SWITZERLAND.

BERNE, August 20.

Her Majesty Queen Victoria has, through the
English Minister here, expressed her thanks to the
Federal Council for the cordial reception she has
met with in Switzerland.

FRANCE.
The Prussian Moniteur publishes the subjoined:
—" The King having terminated his course of
treatment, left Coblentz for Schwalbach to meet
the Emperor of Russia, who had come there from
Kissingen, and who was to remain four and twenty
hours near the young Grand Duchess, now residing
there. The King arrived at five o'clock and
alighted at the Hotel Allee-Saal, where the .Em-
peror immediately joined him. After half an
hour's conversation the two Sovereigns proceeded
on foot to visit the Grand Duchess. The sing
returned at six, and then proceeded to the railway
station to take the train back to Coblentz." The
Emperor of Russia, who is now at Kissingen, i°
said to have expressed to several persons on his re-
turn the great satisfaction which he felt at the
nature of the conference with the King of Prussia.
" A singular entertainment, almost approaching
the grotesque," says the Gazette de France, "w°"s
offered to the King of Prussia• lately on his visit
to Wiesbaden. On a small islet in the Rhine was
constructed in wood work a grand portico, semi"
circular, supposed to represent Olympus, and arti3'
tically ornamented with the statues of all the &via
nities. The tallest men of the regiment Were
selected to personate these gods and goddesses'
They were clothed in white drapery, strongli
starched, so as to imitate the rigid appearance of
marble ; then each, having his face covered with
white paint, was raised upon his pedestal. On .01
right of all was posted a colossal sub-commissional
officer, charged with the preservation of order. ge
cried out Steady !' to the divinities, whenever the
Royal steamer came in view. Strict prohibition
was pronounced against liquors being served to
the statues during the fete."
A telegram from Prague, in the:Press of:Vienna,
says :—" The town of Badweis is in flames by the
act of an incendiary. The fire broke out this
afternoon in the Brain-gasse. The post-office and
the court-house and fifty houses have lieee
destroyed. At eight this evening (August 14) lye,
learn that the conflagration has been got under.
The Pays has the subjoined : —" The 12th nun"
ber of the Lanterne, which was to have bee°
published in Paris, has appeared only in Belgian'
and we learn that it has been stopped at the frOr
tier. This issue contains, it is said, outrage°
against the Empress, which is conduct quite con;
sistent on the part of the man who insulted th
memory of Marie-Antoinette and Joan of Are:
However, we suppose that M. Rochefort has not
read the law respecting offences committed abroad
_
by French citizens, for that measure obliterate!
frontiers. Consequently, if this number of 01:
Lanterne contains a violation of the statute, it ea...
be prosecuted in Paris although published
Belgium."
A singular conflict has just arisen between lb°,
town of Mulhausen and the presbyteral council 01
the Reformed religion there. The new Germs'
church, built on the site of the former edifice;
some time back received bells from the foundry
M. Keller, of Zurich, while those of the old he'll
fry, which is still standing, were to be taken dell
and removed to the Catholic Church of St. gell.f."
with the exception of one intended for the VPir
testant building. At the last moment, howa_;
the council of the German presbytery formed
.ead
opposition to the removal of the bells, and err
13t
the affair before one of the tribunals. 10,1 io
awaiting a decision on the question of ownere":a
the objects in dispute have been sequestrated 3',
confided to the charge of a person appointed DJ
the Court.
