SWITZER LAND.

Batas, Jaw. 22.—The fo long expeaed firft
Magiftrate REDING arrived here the t7th from
Faris ; and was received by the Inhabitants with
every poffible demonftration of joy. He made
his entrance under the efcort of a detachment of
cavalry, which the inferior Senate had difpatched
to meet him, and the ringing of all the bells of the
city, which proclaimed his arrival. In the mean
time, whatever joy his arrival may have occafion-
ed, the difpatches which he has brought with him
do not Teem to be of a nature calculated fo as to
make it proper or advifable, by a fpeedy publica-
tion of them, to encreafe the joy of the people. All
is tranfaEled with the greatelt fecrecy. The fumed-
ing Jay was paired in private conferences; and it
was not till the icith that that Magiftrate commu-
nicated the refult of his negociations to the aim-
bled Senate, by which feveral of the points were
referred• to a Committee of Five, with orders to
make their report as coon as poffible. Notwith-
(landing this communication, all is withheld
from the public, who, on the 2 tft, four days after
REDING'S arrival, had heard nothing official, and
mull, therefore, content themfelves with the fo
often repeated but indefinite affurance—That the
refult of the negociations with France were highly
facisiactory for all true friends of their country !
With the return of Citizen R MING, it Teems that
the French Government are inclined to adopt mi-
litary precautions in fume diftriets of our Republic,
which, by tome, are eonfidered as not a little to
coincide with our Magiftrate's return. General
Mosra WHAM), in particular, has unexpettedly
given orders for a refpeClable corps to take poiretnon
cf the City and Carlton of Schaff haufen, where, for
. thefe fix months, no French garrifon was deemed
necefrary.
The endeavours of the Prefea of Grifon to pre-
vent, by gentle means, the figning of Addreffes for
a fepara:ion from Switzerland, has proved ineffec-
tual, and he conceived hirolif obliged to cons.
mcncc with thof tigclous mcafures which he had
threatened in his proclamati:m. The ;.night Tot.
at ustitc, one of the principal of the late Grifon
Nubility, has beca put in amen.
The following Letter was delivered from the
Fut s-r Cossin. to Citizen REDING, Chief Magi-
llrate of Switzerland, previous to his departure

The appointment of Sir Jon), MITTORD, to the
Office of Lord High Chancellor of Ireland, was
officially announced in Parliament laft night. Mr,
Asso r, who is very well qualified for the fituation,
will, it is believed, fucceed him as Speaker.

It is reported that accounts have been received
in town of the arrival of three French fhips of the
line at St. Domingo, and that they were well re-
ceived by Toussaiar. We know not on what au-
thority the rumour refs. The French only failed
on the 15th of Dec. and this would be a quick
paffage indeed, even if it had not met with flormy
weather, which we know it did loon of er failing.
We find no notice of the kind in the Paris Jour-
nals which we have this morning received to the
6th inflant :nclufive. They bring, however, Come
interaing particulars refpeding the infUrreetion in
St. Domingo, which by Tousseisres narrative of
the buftnefs, fcems to have been completely
quelled. It is remarkable that he (tiles himfelf
Governor of St. Domingo, without once men.
tinning the mother country.
The veffel that brought over thefe papers men-
tions a report that BoaIPARTI is Coon to be no-
minated Chief of the Batavian and Helvetic Re-
publics. It is obvious that this is only a Cheer at
the proceedings which lately took place at Lyons.
The following extracts prefent the only articles
worthy of notice in the French Journals :--

AMIENS, FIB. 2.—Conferences are continued

BONA PARTS, Plenipotentiary of the Republic,

CHINERAL OF DIVISION, MONTRICHARD, COMMAN-
DANT OF THE FRENCH TROOPS IN auxin*, TO
THR MINISTER OF WAR.
Head-quarters at Berne, Jan. s 7.
I have the honour of acquainting you, Citizen
Minifter, that being informed that the inhabitants
of feveral communes in the canton of Zurich
were affembling in arms, I ordered out the
garrifon of this place, with one piece of can-
non. The infurgents, whole pretence was the
payment of certain taxes, and the nomination of
different public functionaries, difperfed on the ap-
proach of the troops, and thefe communes are re-
ftored to good order.
Though this event is of very little importance,
I thought it my duty not to negle& informing
yon of it, efpecially as the malcontents have al-
ready fpread a report here, that the rebels had
taken poffeffion of the city of Zurich. Health
and refpeft. (Signed) MONTRiCHARD.
