each Canton separately, and none of the Cantons
being able to furnish a whole regiment, they must
settle their respective quotas by new treaties among
themselves ; 2dly, France and Holland are unwilling
to admit, as formerly, foreigners to the amount ot
one-third into the regiments to be furnished ;—the
number of men demanded must be found amane the
natives alone, which is a difficult, matter, since the
progress which apiculture and manufactures have
made in Switzerland, daring the last twenty years,
, had rendered recruits much more scarce than they
formerly were.
The hale Council of the Canton de Vaud has an-
swered the Proclamation of the Council of War of
Berne. In this reply are the fallowing paseages :
• " It is raise that, preparations for cff:msive war
against Barite are making in the Canton of Vaud.—
For more than six weeks past the whole of the mili-
tary that we have on foot consists of two COMPAhieS)
. one of infantry, which is treieing at Lausanne, and the
other of artillery, ahich is training :it Merges. Surely
these are not measures of aggression. •
4, The Canton of Vaud might, with far greater
justice, conceive jealousy cn accotrnt of the great
movements which for some time have been making
in .and about Berne, and which have converted that
city into a real place of war.
•
I 4, The Canton of Vaud has no intention of attack-
ing any one. ' It merely requires that no encroache
ments be made upon its independence ; but, if at..
tacked, it will know how to defend itself ; and, as well
as Berne, it throws, beforehand, all responsibility On
those who shall first kindle the •torch of civil war."
•It seems that the Allied Powers are about to inter-
fere in this quarrel ; and that they have resolved to
pacify the discordant Cantons by force, if they cannot
do it by remonstrances and exhortations. The Mini-.
stets of Ruisia, Austria, and England, have addressed
a very strong Note to the Diet on the subject, in which
they plainly threaten Switzerland with an Armed
Mediation of the great Powers. Already are voices'
heard in Germany, proposing the incorporation oft
Switzerland with the Germanic 'Body, of which it
formed a part till the 15th century.

BANKS OF THE ELBE, AUG. 19.
We learn from Hamburgh, that many citizens of
that city having began to repair their demolished
houses, the Russian Commandant informed them that
they ought to suspend their operations; at'least that
they should consent to demolish, at their own charge,
their new !Muses at the first requisition. This dispo-
sition Ms given rise to rumours that the fortifications
of .Hernburgh will be preserved, which displeases
many of the inhabitano,
RAO*ADT, AUG. 29.
We are assured generally, that Bavaria will obtain
• the left bank of the Rhine to the junction of the Mo-
. selje. It is iii contemplation to fortify the city of
Spire, to oppose the fortress of Landau. The. Gar.
mans still desire the establishment of other fortresses,
along the Rhine, but it will be difficult to meet the
very heavy expenses equal to what the project will ne-
ceasarily occasion.

Th-y state, that the Electorate ef Hesse is divided
into two parties, the Westphalien and the German
the first, it is said, had for sotae time obtained a great
preponderance in the military, and it is particularly
favoured by the Pt ince.
Some German States continue to complain of the

PRIVATE LETTER.
• PARIS' AUGUST 31.
U Weetrrived•iii the midst of gaiety, being the day
of the Fete in honour of 'the King ; bet, having to
seek lodgings, we saw no part of the amusements till
the evening, when the illuminations and fireworks
weee very fine—the latter, however, did not equal
", • those in St. James's Palk. • The illuminatiotss are in
a different stile from our's, haviug no lamps, but small
eay.hen vessels with a large wick—they have a very
liiiint effect.• Our apartments were obtained with
difficulty, and are most superbly fitted up with
vdvetand ot hirniture, festooned with silk cads
and tassels in the highest taste, elegant lookingeelesses
to the.ciefipgs, all the coruices superbly gilt, the ta.
bids with marble slabs, the couches, chairs, candela.
bras, &c. &c. all magnificent. We went to the
Palace Royal yesterday to dine, and in the evening •
- to a Coffee, in the same place, to eat ice, and you
• would have been amused to see the Lady who keeps
• it-eohe was seated at a fine brass table, with every
thing about her gold, a gilt bell on the table, gold
Bower stands on each side, a large glass behind her,
with glass shelves set out with plate, and a satin dra-
pery atteterawittogitr ornaments-elhis was eonthnted
round the room, which was lined with looking-glasses
separated by gilt coelanipee The Lady herself was
decorated with chalahaial and pearl ear-rings, neck-
lace, and comb.;, she bad a crimson velvet foot-stool,
and sat in this style keeping the book and taking the
m mey. lam told she is sometime; much more au-
perbly dressed. The room was brilliantly illumi-
nated, and it altogether had the air of enchantment,
like one of the fanciful apartments we read of in
the Eastern 'Pales.
" We had a very pleasant journey here ; the coun-
try:see passed through wile beautiful, and the roads
liner than any I ever saw, ;more like the avenue to ii
seat then a public road : apple and walnut trees
planted regui,tiy on eech side, no hedges, but the.
core and yeses growing Close to the road ; most of
the.folls richly cultivated. We 'were much pleased
with Roden, and should 'tette remained there a little
time, had
.we nut wished tcr.get to Ellis tor the Fete.
We reached Cheitres on Suuday, jusein tittle to see
the lete there in henottr ot the Xing also: indeed, it
appears to have been general throughout Preece, as
we every where saw preparations. That at Chartres
was opt ‘e Boulevards, which are fine avenues ot
