tXTRAti' OF A LEZ"riR FROM, ZURICH, MARCH 230
" SCARCELY were the tumults occasioned :art
Month by the Address of the Communes of Andel-
fiogen, °gingen, and others", against the redemption
of the: tythes and quit-rents appeased,. when a
more serious one arose in the. Communes of Wal-
dischwvl, Richtischwyl, Schonenberg, and Hutten.
The 16J1 of this month was fixed in these Com-
munes foi.. taking the oaths of fidelity to the Coun.
try, the Canton, and the Constittitional Authori.
tidy, The inhabitants of these Communes assem_
bled in very great nurnhers at the hour appointed, in
the Chart:li of Waldischwyl. The Counsellors
UsTcks, and HIRZEL, Deputies of the Cantonal
Government, had opened the Sitting by a dis.
cc utse appropriate to the occasion ; after the
reading .of the word's of the oath, a violent tu-
'mult suddenly broke mit, in which confused and re-
peated cries were heard of " No, No ; we will not
swear that ; but we will swear to the Ati of Medi-
' ation, the Constitution of 1798, to the Liberty ac-
I quired by TELL and WriikELItIED, Liberty; Equa-
lity arod the Gosp4l l" Ag efforts proving ineffeett;al
to restore order, the Deputation at length quitted
i Assembly.
The GovFrnnient of the Confederation being in.
formrd of these tumults, immediately took efficacious
intasotes in enforce: tespett fn,!... the LI w s.and Const.i.
toted Authorities, and to obtain sitti6laCtion fo.r the
past, and security for the future: His Excellency
the LANomvtivtait Of-Switzerland began by address.:
ing to the refrafturi Communes the following Pro.,

Curtin:tines of VValdischwyl, Richtischwyl, Sebo-
- nenberg, and Hutten, health. Wq make known
to them. by these pfesents,ourwill clearly made
manifest.

1.1 The new scenes of tumult that have taken place in your
Assembly of the 16th inst. and the refusal which folloWid, to
take the oath prescribed by your legitimateand constitutional
Government, has been made known to us. We have learnt,
with-the most 'profound indignation, that there are among
you men whom live , years or revolution, *daring which the
country has wept under all the evils of discord, has not di-
vested of party spirit, nor.eured of a culpable. resistance of the
laws. What is your objeet ? Where does the perverseness of
known agitators, and your own blindness, lead you ? Do yon,
think by these proceedings to compel thcGovernrnent to change •
the wise measures it has taken for the whole Casten ! Re-
speetful representations are listened to, but towards tumult-
ous assemblies humanity itself requires severity, andtbe em-
ployment of force. Do you entertain more culpable hopes !
•r ait the Constitution you assail ? In that case, inhabitants, -
hear our advice ; the Confederal Order, such as it has beer.
established by the Mediation, should be the basis of out
social eontraCt. The will of the Nation in this, was with
the- vows of Foreign Powers. The Government
bliShed iii consequence of the Mediation ought to be-as 'sa_
cred to you as the mediation itself. All resistance to this
-Government is high treason, which can only draw on it- _
Self opprobrium and perdition, but will never essentially dis-
turb the Public Force. Go'vernment rests on all friends of-
order, all true Swiss, which always will support it. At to us,
ourselves, it is our intention, as L4NoAmmA N of the Lielz.
vctic Confederation, invariatily to maintain', with tirninevt
and severity, -if needful; the honour of the Nation, and
rights ofeach confederated Government, against every enemy.,
of our reviving prosperity. Thus, all the authority oft
the Confederation .is under *the orders-- of the Council 'ofl
the Canton ,of Zurich, it' its local regulations are instrill,
••cient to repress tumults. And we take God and our Colin- •
