BASLE, SErE. t2.--,--The following is a Summary
of the events which have taken place within these
few days in the Interior of Switzerland.
The proceedings with respea to the Landamman,
Dot.DER, resulted from a temparary coalition be-
tween the Oligarchy and the Patriotic Party at
Berne, who, in the persuasion that DOLD2R was
generally detested, were inclined to enforce his
dismission. This measure was previously discuss-
ed at the house of Citizen TR tuoLvt, Minister of
the Police and of justice, and it was executed with
the Concurrence of the Senator VONFLUE, COOI.
mandant of the Armed Force, by a number of the
young men of both parties. But the French Mini-
ster, as well as the Senate, having highly disap-
proved of this revolutionary proceeding with respect
to the First Magistrate of the Helvetic Republic,
MittOLET and VOitsrLtm gave-in their resigna-
`tions, and Demosx, • who had been carried to the
'house. of M. STURL-21t, - at je,o,'-istosT, ruin-lied to
Berne: As the new Members of the Executive
Council did not appear willing to enter upon the
discharge of their fundions, the Senate coniamed
the Citizens DOLDER, RUTTIMAN and FUSSLI in
their respective offices, by a regular instrument, on
the 16th inst.

The Citizen Witt's:MAC was strongly inclined to
have quitted Berne, in consequence of the above
events, in order to return to Paris ; but by the
urgent request of the highest Officers of the Go-
vernment, he was induced to change his resolution,
and to remain in Switzerland.

The Citizen KOHN was re-appointed to the
Administration of the Police and Justice, after the
dismission of THIBOLET ; but refusing to accept
the employment, the office has been suppressed, and
its funaions partly transferred to the department
of War, and partly to that of the Interior.
The Army under the command
,of ERLACII, is
chiefly composed of Emigrants who had served in
the Swiss Regiments in the pay of England,. and
since the Peace have returned to their native coun-
try, of deserters from the Helvetic Troops, of Sol.
diets who had been, previous to the Revolat an, in
the service of France and, Holland, and of an im-
mense number of Peasants whom he has found means
to bring over. It is paid from considerable funds
which have been prnvided by a Committee of Insur-
rettion, established at Berne itself, and under the
very eyes of the Government. The diff:rent co-
lumns are comminded by veteran Officers. This
Army has successively gained possession of Br:rgs-,
Leuzehourg, Z9fingem, and Arnau ; the last men..
/toned city, occuptLd wholly in pursuits of indus-
try, was constrained to capitu%ate. The Prefec
ROTHLEZ signed the Capitulation with an Insur-
gent Commander of the name Of MAY, WllO is a
Proprietor in the distrid of Argovia. The Public
Chests, and all the Arms were delivered to him.

It is proper, however, we should observe, that
the strictest order and good conduit were preserved
in the City of- 4rau, to the very moment of its
capitulati,n. , The Commander in Chief, ERLACH,
issued a.Proclamation, ih which he announces to the
Pe,,ple, that he is ordered to re-establish the an-
cient form of Government in every quarter. He
detached a Corp; towards Arbourg, in order to.gain
possession of that Fortress; but the brave Leman
Troops, who composed its garrison, declared that
they would defend the place to the last extremity ;
and they still hold out. ,
ERLACH proceeded with the. main body of his
Army against Soleure, which surrendered at the
first summons. A number of Peasants in that quar_
ter, have gone over to the Insurgents, who iimne.
diately marched for Berne, where they arrived on
the 18th. General ANDERMATT arrived there the
same evening from Zurich with two or three
thousand men, which increased the Force of the Go_
. vernment to about 5000--they were, however,
unable to make head against the army of ERLACH,
consisting of from zo to 30,003 men.
' In consequence, Negotiations were necessarily
entered into, the result of which was, the evacua
tion of Berne by the Helvetic Government, which
'has withdrawn to Lauryznne, with the Troclps at
it's disposal.: The ministers of France, Spain, and
the Italian-Republic, have accompanied the Go.
vernmenr, as well as the different Secretaries of
State, -the" Senators, and in fad the greater part of
'ate Public Officers and Fundionaries.

Berge is still retained by. the Insurgents under
the-ecmmand•of ERLAcu, and since that period we
a•te -unacquainted with what has passed in that
City.

It is generally reported that the French Go.
vernment has dispatched t 2,000 men in order to
reestablish the tranqvilliti of Switzerland.

IitIADALOUT E.—The Captain-General RICHE_
PANIE, at Basseterre, has ordered the Merchants of
Point-a-fietre to pay a forced loan of one million of
'lyres Tournois.—The Merchants held a ►neeting on
the subjed, and unanimously resolved, not to pay it.
--The General .Commanding at Point-a,Petre, on
being apprized of this determination, declared, that
if they persisted in their refusal, lie would arrest the
principal of them, and send them in irons to Basse-
terre. This threat had not produced any imme-
diate effen, and we are uninformed of the result.
The Merchants, however, must doubtless submit,
should the General, in the still critical state of his•
affairs, think proper to enforce his order. About
Soo Blacks. continued in thil woods well armed ;
the French had, in a great measure, cut off their
communication with the inhabited part, of the
Island,- and were in expectation of starving the
Insurgents. ,Such as had surrendered, or been
taken, were sent to the Saints, until arrangements
could he made for their final disposition. General
PELAGE had been sent prisoner on board a frigate
to France, for trial ; but the nature of the charges
against him are not mentioned.
