SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Berne, in the Debats, gives some
account of the state of parties in Switzerland at

present :

" Three distinct parties are represented in the Na-
tional Council. First, the moderate Liberal party, which
may be called the Conservative. This party is composed
of those who, after having opposed the reform of 1847,
are now sincerely resigned to them, and of those who,
having favoured by all the means in their power those
same reforms, do not wish to go any further. Next
conies the Radical party, or those who having taken a
great part in the reform movement of 1847, are not
satisfied with the results obtained, and only consider
them as a first step in the way of the regeneration of
Switzerland. La-tly, the Catholic party so called, the
old party of the Send( rbund. This party has revived
throughout all Switzerland ; it obtained great success at
the last elections, either by causing the election of several
of its best known leaders, or by contributing to that of a
'number of Radicals whose support they expect to have.
It is difficult to say, at this moment, what will
hereafter be the pretensiona of the Roman Ca-
tholic party, but it is easy to see that it is
already creating agitation. It recommends pppositiora
to the Federal government everywhere, and even in
many cantons to the cantonal authorities ; it already
assumes a haughty attitude where it feels itself the
master ; and it is labouring to organic: itself strongly
in the National Council, in order to give the majority'
to the conservatives or the radicals according to circum-
stances. It may be affirmed that the Roman Catholic
party will employ all its efforts t) retake the govern
r.nent,and to exercise it without division in the cantons
which it dominates, and that it will demand a shale
iof t where it is in a minority. The party has never
ceased to protest against certain measures which were
adopted after the defeat of the Sonderbund, with the
view of restricting the influence of the clergy, and
especially of religious corporations; and it is desirous
of obtaining at any cost the revocation of those measures.
It may also be affirmed that the Roman Catholic party
is perfectly disciplined, that throughout Switzerland
it obeys orders given by a central authority
in execution of a plan concocted jwith great
ability. In one of its approaching sittings the
National Council, united to the Council of ti e
States, will occupy itself with the election of
members of the Federal Council. M. Fazy, deputy if
the canton of Geneva, is a candidate, and is supported
by the Radical?, opposed by the Conservatives. It was
the latter who assured his success at Geneva ; but it is
pliaable that it will not be disposed, by nominating him,
to give him an influence in the superior direction of the
affairs of the confederation, which might become pre-
ponderatinq, and which would, perhaps, not be employed
for the advantage of the Catholic party, This party ap-
pears, in fact, only disposed to support M. Fazy in the
event of his giving guarantees which would not be
acceptable to the RadicAle."
