SWITZERLAND.

The following note of the Diet, dated Berne the
6th inst., has been transmitted to the French Minis-
ter for oreign Affairs :
" Excellency,—The Swiss Diet has received the
note which the Count de Bois le Comte, Ambassador
of the King of the French to the Swiss Confedera-
tion, has addressed to the President of this Assembly,
under date of Bale, the 30th of November, and in
which the Ambassador communicates to the Diet on
the part of the King's Government, the offer of his
mediation conjointly with that of the Governments of
Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia, with the
object, says your Excellency, of re-establishing
peace and concord between the cantons which com-
pose the Swiss Confederation. Although the Diet is
very grateful for the solicitude which the high Powers
deign to express for Switzerland, it cannot accept
the offer that is made to it, because the facts supposed
by the Government of the king and his allies do not
exist, or have ceased to exist, and especially because
the principle itself of the proposed mediation is not in
harmony either with the position recognised for the
Swiss nation in Europe by treaties, or with the
constitution of the Confederation. In fact, the object
of the mediation is to put an end to the civil war
in Switzerland, and effect a reconciliation between
the Diet and the Sonderbund. This mediation sup-
poses the existence of the separate League, and the
existence of two belligerent parties. But we have the
satisfaction of announcing to your Excellency that
hostilities have been completely at an end for several
days, and thus there is no civil war and there are no
belligerent parties in Switzerland ; that the seven
cantons which formed the Sonderbund have expressly
withdrawn from it; that their troops are disbanded
and disarmed ; that a considerable portion of the
federal army has been dismissed, and that the troops
which are still on foot have been received as friends
in the seven states, which they occupy essentially
with the view of maintaining order and preserving
persona and property from the vengeance of the par-
tisans of the Sonderbund, irritated against those who
have led them to their ruin by fanaticising and grossly
deceiving them.
" It is not, properly speaking, a civil war that
Switzerland has had to deplore. There has been no
war between the cantons ; but the competent federal
authority has been compelled to have recourse to
arms to cause to be respected its decrees for the dis-
solution of an unconstitutional league, prejudicial to
the Confederation and incompatible with its exist-
ence ; and to force a rebel faction to return to its
duty--to re-establish order and tranquillity, and
maintain the internal security of Switzerland, accord-
ing to the duty imposed by the Federal pact. Thanks
to the firmness of the Diet, the Governments of the
cantons, which 'were faithful to the pact, the support
of the people, the courage and enthusiasm of the
federal troops, and the skill and humanity of their
chief, order and legality hare been re-established.
There has been comparatively little bloodshed, and of
the seven members of the league which have made
their submission, six of them have done so by capitu-
lation, and fire of them without its being necessary to
undertake any combat in their territory. The recep-
tion given to the troops of the Diet in the seven can-
tons which have not been treated as conquered coun-
tries, or tha countries of enemies, the joy expressed
by the population of these states on finding themselves
delivered from the Sonderbund, the abdication of most
of the Governments, and the flight of two of them,
sufficiently prove that the separate league was a
factitious work at the service of the Jesuits, but re-
jected by the best part of the population.

"If the Diet were to enter into a discussion on the
bases of a mediation which it cannot accept, it would
be easy for us to show that, by reason of the events
which have just taken place, the mediation is really
without an object. But we will lay these questions
aside, for, being within the internal domain of Swit-
zerland, they cannot form a ground for a mediation,
or any other mode of intervention by the Powers.
We will even, without admitting it, suppose for a
moment that the Sonderbund exists, and that hostili-
ties continue. In this supposition international
right and federal right do not permit the Diet to ac-
cept the offer that is made to it. The mediation of
one or more neutral powers would suppose the exist-
ence of a difference between Switzerland and some
other powers—an international quarrel. If this were
the case, nothing would be more natural than an offer
of mediation or arbitration, although this offer could
not oblige the parties to accept the proposition ; but
Switzerland is not in such a position. The supreme
authority of the Confederation has felt it necessary to
have recourse to the force of arms to obtain
obedience to its decrees, to put an end to dis-
order, and to put down revolt. The Sonderbund
being a prohibited league by an express dispo-
sition of the Fedral pact, and an alliance destructive
of the Confederation itself, cannot be considered as
the adverse party of the cantons forming the majority
of the Diet; it cannot be opposed to the Confedera-
tion. The Council of War of the Sonderbund can-
not be assimilated to the Federal Assembly, or the
representatives of the League to the representatives of
the Diet, and still less those of the five Powers.
The President of the Council of War of the Sonder-
bund is not, or rather was not, equal to the President
of the Diet. If so, there would be two confedera-
tions in Switzerland, two or more separate alli-
ances, that is to say, there would be no longer any
Confederation. Now, by placing the Sonderbund
and its dependencies on the same footing as the Con-
federation and its constituted authorities, by calling a
representative of the Sonderbund to the proposed
conference, by assimilating this representative to that
of the Diet, and even those of the Powers, the me-
diation lays down a principle which Switzerland
cannot admit without committing self-destruction,
viz., that there are two rival confederations, and
that the Sonderbund has a place amongst thp
states of Europe. If this were to be the case,
the Diet would protest with all its force against
such an attack upon the integrity of Swit-
zerland, against so flagrant a violation of its rights
and entreaties. No, the Sonderbund was not and
could not be anything but a factious minority in the
Swiss Confederation. The cantons are not, as re-
gards each other, independent and foreign powers,
like France and Great Britain, for example, but the
members of one body, united by the same federal
bond. This body, this confederation, has interests
which are common to all the cantons. Thus, Swit-
zerland has a general constitution—the federal com-
pact, which is above all cantonal constitutions. As
the Federal sovereignty is above that of the cantons
it has a general assembly, the Diet, in which the de •
cisions are come to by a majority and not by
unanimity as in the congresses of sovereigns ; it has
a Federal directory, exercising essentially the ex-
ecutive power, a capital, the Vorort, an army, a flag,
a seal, property revenues, public treasuries, adminis-
trations, functionaries, codes, laws, regulations,
tribunals,—in a word all that constitutes a Govern-
ment. The Diet declares war and concludes peace;
it alone makes alliances with foreign powers, and
alone enters into commercial treaties ; it is
not the cantons which are represented at European
courts, but the Confederation ; it is also to
the Confederation and not to the cantons
that ambassadors, ministers, and charges d'affaires
are accredited in Switzerland. The populations of
the twenty-two cantons, notwithstanding their di-
versity of opinions, morals, local institutions, and
religion, form one and the same body—the Swiss
nation. Never during the centuries that the Con-
federation has existed has the sovereignty been abso-
lute and unlimited; it has never been otherwise than
relative and subordinate to that of the ensemble of
the Confederation. The whole history of Switzer-
land, ancient and modern, as well as her successive
constitutions, establish clearly that the members of
the Confederation have always formed a Helvetic
body by the Federal bond which unites them, al-
though according to ancient alliances anterior to 1798,
the cantons had fewer objects placed in common than
by the treaty of 1815, which much more centralized
the Federal union. That bond, at one time drawn
more tightly, and at others loosened, has always
obliged the minority of the cantons to submit to the
majority of the states or votes in the general Diet of
Switzerland; and when the majority and minority are
in disaccord on the question of knowing whether the
object was or not within the competency of the Diet,
it was again the majority which decided the question,
since it was of course necessary that some one must
at last decide ; and because if, in order to escape from
a decision of the Diet, it was sufficient for a majority
to contest the competence of the assembly on any
question, the central authority would be paralysed,
and the Confederation rendered an impossibility. To
admit the principle of the offered mediation, that is to
say, to treat on equal terms with the Sonderbund,
would be to compromise the integrity of Switzerland,
which only recognises a confederation, a diet, a federal
directory, a federal council of war, and which declares
in Art. 8, that in all the affairs in which the compact
does not require a different majority, it is the absolute
majority which decides. This would be to break the
bond which unites the canton in one federative body,
and would dissolve the Swiss nation, which has
known how to win at the price of its blood that in-
dependence which has been acknowledged by Europe
for ages, as well as by the treaties of Vienna, in which
France contracted towards the Swiss Confederation
engagements to which the King's Government is
pleased to remain faithful. In a word, it would be to
divide Switzerland into two confederations, which
would end in its ruin, and make a disturbance in the
balance of power in Europe, the consequences of
which it is difficult to calculate. llis Excellency will
comprehend with what painful surprise the Diet has
seen that in the note of M. de Bois le Comte the
President of the Council of War of the Sonderbund
is placed on the same line as the _Presidentont ofo the
Federal assembly, the chief of the C fe den a
rebel placed by a Government i. le n
Iva leveliinisra e
rwithif thehis
legitimate authority. Surely, M.
Majesty's Ambassador had not given a positive assur-

ante that his Majesty's Government is inspired with
the most sincere sentiments of friendship for the Swiss
nation, the position which the Government has offi-
cially given to the ex-President of the ci-devallt
council of a dissolved league, would be of a nature
to give rise to the most strange suppositions,
such, for instance, as the intention to cause the
Sonderbund to revive and to support it. There
would not be found in the greater number of the
confederated states a single magistrate who would
consent to sit on a conference with a man who has
been forced to fly from the just anger of the citizens
of the cantons, dragged by him into the late fatal
league. The national feeling would be profoundly
afflicted at a supposition to the contrary. The Diet
has no doubt that when the Government of the King
and his high allies shall have become acquainted with
the state of things in Switzerland, and weighed the'
preceding considerations, they will comprehend the
motives which prevent the Federal Assembly from
accepting a mediation, the principle of which implies
a recognition of the Sonderbund with all its disas-
trous consequences, for they might lead to anarchy.
This would be much against the will of the five
Powers, but such a result would not be the less fatal.
A mediation or any other kind of intervention is the
less founded, as the events which have just taken
place in Switzerland have in no degree compromised
the security of the neighbouring states. Their tero,
ritories have not been invaded nor even menaced ;
their institutions and their tranquillity have been in
no danger. The reason of this is that Switzer-
land, anxious to fulfil her international obligations,
has also, happily, the power of doing so. The
measures which she has taken for the prompt re-esta-
blishment of order and tranquillity in the country,
for the maintenance of internal and external security,
for the preservation of neutrality—measures which
articles 1,2, 6, and 8 of the Federal pact have placed
within the competency of the Diet—the military
forces which the Confederation has displayed, the
courage and discipline of its militia, the sentiments of
goodwill with which the people of Switzerland are
animated for other nations, and the prudence and
energy of which the authorities have given proofs,
are the best guarantee against dangers which can only
have been supposed to exist from erroneous or incom-
plete information, too frequently derived from inter-
ested or impassioned sources. We take this opportu-
nity of requesting your Excellency to accept the
assurance of our high consideration.'
The Provisional Government of Lucerne has issued
the following decree concerning the Jesuits, 04:
the other religious orders connected with till'.
body :
" The Provisional Government of Lucerne, wish-
ing to prove to the High Diet that it is eager to ow
ply with its demands, made with a view to the &Iv
able re-establishment of peace, and so far as these-
demands are not of a nature to cause new complic
tions in religion and politics—considering the dean('
of the High Diet of the 4th September, 1847 ; con-
sidering also the pacification of the canton of Ltl"
cerne, decrees as follows :—The Jesuits and the
affiliated with them, particularly the Ursuci
line, and the Sisters of Providence at Lucerne an
Sursee, are for ever banished from the canton.--:
Those who are absent shall never be permitted agar,
to cross the frontier, and those who are still within the
territory shall quit it between this time and the iota
at the latest. The ancient funds of the Franciscans
shall be again administered as they were before the
recal of the Jesuits. An understanding shall be
come to with the episcopal Commissioners for re
ligious service in the church of the Franciscans. 'l_7
future Government take the necessary measures fq
the reconstitution and direction of the theologic.aL
institute and the seminary. This decree shall bei
published in the official journal of the canton,
posted up at the usual places, communicated to
in°
° and all the authorities to whom it belong s;
and deposited in the archives.—Lucerne, this 2d
December, 1847." in'
The following appears to be a summary of the
telligence from Switzerland :
" The interest of the moment is now less at Berne
c
than at Friburg. We find in the Swiss journals
text of the decree of 29th November, declaring ..be
_
members of the late Government responsible for the
war and its consequences."

natioaal rewards. No. 21, Rue Montorgeuil, Paris.
Numberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto had been
considered as incurable by the Faculty, and which In a short time
have given way under this treatment, are most unequivocal proofs of
Its superiority over every other means as yet employed. It was for
a long period et time a desideratum to discover a mode of cure
adapted to all constitutions, and which should be free from the bane-
1W effects of mercury. We are now arrived at the solution of this
problem by the discovery of a mode of treatment at once simple and
easy, and which, without any degree of exaggeration, we can affirm
to be infallible in the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate
er of long standing. The method of curs, according to Dr. Albert, is
economical and easy, either at home or en a journey, causing not tile
slightest derangement to the general health, and safe in all seasons
and in all climates.

THE PRIZE CATTLE SHOW'
The Cb-lstmas Cattle Show, in Portman-square,
Draws many thousands with its prizes rare;
:for need we wonder much, for such a sight
Is calculated to afford delight.
'Tie most amusing to behold a prize,
Rolling in fatness—twice its usual size.
The greedy pigs, reclining half asleep,
With here and there a group of waddling sheep.
(nd the huge lazy oxen calmly snoozing,
Ake objects which are certainly amusing.
But there's an exhibition, you must know,
MoreUeasing than the Christmas Cattle Show ;
MOSEA,and SON'S display of prize attire,
Is sotnething which the public a'l admire.
The alio* et MOSES' Mart does not appear
At Christmas time alone, but all the year.
Their celebrated Show-rooms never lack
Prize Coats and Waigeoitts to adorn the back,
Prize Over CoatiretiVrroedirs, too, are there,
More prized than:any prize in Pot anan-square.

An early application for a prize.
Let all who prize their health adopt the plan,
Of well preparing for the outward man ;
And those who prize appearance we apprize,
Of what our Prize Establishment supplies.
MOSES and SON'S prize garments all admire,
And own them to be prizeable attire;
The least dissatisfaction there is not,
But all who purchase dress, no matter what,
Exclaim, delighted, " What alprize I've get I"
