The Swiss government has completely defeated
M ThouvenePs attempt, in his despatch of March
13, to place it before the world as wishing to ob-
tain the dismemberment of Savoy by a private
treaty. It has published the memorandum which
Dr. Kern gave M. Thouvenel on the 13th of March,
and in which the wishes of the Swiss Federal
Council are stated with a clearness which makes mis-
representation inexcusable. Dr. Kern saw M. Thou-
venel on the 12th of March, and the latter
expressed a desire to be furnished with his obser-
vations in writing. The following day, therefore,
the very day on which M. Thouvenel's celebrated
despatch was dated, Dr. Kern gave him this memo-
, randum, in which he says : Either the status
quo should be maintained—and this is what we
have before all things desired and still desire--or
a scheme should be negotiated such as will be
likely to obtain the sanction of Europe," meaning
evidently the union of North Savoy with Switzer-
land. Dr. Kern's memorandum is a very able
document, but considering the present state of the
question we do not publish it, as it is lengthy.
The following is the letter of the capitular vicars
general, which our correspondent from Geneva
alluded to in his letter of the 14th April :
Extract of a letter published at Annecy on the 10th
April, addressed to the clergy of Savov by the Capitular
Vicars General, Chalk:ire', Butte', and tenses:
6 4 • • • It would be of use to all that this Savoyard
vote should appear to be an explosion of immense enthu-
siasm, so as to confute the unjust complaints of a jealous
power, and to show to the whole of Europe the strange de-
lusions of another ambitious state. Although you have
already signed an address to the Emperor, you must make it
your duty, Monsieur le Cure, to go and hand in your vote
on the day fixed, and to induce the other ecclesiastic., and
the electors of the parish to do the same. Do not he afraid
to exert a legitimate influence on the fulfilment of this
solemn act, the supreme importance of which is better
known to you than to many of your parishioners. Be
eager to give hvourable advice to those who may ask for it,
so far as seal and prudence justify it.
"P.S. Those archpriests who hove not yet sent back the
address to the Emperor am earnestly requested to forward
it to us at once, with the signatures of all thapriesta of
the archprieatrick, vicars., carates„ professors, U.'

A contract of marriage between the Prince de
Pulliam, captain of artillery, and lffdlle. Mirh, daughter
of the weU•known banker, was signed two days ago in
Paris.

The marriage of the Duc d'lsly, son of Marshal
Brigsaud,and Mdlle. de St. Paul, was celebrated on Monday
at the church of St. Philippedu•Boule. The witnesses for
the bridegroom were the Duc di Malakoff and Marshal
Caarobert.

According to a letter sent from Turin to the
Massager de Paris, a commission, formed from among the
clergy of that city, had drawn up an address to the Pope,
which, after rewiring the signatures of the clergy of the
kingdom, is to be seat to the Vahan. The document in
question, founded on purely religious motives, places before
the eyes of his Holiness the danger attendant on the pre-
sent policy of Rome, and points out that the sweet means
of warding them off consists in noceptin; the propositions
contained in the letter of King Victor Emmanuel.
