Respecting the affairs of Switzerland, a corre-
spondent of the Journal des Debuts writes from Berne,
on the 20th, as follows :
The celebrated note of Lord Palmerston has not yet been
made public. This has not failed to perplex those who, on
the faith of certain doubtful communications, had eagerly
proclaimed that England had suddenly formed an alliance
with the radicals, and that she had promised to protect them
in their schemes. They imagined that no effectual response
could be given to the incredulous, who ceased not to ask,
" Then why not publish the note 1" Or rather they thought
that the only answer would bean immediate publication of the
document. Unless I am mistaken we have here the un-
revelment of the enigma. Mr. Peel contented himself with
reading the note to M. Ochsenbein, not giving him a copy
of the same. It is said that M. Ochsenbeio, recollecting
himself somewhat late, wrote some days since to the English
charge d'affaires, begging him to transmit him a copy, and
that Mr. Peel answered he had not authority for so doing.
It is added, but I will not answer for the correctness of the
rumour, that Mr. Peel sent to London for instructions on
the subject. In a few days we shall know how we stand.
The military preparations still continue. I spoke in my
last letter of those of the Sonderbuud ; those of the radical
cantons are prosecuted with not less activity. The soldiers
are daily exercised; every saddler in the canton of Berne is
repairing or making harness for the cavalry; the horses are
being recruited in the country, where the proprietors are
paid at the rate of two francs or two franca and a half per
diem for their keep. M. Ocheenbein has caused twelve
pieces of cannon to be brought from Berthond. You know
that there are al resdv four batteries at Berno is full readi-
ness. You will thus perceive that preparations are going on'
on either side, and it would be somewhat surprising should
all this be to no purpose.

MADRID, Arousr le.
Don Francisco d'Assis has repented him of the
answer which he caused to be given on Monday to
Senor Benavides. I announced yesterday that when
that minister notified to the King, through his major-
domo, that he was charged with the delivery of a
message from the sovereign, the first subject of the
realm replied that he should not be at leisure to re-
ceive that message till Thursday. This answer
neither appeared respectful towards the head of the
state, to whose messages all lieges' ears ought to be at
once open and attentive, nor considerate towards
her subjects, whose minds were thus kept up-
on the tenter-hooks of suspense for four days
concerning the issue of a business which takes
precedence, and bars the progress of all others con-
nected with their highest interests. The Faro at-
tempted to gloss over the impropriety by averring
that the King had no knowledge of the subject on
which the Home Minister desired to confer with him
—an excuse doubly absurd and inexact, as Benavides
had already entered into negotiations with the King
on this matter; and the official note stated positively
that he was charged to communicate the " wishes of
the Queen." If the consort wished to Fain time for
deliberation, he might at least have received the mes-
sage, and deferred his answer. And this seems to
have been the course which, upon second thoughts,
he decided to take. For a few hours after
displaying this ungracious fit of inaccessibility,
he sent to tell Senor Benavides that he
should be at leisure to receive him to-day
at one. But no one expects that a terminative result
will follow from the anticipated interview. Imme-
diately after Benavides had communicated his official
note on Monday, a courier was despatched from the
French embassy to Bayonne. It was said that he
had orders to reach that place in 36 hours, to com-
municate thence by telegraph with Paris, and then to
post back to Madrid with telegraphic despatches
from the French government. This report occa-
sioned considerable excitement among the smelters
and denouncers of French plots, and has given the
Leo an occasion, which it seldom neglects, to furbish
and clap on its plumy armour of patriotic souvenirs,
such as the Dos de Mayo, B.:c.
General Pavia has taken occasion of a note ad-
dressed by the alealde of Salient to the military com-
mander at Manresa, to indulge in some general reflec-
tions upon the tumultuary and incendiary tendencies
of the liberals as a party, which have set the pro-
gresista journals of the capital bristling with just
wrath; forgeneral denunciations of this sort are par-
ticularly misplaced in an official bulletin, and on the
present occasion they are based upon the affirmation
of the mayor of a small town that some youths, who
had fled to join the rebels, had served under the
central junta in '43. Pavia's words are: "It is the
centralists, the thorough-going revolutionists, who have
now proposed to make common cause vrith the Pretender.
They unite to rob and assassinate with the Carlists
coming out of France, and with fugitive felons, the
offscourings of prisons and presidios. They all now
conspire to one end, to subvert the legitimate throne,
and set up upon its ruins anarchy and despotism."
It appears from the alcalde's letter that he had re-
ceived orders to seize upon the fathers of the young
men who had joined the rebels, and place them at the
disposition of the military commander at Mimeos
(another atrocious act of tyranny). He entreated to
be excused from complying with this order, as the
rebels had paid a visit to his country-house, and,
having seized upon his son, threatened to shoot their
hostage if the alealde delivered up the fathers of the
young. rebels to the military authority. The bitter,
engrained political party rancour of Pavia is another
reason why he should not be entrusted with the
arbitrary authority of captain-general of a province.
Col. I). Francisco Campuzano dislodged on the 10th
the bands of Borjee, and other cabecillas, from their
position near La Bisbal, dispersed them, killed three,
wounded some, and took one prisoner. The troops
sustained no loss.

Three rebels of the band of Pozaa, coming to Gmcia,
a suburb of Barcelona, to recruit, were surprised in a
deserted house by the soldiers. One of them was shot
in his attempt to escape, and the two others, captain
and lieutenant of the baud, were taken prisoners, and
will be executed. Other versions (the above is the
Gazette account) represent the party surprised as
gamblers and not rebels.
Letters from Corunna state that a party of seventy
mounted Carlists entered Mellid (between Santiago
and Lugo, in Gallicia) on the 12th. They carried off
with them the proveedor of the troops. The soldiers
shut themselves up in the convent, which 'erre' them
as a rasafiterte, or fortified barrack. The Ebaniata
has not been found since he crossed the Minho. Other
bands were spoken of as having appeared in different
parts of Gallicia. The progresistas cry out with
every fresh insurrectionary news from the provinces,
" There is only one possible way of disarming the
rebels: arm the national militia." "And who, say the
moderados, "are to disarm the national militia P" Any-
how the offing looks queer. If 21,000 troops in Cata-
lonia have been able to do just nothing to put down
the rebellion, if it has continually gained on them, it
can scarcely be hoped that 9,000 additional soldiers
will end the war. More are not disposable. Ru-
mours of disturbances are continually pouring in from
other quarters. The only visible alternative, if they
do not arm the militia, is to call in the French.

Brunelli is said to have presented to thegovern-
ment a diplomatic note on the subject of the distress
of the clergy.

The Clamor exhorts the progresistas of the pro-
vinces to exert themselves in the coming elections to

The Duke of Vcragua has offered several bulls of

which are destined to animate the languishing works
