SWITZERLAND, Itlmtcki Z.

THE report that the`Canton or Town. of Sa.,aff.
„haulm will be separated from the Helvetic Repub..
lie, is without foundation. ifiepiy-q
The number of French troops marching.through
Switzerland since the Peace with Germany, increases
every day. The first Column of the Polish Lepton
is, on its march for Italy, by Zurich apd Geneva.
Preparations aro milking at Bern. for the Head-.
quarters of the Aimy of Reserve ; zo,ooo-men from
this' army •-are exported out of Italy, who will
march by the way of Bourdeaux 'against Portugal.
general MACDONALD will go to Paris,
According to some accounts; the Division of,
Richepanse, of to,ooo men, will likewise pass
through'SWitzerland on its way to Toulon. ' •
The Merchants of the Canton .of Leman have,:
sent a Deputation to the Helvetic Government, to
make .represetitations against the Union of the
Country of the Vallois with France', as it will en-
tirely ruin the trade of that Canton andihe Canton
of Friburg. •
It is said, that France will be divided into Five.
Great Military Division:, those of the East, West,.
North, and. South ; and the DiviSion of the Center..

The following hint, if adopted, may prove useful,
and, we presume? the experiment maybe easily:
made in many situations. A Gentleman in the
neighbourhood of Cockermouth, planted last year a
qtiarter of an acre of ground with Carrots, without
dunging. The produce was upwards of 600 stone..'
Some of these carrots weighed 3-1-11). each, and Inca.
sured twelVe inches in circumference. 'This may' be
-admitted as a curiosity but the exprinient had been.
-Made for another purpose ; and it answered beyond
expedation. Work homes were fed with the car-
rots through winter, _and were in the most thriVing
condition, and tit for tlieir:matalmork the. ensuing
. season, at about one-fourt4i thp,cbme or am- •
customed feeding. •

t-itoi,f the time of the Tall of RODEStli'ltkE,
TAL L 'sty became a stiil more prominent chat-atter.
His- conduct towards that Tyl-,.nt 'aid not, how-

been guilty of those crimes of which he accused
others. On the zid of 0t10b...r, .and- on the 14. th

.greatest acrimony, as Ifi4ng been guilty of Ter.:
rorism, _and as, the; i.gicittfiof 13anditti.--Nor was
this the only accusation under which he laboured,.
for while one Party-accused hint of Terforism, the
other asserted thatliew4s a Royalist. His fidlu.~dle

drooping popttrdrity, by a pistol 'shot, fired at him
by a inall %i,ho had secreted himself for that putpose.
Certain it is, that the pretended -ruffian escaped,
and that TALLI EN received no injury.

Amid all the variety of opinions which were en.

Ministers, Deputies, ' and Joitinaftsts, as the dis-
