tion." This passage alone is sufficient to prove
the ignorant fanaticism of the Sonderbund troops,
and the infamous manner in which the Jesuits
exploiter that fanaticism to serve their own purposes.
As might have been expected, the Jesuits' lessons
have already borne fruit, two unfortunate natives of
the canton of Berne, named SCREIDEGGER and
ZBINDE, who had long resided in the canton of Fri-
burg, were about to return to Berne, in obedience to
the orders of the Diet, when they were seized at
Rechthalde, in Friburg, by the partisans of the
Jesuits, and were hanged upon two trees, and their
bodies ripped open. Such was the announcement
made at the Prefecture of Berne on the 6th. The
15th Battallion of Infantry of Berne is composed
almost entirely of Catholics. Thirty-two privates
have deserted from it. These are the only desertions
that have taken place from the Bernese contingent.
The arrival of the Schwyz:troops to garrison Zug, on
the part of the Sonderbund, has given rise to blood-
shed. There is a large Liberal minority in Zug,
who resisted the attempt of the Schwyz troops to tear
down the proclamation of the Diet, and a desperate
fight ensued between the troops of Zug and those of
Schwyz, both members of the Sonderbund.
Lucerne has terminated its preparations of defence.
On the 31st ult. and Ist inst., two hattallions of in-
fantry- of Lower Unterwalden and Uri, a battery of
six pieces of heavy artillery, and two companies of
carabineers, entered the city.

Madrid journals of the 2d have arrived.
Ros DE OLANO having resigned his seat in the
Cabinet, the office of Minister of Public Instruction
was offered to PIDAL, but refused by him, notwith-
standing the pressing instances of Queen CHRISTINA•
This refusal on the part of PIDAL seems to portend
the downfal of the present Cabinet, a suspicion which
is confirmed by the fact that MARTINEz DE LA ROSA
has been appointed Ambassador to Rome, in the room
of PACHECO. It is said that there is every proba-
bility of a Puritan Ministry being again installed in
office.

ESPARTERO has refused to accept the English
Embassy, which hal been offered to him by CHRISTINA
and NARVAEZ, evidently as a snare. Such is the
rage of these worthies at the refusal of ESPARTERO
to fall into the trap prepared for him, that, unable to
contain it, they have dispatched an order to him to con-
tinue to reside abroad until further commands. There
is something truly ridiculous in this exhibition of
impotent malice. It is not at all probable that
ESPARTERO would desire to return to Spain while
such persons as NARVAEZ and CHRISTINA were in
power. As every Liberal elector of Madrid has been
struck off the register by order of the Ministry, our
readers will not be suprised to learn that the muni-
cipal elections have turned out in favour of the
Afrancesado party.

Four per Cents. at 15i for cash ; and the Five per
Cents. at 16 for paper.

We have recived the Paris papers of Sunday.
The affairs of Switzerland are the subject of com-
ment in all these papers. To the attacks of the
Journal des Dtbats on M. OCHSENBEIN on account
of his invasion of Lucerne, at the head of the'Corps
Francs, two years ago, and on the whole Liberal
party in Switzerland, as accomplices in the alleged
assassination of the peasant leader LEu, the Consti-
tutionnel gires the following crushing reply :
" Our Government, in sending muskets and artil-
lery to Frihurg, has made itself a corps franc as
regards the Liberal cantons of Switzerland. French
cannon-balls and bullets will carry death among the
ranks of Berne and of Zurich. M. GUIZOT is about
to cause the blood of the Swiss soldiers to be shed.
M. OCUSENBEIN, in his intervention against Lucerne,
at least exposed himself to the danger to which he
exposed others. But (says the Journal des Debats)
M. LEU, of Ebersol, was assassinated by a fanatic
Radical ; therefore, undoubtedly, the Radical party is
a party of assassins. Such am insinuation is simply
an infamous calumny. We can remember when in
France a fanatic named LOUYEL assassinated a Prince
of the Blood Royal—the Duke of BERRY. The
journals of the Jesuits' and of the Ultramontanists
of those days (we will not repeat their names), ex-
claimed that the whole of the Liberal party were
accomplices of LOUTEL ; they even attacked the
Prime Minister of the day, M. DEC A Z ES,
who had been guilty of opposing some
resistance to the re-actionary party; they told him
that his foot had slipped in blood—they insinuated
that this assassination might have had for its object

the opening the way to the throne for a new dynasty.
These hideous accusations, these abominable calum-
nies, are now reproduced against three-fourths of the
Swiss people, against its Government, and the as-
sembly which it has placed at its head."
Arrangements are, it is said, on the point of being
concluded between the authorities of the English and
French Post-offices, and the directors of the London
and Dover, the Boulogne and Amiens, and the Great
Northern Railways, for the dispatch of mails twice
a day between the two capitals. The mails are to
leave Paris for London at twelve o'clock noon and at
seven in the evening. The letters which leave Paris
at seven in the evening will be delivered in London
between eleven and twelve the following morning,
and those which leave Paris at noon will be delivered
in London the following afternoon about four o'clock.
The frigate Uranie, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral
BauAT, of Otaheite notoriety, arrived at Brest on
the 3d. She left Otaheite on the 31st May, at which
date everything was tranquil.

ETON COLLEGE, Nov. B.—The Prince Consort,
attended by the Hon. Captain Gordon, equerry in wait-
ing, rode on horseback to Eton, on Friday morning,
and inspected the fresco paintings which had been dis-
covered on the walls of the College Chapel, upon the
removal of the oak pannelling. A splendidly executed
bust of Lord Howe (of " the glorious Ist of June" cele-
brity), by Behnes, has just been presented to the college
by the present Earl. The examination of candidates for
his Royal Highness Prince Albert's prize of 50/. for the
promotion of the study of modern languages, commenced
this morning, and is not expected to terminate before
Monday next.
THE LATE SIR HENRY MACLEOD, K•ll.—This
distinguished officer, the account of whose demise reached
this country by the last mail from Trinidad, has filled
the office of Governor and Commander-in-Chief of that
colony since 1842. From an early period of his life the
deceased officer was connected with the army. In 1815,
he received the order of St. Wlademir, for his services
at the siege of Dresden. He subsequently served at
Waterloo. In 1832 Fe attained the rank of Colonel.
For some years back Sir Henry was connected with the
colonial service. For a considerable period ho filled the
office of Lieutenant-Governor of St. Christophers. He
was next appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Trinidad.
In 1842 he was promoted to the joint office of Governor
and Commander-in-Chief, which office he he held up
to the day of his death.
The GORLITZ MURDER.—A letter from Darmstadt
announces the arrest of a servant of Count Gorlitz, who
was also in the service of the unfortunate countess, who.
it will be remembered, was found burnt to death, and of
whose murder the count was accused. The servant is
accused of attempting to poison the count. Some soup
served up to the count's table having a curious colour, it
excited suspicion, and on being analysed was found to
contain a strong dose of poison. The father of the ser-
vant has also been arrested.
