. .
ARAN, AUG.2.—A note from the Vrene
Count 'Palle} rand, dated he 28th of July,
expresses the wish that the Diet would not per-
mit snie important and notorious persons to.:re-
aide in Switzerland, who, having- participated in
' the la:e rthellion in France, have fled from that
country, at d seemed disposed to settle in Swazer-
land ; the Counteis (Duchess) -of' St. Leu, and a
BendonymouS Prince de Beaujemy, arc specified
under this last head. The Diet, in communicat-
ing this note to the mates, invites them to attend
to the .request, and in general,' for the sake of the
interest of the whole country, not to permit the
fugitiv'esnaMed, or others of the same description,
1.:3 reside in Switzerland.

LETTER FROM THE MINISTERS OP AUSTRIA, FRANCE,
ENGLAND, AND RUSSIA, TO THE COUNCIL AND
COMMUNES OF THE CANTON OF LOWER UNDER..

WALD.

" It is not without extreme surrrrize,,that the undersigned
Ministers have learned that the Conn'cil of Lower Under-
wald has resolved to inquire by a Deputation of the Allied
Monarchs themselves, whether it tsthtir express will to re-
cognize r nly those Cantons which have acceded to the Act Of
Confederation, and whether this Act shall really be the basis
of the general Constitution of the Swiss Confederation.
" This doubt, now first rising as from a long sleep, is the
highest, but at the same time the most disgraceful proof of
obstinacy, in respect to every thing which the oldest allies of
Lower Underwald, what the whole Diet, and the here under-
signed Ministers themselves have so frequently, so positively,
so urgently declared to its Government. They refer in par-
ticular to their two Notes of the sth of April, 'which have
probably been unconstitutionally withheld front the know-
ledge of the Communes. In the second of these Notes they
say expressly, ' They, the Allied Sovereigns, know hut one
Switzerland ; only Swiss of the same Confederation, the same
Union, the same obligations. They will' always keep at a
distance from them every thing that might prolong- for a
moment a separation unhappily existing, or be attended with
any violation o 1 the Union.' '

44, After.this, lit Lower Underwald calculate the reception.
which its dignities will meet with from. their. Majesties, if
they should presinne so far. This reception. will, be, that
their Majesties will, in case of need, offer their powerful sup-
port to all which the Diet of the Confederation, resolved on
the 18th and I9th instant, and made kriown'to the Couucil' of
Lower Underwald, by its letter of the latter date. , •

CoLooNtt, Juty 29.—The following is atiex-
tract from an interesting letter written by a Citi-
ten of Cologne now at Paris in an. of capa.

city :
" PARIS, JULY 211.—We hope soon to be enabled, by the
erimillu..ications we have received from you and others, to
ins fiirtherinqniries, and- to recover the property carried
Off from Germany. This business is carried on without in-
terruption, and I. onlywish that all the other powers would
do as we do, and take what is their own. The second con-
4/oy is ready to depart, and .will set off to-morrow or next day.
There is among the things nothing, of ours. Yesterday I
found in the Jardir, de., Plantes, or rather in the C-',„binet of
:Natural Ili:L.tory adjoining, St. Vogl. of Sinrigf under the
inane of Moatie Nal urelle Prove:tante de Sinzig: Pep. de la
Roer. Though it is not a work of Art, I shall reclaim it to
to muse the good people of Sinzig. I hear that the crown,
sword, and sceptre of Charlemagne are- in the Church, of
Notre Dame. These will be sought after..

" The destruction of the monuments, to the disgrace of
Germany, has not been completed. Though the bridge of
Jena w,s already undermined. I think we ought to oblige
flue best French artists to carve upon the triumphal arch in
the Place Caronsel some of our honest Landwehrtntn, and
upon the Piiiar in the Place VendOme a Cossack in complete
eostlme, for both of which th'y hare the best models here.—
Li they even pulled it all down again as soon as ofe were gone,
history Nvuuld record that it had been. so, and that would be

enough. • •
" The behaviour of the King: of Prussia is extremely firm
and tleciti%e. He does not pay the least attention either to
the lamentations or the flattery of the French, but refers
them to the Commissioners when they apply to him about the
titking awal of the works of+urt, or about the coati ibutioas.
If the other German Sovereigns would proceed in the sante
nrlnner, the titieves'dens, which shine only with 'foreign trea-
sures, would soon be empty.

"I most heartily re;oice that, by virtue of my full powers,
I was able to take down the St. Peter, by Roberts, belong'ing •
to Cologne, riot secretly and by stratagem, but by open force
in the face of day, with the attendance of a .company of the.
Vith regiment. About 50 of the National Guard wanted to
Ofioose the removal of this and many other paintings from
Berlin, Pastlam, and Darttzig. I declared I would employ
force. This made ad impression. They tan probably frdm
son, popular tumult, and sent to the French-Minister; soon
an order came :from the Kim; of France to sutler every thing
to Pa's which the Prussian Commissioners sh9uld as
Prus,lan property. From this time we hare 'kot out of the
Nuseoni. -Without any difficulty, what.wopleased, and -shall

A'StE, 3U1.1' 29.—We are ccidtinaing, to tc-,
move best effects,from the houses, for the
fear of aiiaber bombardment is by no Means dis-
pelled. Tte 'Bntrountling villages, xt-hicif cannot
•be reached by the cannon of. Huningueti, are filled
with the effects of 'the citizens of 1.1.41 e, and serve
as places of refuge. ,
-
It is said, that a part of SO pieces of heavy ar-
tillery is arrived at Lorrach, and that 1000 men
will follow, all of which are to be employed
against nuninguen ; but these reports are in Want
of confirmation..
Travellers still represent ate minds of the tieri--
ple in the neighbouring provinces of France as
very much irritated, and the prevailing spirit as
dangerous to the Allies. -They pretend that in
many parts bloody scenes may be apprehended :
their hatred of the Royalists in particular, to
whom they attribute all the misery that is come
upon France, is stated 4o be boundless, and not-
likely to be ever wholly extinguished.
Tour 30.—We passed last night in great fear,
it having been reported yesterday evening that the
negotiations with Huningen were broken off, and-
that the Governor had declared he would again
fire when night came on. It is affirmed, that he
was answered, that the whole loss which-the
in-
habitants of this city might thereby sustain should
be. made good by France to the uttermost farthing,
and that he and his whole garrison should he call-
ed to a severe account for this conduct. Mean-
time every thing portable continues to he cemov-
ed from the city: Yesterday and to-day a con-
tinued cannonade has Been kept up from 'Junin-
guen against . Bourgiter and Nendortt ,and also
against Little Ilutlingnen, where the Swiss troops
are hastily throwing up some redoubts.
'the answer of the Governor of linninguen was
received to-day at font o'clock,, the Austrian Ge-
nera) Baron Von Steigenstesch who went yester-
day. to Huninguen having acquainted General
Barbenegre with the earre of Napoleon, which
greatly affected hint. He, however, demands
300,000 francs, as an indemnity for the mill built
upou a. boat, which the SwiSs fired upon as the
French were_ attempting to drmir. it nearer tollu-
ninguen,-by which .firing seven French soblieri
and a stujeant-inajor were killed while 'unfasten-
ing the chains, and the mill drifted down the river-
and- was wrecked.

31.—Last night there. was a .beavy cannonade
from .11iminguen upon Cult. redoubts. The sum
required by General Beihenegre has been refus-
ed, acid so we-expected to-day, a new bombard-
ment, on which account great alarm prevailed,
and a great many effects have been moved- into
the- churches. •

Accounts of the jst Att,zust inform its, that no-
thing further has been undertaken against Basle.

DRESDEN, JULY 23.—The first division of the
Russi;inArmy of Ileserv.e. under Count Wittgen-
stein, is now pasing the Elbe at Neisson to pro-
ceed to its destination.

Three new Regiments of Lond►vchr are orga=
rising in this kingdom ; notwithstanding- the par-
tition of Saxony our corps now in the field con-
sists of 16,000 men, and active measures arc
adopted to increase it. Te Drum has been per-
formed here for the successes of the Allies and the
return of Louis XVIII. to Paris.

FRAVE.FORT, AUG. s.—We learn fromStras-
burg that General ltapp hoisted the white flag on
the Ist, and that the troops wear the white
cockade.
