The whole LittOrale, or maritime tract ceded
BUONAPARTE by the late treaty, running round
the head of the Adriatic, may be oppressed and . ,
'frotiatcdi bik.__papnnt he protected, by their new
Corsican Master. Even since the peace of vicuna,
our squadron's have captured most of the islands
which command the entrance of the Gutpli of Ve-
nice ; and our very boats'. crews spread terror along
.the whole coast of Istria. But we now begin to
''perceive, that his not to the Tyrol, or to Carniola,
that the spirit of abhorrence and of resistance to the
atrocious ruffian, who arrogates and pollutes the
Imperial' honours of CHARLEMAGNE, is confined.—
The flame hos spread, it is evident, through the
Alps, and is diffused through all (lie . mountainous
`Cantons of Switzerland. The German papers can
no longer disguise or -conceal it. " The canton of
tucern," says an article from Frankfort, of the 2-oth
of November, " has 'recalled all its citizens, em-
ployed in the service of the Spanish insurgents, in
Opposition to their oaths, and.in breach of their duty
is citizens." We know that the governrrient..and
inhabitants of the Canton of Lucern, have, at all
times, been distinguished by an ardent and zealous
attachment to the Catholic faith and religiOn. •.And
We now find, that, in defiance of the tyrant, they
had discovered the means of sending effeaual aid to
their oppressed brethren beyond' the Pyrennesi. The
disclosure is equally interesting and important. 800-
NAPARTE may oppress, but he will not extinguish,
this spark of ethereal fire. Nor is it limited to Lta;•,
cern. Schaffhausen, another of the Swiss Cantons,
is impregnated With the same gas. He has been
compelled, we see, no doubt, as Mediator of the
Simiss League, to march a division of French troops
into the town of Schaffhausen ; and ' another
corps from that place". is spoken of, " which will
enter the lesser Cantons." We cannot doubt, after
these reluctant avowals, that, throughout Uri,
Schwitz, Zug, Underwalden, and all the mountain-
ous Cantons, which communicate and combine with
the Voralbetg and ,the Tyrol, a very warm spirit of
insnrreaion pervades the country. Contemptible
as it may appear, we can neither calculate on its
Profundity, extent, or effe&s, proximate, as well
as remote. From the heart of Switzerland, quite to
....Croatia and Dalmatia, throughout the fastnesses of
those Alpine regions, the spirit of liberty, however
oppressed, seems to be struggling for a vent. .
'Letters have. been received, dated the 2d, 4th,
and 7tli of September, from Buenos Ayres. It.was
thought that the pecuniaiy, necessities of the Go-
vernment, at this capital of the Spanish Colonies,
would induce the Viceroy to admit the unloading
of foreign vessels at that port, where the cargoes
are liable to a duty of one third of their value.—
The account of the commotions in the province of
Quito is by the same opportunity confirmed.

One day last week, Mr. Tate, of Newcastle, cabi-
Aet-maker, was surprised in his,warehousc, which is
lip two flights of narrow high-winding stairs, by a
'Visit from a dragoon horse, which had contrived to
*larch up this height without displacing any c: the
Pieces of timber with which his passage was incum-
Moded. The poor animal, when he found himself
Criung t'he looking-glasses and.chairs, trembled el-
cpsively ; but lie was got down without injury to
himself or his host.
