SWITZERLAND.

The Vienna Press* says, that at the beginning of
last week despatches were sent off to Radetzky, in-
structing him to demand instant satisfaction for the
expulsion of the Lombard Capuchins from Ticino.
The Gazette of Sacoy states that General Kalber-
matten, who has been for many months breaking the
laws both of Switzerland and Piedmont, by secretly
enrolling soldiers for the Pope, has just been ex-
pelled from the states. The Royal Carabineers at
the station of Evian had arrested in that town four
young men, from 22 to 28 years of age, who came
from Switzerland by SG Gindolph, and were demand-
ing the address of the generaL these men were
without passports, and one of them bad a letter
directed to General Ealbermatten. After under-
going a long examination, they at length avowed
that they had been enlisted in the canton of the
Valais by a recruiting agent to serve in the army of
the Pope, and that they were going to the general to
be definitively enrolled by him, and receive their
pass and travelling allowance. The government
understanding by this avowal that General Kalber-
matten, and a certain M. Desjardin, calling himself
his aide-de-camp, were engaged in enlisting for a
foreign power, ordered his immediate expulsion from
the territory. The four recruits were conducted by
the Carabineers to the frontier of the Valais, by
which they re-entered Switzerland. General Kal-
bermatten's occupation in Savoy has long been no-
torious, but positive legal proof of the enlistments
have been difficult to obtain.
