SWITZERLAND,

FEDERAL DIET.-CONCLUSION OF THE DE-
BATE OF THE 911 i, RESPECTING THE AFFAIR
OF CONSEIL. _ _ .

M. Kern (Deputy for Thurgovia) expressed his entire
adhesion to the majority of te Committee, whose only
wish was to let the truth be known. _

M. Monnard (Vaud) characterised the system of politi-
cal police as a system of corruption, a disgrace and pest to
civilization. The circumstances of which the Committee
had obtained knowledge, sufficiently proved that that sys-
tem which maintained a regular body of instigators to crime
had had the effect of compromising the neutrality of Swit-
zerland, and endangering her relations with foreign Powers.
Why had it been thought necessary to send spies into
the territqry of the Confederation ? Was there a coun-
try in the world where there was less mystery and more
open speaking ? As no plots were in existence, the agents
of police found 'it necessary to creatd them, and having
made a few dupes, advantage was taken of that circum-
stance to accuse the Swiss nation. Conseil endeavoured
to persuade some students of the University of Berne to
belong to the " Societe des Families." • Supposing•that
he had succeeded with some, would that be a sufficient
reason for making a charge against the University ? It
was by the means of the police agents that the neutrality
of Switzerland had been compromised, and those by whom
they were employed were- more to be blamed than the
subordinate agents themselves. He (M. Monnard) con-
sidered it to, be the duty of the Diet to publish all the facts
which had come to the knowledge of the Committee, in
order that all Europe might be made acquainted with the
manner in which Switzerland had been treated and calum-
niated. It ought to be known, that in order to incriminate
Switzerland, it'was first necessary to abuse her hospitality,
by maintaining spies within her territory. The present
question was important with reference to the relations of
Switzerland with France. As soon as Conseil was known
to be not an accomplice of Fieschi, but a spy of the French
police, it was the duty of the French Ambassador to declare
that he was mistaken with regard to the character of that
person. With regard to the head of the French Govern-
ment, the King of the French has some reason for looking
on Switzerland with affection ; and he had

HOLLAND.
It is no longer a secret that the to be concluded conven-
tion concerning the Java irAport duty contest was the sub-
ject of the two extrabrary Cabinet Councils, presided
at by,the King, now nearly a fortnigl.t ago, and to the se-
cond of which the Prince of Orange was so suddenly called
from his avocations in the camp. It appears, however, that
the fresh instructions transmitted to Sir E. Disbrowe a few

days before by Major Cartwright were not of a nature to
smoothe the debate between the two Governments. My
correspondent tells me that much dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed at the 6,000,000 indemnity pretended to have been
offered by the Dutch Government, but that for the rest
the general calculation of the money-people seems to be
founded upon the notion that considerations of a higher
order will withhold the British Cabinet from again pro-
ceeding to coercive measures for an object of only secon-
dary political interest for the present, however haughty
may have been the tone of Sir E. Disbrowe's recent note in
the opinion that you may see expressed in the Hague cor-
respondence of the above mentioned papers.
All the troops encamped near Reyen broke up for their
respective garrisons on Saturday. The two young Princes
of Orange proceeded to Soestdyk, and to-day the Prince
Field-Marshal himself left Tilburg for the same destination,
to spend a few days with his Imperial Consort and family
previous to the return of all the Royal house, which is fixed
fbr about the 24th of this month. Prince Frederick Henry
will not sail for the East Indies before October.

It had been expected that the Kin.- would review the
encamped division of infantry on Thursday, besides the ca-
valry not already inspected, together with the other division,
and actually orders had been issued that all these troops
were to meet for this purpose at a small distance from the
camp on that day. But on Wednesday evening this was
countermanded, in consequence, of an estafette having
brought notice that his Majesty was prevented.
