Committee, stated that he would leave the Report to speak
for itself, not thinking it worth while to say more in answer
to the attack of the Hon. Member for Oldham, than that
the Committee had allowed him all but a boundless latitude
in bringing forward his evidence, but that it was so unne-
cessary and irrelevant, that they were obliged to reject a
great part of it.

In another part of The Sun will be found extracts from
American Papers received to the 20th ult. inclusive, by the
packet ship 0/Theirs, which arrived yesterday at Liverpool.
They are, commercially speaking, of considerable importance.

The French Government has at last proceeded to
mand the expulsion of Prince Louts NAPOLEON BONA-
PARTE from the Swiss territory. We had previously been
informed that such a step was contemplated, and that it
v,ould be actually taken, in the event of the Swiss authori-
ties refusing to expel the PRINCE of their own accord ;
but we confess that we regarded the intelligence as un-
founded. We thought it likely enough that such a threat
might be hazarded by the Duke de MONTEBELLO, but we
refused to give credit to the report of its embodying the
deliberate determination of the King of the FaENcit. 'We
remembered that in the little cantons of Switzerland Louts
PHILIPPE and his sister, the Princess ADELAIDE, found a
safe asylum from the revolutionary guillotine, and the re-
membrance rendered a belief in the King of the F.RENcll's
determination to violate the sanctuary of the once fugitive
members of the House of Orleans impossible. Besides
on the part of the French Government, such a proceed-
ing seemed to us to be constituting an individual an object
of terror, whose pretensions events had shown to be ridicu-
lous. It now, however, appears that we had mistaken the
character of the KING, and given the French Cabinet cre-
dit for a degree of political sagacity which it is very clear
it does not possess. What will be the immediate re-
sult of the following diplomatic note, a few days at the
utmost will determine; but its ulterior consequences may
yet seriously affect the interest of the Orleans dynasty.
The Duke de NIONTEBELLO, in his note, invokes the
law of nations ; we, too, shall examine its provisions upon
the subject, when the decision of the Council of Lucerne
shall have reached us :
Lt'cuuNtt, Ave. 3.—The President of the Diet communicated to-day
to that Assembly the subjoined note, which he had received from the
Ambassador of France :
"To their Excellencies the Avoyer and Members of the Council of
State of the Canton of Lucerne, constituting the Federal Directory.
"The undersigned, Ambassador of his Majesty the King of the French
to the Helvetic Confederation, has been instructed by his Government to
address the following communication to their Excellencies the Avoyer
and Members of the Council of State of the Canton of Lucerne, con-
stituting the Federal Directory.
"After the events of Strasburg, and the generous act of clemency of
which Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was the object, the King of the French
could not expect that a friendly country like Switzerland, with which
the former relations of good neighbourhood were recently so happily
posed upon him by gratitude,
imposed re-
stored,
would suffer Louis Bonaparte to return to its territory, and
there,dareto

,
and openly avow insane preten-
sions, the folly of which could no longer be pleaded in their justifica-
tion since the attempt of Strasburg. It is a notorious fact that Are.
nenberg (the residence of Louis Bonaparte) is the centre of ma-
chination, which the King's Government has a right, and is
in duty bound, to prohibit, so near its frontier. It is vain for
Louis Bonaparte to deny it. The writings which he has caused
to be published both in Germany and France, the pamphlet lately con-
demned by the Court of Peers, in writing and distributing which it has
been proved that he concurred, clearly indicate that his return from
America had not only for its object to pay the last duties to a dying mo-
ther, but also to resume his projects and put forward pretensions which
it is now evident he never renounced. Switzerland is too loyal and
too faithful an ally of France to permit that Louis Bonaparte call him-
self at the same time one of its citizens, and the Pretender to the
Throne of France; that lie styles himself a Frenchman, whenever he
conceives the hope of disturbing the peace of his country for the sake of
his projects; and a citizen of Thurgau, when the Government of his
country wishes to prevent the repetition of his criminal attempts.
" It is consequently with the most entire confidence that the under-
signed addresses, in the name of his Government, to their Excellencies
the Avoyer and Members of the Council of State of the Canton of
Lucerne, constituting the Federal Directory (with a request to lay it
before the supreme Diet), a formal demand that Louis Napoleon Bona-
parte be compelled to leave the Helvetic territory.
" The undersigned deems it superfluous to remind their Excellencies
of the law of nations regulating such matters. He will merely observe,
in concluding, and in compliance with the orders he has received, that
France would have preferred being indebted to the spontaneous resolu-
tion, and to a feeling of amity on the part of her faithful ally, for a
measure she owes it to herself to require, and which Switzerland, she is
sure, will not hesitate to adopt.
" The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to renew to their
Excellencies the Avoyer and Members of the Council of State of the
canton of Lucerne, constituting the Federal Directory, the assurances of
his high consideration

The Duke de MONTEBELLO.

•' Lucerne, Aug. 1, 1638."
The President fixed the discussion of this note by the Diet for Mon-
day, the 6th inst. -

The Paris Papers of Monday, announce the prosecution
and conviction of no fewer than four Liberal Provincial
Journals during the last week, for copying the article for
which the Temps was prosecuted, relative to the proceed-
ings at a secret sitting of the Chamber of Peers. The real
crime of these Journals is not the publication of the article
in the Temps, but their zeal in support of principles, which
the KING would openly exterminate, did he not dread that
the embers of another revolution are still slumbering in the
ashes of Republican France.
The French naval force in the Gulf of Mexico, accord-
ing to the Moniteur, consists of two frigates of 60 guns,
four brigs of 20, one of 18, and four of 10. A. man-of-war, of
82 guns, preparing to sail from Toulon, will complete an
armament, supposed to be adequate to the maintaining a
strict blockade in the Guif.
Letters from Constantinople, of the 16th ult., throw
discredit upon the statement that there no longer existed
any danger of hostilities between the SULTAN and the
Viceroy of EGYPT, On the contrary, the aspect of affairs
in that quarter is represented as unusually gloomy.
The following are extracts from the journals :-
The Duke de Palrnella, Ambassador Extraordinary of Portugal to the
Court of London, and the Duchess of Palmella arrived at Paris yesterday,
for the celebration of the marriage of their daughter with a rich Portu-
guese gentleman, after which they will set out for Lisbon.

Count Lowenhielm,:the Swedish Ambassador at the Court of France,
has suddenly returned from London, where he has been to attend the
Coronation of the (Neer. lie had yesterday an audience of the King,
Who, after inquiry respecting the health of the King of Sweden, is said
to have conversed with him a long time about the expedition of French
rod forrign learned racia to the North Cape, with the geography of
which be is penctially well acquainted. The King is said to have de-
sired him to thank the King of Sweden for the manner in whirls he re_
ce.,d the Fre, eh gentlemen who have devoted themselves to those
noble and fatiguing labours in count' ies so little known.
It seems the Cross of Honour will be given to several illustrious
Swedes who make part of the scientific expedition, and that the French
will receive Orders of Knighthood of Sweden and Norway -.Le

The Garde National of Marseilles contains accounts of the 17th ult.
from Alexandria, representing the state of affairs there as peaceable and
tranquil, though it is added that the Viceroy has not altogether aban-
doned his ambitious designs. The ships of war which had sailed for the
isle of Candia had returned, by Mehemet Ali's orders, to join the rest of
the fleet, the last vessel of which quitted the port of Alexandria on the
morning of the 17th. The entire squadron, oonsisting of nine ships of
the line of 100 or 120 guns, five frigates, five corvettes, six brigs, and a
large steamer, in all 25 sail, was to proceed to the coasts of Syria, its
g first w ne
ultimate destination being Tripoli. The fleet was abundantly provided

from Syria was extremely contradictory, some considering the revolt of
the mountaineers as terminated, whilst others still represent it in a se-
rious light. According to accounts of the 12th from Cairo, that city
was tranquil, though some fresh incendiary attempts had been made
there, particularly one directed against the Custom House, but haPpilY
without any serious result. A number of the suspected incendiaries
had been taken into custody.
The Austian frigate In Guerriere arrived at Toulon on the 2d inst.,
with the Archduke Frederick, who was received with the honours due
to his rank.
A large cotton and woollen cloth factory at Elbeauf was burnt to the
ground on the 4th instant. The loss was estimated at a million francs.
