LONDON, JANUARY 23, iBoz.

WE this morning received Paris Ivo-lids of the
24. th inst. one day later than those which came to
band yesterday. Their contents are unimpoitant.
-In the Packet some of Marquis CORNWALLIS'S
Horses were brought over, for which his Lordship
bad no further occasion at Amiens.
The French Funds continue to rise. On the

23d they were at 58.
The people of the Grisons, and of the Forest
Cantons .of Switzerland, continue to be in a very-
unsettled and unhappy state. It is to be hoped,
that among the other important objeas of the Ft itsT
CotisuL's visit to Lyons, the fate of this once
happy country has not been forgotten. The power
that will contribute to the restoration of tranquillity,
in a country which has for whole centuries been
famed for its Libenty, -its Independence, and its
Simplicity, will do more towards consolidating itself
in the minds and afi'eaions of mankind, than by all
the lustre of Conquest, or the magnificent appanage
of novel 'institutions. We despair of ever seeing
the ancient primitive urbanity of the Swiss re_,
vived, Their Simplicity has been sacrificed to the
violence of Rapin and Ambition, but there remains
sufficient energy among its Citizens, to maintain a
charaacr of virtue among the society of European
Nations. This is all that can be hoped for, after
the wasting scene of Revolution ; but if that can
be attained, Switzerland may, in time, recover her
ancient honour and felicity.

Seven flansburgh Mails still due.
