ZURICH, Fri. is but too true that the
abolition of the tithes was one of the firft difafters
of our revolution, and that our inftigators begun
with this aci of injoilice, and would recommence
with it once more. But if our Government, fince
the 7th of Auguft, had maintained the meafures
then preferibed it by the general welfare and pref.
Ping neceffity, tb dangerous a weapon would long
linee have been wreitcd nut of the hands of the
faaious.—lt is button true that our Prete& found
himfelf in the melancholy neeeflity of difmiffing
feveral public officers, who were, more or lets, pi-
tied by the difcontented, fince they participated
in their fentiments and fames of anarchy. But
it is ridiculous to aferibe the tumults and diforders
to there difmiftions, as they would have been (till
more alarming had there men continued in the ex-
ereife of their funaions.—lt is but too true that
the Deputies of the three diftrias repaired to
Berne, to complain of what was termed ads of
violence in the Prefea ; that they infifted anew on
the ranfom, or rather the annihilation of the
tythes ; that they demanded the liberation of Ci•
tizen Su LZIER and his adherents, without bail even;
but they have already been refuted by feveral of
the places of which they named themfelves the
deputies ; and their demand is the more injudi-
cious, as SULZER is no longer detained by an ex-
traordinary authority, his procefs now depending
on his natural judges, the Tribunal of the Canton.
Certain it is, that we do not yet enjoy that trin-
quillity which an eftablithed government affords ;
bet it is no lefs true, that the diforders which have
place among us, are confiderably magnified
out of our canton. If no one came forward to
feek to renew them, they would foon vanifh.—
The greateft part of the tythes is already paid ;
and this would have been done much fooner, and
with more tranquillity, if the fpirit of patty,
difappointed ambition, and pretended poverty of
not, by its infinuations, ren-
Id and the credulous unrea-
