A private meeting of the magistrates of the Trowbridge

Mr. Ludlow, Mr. Walmealey, the Rev. R. Crawley, and the
Mews. Stancomb, were present ; and also Captain Mere-

beads were occupied first of all in satisfying themselves with
regard to the bloody garment of whieheo much was made at
Mr. Seundera's inquiry. Mr. Stapleton, the surgeon, at
the rseegqret of the magistrates detailed what he knew in
connexion with the garment. We learn that that explana-
tion was in every way satisfactory, and the bench have no
doubt whatever that the garment has no connexion with
this murder. The magistrates.were afterwards occupied in
dovish" the neeswary arrangements for the contemplated
wooed inquest, but they postponed their decision until the
result of the application shall have been made known.

Note of the French ambassador in Switzerland
to the President of the Confederation on the pro-
-4lngs which took place on Sept. Ff, 1860, in the
ay station at Sion respecting the French flag :
Beam, Oot. 9, moo.
Presideat,—The Emperor's government has been
Warned of the regrettable proceedings which took place at
the ripening o the mslway at Sion on Sept. 27.
This fresh Moult to the French flag makes it imperatively
sesessary that the Federal Council should take steps to
show that it highly disapproves of the hostile sentiments
which a portion of the population, misguided by unjust pro-
vocations, manifested towards France. I have therefore
to demand of your Excellency that the authors of that re-
prehensible manifsatetioe be immediately discovered and
punished.

Your Excellency, I ham will readily comprehend bow
desirable it is that the good relations which it is neceasary
to maintain between two countrice should not stiffer a
lamentable intentiption through any fresh delay in arced-
.

highly disapproves.._
sentiments which a portion of the population, misguided by
eaten provocations, moaned towards Frame, and he de-
minds its immediate and decided interference for the dis-
may and punishment of the audio's of this reprehensible
manifestation, adding that if the metafiction which is
lastly due to France should be further delayed, this
must lamentably interrupt the good relations which it is
necessary to maintain between two countries.
The:Peden' Connell is early as Sept. 30 received from
the mouth of the President of the Council of the Canton of
the 'Valais information of the procesdap that took plies
in the railway station at Sion oar the 27th of that month,
and fat the same time it received an wrourance that dem.
would be immediately taken in accordance with the laws of
the canton against the &talon of this in all respects lenient-
thle manifestation.
Its early as Oct. 5, the Council of the Vallais issued a
proclamation to the people declaring its entire disap-
revel of leach seta committed by individuals, and ..,
fedliddicg such acts in future. The Council has, more
wevated the offenders before the proper tribunals, r
in In far am they acted against the law and the authorities •
charged with its execution. In so doing the said govern- •.4
meat believed that it took the proper manures in a owe • •
to which no international character can be attributed, and • 1
fc which the railway company had made no camplaink
This sompany, which displayed the colours at Sae, can only ,
le regarded as a Swiss company. Their rights are based on
a ffiries ocemomion ; they work to this day exclusively on
oar territory ; they stand under the protection of our laws ;
red accordingly they have to appeal to Swiss tribunals if
they imagine themselves injured in their rights or property.
The Federal Cornell, which regards the matter in the
Woe light as the ipmenimeat of the Vasa, oonekkek
therefore, that the Sion affair hes through the inaurame.
adopted by that government received a jest, simple, and ,
saaclusin settlement. If, as the aforesaid despatch of the
French Ambameador shows, the French government is of
antrary opinion, that despatch shows also that only erro-
mous and exaggerated reports could have called it into
Mina Only in this way can the Federal Caused explain :
the waiter to it. own satisfaction, especially as it results
lees the Worm:dice of wholly impartial and trustworthy
lobo were present et the iacident, that only are
Sig was taken away from the train, that that
ens immediately afterwards replaced, and moreover that
this flag here the Italian and not the French colours. This
circumstance is confirmed by trustworthy witnesses, so- •
the complaint of the Marquis Turgot falls to the ground of •::
itaelf.

But even granting that it was a flag with the French
national colours that was takes from the locomotive, the
Federal Comma would not see in that a case calling for
diplomatic intervention. The Federal Council cannot con-
skier foreign flags hoisted on Swiss territory by individual
societies, or companies, without official character or faders/
authority, as anything hat ornaments, chosen to serve that
purpose by the person who display them, having the same
rights as any other private property, but to which they can-
not attribute anything of a national character, and which
they cannot look upon as m any way representative of the
nation whose colours they bear.
If we look for the principal cause of the event of the 27th
Sept., we find it undoubtedly in the acts of the railway com-
pany Seel', which, instead of obeying the official request
which the government of the Valais sent it by a special •
messeuger, to abstain from ornamenting the train with any-
thing that could give occasion or pretext to disagreeable
demonstrations, first debated whether it should obey this
mimed or not, and then concluded not to obey it, thus-
offeriag a lamentable provocation.
The Federal Council sincerely regrets the excitement of
men's minds which hen been manifested by a part of the
population on the frontiers of the two countries, as well as
the deeds to which it has given rise on both aides. Switzer-
' land, however, has no occasion to reproach herself with
anything that may have brought about such a state of
things, and no one wishes more than the Federal
Council s return to the former friendly relations. But
to this end it is more than ever necessary that
people should on both sides abstain from everything
that may provoke each other, and that both sides should
avoid atts‘hing importance to isolated manifestations which
are only the work of s few individuals, and which are dis-
approved of by the authorities of the country and the
vast mvority of the inhabitants.
The Fedora Council, in giving these explanations to.the
French charse-d'affaires, takes the opportunity of assuring
Count de Marsignae of its perfect consideration.
In the name of the Swim Federal Council,
Fe= Hamm, President of the Council.
Sofia, Chancellor of the Council.
