cannons which Radicalism possesses for crushing
and burning down Friburg and Lucerne, those cities
which dare to defend their rights against the corps
francs, transformed into federal battalions. But it
is because France is the old and faithful ally of
Switzerland, that she will only see with horror this
violence of Radicalism, and this monstrous war
directed against the independence of the purest and
most honest part of the Helvetic republic. Radicalism
is only a faction. Even in the cantons in which it
reigns it is a burden to the population. It smothers
the voice of the people ; it dominates over the autho-
rities; and its tyranny will fall a little sooner or a
little later, for Switzerland will not allow itself for
ever to be oppressed by some kings of a club. The
most righteous cause, the cause of true liberty, will
triumph after trials more or less long, and simple
foresight would make it a duty to us not to attach
ourselves to the Radicals. Radicalism will perish,
and Switzerland will become herself. In the mean-
while open your eyes, profit by the lesson, you to
whom is daily vaunted the mildness of the purely
democratic system ! Only one country in Europe is
delivered up to bloody agitation, and furiously pre-
cipitates itself into civil war, and that country is a
republic conducted by Radicals !"
Well may the Consitutionnel declare that in its fury
against Liberalism the Debats has lost sight of
reason.

The Courrier Francais says, that should the Diet
attack the Sonderbund, M. BOIS LE COMTE has been
ordered to present a protest to the Vorort, to quit
Switzerland immediately and return to France.
Similar instructions were forwarded by M. DE MET..
TERNICH to Baron DE KAISERSFELD, Minister of
Austria in Switzerland.

It is said that an expedition to Madagascar is in
preparation, the object of which is to dethrone the
QUEEN, and to place her son on the throne.
The Presse of Saturday has an article on the finan-
cial crisis in England, and contends that it will be
impossible to make any change in the Bill of 1844
without the consent of the Bank directors, inasmuch
as that Bill constitutes a formal contract between the
State and a public company, which places it beyond
the reach of any amendment. The article concludes
as follows :

"It follows clearly, from these explanations, that
the right of revising the Bill of 1844 has been alien-
ated for 10 years, and that the legislative powers
cannot exercise such a right until after that period.
After that interval it resumes its entire force. In
matters of contract, we repeat, the legislative powers
are rigorously limited. It is not allowed to invoke
exceptional circumstances in order to justify the re-
consideration of an Act of Parliament. The engage-
ments must be strictly executed in the terms in which
they are inscribed and accepted by all parties. The
Bill of 1844 is, therefore, not like ordinary Acts of
Parliament, which may be modified from year to
year according as experience may demonstrate the
necessity of such changes. It has a perfectly special
character, which must not lie lost sight of, when the
chances of a revision more or less proximate are dis-
cussed. 'We are convinced, for our own part, that a
revision is not possible, unless the proprietors of the
Bank place themselves in accord with the Govern-
ment, and it is not perhaps so easy to accomplish such
an accord as it is supposed. The English journals,
which exclaim so loudly against the Cabinet at this
moment, appear to us not to take a sufficiently accu-
rate view of the difficulties against which it has had
to contend in that respect."
The same journal says—" There is a generally
accredited rumour that the Bank of France is to take
a considerable interest in the approaching loan. There
is reason to believe that this decision will lead to
another—to solicit the Government to authorise the
Bank to augment its social capital, which, though it
was at first, in 1806, 90 millions, has since been re-
duced to 68 millions. Since 90 millions were deemed
necessary at a period when business was far from
having reached the extent to which it has at present
attained, it is evident that the 68 millions are in-
sufficient."

The Gazette du Languedoc asserts positively that
the denial made by the Monileur of a subscription
having been opened at Nismes for M. TESTE was
false ; and it adds, that the subscription, which it
says was closed some days ago, has amounted to
90,0001.
Isle of Bourbon journals of the lath August have
been received. The Colonial Council had just brought
its session of eight months to a close. The session
had been several times interrupted, owing to the im-
possibility of forming a majority for the nomination
of delegates to the metropolitan Government.
