LONDON. THURSDAY. JANUARY 13, 1848.

Among the most reprehensible proceedings of the
Radicals of Switzerland, the violation of the famous

hospital of Mount St. Bernard will prove the one by

which they have most materially weakened their
cause and damaged their reputation. It will not
merely intensify and concentrate the animosities Of

the Ultramontanists, it will associate with the
triumph of the principles of Liberality the com-
mission of one of those cardinal crimes which cry
out alike to heaven and to humanity for vengeance.
The recollection of this atrocious act can never he
obliterated. It must for ever and for ever excite the

vernment, accompanied by 30 soldiers with fixed,
bayonets.
" They regard this ;,evasion—
"lst. As a violar,en of an abode tsnd an asylum
open to all travelVers.
"2d. As a scsrious insult to their religious and
civil character.
"3d. As ar, unjust and illegal seizure of an estab-
lishment wl-,0113,
for 850 ye-11.s constantly protected and supported by
devoted to the objects of beneficence
benefacte
tons, b yJrs Of all nations, by most of the Swiss can-
ancient and modern princes, who have all
contributed to maintain the general hospitality of this
hou-Be—of an establishment which Napoleon himself
respected notwithstanding the laws of the Empire.
" They protest in like manner against the inventory
which these commissaries hare taken of the property,
moveable and immoveable, of the Hospice ; they regard
this action as a check upon the exercise of that com-
plete and free hospitality they have always exercised,
and upon the contributions of the charitable. They
regard the violent manner in which this inventory was
taken as an act of persecution which nothing can jus-
tify or excuse. They regard it as a step towards the
inhuman and anti-social suppression of their establish-
ment, and they therefore formally demand that the
troops which occupy it be withdrawn, and that the
monastery be restored to its true destination and to
the exercise of the duties of religion and hospitality.
This protest shall be handed over to the commander of
the picket of occupation, to be by him transmitted to
the proper authorities?'

- (Signed by the Prior and 13 Monks of the
Hospice of St. Bernard.)
Yes, it is recorded by historians of all parties and
of all religious opinions, by the disingenuous pen of
BOURRIENNE and the veracious voice of IRELAND, by
the Protestant HAZLITT and the Freethinking
SA VARY, by the enthusiasm of TRIERS and the im-
partiality of THIBAUDEA Ll—it is narrated by every
one of these writers, whether military or political,
foreign or domestic, that when the republican forces
of the Consulate were traversing the Alps, under the
command of BONAPARTE, the monks of Mount Saint
Bernard were not only preserved from destruction, and
the sanctity of their edifice was not only respected by
the revolutionary armament, but gratuities were be-
stowed upon the institution by the munificent man-
date of the First Consul, and the shrine of benevo-
lence was honoured by the most magnanimous of
conquerors.

How different the course adopted by the Council
of the Helvetic Confederation ! Instead of emulat-
ing this example of generosity, it has covered itself
with the ignominy of an unparalleled turpitude. It
has acted in defiance of all the noblest dictates of
humanity, and has set at nought all the more bene-
ficent injunctions of religion. The description which
has been latterly circulated throughout the European
principalities by one who has recently witnessed the
unwonted desolation of Saint Bernard, the account
furnished by him of the deserted condition of the
monastery, of the disappearance of the monks, and
even the departure of the noble dogs by which they
are invariably accompanied, will prove immeasurably
more injurious to the influence of the Radicals of
Switzerland than any other cruelties, however
unnecessary, or than any other confiscation, however
unjustifiable. For the destruction of an institution
so worthy of the veneration of Christendom cannot
but excite sentiments of indignation in every bosom
capable of emotions of a refined and benignant cha-
racter. People recognize in the inmates of this most
celebrated monastery the representatives of that
charity which is more peculiarly inculcated by
Christianity. They see in men who devote them-
selves so entirely to the cause of benevolence, who
debar themselves from the comforts of civilised life,
who reside amidst perpetual snows, at an elevation of
more than ten thousand feet above the level of the
sea, and who submit to continual and indescribable
privations for the purpose of affording gratuitous
succour to their fellow-creatures, and of rescu-
ing from destruction travellers of every
creed and race—they behold in the monks of the
Hospice of Mount Saint Bernard the champions of
the forsaken, and the lovers of that Divine command-
ment, Love ye one another ! Political intrigues have
never been aided by this brotherhood; proselytism is
apart from their aspirations ; they have fought the
good fight of humanity for 850 winters, and their
efforts ought to have been regarded as a sufficient
reason for their being considered as neutral. The
memory of this infliction can never be effaced by the
'Landsgemeinde of the Valois; all that they can ac-
complish towards reconciling themselves with the
population of Europe is in some manner to make an
adequate reparation to the monlra by rpetoring peace
and security to the monastery.

brcler to prevent or to frustrate landlords in the execu-
tion of their legal rights and remedies. But
we should take a very limited view of this frightful
calamity if we considered these outrages as exclu-
sively confined to interference with the rights and
remedies of landed proprietors. In truth, a spirit of
wickedness once let loose has no bounds, and acknow.
ledges no distinction. The peace and property of all
individuals of all classes are indiscriminately assailed
and plundered." This is indeed the truth. It is
owing to the deranged condition of the relations be-
tween landlord and tenant that miscreants have banded
themselves together in opposition to the law of the
land. Were it not that they are looked upon
to a cell:11in extent as the protectors of
the poorer classes of the peasantry, and that a
degree of sympathy is thereby excited in their
behalf, there would be a general anxiety witnessed
throughout the country for the vindication of the
law and the punishment of its violators. Deprive
them of that prestige, and you inflict a death-blow
on the principle that has hitherto sustained them,
and which has led to the demoralization of large
bodies of the people. For the future, let the many
be taught that the law of the land will be their best
protection, and that its skield is as fully extended
over the poorest and humblest citizen as over the
ealthiest and most exalted. Let their interests
be regarded, and an equitable adjustment of
their claims take place, and do not permit
them to be turned out without remuneration,
or without shelter, at the mere caprice of their land-
lords, so long as they are willing to discharge the
fair obligations of their tenantry. By these means,
and by these alone, you will disband the confedera-
cies that have heretofore been formed. So long as
they are in existence every description of crime and
outrage will be rife throughout the land. There will
always be found persons steeped in guilt, who, de-
nounced for the crimes they have already committed,
and habituated to the shedding of blood, are willing
to undertake any fresh outrage, and become the ready
instruments of vengeance to any who fancy that they
may have cause of complaint. It is the interest of
such persons not to tolerate the existence of tranquil-
lity. It is an uncongenial atmosphere in which they can-
not long exist. A peaceful locality is destructive of their
craft, and if the reign of terror is abridged, the im-
munity they have hitherto found will speedily fail, and
they will be surrendered to the ministers of justice, to
answer for their aggravated offences.
The prompt and vigorous administration of justice
—the admirable manner in which the law officers of
the Crow n have got up the several cases, and the body
of evidence they have brought to bear thereon—the
noble, constitutional, and conscientious manner in
which the Limerick juries have discharged the duty
they owed to their country, and which so justly
merited the eulogium pronounced upon it by the
Lord Chief Justice, will strike terror into the law-
breakers. Let that be followed by enlarged and
comprehensive measures of relief, and the great object
will be attained, and tranquillised Ireland will have
cause to bless the happy results of the Viceroyalty of
the Earl of CLARENDON.

The proceedings under the Special Commission at
Limerick have been suspended for a short time ; they
have not, however, been terminated, as the Learned
Judges have announced their intention to resume
their sittings on their return from Ennis, where the
Commission was to have been opened yesterday. The
results of the trials which have already taken place
may be readily summed up. There have been three
capital convictions, namely, WILLIAM RYAN (Puce),
ANDREW DEA, and JOHN RENEHAN, all of whom were
guilty of murders of the most aggravated description.
In addition, there have been about twenty persons
doomed to various terms of transportation, and
the effect of the example has been greatly in-
creased by the immediate removal of the several
convicts from the dock where they were sentenced
to the vehicles by which they were to be transmitted
to the depots for their reception. This prompt and
speedy execution of the penalty will have the most
beneficial results. Nearly an equal number of per-
sons (18) have been condemned to imprisonment with
hard labour for long periods, varying from nine
months to two years.
We have already alluded to the circumstances of
the frightful crime committed by RYAN. It is said
that this unhappy man, though young in years, has
been deeply stained in guilt—that he has been guilty
of no less than nine murders, and that had
he even been acquitted in Limerick, he would
have pleaded guilty in Clare, so that he
could not, under any circumstances, have
escaped the extreme penalty of the law. It is also
kid, that ever since the just judgment by which his
hours have been numbered, he has expressed his
regret at not having been enabled to evade his pur-
suers for even another week, in order that he might
shed the blood of his employer, who had de-
frauded him of a portion of the promised wages of
his dreadful crime. Those who are to suffer with
him:, are both very young men ; one, ANDREW
DEA, barely nineteen years of age, and the other,
JOHN RENEHAN, but little more. The offence of the
former was owing to the great fountain and origin
of Irish crime—the possession of land. His father had
been ejected from his holding for nonpayment of rent;
another party, named NOONAN, having taken the vacant
premises, he was, in accordance with the provisions
of the agrarian code, deemed worthy of death, and
the sons of the ejected tenant, the unfortunate pri-
soner, and an elder brother, were selected to carry
the sentence into execution. No time was lost, for
in ten days after the intended victim had entered
into the occupancy of the lands an attempt was
made upon his life, at three o'clock in the afternoon
of a bright summer's day; and, although it failed
as far as he was concerned, a person who happened ,
to be in his company met his death from the assas-
sin's ball.

It appears that the number of killed during the
disturbances at Milan on the 3d was very great. The
people fought hand to hand with the troops. The
Podesta Casati has protested against the conduct of
the soldiery, and two of the councillors of the Go-
vernment have resigned their offices. Tranquillity
was restored on the sth, but the streets of Milan are
covered with pieces of paper, on which are written,
" Courage, brothers—a turbulent zeal will be fatal to
us. Take care not to be led away by the provoca-
tions of the police. Let us know how to restrain
ourselves ; it is a proof of strength. For the present,
tranquillity and dignity!"
On the sth of January the inhabitants of Milan
came to a resolution to taboo the lottery, as they hare
already done tobacco. Every person who purchases
a lottery ticket will be treated as an outcast from
society.

The Risorgintento of Turin of the 7th publishes
two documents from Milan, relating to the distur-
bances that took place there ; one from the Viceroy,
dated the sth, recommending the people to await
peaceably the reforms which, he confidently hopes,
will be granted. The other, dated the 4th, is from
the municipal congregation of Milan, and contains
the same exhortations.

Madrid papers of the 6th announce that Queen
CHRISTINA held a grand levee on that day. The
debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the impeach-
ment of SALAMANCA was continued, and Senor Bs-
NAvisEs warmly defended the conduct of his late
colleague the ex-Minister.
The debate was brought to a close for the day by
a very animated scene. In the course of the discus-
sion PIDAL declared that SALAMANCA could not be
considered free from suspicion until he should have
undergone a solemn trial. This called up SALA-
MANCA, who declared the statement to be a calumny,
and added, " I demand a solemn judgment, in order
that I may go the gallows if I merit it, or that Senor
PIDAL may be declared a calumniator !" On this a
scene of indescribable confusion ensued, numbers of
Deputies talking and gesticulating ♦iolently, and
other shouting " Order ! order! Senor SALAMANCA
was proceeding when he suddenly exclaimed, " I
cannot continue, gentlemen !" and fell back on his
seat. (He has for some time back, it should be ob-
served, been labouring under severe indisposition.)
Senor SALAMANCA was borne from the Chamber in
the arms of his friends, all of whom appeared greatly
agitated, and many of whom cried, " It is an in-
famy ! It is a calumny !" The Chamber deter-
mined that the debate should be adjourned till
Friday.

We hare received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Journal des Dibals says the KING has received
from her Majesty Queen VICTORIA a most affec-
tionate letter of condolence on the death of Madame
ADELAIDE. Her Majesty Queen Vicroat.B. has also
written a letter of condolence to her uncle the King
of the BELGIANS.
The discussion on the Address was continued on
Tuesday in the Chamber of Peers. Towards the con-
clusion it became very animated. M. Guizox, in
repudiating the charges of corruption brought against
his Ministry by the Marquis DE BOISSY, who alluded
to the cases of M. WARNERY and M. PETIT, declared
that these corrupt practices had not originated with
his Ministry. They had been tolerated by other
Ministries—they had been tolerated by the present
Ministry at its commencement—but they were
so no longer. This declaration brought up
Count MOLE, who declared that no impu-
tation could be east upon his Ministry on
the score of corruption. M. BARTIIE, M. Rissr,
and Count D'ARGOUT—indeed every Member of any
former Ministry who chanced to be in the Chamber
equally repudiated the charges of M. Guisor. The
fifth paragraph of the :Address was at last adopted.
On the sixth paragraph being proposed, MM.
TASCIIER and C. Durres proposed the following
amendment, which was supported by the Count DE
MONTALEMEMIT

abhorrence of posterity. What, indeed, will the
Helvetic historian have to narrate as among the
more memorable consummations of the late victory ?
lie will have to describe that infamous decree of
the 24 of December, by which the Landsge-
meinde 4f the Valais deprived the monastery
of its ecclesiastical patronage and inflicted upon
its inmates a
fine of 5,0001. or 80,000 Swiss
francs. lie will depict the arrival of the two
Federal Commissaries, AIM. FREY and DELARAGEAZ,
on the 18th of December, to compile an inventory of
the furniture and property, of the establishment, with
a view to its final appropriation for the liquidation of
its debts to the Srpreme Government. He will re-
cord the brutalities perpetrated under the surveillance
of those officials, the bursting Open

bars, and
the openingofclosetsand strongboxes by
the instruments of the locksmith, the quartering of
forty Vaudois soldiers

as a garrison to the
building, and the distribution of sentinels with loaded
muskets at the windows, for the purpose of firing at
whomsoever should endeavour to escape with the con-
secrated vessels, or with any other of the valuables of
that sublime institution. Never were the sympathies of
the whole civilized world so wilfully and flagrantly
• iolated ; never were the interests of society so mon-
strously abused for the sake of a contemptible reta-
liation, as in the infliction of these extreme penalties
upon the heroic brethren of St. Bernard. By the inde-
cent rigour of the Confederation, ruin has been suddenly
brought upon an association which, for nearly nine
centuries, has existed among the alpine solitudes of
the Valais, affording warmth and nouri,4ment to the
travellers from all nations, and shining forth to the
whole of Christendom the Beacon of a divine and
universal charity.
There is something so remarkable, both in an
historical sense, and as the close of an acted roman
in the infamous behaviour of the Valais towards thisce, illustrious order of ecclesiastics, that we willingly
give, in extenso, their emphatic and dignified protest
against the violation of their renowned institution :
" The undersigned, regular canons of the Hospice
of St. Bernard, in chapter assembled, solemnly pro-
test, in the face of Europe, against the occupation of
their monastery by certain commissaries of the Go-

The third murder was, if possible, more incompre-
hensible than either of the others. A trifling dispute
had occurred between the families of a small farmer
named APENtar and of the prisoner, which had been
i‘avestigated at petty sessions. On the following Sabbath
night a numerous party attacked the house of the
former, Which,

some money, they dragged the unfortunate
owner from his lid' 1 ing-place, and brutally murdered
him in his own yard, he having received two gun-
shot wounds, his skull having
been fractured in
two places, and his back broken.
Such are the sickening details
pro that have been
proved on the clearest and most convincing testi-
mony,/ before the judges at Limerick, although there
had been nothing relating to the occupation of land

Chief Justice remarked, in the able and impressive
address to the grand jury, with which he opened
the proceedings of the Commission, "The prin-
cipal objects of the combination and the il-
legal confederacy is the destruction of the rights
of landlords, for violence and intimidation
are resorted to, and even murder itself perpetrated, in '

" Christian nations contemplate with admiration
the courageous initiative of the Holy Father, and the
happy assistance given to him by the most enlightened
Sovereigns, to open to the people of Italy a new era
of civilisation, of wise liberty, and of collective power.
Italian independence, necessary for the equilibrium
of Europe, will rest on the success of that great ex-
periment, which is the subject of all our good wishes
and our hopes."
The Count DE S r. AULAIRE, at the conclusion of the
address of the Count DE MONTALEMBERT, moved
the adjournment of the debate to the following day,
which was agreed to.

The debate was resumed on Wednesday by the
Count ST. AVLAIRE, who warmly defended the policy
of the Government. He was followed by M. GUIZOT,
who protested against the remarks that had been
made about holy alliances and armed intervention.
He regarded those ideas as phantoms, which it was
sought to assemble round the Cabinet, and congratu-
lated himself on living in a constitutional and free
country. In this country, he said, as in every other,
it was necessary to adopt a free policy, and to be at
liberty to select those alliances which were most con-
formable to the interests of the nation. The Go-
vernment of July had conquered that liberty by the
sweat o its
which brows.

the bastard policy which it was sought to fasten on it.
The Hon. Minister was left addressing the Chamber
at post hour.
It is said that the Minister has determined to break
faith with ABD-Ef KADER, and that the Emia has
been officially informed that he cannot be permitted
to go to St. Jean d'Acre, and that his transference
to Egypt must depend upon the willingness of the
PACIIA to receive him. Under these circumstances
we expect every day to hear that both the Duke
D'AumALE and General LAMORICIERE have resigned
their commands and retired to France ; as men of
honour there is no other course open to them.
It is said that the Government has received a very
unfavourable account of the health of the Queen of
SPAIN.

In the bureaux of the Chamber of Deputies, on
Tuesday, the Budget for 1848 was brought under
discussion. The credits for 1848 amount to
17,082,1861. ; 13,289,036 f. of which are for the Three
per Cent. Rentes, which are to be issued in 1848, in
consequence of the last loan. A special credit of
527,240 f. is to be applied to the payment of the six
months' interest due on the Greek loan the Ist Sep-
tember, 1847. This new advance makes the total
sum advanced on the Greek loan up to the present
7,488,567 f.
The Constitutionnel affirms that overtures made to
the Germanic Confederation for an intervention in
Switzerland met so unfavourable a reception, on
account of the excitement that would follow through-
out Germany, that the idea has had to be aban-
doned.

A Parliamentary paper just published gives an ac-
count of last year's proceedings in connexion with emi-
gration, and the following is an extract of a letter,
written in December, by Messrs. Stewarts and Kincaid,
of Dublin, to Lord Palmerston:—
" We hare had the honour of receiving your Lord-
ship's letter of the 7th instant, enclosing copy of report
from M. H. Perley, Esq., emigration officer, St. John's,
to the Honourable S. Saunders, provincial secretary,
relative to the ship jEolus, from Sligo, with 428 pas-
sengers; also extract from a dispatch to Earl Grey from
Sir William Colebrooke. These passengers having bees
tenants and cottiers on your Lordship's estate in the
county of Sligo, and shipped by us at your Lord-
ship's expense, we are very sorry to find that the
authorities in St. John's complain of their poverty and
destitution, and of the late season at which they arrived.
It is our duty to state, for your Lordship's information,
that it was at the special and urgent request of the
parties themselves that these people were allowed to
emigrate, and their passages, &c., paid for
,by your
Lordship.
" Nut only was there no compulsion used ; no steps
taken to deprive them of their holdings on the estate ;
no attempt at enforcing payment of their rents, which
might have been supposed as the principal cause of their
expatriating themselves ; but most of them had
been receiving rations at the public depots
of fool under the Relief Act of last session,
and might have been still tenants on the estate
if they had wished, but their entreaties to be sent to
America were so urgent, that we have seen some of
them on their knees on the roads praying to be sent
out, and it was impossible to resist the earnestness of
their entreaties.
" They were generally very poor, but in no other
sense can we admit them to have been helpless, or infirm,
or destitute. About oee-half, or, perhaps, a larger pro-
portion, consisted of entire families, and some of the
parents or heads of the families may have been at:-
vauced in years ; but in all such cases they were accom-
panied by young and able-bodied members of the family,
who were both able and willing to earn a livelihood for
themselves, and to support the weaker members of their
families."

Accounts from Holland describe the weather as having
been exceedingly severe. The rivers were more firmly
frozen than ever, and the steamer from London expected

Frankfort we are advised of the stoppage of J. Fusel for
about 400,000 florins.
The advices received here from Italy are not satis-
factory, but the German papers, probably under orders,
express the belief that Austria will not take any violent
measures with Italy, and that the Cabinets of Berlin and

Swiss, but also upon general affairs.
