SCHAFFHAUSEN, JANUARY 21.

AU the Cantons interested in the capitulations of the
Swiss Regiments in the service of the Netherlands, have
now ratified the Convention relative to the 31st Regi.
ment, respecting which there have been such long ne-
gociations with Count Licderke, Minister of the Nether-
lands to the Swiss Confederation.

New York Papers of the 18th January, with other
Journals from various parts of the United States, reached
us this morning. The very mention of a coalition be-
tween this country and the United States still continua
to excite the utmost intetest, and the result of the motion
in Congress, calling en the PRESIDENT to lay before the
House any information in his possession on the subject,
is looked for with the utmost impatience. The Mercan-
tile Advertiser of the 12th ult. states, that Mr. Rusa
had several interviews with Mr. Secretary CANNING,
and that the latter wished to ascertain the views of the
American Government, but that the Ambassador could
not give a decisive answer.

A Richmond Paper contains accounts from Deme-
rara, but not so late by one-and-twenty days as the in-
telligence given in a preceding column.
