therefore, to compensate for the advantages that those
employed by Prance will enjoy over those by Spain,
higher pay must be given. A farther difficulty has been
started by she Geiseral. There remain twenty-eight
millions of riala due to the Swiss who served in the
'last war. How is this sum to be paid ? and what secs•
rity that the like shall not occur again ? The contract-
, ing pasties may probably find means to contract the
first. between themselves ; but as ta the second, the mere
vapouriag about Spanish honour, and a shrug of the
shoulders, will hardly be sufficient.
The Minister of Grase and Justice is as much beset
as he of War, by claimants of honoers, and crosses, and
distinctions, and moreover occupied with the bill of
amnesty, which is anxiously desired, as every one will
then know his destiny. It should come it in a few
days, prohabli on the Queen's birth day, when she
completes her twentieth year. Report is, thatexceptint
the authors of the Revolution, who would be hanged if
caught, and the banishment from Court of a portion of
Deputies and Members of the Corporation, the sew will
be permitted to return to their houses and families.
Hitherto all those employed .in the palace since the
arrival of the Regency have been paid up to the Slst
of August. A month's pay should be received this
month, leaving two in arrears, which is coming back to
the old system, and 'hews there is a want of money—.
or, perhaps, having more business to do, there is a
greater scope for bribery, which here is so rooted in,
that there is no rooting it out, and the clerks may dis-
pense with a portion of salary. But to keep the Go-
vernment going in the state it now is, a vast deal is not
required. The hard cash of Guebhard's Loan will about
pay off, in their way at least, the extinguishing army.
Nothing more will be required on that scare, as there
will be no half-pay, and it is not meant to re-create it
immediately, the greatest charge upon the Treasury
will be accordingly for the present, and for some time
to come, done away. The Royal Family and household,
the salaries to. Ministers, Ambassadors, 'Secretaries;
pensions to those who have signalized themselves in
favour of die Restoration, and the other usual Govern•
ment expenses, ought to be defrayed by the Customs,
which—the old tariff being revived, and the vigilance
apparent in same—must produce a good supply. The
taxes paid by house proprietors, and the aid from the
Clergy, the rents of the Crown lands and other pro-
perty, vacant Bishopricks, Lotteries, dues 91 receiving
Tides, &c. and a light contribution—and liiht it must
be, on the principal zowns. If, however, it be intended
to create a navy immediately, and to pursue the at-
tempt of the reconquest of the Americas (for that they
think and consult about the reunion is certain enough),
they will then find themselves in inextricable difficulties,
be ruined in every thing, and achieve nothing.
. To the Minister of State. M. Saes, the Bishops,
Priests, Canons, and the Friars, pay the-most unre-
mitting and assiduous attention. This Minister must
be overloaded
. with the weight of business. As the first
of them, and President of their Council, be mast ex-
amine into and determine upoli everything, previous to
being laid' before the Xing. It procures him, however,
an advantage which the Minister before him did' not
enjoy, it puts him current with all the affeltv of the
State. Formerly, each, Minister transacted hisbosiness
separately with the King, attd was not accountable to
the rest. But the principal object which occupies his
attention, and indeed of them all, is the ;Lille of the
Americas ; they are persuaded that the news of the re-
storation of the Kings absolute Government will have a
most favourable effect. They calculate On the divided
,state of parties, a natural desire of repose, and are par-
ticularly sanguine as to the clergy and friars of Mexico
(that country is their first aim), being able to effect a
counter-revolution there. I understand the instructions
at Seville were directed principally to these bodies, and
it will depend op-the-replies from thence, whether the
talked-of Congress will assemble, or whether the sub-
ject of Spanish. America shall form part of the delibera-
tions. The Bishop of Mexico has long conferences with
M. Sin; and it most be recollected that with the Con-
stitutional liberty, the Inquisition still maintained its
od ; that most of the convents are of the orders of
alai, and acknowledged the superiors here, from whets
they receive their rules and regulations ; that the opposi-
tion to the Constitution. here was begun, increased,
and carried on by the Church; and that there, they
conceive, It may be more easily brought about in the
same manner. Russians, French, and Spaniards, are
excessively exasperated at British Comnussioners and
Consuls being sent out—the golden fruit seems snatched
away, when they considered themselves within its reach.
Mr. Canning was beforehand; he has secured for his
country the advantages which the others had promised
to themselves out of the war, without a single sacrifice.
They have been fighting anipaying their money for him.

PIEDMONTESe RILFROXIS.— The sacred rights of hos-
pitality ought to be respected by all nations. This duty
seems recently, however. to have been forgotten by the
' Swiss Cantons. The Directory invited the Cantons to
banish strangers suspected of being proscribed in their
own countlwy • and though this invitation went beyond
the bounds of the federal power, it has bean complied
irk)). The Government of the Canton Grisons,_ has
banished the- Piedmontese refugees ; the Pays de Vaud
has excluded Mr. Comte from its territory ; and if this
unjust measure has appeared extraordinary, the reasons
by which it was to be justified are still more extraordi-
nary. They amount merely to this—Switzerland is in-
debted for her civii liberty to the Sovereigns of Europe
guaranteeing her neutrality, and she is therefore Wand
to respect their wishes. The same demand now made
to Switzerland, is similar to that made by thi Govern-
Meat or Milan in 1809, and as that.was acceded to, so
ought tins to be. I's not this confbsslng that the'object
of the contest in 1814 was not to destroy the Gores-
ment of thattiose, bat to take its place? The irrhabi-
tants of Switzerland, the successors of William Tell,
have closed their gates against the Italians who fought
for liberty; Republics reuse an asylum` to those Who
are proscribed, out of respect to Governmentshlo wheats
those proscribed people owe no obedience. At the same
time we see men who have most profited by hospitalityy,
write with the greatest bitterness to deprive their ene-
mies of the same benefit.-Franck Payer.
