FRENCH PAFERS.

PARIS, SErr. p.m..—The London mail had
not arrived at the time of our going to press. The delay
js doohtless to Ir. attributed to the stormy state of the
weather yesterday.
M. Nicholas Krechlin, an attache to the French ambas-
sador at Vienna, arrived at, Paris on Saturday night with
dispatches from the Count de St. Aulaire, which must
have been of importance, as immediately the Duke de
Broglie had read them, he sent for the Austrian Charge
d'Affaires, and the Russian ambassador, and remained a
long time in conference with them.
The Marqois de Blaisel arrived also in the course of the
day from Baden, charged, it is said, with a mission re-
lating to the events in Switzetland and Germany.
M. de 111edem, Chief Secretary of the Russian em-
bassy, left Paris yesterday for Germany to meet the Em-
peror Nicholas.
The Memorial Bordelais of the 30th ult., contains the
fdlowing

46 We have received the following important intelligence
from Spain. The Court of Madrid ie in an extract/ (hoary
state of agitation. The Queen has received positive in-
formations that M. Zea keeps up a s,cret corres7ondence
with Don Cat lo,whom the northern powers wish to continue
in Portugal, in order that he may he near at hand should
King Ferdinand expire. Indignant at these dark machi-
natio, a, the Queen has urged his Majesty to dismiss M.
Zea, and replace him by the Duke- of San Fernando, and,
also to enter into alliance with England and France. But
the King, weak and timid, cannot come to any resolu•ion,
but maintains his temporizing system, keeping his Minister
in order that he may not offend the Holy Alliance. It is,
'however, hoped, that on the arrival of the Infanta Char-
lotta from St. Sebastian, he may be induced to come to
some determination. The Spanish priests are spreading a
report throughout the country, that the Emperor of
Russia has engaged his daughter to the eldest son of Don
Carlos, and promised to unite Portugal to Spain, and
bring it under the sceptre of Charles V. Unfortunately
the ignorant and credulous population of Spain are not
sufficiently aware of the intrigues of the Apasrolics.
The Helvetie of Porentruy, has the following of the
27th ult., from Basle :—" The decision of the Diet which
enjoins the total separation of this Canton, is about to be
c srried into effect. A new era is commencing for us.
The new State of Basle confined to the town and the
three vil'ages on the right bank of the Rhine, has lost
all its political importance. It has sunk to the lowest
rank among the Cantons, and to palliate its weakness, has
not the recollections of former greatness. This decline is
owing to unexampled obstinacy. Basle has to attribute
its fall to the blind ambition of the aristocrats, and the
servile obedience of the burghers. This proud city by its
unjust preten•ions, and its efforts to enforce them, rushed
into ruin rather than make a few sacrifices to justice and
moderation."

The following statement of the military forces of Switzer.
land, extracted from a letter of the 28th ult., at Zurich,
will be found interditing at the present moment. The
federal contingents amount to 66,332 men ; but as almost
every canton furnishes more than the number required, we
may reckon them at 72,000, the oldest of whom, except
the officers and non ciimmissioned officers, is not much
more than thirty years of age. To this number are to be
added the Swiss troops serving in foreign countries, who
are to return to their own country in case of war. Swit-
zerland, besides the Federal c litingents, possesses cantonal
reserves, which though not fixed as to number, may
amount to 120,000 men, under twenty-five years
of age, most of whom have served in the contin-
gents, and are, as in the army, equipped and orga-
nised. After them come the men who have served
their time in the service, and whose number is unknown ;
but the greater part from the age of 45 to 60 would be
found ready to fight for their families and th-ir property.
Tous Swi'zerl ind possesses in federal contingents 12,000,
in troops serving in foreign countries who are to return in
case of need, 10,000: and in cantonal reserves 120,000,
forming a total in 202,000 men, to which roust be added
the men above 45 years of age, whose number is unknown.
Switzerland has no cavalry except carabineers, who are
excellent marksmen. The Government, it is true, has no
money to maintain an army, but national troops, fighting
in their own country, can exist without pay better than
any oth-rs. From the well known policy of Europe;
it is evident, however, that one great power wi I
always find its advantage in furnishing the means
necessary for the defence of the country.
Extract of a letter of the 22d from Bologna ;—" A
report is current, that in consequence of an order from
Rome, the Swiss troops in the legations and on the con-
fines of Naples will he removed, and their places supplied
toy a corps of Austrians. It is said that an express has
already been sent off to Lombardy for that purpose. Same
disturbances occurred at Lugo on the 18th, when several
persons were wounded Among the letter was M. Bresi.
an advocate. One Cenrurine was killed. The Papal
soldiers were sent to the spot, with orders to fire ; but it
was rein irked th it they fired in the air, being unwilling
to act against the people."
The filiowing, dated Frankfort-, Aug. 25, is from the
Augsburg Gazette of the 29th :—" Most of the Envoys,
who were scattered in different watering-place., have
returned here w ithin the list few days, notwithstanding the
departure of Count Munch Bel,inghausen, President of the
Duet. It is natural to suppose that the chief object of the late
interview of the two greatest monarchs of Germany, and of
the deliberations of the distinguished statesmen who are still
in Bohemia, was to agree upon the direction to be given
in these critical times to the action of the Diet ; hence the
ohj -ct of the journey of the P esident of this assembly
probably is to confer with those statesmen in order to
secure to the result of their deliberations a prompt and
efficient execution. It appears from the negoci 'thins now
in progress here between Al. Taber, an envoy from the
Swiss Confederation, and the German Diet, relative to the
removal of the Poles, that these refugees are Likely to be
sent down the Rhine, and conveyed, at their own choice,
either to England or America. The expenses from Basle
to Rotterdam, it is said, are to be defrayed by the Con-
federation, and the rest by Fr tnee."

Pants, SECT. I.—We find the following article in the

Messager:—
.1 Our express that left Bayonne on the 2Sth brings
the following news
•"fwo extraordinary couriers on their way from
Madrid to Paris arrived here last night, and left despatches
for the Spanish Consul in this town ; since then several
reports very favourable to Don Pedro have been i❑ cir.
culation. If we can believe them, it would seem that
after a pretty serious skirmish between the troops of
Bourmont and Count Villa Flor, and which is stated to
have been wholly to the advantage of Don Pedro, the
Duke of Cad *vial, with the greater part of his troops,
made his submission to Don Pedro, and that Don Miguel,
in consequence of this unpleasant event, retreated to Campo
Mayoa, the last town in Portugal towards the Spanish fron-
tier, and not far from Bad ijoz. It should even seem that
these couriers have brought the intelligence of the entrance
of Don Migud with his staff into Spain. Nothing at
all is said of Bourtnont."—Le National, Sept. 2.
