LAUSANNE, OCT. q.--Yesterday evening a Re.
port prevailed, that a Column of the Confederate
Army was marching towards Bull and v,,,,J.—ltn-
mediately several Companies were dispatched from
hence, which arrived the aame night at revay.—
'this morning we found it was a false alarm, occa-
sioned by a movement of a Party' of the Insurgents
who now occupy Fribourg. and who, fending their
numbers too great for the qua, tees afi,rded by that
Town, have sent Detachments into the neighbour-
ing Communes for accomtretdatton.
The last letters from Beraz, induce us to hope
that that Canton, together with Basle, Zurich ,nd
SGleure, wall accept the mediation of the Fir,t
Consul ; but it is feared the Lesser Cantons will
adopt the senseless determination to resist, and
with the greatest anxiety we hourly exped the. an-
,wer from the Diet at Sch'witz. The arrival of
General RAY? at Berne, caused a • great sensation
in that quarter—the Chiefs were thrown into.
consternation when they learnt the object of his
mission. But What embarrasses them the most is,
lett they are igeorant how to retain their forces in
proper subjedion, or, allowing them a proper degree
of liberty, to restrain them from cominitting.ex.
ceSses similar to those perpetrated by the Bernese
Army in 1798.
The following Address has been transmitted to
the French Minister, in the name of the greater
part of the Communes in the Canton of Fara:—

" The horrors of civil war were at thcnr height—the blood
of the Swiss was shed by the handg of Swiss.. The pacifi-
cator of Europe is willing that thAe evils should cease. He
has directed his benevolent regards towziic::. unfortunate Hel-
vetia—on this-Canton in particular. He wishes that we may
be happy--that we may be free--and so we shall.
" Condescend, Citizen Minister, to receive the testi-
monies of the sincere gratitude of the Municipalities of ****,
and also that of the inhabitants of the Communes.

" The name of liounrnivra slrkil be pronounced only
with adinirati,m and tratituae by our posterity, as it is by
ourselves,

A Letter from Zurich announces,, that • between
'S and 6000 Peasants have possessed, themselves of
that Town, and that they have dissolved the Pro-
visional Government which had been established
there. This intelligence; however, wants confir.
mation.

The City of Fribourg 'has also constituted itself
upon the ancient footing. The day before yester-
day a Council of zoo assembled, and has appointed,
as at Berne., a Committee of ten, composed entirely
of the most zealous Partizans of the ancient Aristo-
cracy.

OCT. 10.--The Adjutant of the FIRST CONSUL,
Gen. Ray?, has returned here from Berne._ He has
concluded with the Bernoisa new Armistice of four
days, during which they are to disband their Troops.
The Diet of sanv;iz have dispatched a Courier to
Paris. It is expected that the Helvetic Govern-
ment will also disband, the first opportunity, the
Militia of the Canton of Vaud, conformably to the
Proclamation of the FIkST CO2`.ISUL. •

EXTRACT OF A LETTER. ?ttOM BASIL, OCT. 9.
" The -First Consul's Aid-de-Camp, Citizen
RAP?, has passed through this City on his way to
Paris, after having notified to the Eighteen Can-
ton., the Proclamation of the First Consul. It is
relinrted that they were at first inclined, at Berne, to
,tamlit to the intervention of the First Consul, but
that they after w ards changed their opinion, 'and that
Citizen RArr has received not a very satisladory
anssver. We also learn, that those who distribut-
ed the Proclamation of the Chief Consul in the Can-
ton of Berne, have been. looked upon in a very un-
favourable manner by the New Authorities, and
hat seve_ral individuals have been arrested upin this
ground-, and sent to the prisons of Arbours..
" The Diet of Sci.--tuitz has addressed a Pro-:
dominion to all the Inhabitants of Switzerland,
dated 30th Septemioer, of which the following are
e X t raas.
l•' " The moment is at length arrived when the Swiss Na-
'
tion can freely and openly express its- will, with regard to
the Political Constitution which it may think proper to
give itself."
[After speaking in terms of just reprobation of
the Government which
has Just been destroyed, it
- proceeds.]
" The period is come, in which Order and Peace is to he
restored. Thos.: who dare to disturb either, shall receive se-
' vere punishmeni. A few examples will undoubtedly be
sutllientto open the eyes of those who still stiller them-
-1 selves to be misled, end to deliver them for ever from the
1 snares of their perfilidus Leaders. F veri these last may be
gained when they that far from wishing completely to
re-estshlish the ancient order of things, however happy it
might formerly have been, it is now destroyed—irrevocably
destroyed. The most careful attention will be employed,
as well in the establishment of. the general Constitution, as
itl the formation of particular Institutions ; and care will be
taken neither to lose sight of the Changes which have oc,-
curred in the nature of things,- l'ior of the wishes which
these changes may have given birth to. Everything will be
donethst is consistent With r4ason to give general satisfaalon.
It is by such eonduel Switzerland can chew itseilwor-
thy of the benevolent intentions which were evinced towards
her by two great neighbouring Powers, who by the nth
Article of the Treaty o Lunevillc, stipulated that she should
have
.the right of regulaticg her own Constitution. That
Divine Providence which has conduded us through so many
storms to such a miraculous state, of happiness, will also.
grant u 5 its assistance in the accomplishment of this great
Work, and will lead us through those painful trials, to that
happy and peaceful state,- the influence of which was felt
even beyond our ancient boundaries." • .
