries
of the reforming members into than trifling affairs
called peculation, to the tune of some three hundred
thousand dramas, so peculiarly the perquisites of the
ministers of the crown. The King and Queen intend r est
week to take • tour into the provinces foe a few weeks. We
have no cholera yet in Greece, air any signs of it. There

which, when dry, will be smooth and hard like stone. By

The Meows. Bmdehaw, of Tipperary, were stopped
on their way home on Saturday from Clonmel by two
armed men. This proceeding, which happily their
courage prevented from terminating violently, is said
to be the first operation against Mr. O'Brien'. jurors.
The Clonmel reporter of the Freeman's Journal
supplies the following perticulars
On Sunday evening, as two of the jurors summoned for
the special commission, the Mess. Bradshaw, of Tipperary,
were driving in from that town in a gig, when within a mile
of Clonmel, at a place called Summerville, they were stepped
by two persons who came on the road from out of en adjoin-
ing field; one of the men caught hold of the reins, and,
checking the bores suddenly, elmost threw him on his
haunches. One of the gentlemen lumped out, and, present-
ing a cocked pistol at one of the men, laid hold of Men ; the
other at ones made off. The gentleman who remained in
the gig drove as fast as be could Into Clonmel for the police,
