ordered M. Joseph Schmid, of Yverdun, to quit the
Canton in the course of six weeks. M. Pestal••zzi, by his
urgent entreaties, has obtained the prolongation of the
joie till the Ist of March. This indulgence has been
granted out of particular regard for the venerable

founder of the Institution at Yverdun. The Council of
State- has addressed to him a remarkable rescript,

in his answer, declared that he was going immediately
to quit the Canton, with his friend Schmid; and that
he intended to go to Paris, and there found an institution.
