SIIITZIRLAND.

Brim, MARCH 14.—The Frickthal is at laft or-
ganized. It will remain under the rule of an ex-
ecutive Government, and that of a Prefed, till
its pedal union with the Helvetic Republic.—
There provifional conftituted authorities have been
appointed by Citizen Veaxisac, Minifter of the
French Republic here, and Citizen Mow yaICHAIDI
commander of the French troops in the Helvetic
Republic. The inhabitants are exempted from all
taxes which they have hitherto paid to the honk
of Auflria, in confederation of the great loffes and
calamities which they fuffered during the war.—
They are alone compelled to provide for the main-
tenance of the trifling number of French troops
which at prcfent lie in the Frickthal. All the
public money and the corn, which had been col-
t leded in the city magazines, are placed under the
1 direction of the Executive Government, by order
I of General MONTRICHARD.
Citizen VERNIMAC has ordered the Prete& to
allure his fellow-citizens, in the moft folemn man-
ner, that their country, for the future, fhall form
a Canton of the Helvetic Republic; by which de-
claration all the former reports, refpeding its par-
tition, are wholly contradided.
In purfuance of this order from the French Mi-
nifter, raid Prefed has iffued a proclamation, in
name of the French Government, in which he
exhorts the inhabitants to withold, for the future,
all political communication with the Auftrian Au•
thoritics on the right.fide of the Rhine, in their
legiflative and judicial proceedings; and noodl-
ing all the towns to fend two deputations to Rhine-
fidd, in order to concert with them and the Exe-
cutive Government the neceffary meafures towards
the organization of the Legiflative and Judicatory
Authorities of that country. This union of the
Prickthal with the Helvetic Republic took place
at Rhinefield ; and the organization of this coun-
try was elated amidft the acclamations of the
people, who teftificd their joy at this fortunate
turn of affairs without one diffenting voice.
It is elated, that feveral members of the Se-
nate, advocates of the fy ftem of Federalifm, are
about to refign their pofts. Among thefe are
mentioned, Citizen Wyss of Zurich; Kauss of
Lucerne; aid GE mut, of Glaris.
MARCH i6.—lt is laid, that our Covernment
has received very fatisfadory intelligence from
Citizen DIESBACH, at Vienna. The Imperial
Court has prontifed to acknowledge the new Go-
vernment of Switzerland, by which the money
which this place has in the Vienna Bank will alto
be guaranteed. The fum, however, is not fo .
great as has been reported, the whole amount of
that which belongs to our country not exceeding
twenty millions.
In purfuance of the late decree of the Senate,
great expedition is making in all the Cantons to
appoint the Members, who, in concert with thofe
to be feleited by the Senate, are to form the Elec-
tive Cornmiffion of each &mon. This had been
done at Zurich fo early as the z3th ; and there
affemblies were appointed to meet the 18th follow.
ing. Citizen Vaemisac is interefting himfelf with
our Government in behalf of the prifoner of State,
SULZER of Wintherhur, but whether by order of
his Government, or at ;he inftance of private per-
ions, is not known.
