SWITZERLAND.

BERNE, OCT. 2I.—A Report of the Directory, relative
to the execution of the conclusum of the 23d of August,
was communicated this day to the Diet. This document,
which contains a list of the refugees expelled from the Hel-
vetic territory, is concluded as follows:

The Federal Directory cannot help expressing its con-
viction that a great deal still remains to be done, in order
that the conclusum may be fully and strictly executed in a
manner re-assuring for Switzerland, and agreeable to inter-
national relations. On the other hand, the Directory feels
bound to state that a good deal has already been done to-
wards the execution of the conclusum, but that .the appli-
cation of the measures recommended by that decree has met
with many obstacles in certain States of the Confederation,
whose institutions and administrative forms are opposed to
the establishment of a general r)liee, on the plan of that
instituted i❑ other States, governed by different political
laws, for the protection of citizens. The Directory, con-
s.-.‘quently, entreat! DX the st4tgi to brio° such measures
as are compatible with their respective cantonal constitu-
tions, and in complience with the principles set down in
the federal compact, in order that Switzerland may soon be
restored to that state of tranquillity which can only result
from the complete and general execution of the conclusum
of the Diet." _

After a short discussion, which offered no interesting in-
cident, the Diet unanimously resolved on appointing a com-
mittee \of five members to examine what remains to be done
to insure the full execution of the conclusum. The Conser-
vative party obtained a majority in the choice of the Com-
missioners, who are—Messrs. Hess, deputy of Zurich ;
Burckhardt, deputy of Basle ; Tillier, of Berne ; Cham-
brier, of Neufchatel ; and Mayenbourg, deputy of Shaff-
hausen.

The Diet is not to meet until the 25th or 26th inst., to
give time to the committees to prepare their reports.
The coercive measures enforced by the French authori-
ties along the frontiers have ceased altogether, since yester.
day, at Delle, and on the line of the Bernese Jura, Swiss
citizens are now permitted to enter France by that road,
with a permission signed by the Mayor of Delle.
The Safety Society of the Canton of Berne, established
by the patricians, has held a meeting, and voted an address
to the Grand Council. That document requires- .ht, that
the demands of France be rejected, and that a friendly ad-
justment be obtained by means compatible with national
honour-2d, that the conclusurn be rigorously executed,
inasmuch at least as regards the Canton of Berne-3d,
that none of the refugees of whom neighbouring States may
have had to complain be appointed to situations salaried by
the Republic-4th, that no Swiss, or stranger to the Can-
ton, and d fortiori no foreigner, shall be admitted to enjoy
political rights, unless he have resided ten years at least in
the country ; nevertheless, that period may be reduced by
one-half if he have married a Bernese, or possess landed
property in the Canton-sth, that all foreigners heretofore
naturalized, without offering good guarantees, be excluded
from all public situations.

That petition is signed by M. de Muralt, President ; and
M. Gatschet, the Secretary.—Arouvelliste Vaudois.

ALGIERS.

The French expedition against Constantine is to consist
of 6,600 French troops, and at least 4,000 auxiliaries, ex-
clusive of Arabs, belonging to the tribes of the Beylick.
According to the information obtained by Marshal -Clausel.
the Bey has between 4,000 and 5,000 irregular cavalry,
8,000 irregular infantry, 300 Turkish cannoneers, and a
body-guard consisting of 4 companies of picked soldiers.
He has, besides, from 1,200 to 1,500 mountaineers from
Nemenchah, armed with muskets. We do not include the
Arabs of the district, becauso most of them have refused
to join the Bey. The Moors in the towns likewise declined
to co-operate, so that Hadji Hemet is obliged to extend his
line of defence far in advance of Constantine.—Courtier
Francais.

The departure of the Duke de Nemours has removed
all the doubts created by the hesitations of our Ministers
respecting the immediate departure of the expedition
against Constantine. In the first days of November, 1,200
troops, under the orders of Marshal Clause], will quit the
Camp of Draan, three leagues distant from Bona, and, after
a rapid march of a few days, will arrive under the walls of
Constantine, which, in all probability, will offer but a feeble
resistance.—National.
