A letter from Berne of the 2d gives a copy of the
project for a constitution for the canton of Friburg,
as drawn up by a committee. The chief features of
it are as follow :—The exercise of the Roman Catho-
lic religion and of the reformed forms of worship is
guaranteed. The domicile of citizens is to be invio-
lable ; all citizens are equal before the law, and are
to be tried by their natural judges. The press is
declared free, subject to correction of abuses. The
sovereignty is declared to reside in the people ; and
legislative, executive, administrative, and judicial
branches of power to exist. Any citizen of 25 years
of age is to be capable of holding functions
in the legislative, executive, and judicial
orders. No functionary of either of the three orders
can accept from another state any pension, title,
order, or present, under penalty of forfeiture. The
electoral assemblies are to nominate a deputy to the
Grand Council for 1,500 souls, and if there be a
fraction above 1,000, a deputy may be elected. The
legislative power is to belong to a Grand Council
composed of members nominated by the electoral
assemblies, t•.nd of ten members elected by the
Council itself. The duration of the present Grand
Council is to remain fixed at nine years, and after-
wards it is to be of a duration of five years. The
executive and administrative powers belong to a
Council of State of seven members, nominated by the
Grand Council.

Letters from Berne of the 4th inst. mention that
the Diet ordered on that day an inquiry to be insti-
tuted into the conduct of the members of the Council
of War of the Sonderbund, for the purpose of ascer-
taining which of them had been guilty of high
treason, by calling foreign intervention to assist the
armed resistance against the decrees of the Diet.
By the second article of the decree, the Diet recom•
mended all the cantons of tha Sonderisund to grant a
general amnesty, from which the above traitors
should alone be ex eluded.

Letters from Naples of the 31st ult. state that the
National Guard is embodied, and is doing regular
military duty in that city; they are for the present
armed with fowling-pieces, knives, or any other
weapon that may chance to be at hand. The Laz-
nroni had attempted to make an enzeute, but bad

lity had been restored.

become exceedingly popular.
The fortress of Alessandria, the key of Piedmont.

Austria is pouring in troops to Milan, and has
closed the Milanese railways against the public—they

ESPARTERO was at the theatre on the 31st, and his
reception was most enthubiastic. There was a ball at

tertained of the conduct pursued towards him by
CEIMSTINA.

The debate en the paragraph of the Address relat-
ing to the Reform banquets commenced yesterday in
the Chamber of Deputies. The first speaker was M.
DUVUGIER DE HAIIRANNE who, on the part of the
Opposition accepted tho challenge which the Minis-
try had thrown out to them. He contended that
these banquets were perfectly legal, and quoted a
decision of the Court of Cassation to that effect. M.
GUIZOT had, he said, first set the example of holding
political banquets by his great dinner at Lisieux.
The object of the revolution of 1830, he contended,
was not to substitute one dynasty for another, but to
substitute constitutional government for arbitrary
rule, and he was sorry to find that the Ministers had
forgotten the revolution and its causes.

M. GEnENAULT then rose to defend the Govern-
ment, and was left speaking when the post left.
