Our correspondent at Lausanne his forwarded
us ill estimate of looses occasioned by the breaking
op of the ice in the lake of Bigots; the amount
is 1,109159 francs of Switzerlend, not iucluding
the expenses which will be incurred by the re-open-
ing a road of several leagues in the valley, and the
works required on the blinks of the riser Prince.

tent of right leagues, with a body of water eight
fret deep, which carried with it large pieces of
timber, the ruins of edifice., and trees which lied
been torn up by the root'.
In comparing the situation in which France was
two years and • half ago, it is impossible not to be
struck with the at progress she has made to-
wards prosperity and tranquillity—so great is this
progren, that it is perfectly correct to say, that few
persons would have believed at that epoch that
France would, in so short a time, have obtained •
similar result. The profound peace that reigns in
every part—the abundance that revives at the mere
appearance of a good harvest—the increase in the
funds from fifty to seventy-seven, though in three
years there has been an emission of nearly one
hundred millions of annuities—the consideration

we enjoy without—the certainty of the evacua-
tion of the foreign imolai, which is the conse-
quence of the wise march of the Chambers—the
berry enjoyed in France—every thing inspires a just
confidence in the Government. which, assuming the
reins in IRIS. had to combat both the foreign occu•
'nation and the effervescence of parties—the exag-
geration of a powerful Chamber. that of a flume.
row► end rich dasa—the enmity of another clam, who
could not believe in the existence of freedom wider
the Bourbons.-the attack of men deprived of for-

tune bg the new regime—the disquietude produced
among the possessors of national domains—the
unstinted pride of is numerous army, which conceived
it•ell to be abandoned auil humbled—two years of
fretful scarcity—the enormous charge of the taxes,
rendered necessary by the payment of foreign sub-
sidiesa.the Government which has surmounted
such obstacles almost without troops, without
any other party than that of wise men. strong in
number but weak in action. with an exhausted trea-
sury and an enormous debt, without Violent
means and without shock. cannot but inspire
Europe with confidence.
After having announced the arrest of General
Cannel, the ✓oartsaldet Moires adds the following
rt 11 vet ions :

All attempts et revolution are now impracti-
cable against those two great supports, Legitimacy
sod the Charter ; the Throne is not insulated in the
midst of that nation, of which it •is the shield.
Around the Throne rally its first defender, and its

natural suppo4t, that 'genii's 00 Princes whieil
imprescriptibie rights are daily consecrated in the
maniple of their fidelity, and their love fee their
father and their King. They have not only bean
additional Frenchmen to us, to use the truly
French expression of the sagest brother of the
King, they are additional securities for our liberties,
which they have sworn to defend ; they are the sup-
ports and continuer* of the work raised by royal
wisdom.
" The Throne exhibits to the notion all the sup-
ports which its dearest interests, its honour, and
its liberty, can require. The nation► surrounds
it, and would know how to defend it with all the
energy which it has displayed for twenty-five years
in acquiring those beuelits which it owes only to the
wisdom of the King, and which that wisdom will
for ever strengthen and consolidate. This strength
of the Throne consists is' the legit imocy of its post er ;
it is that which leaves no room fur crime, by leav-
ing no chance of its success or impunity ; it is that
which imparts to our Princes the wishes and mitten-
tious of royal wisdom, and caused to be heard, a
few months sine*, in our deportment', all the po-
licy of the Monarch, and all the future of Festive.
under the reign of the Bourbons, is. these words,
onion wed ohlivium. pronounced by a young Prince,
who her evil' augmented ►he popularity of the
Throne by manifesting the wishes of the King repro-
duced and perpetuated by his aligui.t family."

this country.

The day before yesterday one of the best-esta-
blished merchants in our capital put an eud to his
existence, by shooting himself with a pistol. at
Prater. This act of despair is attributed to peen-
Mary embarrassments. By an unhappy and fatal
destiny, his widow had the misfortoue to see the
man hanged whom she expected to become her
husband ; her first husband hanged hiluself ; and
her second has just blown out his brains.

ENTERTAINMENT AT CIIATNWORTH.

The Grand Duke Michael found Matlock so de-
delightful a scene that his Highness was unwilling
to quit it ; he therefore disputehed a cornier to the
magnificent chateau, postponing his intention of
visitiog it on Friday. On Saturday, at two o'clock
p.m. his Imperial Highness arrived at the Park en-
trance, where he woos met by the steward, park-
keepers, gamekeepers, and grooms, all mounted on
rely fine horses ; and the Grand Duke observing
one which took his fancy he requested the man to
alight, and allow him to take his place. The Duke
and Suite rode tip to the North front, and ascended
the fl ght of steps which led into the great quadran-
gle, and thence into the painted hall. His I lighoess
greatly extolled the painted ceiling represeoting the
Heathen mythology: the walls pourtrayed the death
of Julius Caesar, matured by Vim° in his usual
spirited style. The party, after inspecting the
finest suit of rooms in Great Britain. proceeded to
inspect the water-woks, 1. e. the (contains and
cascades; one of the former throws up water to the
height of luo fret. By this time the dinner aas
ready in the grand' banqueitiog.toom, wherein
covers were laid for a dozen. Herein WHY a scene
of matchless grandeur. At six o'clock, ut the
upper-end, the sideboards were covered with gold
and gilt plate ; at the lower end the display was
massive silver, vety antique, and very hasidsonie.
The table exhibited a profusion of delicacies,
lighted up by solid candid:duos of gold. The fol-
lowing personages MI (1110'11:
The Grand Dake, Baron Nieutny, General Parker Vetch,
Gruel-al Kiodeusky, Dr. Michast-Offsky. Physician ;
Hamel, Surgeon; and Sir William Congress.. The Rev.
Rickard Smith was the representative of the Noble Ho.t.

The dinner consisted of three courses ; the wines
were incomparably excellent, pinticulaily the
champagne, burgundy, and hock ; the fruits, the
produce of his Grace's hot and succession houses.
About half-past seven the Grand Duke rose (it is
not the etiquette for Russisn Noblemen to sit long
at table), and proceeded to the West front of the
mansion, where the Duke of Devonshire's landau,
with a set of horses, waited. The. party proceeded
therein to view the park and grounds; they returned
at nine o'clock. At this period the Grand Duke
desired to see the tree which his brother Nicholas
planted, about a year and a half since. After view-
ing it for sonic time with great attention, and ad-
miring its flourishing state. his Highness expressed
a wish to leave a similar memorial behind him. A
blinder production was quickly brought forth, and
placed in the ground by the Duke's own hands, on
the lawn, to the left ; the one plst.ted by Nickolas bt -
ins( on the right. His Highne►s tilled in the earth, as
the gardener expressed himself, in a workman-like
manner, and then apparently much delighted took
his leave of that hospitable mansion, mild proceeded
onward to Castletun ; they left Chatsworth at ten
o'clock, intending the next morning to view the
frigsatful cavern so well known. From Castletial
the Grand Duke g.bea to Sheffield ; thence to the
North, and to Scotland.

On Tuesday se'noight a grand dinner WRS given
by JOHN GEORGE !Amino's. Erg. M.P. at Lamb..
ton Hall, to the Mayor and Corporation of the City
of Durham.

The present mourning is of a dunition which
makes its' just tribute to the deceased ; ruttier fa-
vourable than injurious to the interest of trade. It
would be politics!, before soy domtstic occasion
shall arise, to settle the etiquette of mourning, so
as to observe a due attention to the cornlorts of
society. In France, their 'Mott periods of mourn-
ing tare divoltd into two parts. T!, first order is
all black ; the second all while : elet, a days of the
one, ten days of the other, is the etiqu.,te of the
French Court ; and by the second periuu ')eing in
white, the Ladies are allowed to wear and
linens, as well as silk or satin. Thus their manu-
factures are promoted.

We are requested to state, that the Third or con—
cluding Volume, in quarto, of The ,Wernoirs nf she
Life and Writings of Reojansh. Frt nMin, i. non ready for
delivery, and the Parehasers of the (011111.1' Vollllllel are ad-
vised to order their respective Booksellers to complete their
sets as soon as possible.

We highly approve of the plan BISH adopts, of
Riving the names of the ',laves where the Capitals

the places, he terser mentions the unities of the fortunate
purchasers.
