The Constitutinnnel publishes the following letter
from Switzerland, dated the 16th instant:
1 have already told you that the Grand Cannel: of the
Canton of Vaud had approved of the wise measur, s t nby
the federal council relative to refugees. This po:icy has r. it
been followed by the patriotic association of the canton;
that association has lately held two meetings, one at
Tverdun, and the other at Lausanne. In bath of them
resolutions were unanimously adopted to invite vie federal
council to follow a mare independent conduct towar.!.4 the
foreign powers, particularly with regard to the refugees.
These resolutions are not without gravity. The patnotid
association of Vaud is a real power, and is .a
correspondence with all the secret societies both a;
home and abroad ; it ceenstitutes a hidden power,
which is • rival of the regular one. The mem.
bars of the government of Vaud, who have f r the
most part formerly belonged to this association, hare been
present at these meetings, but only as silent listeners, not
one of them daring to say a word in support of the moderate
policy prevailing in the grand ccunrl. The accord which
has hitherto 'listed between these two power is now bee Ion;
the power now belongs to the radicals, and the patriot.;
association of Vaud is now threatened by the if tra
The French refugees in Switzerland are said to he very dis-
satisfied with their chiefs, or, as they call them, their eof.ee-e:
the latter, in order to satisfy them, promise the speedy .

fidence in the promise. The chief, are reproached with
appropriating to themselves the greater part of the n..ney

from the democratic treasury at Lyons. One of th.

TILE ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS.
NAPLES.—Our correspondent writes :
NAPLES, Fr::.
'That which nothing else has been able to eth et the
eruption of Vesuvius has effected, the flight, or rather
the removal, of the Pope. It is °els,, however. to the
palace on ('apo di Monte, where 'he can enj..y !ao-

without trembling at the dreadful roarirg •he

I hear nothing, however, of a more distant ti 4:n.
Cardinal Dupont is still here, and the r,

terribly large batch was seized and sent off to vr:s4n

Rome, has been ordered to quit Naples wi: .n
hours, whereupon an indignant andargry e • rri .Ted:

Saturday night last was such as to disturb the %hole
country for miles round, and here in Naples our n .n-

unceasing night and day. Immense crowds, of coarse,
walk over to the other aide of the bay to get a nicer
view ; religious processions are moving about,
for the intercession of the Madonna and the saints;
and it is said that the Pope is to perform some cent-
menial to cause the mountain to stay its ruinous pro-
ceedings. lam sorry to add that the seeitlonts to
those who wont over have been very sad. Oa
