HELVETIC REPUBLIC.

.
• = . rime stelae. .
Colonel Barr has traverfed Switzerland : he
has found the towns and. villages a prey to misfor. ,
tunes—the difmal' attendants. of civil war. His
prefence calmed every alarnr. The bodies am-
bled have been difpetfed.
The tit and 2a Helvetic demi-brigades are on j
their March to form the garrifon qlour city. The
arrival-of the Senate' is announced for the day after
to-morrow. Deputies &mil all parts of Switzerland 1,
are about to proceed to Paris. •
We begin to hope that our Revolution, which
has been continued and renewed annually for eight
Tears; is qpproachiag its end. Let us at length
, enjoy every thing good and ufeful it promifed; and
let the Government nndet;which we are dellined
to live; not Ggnalifc the triumph of any party,
and be confecrated by tI4 union of all its citizens.
Weak as we are in conspr.rifon of the furround.
ing.Powers, can we pretend to an honourable in-
dependence, a peaceful neutrality, if we Continuo
divided !
. .
The fentiments .of the whole Helvetic peOple
are united in thefe three wiThes :

• *tit. AConftitution in which the oligarchy may
never re-appear; and which at the-fame time may
edam the equality of the citizen the equality of
our eighteen Cantons--the equality of the five =-
I,
arum 'which .the -clliferent -*tin of Helvetia
profits ! '
ad. A ConaitutiOn fujie4l-st6 the .diverfity and
inequalities of our territory, by•which Underwald,
Berne, LadTanne,
,and Bale, may 11e governed ac-
cording to the local circumftances, languages* and
manners peculiar to them.
In the'taft place our third with, no It.fs riattnel
than the other two is, to fee maintained, in th4ir
whole integrity our ancient relations with the
French*people and the met' who are in the pay cif
foreign powers deprived of all their.influence. Io
the borom even of a general conflAgrati.on. i.s real
interell is to remain neuter : thii will never he
that of a Bachman and a Vatteville; who fine their
infartcy have revved thole powers, which are ene-
mies to France. If war should again be kindled..
up in Europe; and if, as was the cafe with the
KING of SAKDINIA and the Republic of Venice,
neutra:ity thould to us become. impoffible ; the
alliance of France -would be our only With, uur
jufielt and dearet interea. •
There is iv* one of us who does Clot think the
Swift united to the French, will. always defend
with glory our mguntains, and render impenetra-
ble to the encm,y our plains and' our large towns,
fuch as Zurich, Berne, Soleure, Fril)ourg, Bale,
and Laufanne.
In a word, there is not one of us who is not
fenfible that our political fyllem ought to be that
of onr fathers, who, through a love for liberty and
for their country,were always intimately conneaed
with France. •

• If any man, born in our territoriet, does not
participate with us in -this opinion, he does not
think like a real Swifs. He abandons himfelf
blindly to Jealous, foreign to the iattitall of his
•
country.. •

-445 among the cantons, the independence of Hel-
vetia, and concert with' the French. Republie.—

" Penetrated with eternal gratitude, the Swift Nation will
do its endeavour to defrxve the good will Of the French Go-

upon it by the define of cultivating good neighbourhood.
