PRIVATE LETTER, PARIS, OCTOBER 30.

On Wednefday laft BONAPARTE infpeded the
Boys at the Prytanee, at St. Cyr. The Cow suc
was efcorted by a detachment of his Corps of
Guides, and attended by his Aides-de-Camp Ma-
dame '
BONAPARTE was attended by General CAF•
ream.'' and her daughter by another French
General. They were all at St. Cyr by one o'clock.
The CoNst/c law the Boys go through all their mi-i
litary exercife, and then fpoke to feveral of them,
examining them himfelf with the molt patient at-
tention, particularly thole who were in the ma-
thematical clafs, and giving them every affurance
of his prote&ion. He advifed them to make the
belt ufe of their time ; told them that he himfelf
was thrown on the world at fixteen years of age,
and had often had reafon to lament the timelle
loft when he might leave ftudied. He then visited
the Infirmary. Madame BONAPARTE and her
daughter had chairs placed for them in the garden,
but fcarce were they at any time feated when he
would change his pofition, and confequently they
were obliged to follow him. After palling five
hours and an half in this manner, he fuddcnly
called out, " Let's take bode," was mounted in
an inftant, and almoft as loon out of light. The
ladies let off immediately alfo, the honks that
drew them in a gallop. Whenever there is an in-
fpedion of the military, or any thing of a military
nature, no notice is given till an hour or two be-
fore. The laft time BONAPARTE meant to have
vifited the Military School at St. Cyr, he under-1
Rood that he was expeded ; this ftopt him effec-
tually for three months afterwards. His motions
are always rapid, and very often uncertain.
Few people (peak here of an event which is,
however, of importance in the eyes of thole
who are at all acquainted with the defigns and
thoughts of the FIRST CONSUL. This event is the
birth of a fon to his brother. Madame Louts
BONAPARTE Is, of all the ladies of Paris, one di
the molt virtuous and belt concluded. She leads
a very retired life, and is always in the bofom of
her family. The greater part of the plans rela-
tato the choice, appointment, and eventual in-
tion of fumfor, detailed with much care
and complaifance in ;he lait Senatus Confukum,
have.all a reference to a nephew whom he fhould
educate himfelf, and who would be from 20 to
25 years of age at a period when the FIRST CON-
sin, might be (till of an age to govern and dired
a Rate. BONAPARTE is 34, and of courfe the in-
fant who is juft born would be 24 when the FIRST
CONSUL would be 58. One feels how uncertain
mutt be the execution of filch a plan. But one
feels alfo that a fimple poffibility is all that is
necelfary to produce great combinations in the
minds of men who are powerful, ardent, and for-
tunate. They Teem to think that all tha is poffible
is a debt which Fortune owes, and dill pay them.
It is Paid that the Goervative Senate, as it is
termed, which has had fo large a :hare in the po.
litical change: of the laft three months, is now about
to make a material change in its own body, and,
as you may fuppofe, for its own benefit. There
are to be fixty places in the Senate, called Senatore-
rier, the holders of which are to have un leukemia
double—twice the amount of their prefent falaries !
It was at firft propofed that thefe places fliould be
occupied according to feniority, but •the Govern-
ment, that is to fay the FIRST CONSUL, unwilling
to lofe any poffible afcendancy in any quarter, tn.
fitted that they should be at his difpofal ; and fo
the matter has been decided !

It is Paid of FOUCHE, the late Minifter of the
Police, that on the day before his abforption, but
when he was certain of his fall, he fent a mefflige
to the keepers of the gaming houfes in the Falai:
Royal, peremptorily demanding the fum of t 00,000
au:. Under the fear of his power and the hope
of his proteaion, the money (ia,gool.) was railed
and fent within a few hours. The next day they
learned that 'the powers of their friend and pro-
teetor were gone
On the firft appearance of an Enah Paper, en-
titled the Argru, the Officers of the Police entered
the office, and made a feizure of all the copies,
there being an exprefs law, which prohibits the
eftablifhment of a newfpaper without the permit.-
lion of Government. It appears, however, that
this interference, on the part of the Police, ori•
ginated in a miftake,as the copies feized have fince
been returned to the office, and the paper permit-
red to proceed. TALLF Y RAND wrote a very angry
letter on the fubjea to the Prefea of the Police.—
The reply of the latter is couched in terms of the
moll abjea fervility, and the Prffebi further pro-
miles to give the paper every affiftance in his power.
It is evident that the Argil, has the fanaion of the
French Government. Indeed the mere perufal of
its contents is fufficient to authorize this cohjec-
ture, as it is molt pointedly feiere dit, ch. Englifb

calamities which then exifted can be imputed to
the Englifh, who gave a molt important aid to
HENRY IV. for which he was ever grateful, and
of the utility of which the French Nation muff
have been fully finable. The affiftance which
ELIZABETH gave HENRY 314 his party, was aS
wife and liberal as the motives of PHILIP 11. in
aiding the fadtious Nobles of the League, were
difhonourable. His condud was a bafe mixture of
bigotry and ambition. Nevqthelefs the general
confequence, deduced accurately from the hifinry
of there times, is certainly extremely juft in itfeli,
and it is applicable to all nations. 66 Every fa-
. • .
mily, every party which calls in foreign powers to
its aid, has deferved, and muff deferve, the male-
di6tion of its country." Nothing can be more true
as a geperal maxim. But let it not be loft in ge-
neralities. We have an application quite ready.
for it. Does General Borapmers think that this
fine fentence of his has no application_ to the
Swifs ? If there be 44 a family or a party:there,"
who have been bafe enough to call in ha aid, do
they not deferve the malediction of their-country,
folly as much as the Quifir and the *emu, who
brought in PHILIP 11. to fettle their 66 family"
quarrels
Although the accounts from Switzerland are
very vague, it appears that French troops have
entered all the acceffible points of Switzerland;
doubts remain how far the Diet of Schwitz hat
diffolved itfelf. We are inclined to think, that in
relation to the objeds for which it was formed,
previous to the avowed aggreffion and actual inva-
lion by the Confular troops, the Diet is diffolved.
It would be in vain to continue affembled for the
purpofe of peaceably fettling a Government, when
the country is feized by a foreign enemy. Legit-
' lation is for the moment abandoned ; but there is
reafon to think that the Democratic Cantons are
meditating refiffance. Thiy certainly have not
fubmitted, as the Canton of Berne ; they maintain
a fullen dignity, and feem to yield to fate rather
than to crouch before tyranny. Upon this occa-
lion we cannot but remind all Governments of the
important lefron which the prefent occurrences in
Switzerland afford. In the fmaller, or Democra-
tic Cantons, where the whole people (hared in
political privileges, the ardour of patriotifm, the
hatred of a foreign yoke, are univerfal. In the
Ariflocratic Cantons, the people, feeling lets in-
tereff in their country and its independence, have
with lets reluctance fubmitted. They wifhed in-
dependence, but . hey had not the fame energy of
chara&er and motive of intereft to defend it. Its
the terrible day of invafion, let it be remembered
that a country can only be preferved by men who
(hare its full protection, and a Conftitution upheld
by thole who are admitted to its political privileges.
The Senate, or French Government at Berne,
has iffued a Decree about fending Deputies to
Paris.' It requires all the Cantons to fend De-
puties ; and it is liberal fo far as it authorifes the
Communes or fmaller Diftridts to fend Deputies,
at their own expence, to fpeak their particular

fentiments.
Although the French troops have entered the
open country, they have not attempted to enter
the mountainous diaries where they may be oppcf-
ed. We arc extremely anxious to know what are
the real intentions of the patriots of Schwitz,thi,
and Underwald. They might fell their Country
dearly, but we tremble to think what might
