Canton of • ringlet-wad to re-establish haYmony
amongst the different parties who desolite that
Canton, and to settle the Compensations claim-
ed by • a number of Citizens, who during the
Insurredion were obliged to expatriate them-
selves in order to save their lives, is not very
satisfactory. Citizen MAT R, President of the
ministrative Chamber of Lucerne, who has filled
-that important fundion, reports, that in spite of all
his efforts, he has not been able to indtke the Re.
publican Emigrants, and the Members of the Ancient
Council-General to conclude an arrangement. It is
the latter who, according to alt the rules of justice,
are bound to provide this Indemnity, since they
ordered the persecutions of which the Emigrants have
been the vidims, and who caused their habitations to
be• pillaged. The Members of- the Council-Gene-
ral have agreed to the justice of their adversaries'
pretensions, but they demand that they shall be
indemnified for the expences of the whole Canton;
to which the Communes who have not partici-
pated in the Insurredion will not consent. This
affair has caused a great sensation in Switzer/and.
We arc assured that the French Government will
be entreated to decide upon it as a Mediator.

THE second representation of The Wedding Day,

evening; but owing to the sudden indisposition of
Mr. LAWRENCE, who performed the part of Mr.
that charader in the Drama could not be
filled up. An express was sent to Town to request
the aid of Mr. WILLIAM SPENCER ; but that Gen-
tleman being out on a shooting party, his assistance
could not be procured. In consequence of -these
disappointments, the performances are delayed till
next week, much to the mortification of the dis-
tinguished guests assembled at the Marquis's. To
console the company, they were entertained in the
evening with a Concert of vocal and instrumental
music, in which the lovely daughters of the Mar-
quis shone to much advantage, and the evening
concluded with a sumptuous supper prepared fur
the occasion. Among
,the visitors were Lord
GRANVILLE LEVISON GOWER, Lord Ossut.-
rroxe, Lord and Lady MILEOURNI, the two Mr.
LAMERS, Mr. SOTHEBY, Lady ASCILL, Dr. BAINS,
Mr. and Mrs. SHERIDAN, Mrs. KEMEL E, Mr. W.

Miss MELLON was very spirited in Patcb, which
she performed instead of Miss POPE, who remains
on the sick list. The House was as well attended
as could be exvtaecl in this severe weathet.

The translated Drama forth.comilig from the pen
of Mrs. INCHnALD, is to be entitled The Mysterious

it will, in a greattlegree have the charm of Novelty.

Mr. COLMAN read his rev Comedy to the Per.

is provided with an Irish character, and his merit
'in such charaders is well known to the Public.
