One of the principal journals of Berne, La
Suisse, publishes the following note, which is con-
sidered an official communication :—" For some
time past the Paris correspondents of the Swiss,
Belgian, and German journals seem to have formed
a conspiracy for the propagation of a report to
the effect that serious differences exist between
the Federal Council and the French Govern-
ment. They assert that the latter reproaches the
Federal Council with a want of energy in the
case of certain cantons, too little inclined to submit
to the requisitions of France in the matter of re-
fugees and passports ; that notes have recently
been exchanged on this subject between Berne and
Paris ; that the Marquis de Turgot is to occupy
himself energetically with these affairs immediately
after his arrival, &c. They have even gone so far
as to say that the French Government had recently
addressed a renewed communication of a very
pressing nature to the Federal Council respecting
the residence of some refugees at Geneva, and that
M. Kern, who has just passed some time in Swit-
zerland, has set out again for Paris with special
instructions on this point. We are in a position
to affirm that these allegations are perfectly
erroneous. M. Kern arrived in Switzerland on
private business of his own ; and though he has
seen during his stay the members of the Federal
Council, his intercourse with it has had little or
nothing to do with politics. The renewed com-
munication of the French Government respecting
the refugees at Geneva is a fiction. Since the
federal decree relating to this subject, no new com-
plaint has been made, and this affair has not even
been mentioned between the two Governments.
These latter have not exchanged any note on any
subject whatsoever for several months back, and it
may be affirmed, in a general way, that the rela-
tions between France and Switzerland have never
been on so easy a footing."
