have hitherto ha 3 in a great weight en Ow itterreal
policy of Switzerland? May we not suppose that tbry
begin to be tired of that perpetual agitation which
paralyses commerce and industry without any other re-
sult than the triumph of intrigues and ambitions which
are struggling one against the other? However this maybe,
be, we pe that the piesent Government, which is cone-
posed of sensible and enlightened-men; will profit by its -
electoral BUCCOSS to consolidate its liberal and conserva-
tive system, founded on respect for property, and on _
the general welfare of the canton. Never could it have
a finer opportunity; it may attain its- object wittrout
its being necessary to resort to violence or to arbitrary
acts." _ .

The strike of the journeymen coachruakers has ter-
minated. The paternal advice which the Governn'ent
authorities had addressed to these workmen having ye-
mained without effect, orders were given to arrest about
80 of them, and afterwards 30 others were taken
into custody. This proof of firmness sufficed to
check the spirit which bad manifested itself, and the
usual works were resumed. As to the rumours
which have prevailed of workmen belonging to other
trades having struck, they are, says the .Pairie, quite
devoid of foundation.
The Corsaire remarks as follows on the division in
the Legislative Body on the Coinage Bill :
" Paris is at present quite insupportable; nothirg is
talked of hut the unfortunate Bill on the re-coinage of
our sous. It has been adopted by a majority of 210 to
5. These five rebellious votes are the subject of
general conversation; the haLitue:s of the Bourse ipie.
themselves, with well grounded uneasiness, whether
we are about to return to our deplorable taste for
opposition. What, in fact, signifies such a veto? We
cannot see the object of it. Two hundred and ten legis.
laturs support a Bill, the want of which,is generally felt,
and hero are five who exclaim—Elianisi umnc4 eyo non.
Every ono seeks for information on the subject; they wish
to know who are the flee, and there is no eff.at left
untried in order to raise the veil which conceals this
mystery. Tho minutes of the sitting are so laconic that
they only enlarge the field of conjectures. Every one
deeply regrets that the discussions, so full of interest, of
the Letis4lative Body aro not made known, and the ardent
curiosity of the Parisian public shows the value it sets
on the cheap aliment of which it is deprived."
The Bourse was heavy, without any considerable fall
in prices. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened
at 100 f. 90c., and closed at 100 f. 75c. for the end of
the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 71f. 50c.;
