be the work at pure invention; the high probability
was, that it was in all sabetantial partially' true.
The only enserpected result has bees, that it

recent reformatory legislation which touch on the

ability of some of the men then employed as in-

Connell of thrllnsehad to-the Federk Aasembly,
'distal the ital. 01 di :door 1 the 7tit4estard, ally
dressed by Lord COWS, to the Swiss Raider at
Paris stating that, tls lingbali cabinet. (Maks it
ought Si abide by its decimation of Nov. 26. It is
thereia'statad that if the "'child government, fully
appreciating all the abeam:teams, should decide
on releasing the primer, without a bal,
the government of her Britannic Majesty would
then, in ocanznes with the French government, tab
step with a view to induce the King of Prussia
to settle the Neufchatel question agreeably to the
wishes of Switzerland, by recogniang the uidepen.:
donee of Neufchatel. On the other hand, the go.
vernment of her Majesty owed it to itself as well as
to the Federal government to declare that it could
not guarantee the susses of thole steps, and that it
had at present no suillekst grounds for regarding
their swam es smeared. Lord Cowley, writing on
the ith, adds that the Queen's government " will es,
per:boos a lively satiahetion in effecting, together
with the government of the Emperor, a solution of
the question of Neufchatel, which shall respond to
the desires of the Swiss nation. Nevertheless,
the government of the... Queen finds itself compelled
to accompany its promise with the same reserves as
herstedire."

An article in RIMS Contensporause, reproduced by
the Monitetsr, yesterday, has attracted much' com-
ment in Paris by the ingenuity with which it treks
to give a fair aide to its policy, both in the Swiss
and in the Prussian view. " says this odic*
" the cabinet of Paris does not bind itself
to obtain the arrangement which is hosed upon
the renunciation by King Frederick William
of his rights as Prince of Neufchatel, which
would establish irrevocably the independence
of the canton, the engagement to make every effort
in this view is one of the highest importance. If,
by reason of nafoneen difficulties in the course of
the negotiation., the Ultimate hopes arising from the
spirit of conciliation with which the King of Prussia
shows himself to be animated, should not be realised,
owing to obstacles which diplomacy may not be able
to overcome, France no doubt would be officially m-
imed from its engagement with Switzerland. Bat
the moral obligation would subsist. Prussia, after
refining to treat upon the basis indicated, would
not be entitled to reckon upon the good
will of Fano, t and the Emperor's go-
vernment, the maim arising, would have to
consider whether it would not be fitting to declare
itself no longer bound by the protocol of London.
The advantage for Switzerland is therefore certain
even in the most unfavourable eventuality. But it
i• to be preowned that Prussia will not commit the
fault of raising difficulties which, by paralysing ne-
gotiations, might have such diametral. csfusequenees
for her."

Uneasiness is felt in Berne lest the Federal govern-
ment may not have been too obsequious to Fnutee in
giving up the question of the prisoners without sal-
eient guarantee*.

The final vote of the Federal Assembly of
Switzerland has just been taken upon the proposi-
tions of the Federal Council for the settlement of
the dispute with Prussia.
The Council of States, which, together with the
National Council, constitutes the Federal Assembly
of Switzerland, having separately discussed the pro-
positions, in a long and animated debate, has just
resolved upon their adoption. There were 82
members voting in the majority ; the minority was
composed of Messrs. Fairy, Vogl, and Pignat.
