We read in the Moniteur de l'Arnve :—"A journal
has announced that a commission had been formed by
order of the executive power, for a new examination
of the cases of the insurgents who have been ordered
for transportation. Commissions have in fact been
just instituted, under the title of Conseils
de Clemente, not to revise the decisions
come to by the military commissions, but to
examine if there are grounds for an applica-
tion for grace in favour of a certain number among
them. There is no question of new decisions which
would require new interrogatories for the accused,
and new hearing of witnesses. The inquiry submittt;1
to the Conseils de Clentence will have solely for result
to submit to the chief of the Executive Power propo-
sitions for remitting the penalty of transportation."
The Spanish Ambassador, the puke de Soto•
mayor, had an audience on Saturday of the Chief of
the Executive Government, and presented his letters
of credence.

The Alonileur contains the following :—" A note,
dated the 4th ult., has been addressed by the Danish
Minister of Foreign Affairs to the legations accredited at
Copenhagen, to notify to them the cessation of the block-
ade to which the ports of the north of Germany had
been subjected. This measure was put into execution
from the new convention of armistice concluded on
the 26th August last between Prussia and Denmark,
and ratified on the 1st ult. The blockade was to
cease immediately after the exchange of the ratifica-
tions of that convention, and orders were in conse-
quence sent on the same day to the respective com-
manders of the Danish ships of war."

SWITZERLAND.
A Berne journal of the 28th ult. has the follow
ing:—

" The Minister of Austria has just sent a reply to
the last note of the Vorort, relative to the measure
taken by Marshal Radetzky against Tessino. It is
tolerably favourable to the demands of the Directory.
The following is the document in question :—
" Zurich, Sept. 22.
" The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Majesty
to the Helvetian Confederation, has just received the
note of the Vorort. He immediately hastened to
comply with the request expressed in that communi-
cation. The 20 or 30 first passports for Tessino which
were sent to the undersigned received the visa of the
Legation ; but, when, soon after, some hundreds
arrived for him to wiser, he judged it proper, in order
to regulate with certainty the communications be-
tween Tessino and the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom,
to come to an understanding with Marshal Radetzky,
and for that purpose dispatched to hint a courier,
whose return he expects in a few days. The un-
dersigned has also called the attention of Marshal
Radetzky to certain arrangements to be taken, in
order that the other cantons should not have to suffer
from the measures taken against that of Tessino. He
has likewise informed the Marshal of the report of
the Committee of the Diet relative to the affair of
Tessino—a report, which assures henceforward the
intervention and control of the sovereign authority of
the Confederation, in which the Marshal, as well as
the Government of his Imperial Majesty, places full and
entire confidence. The measures decided on by the
federal authority will, without doubt, fully tranquillize
the Marshal. It was with regret, and solely to fulfil
the rigorous duties which are imposed on him, that
his Excellency (the Marshal) decided to adopt the
measures in question, and he will, doubtless, cause
them to be discontinued as soon as he shall have
recognized in the provisions of the Diet the guarantee
of the execution of its decisions relative to the
maintenance of neutrality in Switzerland.
