BASLE, Masten 3.
The city of Lucerne has had the honour or adopting a very
worthy act of toleration lately. This city is chiefly Inhabited by
Catholics, who have the exclusive right of Christian burial, the
Protestants resident there not being allowed to exercise it. Certain
Catholics, conceiving this not to be consistent with the spirit of
Christian toleration, resolved to put an end to it; and the menu_
ben of the Lucerne Government have approved of the resolution.

DUTCH MAIL.
Yesterday we received flaniburgh Papers to the Bth in-
stant, and Dutch Papers tour days later. The indisposi-
tion of the Emperor of Russia is at length noticed in ac-
counts from tat. PetersburAh ; his Majesty is suffering with
an attack of St. Anthony s fire in his foot, in consequence
of which (we presume) the fetes comitquent on the mar-
riage of the Grand Duke Michael are deterred until after
Easter. The following are extracts:—

Faartercurr, MARCH 2.
The Minister of a Feat German Power has made to his col.
leagues, in a confidential meeting, several communications respect
tog the secret associations discovered some time ago, by students
and other young persons who had quitted the Universities at pe-
riods muse or less remote, on the statutes of those usociations, and
the members composing 'them. Ile has again invited them to re-
quest their Governments to co-operate in all ways in the investiga-
uons which are to take place, respecting the persons who are ar-
rested, or placed under surveillance in the States of their respective
Sovereigns. It is said that all the Ministers are already autho-
rised, or are certain of being so shortly, to comply with the desires
of the great Court which has made these overtures. It seems,
however, that it is not intended to proceed against any. persons but
such as have continued to be members of secret associations since
the Decree of the Diet of the 211th September, 1319. The proposals
which seem to have been made to the Diet, relatively to the Press
and inc Universities, are deferred tior the present. The Germanic
Diet has not yet come to any resolution on the several reports of
the Military Committee. It is thought, however, that the importt.
ant subject of the final organisation of the Army of the Conledera.
lion will be concluded in them', se of this month. The numerous

remonstrances of the Sovereign Princes of the Confederation, of the
third and fourth orders, who desire a reduction of their contingents
to the artily, have not been attended to.

Commerce has become extremely brisk in our southern provinces
in consequence of the numeral'. foreign coders for timber, &c.
which promise one of the most advantageous years that we have
had for a long time, and which seems to be caused by the late
changesin the commercial systeni of Great Britain.
