LOND 0 N, AUGUST z, iBoz.

E Paris Papers of the z9th ult. which we
i-e.ctived -yesterday,' contain an Address from the
IPrrencli Minister in. Switzerland to the ExecUtive Go-
•,:-ernalent of that Country, in: which the resolution,of
withdrawingthe French Troops is confirmed. The
Government have, in consequenee, published a Pro:
clamatton to the People, requiring them :to observe
.oood order, and thus to put. it out of the "power of
neighbouring States to interfere':with their internal.
. -
atrairs. Now is the time arrived for Switzerland
be ancQ snare herself, and for her People to re-
.-.:over that Independence of which they:havebeen
most cruelly and unjustly depriVed for several years.
~Every friend of Liberty and human. happiness must
rejoice in this determination of the French GoVern.
'pent.. In mercy to mankind, we trust that French
Armies will never again find a pretext for the in-
vasion of. that Country. But when we 'con&ider
that the Valais is placed under the guaranty of
Irrance and Italy, both of which are now united
under one .Government, we cannot avoid express--
our apprehensions, that this retreat is nor in-
tended to be lasting. , We fear the embers of
niSsention will be fanned from other quarters, and
that . Switzerland will, be harassed into the neces.
ty of adopting the example of Italy, and obliged
to declare itself incompetent to provide for it, own
Security. It is certain, ;that the French Army
could not possibly have remained much longer in •
Switzerland, withoat involving themselves and the
wretched Inhabitants in all .the horrors of famine
and pestilence. The residence of this Army had
completely exhausted all the resources of agricul-
ture, commerce. and industry ; and the Country
had been so completely Squeezed, that it was high
time to leave it to its own destinies. If, however,
by patient labour, and perseverance, it should
cover a part of /its', wonted vigour, it may always
be considered, dike 1-lolland, as 'a dep6t, very use.,
ful for occasional incursion and spoil. We sin-

eerely trust, however, that when once the French
Armies have left SWitzerland boac fide, that the
brave Inhabitants will adopt proper precautions to
prevent their ever getting into it again.

There can be no doubt. but the Partition of Ger_
many has been definitively arranged. At the same
time the House of Aubtria seems disposed, if it

poSsessed the power, to exhibit a resistance to the
measures, which was not generally expeaed, Means,

however, will doubtless be devised- to reconcile G.

differences, by procuring it a considerable Aare of
the plunder.
"The French Consuls have authorised all the Pre_
fcecs to hold an extraordinary meeting, of their
Municipal Councils, between the 3d and 18th of

this month, for the purpose of regulating. all the
receipts and expenditure of their Communes.

At length the Government have authorised the
reparation of the Public Roads,• which was greatly
wanted, and on which, we conCeive. .with de-

ference, the Public Money nay be expended wicl

more advantagie, than fitting up Palaces and
giging Fitcs. It is ridiculous to talk of the bene.

of corinercF, if the
.high-road's be so bad,
that waggons break dmvrt, and the neck, of tra_

Yellers are endanered in passing

Th INI e unicipality of Amsterdam, in Circler to
create a greh:er circulation of money, 'has abolished

the tut c,4. a Farthing on ev(!.ry hundred florins,
which had' been establihed 'in ;795. Instead of

this duty, it has revived the 014 tax :of three sous

on every Bill, which lie &livered our

and note4,on the books.

This measure has been

received with great applause by ;Al the Merchants

of Ams.terdani.
