GERMANY.
The following anecdote of the late Grand Duke of
Baden is worth transcribing : A. few
nights ago,
whilst suffering dreadfully fro:n the complaint
which, according to all appearances, would prove
fatal, he said to his medical attelidant—" Tell me,
dear Strickel, did you ever meet v7it;-1 any one who
suffered so much as Ido ?" -y-es," replied the
doctor, " I have lately attended a man who is
afflicted with precisely the same complaint, and he
has only straw to lie upon." Only straw," ejacu-
lated the benevolent prince, ringing the bell over his
couch, and telling the servant who entered to send
one of the best beds of the palace, and all other new
cessaries, to the poor man whose address would be
given by Dr. Strickel.

SWITZERLAND.
On the 25th, the Executive Council of the Swiss
Confederation published a proclamation, in which,
after thanking the citizens for the confidence re-
posed in it, as shown by the result of the vote on
the 18tb, it says that it will continue to govern
according to the existing constitution and
lams, and do everything in its power to promote the
interests of the country.
The Censtitutionnel publishes the following letter
from Berne of the 21st inst.

" The victory gained by the Government is a very
striking one. The majority of the electors who sanc-
tioned its wisely progressive and liberal policy reached
the number of 6,752, a majority which was far beyond
w hat was ever hoped for after all the means of corruption
used by the Socialists to lead the people astray; but the
people have shown that they have tc to much morality to
be thus deceived. The Government. has acquired fresh
strength in passing through this pop ular trial, and now
that it is in a position to display a little more
energy, we may expect that it will promptly bring the
Socialist agitators to reason, should they take a fancy,
which is, however, very problematical, to organize
s fresh agitation in the canton , which now en-
joys more perfect . tranquillity ti tan we have been
ae oustomed to for a long time past. The Conservatives
at e preparing to turn the fruits of ti teir fine and legiti-
mate victory to account, and a meeting of delegates from
all the communes of the canton will take place on Satur-
da y next, to take into consideration the present state of
the country. The principal points which will be discussed
at this meeting are-1. The suppress lion of the Univer-
sil y, which will resume the rank and less pompous title
of Academy. 2. lie-organization of the colleges of the
Jura (French part), which are in a df 3plorable condition.
3. Partial revision of the Constitution by the Grand
Council, and the re-establishment, ur der all cases, of the
ril;ht of revocation, taken from the Government in 1846.
4, A law destined to protect the authorities from insult,
while in the exercise of their functions. 5. A new law on
the press, &c. The meeting will teirminate by a grand
procession by torch-light in the stree is of Berne. This
mg tnifestation of general joy will be on a very grand scale."
