on the coast taking in pepper."

31-IVERAVIS.. FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,

March 29, 1822;

[THE TIMES.]
The discoveries made respecting the state of
our Ambassador-people have shocked all thinking
men beyond expression. We shall, before we
conclude, present a more detailed account of such
facts as:offer themselves but we cannot help
first adverting to the Switzerland job—a job
which does not certainly plunder the public to
the greatest possible extent, but which yet ex-
ceeds, in the profligate principle which it evinces,
any thing that was ever heard of in modern times.
W ynn is the name of the man that is to be sent
out to Switzerland, and he is somehow or other
connected with the Buckingham family, who
have lately gone over to Ministers. This man is
to receive ire one way or other, as diplomatic
agent in Switzerland, upwards of four thousand
a year; the sum paid to our resident there before
the war, being 2501. We do not conceive that
any fo-rce of language, that any new-invented ex-
pression•of abomination or term of reproach, can
affect the mind more strongly with the infamy of
such, a transaction than the simple narration of
the fact_ If Switzerland continues at peace with
us—what then ? Our couriers can pass to Italy
without obstruction, if they like, from Yverdun
to Duomo d'Ossola, instead of crossing by Mount
Cenis or the Fyrol. This is all the good she
does us. If she were to declare war against us—
what then? It would signify as much to Eng-
land as a tempest in the lake of Geneva, or an
insurrection among a shoal of anchovies in the
Mediterranean. Four thousand a year, while our
farmers are starving, for an Ambassador—to what
or to whom, we ask—to a King ? To a Duke ?
To a Tetrarch ? No : to a herd of poor senators,
who can only feel themselves insulted by the
presence of so superior a person. Oh, much-
injured Right Honourable George Canning !
Deeply-wronged, fourteen-thousand-pounds-Am-
. bassador to the Bar of the Tagus! But it is said,
" Let us look at the map of Europe! Let us
" observe the geographical position of Switzer-
" land. Why, it is actually between Italy and
" Germany ! Therefore it is the key of those
4('' countries !" The key of Germany and Italy !
-What! are not Germany and Italy each acces-
sible to us without going through Switzerland ?
This, in the first place, is a geographical posi-
tion of Germany of which we were never before
aware, that it cannot be approached from Eng-
land but by Switzerland : or, can the success of
any negotiation at the Court of Austria depend
upon our having an Envoy to the Swiss 'noun-
tains.(for with the people we can have, compa-
ratively, no relations whatever), at the annual
expense of four thousand pounds—the usual
salary being 2501. ? And as to Italy, which
is also as accessible as daylight, without go-
ing through Switzerland—why have we any
Envoys or Ambassaders there at all, but to
insult the wretched dependent princes, and
waste British gold ? Italy and Sicily are Ger-
man altogether : they are occupied by German
troops from Girghento to Venice. Lord Burg-
hersh lives at home ; and he acts rightly if he
does but give up the salary attached to his ex-
tinct and useless situation of Envoy to the
Grand Duke of Tuscany. Mr. Hamilton is an
able man at Naples ; but is the King of that
country in a capacity to decide upon any one
measure, as an independent Sovereign ? No, not
even-to say what companies of Austrian or Hun-
garian troops shall do duty at the theatre of St.
Carlos, while he and his enlightened son attend the
performances. there during the present happy and
ease inviting state of their country. But, in
plain English, we say Naples is extinct, and can
have no business whatever to transact with us,
that might not, and must not, be settled at Vi-
enna,through the medium, ou our part, of that
grave sage prudent personage Lord Vane Stew-
art ;-with• 'whose presence, therefore, the Em-
peror.of Austria and his Ministers cannot dis-
pense far one moment. The toils, indeed, which
this man sustains, having the affairs of all Italy as
well as those of A stria. upon him, are incredi-
ble; and Europe rings with his diplomatic feats.
