It was resolvtd in the Twelfth Stand ng Com•
mittie of the National Ass; mbly, on Monday, that
the papers found in the Palace of the Tuileries should
be separated into two clacses, that all family docu-
ments shall be respected, and that all writings of a
political character shall be published.

SWITZERLAND.
The Augsburg Gazette has letters from Berne,
stating that, according to the information hitherto
received, the acceptance of the new Federal Consti-
tution by 12 cantons may be assumed as certain—
viz., by Zurich, St. Gall, Schaffhausen, Glaris, the
Grisons, Thurgau, Anargau, Lucerne, Berne, So-
leure, Basle, and Geneva. Valais is still doubtful.
Zug has rejected it. It is expected that Schwyz.,
Uri, and Unterwalden will also reject it. TraLlt
and Tessino will accept it. The result in Neuf-
chatel is doubtful. The Grand Council of Frei-
burg has resolved not to submit the Federal
Constitution to the people, but had itself
declared in favour of it "in the name of the people."
The number of acceptors already amount to upwards
of 120,000 against some 40,000 dissentients.
The authorities of Berne have given instructions for
the economical support of the Italian refugees at the
expense of the State whenever private charity shall
be found insufficient. General THIRD, the French
Ambassador, has intimated to the President of the
Vorort that in future the Lombard refugees will not
be refused admission into France. The Government
of Uri has stationed a watch on Mount St. Gothard
for the purpose of repelling the Italian fugitives, un-
less provided with passports and one luuis-d'or for
travelling expenses.

as anticipated, the general opinion being that it will
prove below an average. In some particular districts
we are informed the produce will be greatly beyond an
average, while in others it will be as much b -1,,. 1). th
in quantity and quality. The potato disease is nut in-
creasing in this quarter. In fact, there is so little it
that had not the failure in 1846 naturally made growers
anxious and easily excited by the slightest indication of
a return of that visitation, all that hag appeared this
season in this quarter would in other cireurostalices
have been treated as unworthy of notice.—Scotsman.
Since Monday last we have been favoured with unin-
terrupted fine weather, which has had a most bi neficial
effect upon the wheat crops. The harvest is in a forward
state in this district ; a considerable quantity of w heat
has been cut, some has been housed, and all is fit or
nearly so for the sickle. We repeat what Re formerly
stated respecting the potato crop. The plant c very-
where appears healthy and vigorous, and we greatly
doubt whether there has been in this country any in-
stance of disease to cause the slightest anxiety.—Dur-
ham Chronicle.
It is with no little satisfaction that we have to an-
nounce the all but completion of the harvest in this dis-
trict, arid, upon the whole, we may add, as propitious as
we could have reasonably desired. The crops generally
have cut up well, and we have now secured the benefit
of a good and cheap loaf for the ensuing year.—Derby-
shire Courier.
Though a good deal of rain has fallen in the course of
the present week, chiefly at night, the weather, on the
w hole, has not been very unfavourable to the cutting of
corn, and fully one-half of the crops, in the hest parts
of the county, have fallen before the sickle. There are
signs of improvement, and a fortnight's tine warm dry
weather would place the crops of all sorts of grain out
of the reach of danger. We aro still able to report fa-
vourably as regards the potato crop in this part of Cum-
berland.—Carlisle Patriot.
We have to be thankful for a week of remarkably fine
weather, and it is gratifying to find that it has been
nearly general throughout the country, and has also ex-
tended to Ireland. Reaping is now quite general, and
in some parts considerable quantities have oeen secured
in good condition, and if the present weather continue,
of which there is every prospect, in another week the
bulk of the fields in this neighbourhood will be cleared.
—Newcastle Chronicle.
It is with extreme reluctance and regret that we state,
from personal examination, that a considerable portion
of the wheat crop has been irretrievably damaged in this
part of the kingdom. Up to Tuesday, many farmers in
this part of the country had been unable to carry a
single sheaf; but there it stood, on such a wet warm day
as Sunday, exposed to the constant rain. Others have
got in large quantities of corn, and set thou threshing-
machines at work as hard and as rapidly as possible.
The grain is released without much difficulty from the
chaff; but it is so full and wet that it has been found
necessary to kiln-dry all that has been threshed.—Brigh-
ton .Herald.
The weather has been this week gloriously fine and
genial, with the exception of the afternoon and night of
Thursday, when the air was cold, and several rather
heavy showers fell. The process of housing the wheat
has gone on vigorously throughout the district. Save in
the high and bleak localities bordering on Brecenshire
and Radnorshire, where the harvest is just beginning,',
there is very little wheat now in the field. The other
grain crops are in excellent condition, barley especially.
The potato crop continues to decay slowly. Turnips
look exceedingly well. The hop does not make much
progress, notwithstanding the fine weather of the pre-
sent week. The previous cold rain, and the storm of
last week, seem to have effectually checked the burr.
However fine the weather may be now, the burr is al-
most certain to be small. The duty for the district
has not advanced beyond 14,000/., to which it fell last
week from 20,000/., the sum previously named.— liere-
