LONDON, OCY'OBEP 1802.

AVTER our Paper had been yesterday some time
at Press, we received our complete Sets of Paris
,journals to the aa.th inst. We some days ago
_in-
tirnated that Adviees had been received of the Sob-
jugation of the Swiss to the Will of the CHIEF
CONSUL, which event these Papers confirm. When
we first informed our Readers of the unfortunate si-
tuation of the Swiss, we expressed our apprehen-
sions that 'a
sufficient degree of unanimity did not
prevail in that unhappy Coontry, to ensure a
successful resistance to a French Force, and we
find this apprehension too fatally reali?.ed. In the
smaller Cantons, the 111411 spirit of patriotism seems
to have been sufficiently roused, and the noble Ber-
n:se seem to have resolved to perish under the ruins
of their Country ; which resolution was strongly
painted in the Letter which we yesterday laid be-
fore onr Readers, written by a Magistrate of
that place ; but in the larger and lower Cantons,
more. immediately exposed to French Invasion,
sentiment of •safety has prevailed, and they have
parchased life at the expence of Liberty, and Inde-
pendence. Switzerland may henceforth be consi-
dered as a Province of France, as every thing in that
Country now depends on the pleasure of BoNA-
PARTI. With a great proportion of the Swiss,
however, this submission is forced, and we have no
'doubt but that the flame of Patriotism will again burst
forth, whenever an opportunity shall present itself.
:What effld this termination of the contest may pro-
dtlce upon the Councils of those Continental Powers
woo arc most interested in nticcking the italliltiOtlS
career of France, we will not presume to decide.
We cannot for a moment conceive that the question
materially changed, since it is of little importance
if the Power of the FIRST CONSUL is increased,
..whether it be by the menace of violence, or by
the anal exercise of force. At, all events, the
'Principle ailed upon -by France - remains the same,
and ought to be combated with increased energy
by the Powers of Europe, if .they,have any wish 'to
preserve their own IndependeoCe, .or 'provide for
their own Security,. . . .

The l'N',lernbers of the-Helvetic Senate, that body
of men so odious to their. Country, were io re-a -

crrnlale at )erne on theritl; instant, and six De_
patieq-were to repair from that place to Paris, to
`receive the commands of the CH Tr CONSUL.

After all the sneers and contradiaions of our
ignc.rant and impotent Cotemporaries, what we
stated more than ten days ago, turns out to. be cot.
•reet, and BONAPAKTA was to quit Paris as> yester-
-44, on his intended Tour to the Towns along the
Coast.

• The Public have for many years been satisfied of
our-Enperior sources of Intelligence, which is suf-
ficie.ntly proved to U 5 by the unt.xampled circulation

of our Paper.—We shall only observe, th4t- the
same superior and "peculiar sources of Intelligence
continue open to us, and they shall continue to be

zealously employed for the information of the Public,
The-new Plan of IrideMnities has been accepted by
the
,N,lajoriry of the Deputation of the Empire. It re-
- mains to be seen, whether Austria will resist the exe-
of this definitive proposition on the. part of the
~T4ediaring Powers, Which is certainly highly unfa-
y;:urible to her interests. A reclamation was present-
ed by, the Deputation at its fourteenth sitting, 'on the
part of the KI NG of SWEDEN, as 'a
State of the Em-
pire, in which His -Majesty expresses his in.
guietude, that the Plan of Indemnities should have
been in many parts already carried into execution by
force, before it had received,- in conformity to. the
Constitution,- the sanction of the Eivipg4oit and the
Empire. His BttITAIII\IC MAJESTY, as ELECTOR
of
_I-I,ANoy ER, has --accepted the cession of, the

Ilishopric or Osilaburg in perpetuity, as a compen-

Nation for Hildeibeim, Carve.),; and Ike:vier, and
other rights,. provided that Bishopric is entirely
uriccAitionally:annexed to.the Eledorate„
