MA RC!! 6.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Modena
arrived the 3d of the month, from Vienna, at Mantua. At
Modena, General Zucchi was named Prefect General of
War, and Colonels Maranesi and Rossi, Brigadiers-General.
They will form two new regiments ; the cavalry and artil-
lery are already organised ; the first, according to the
Moniteur Bolonais, is composed of 300 cavaliers, and the
second has a park of artillery of four cannon. By news
from Bologna, of the 28th of February, a detachment of
troops under the command of the Chief of Battalion Piom-
bini, was in march for Rome. The cities of Fermo, of
Ascoli and Rieti, have been lately occupied by the troops
of the insurgents.
Rome, M A RCII 3.—The treaty concluded between the
Pontifical Government and the Court of Vienna against the
insurrection of Bologna, is no longer a mystery : I hasten
to transmit to you the principal dispositions.—The Emperor
of Germany will immediately furnish to Pope Gregory XVI.
20,000 men, infantry and cavalry, charged to bring back
under the pontifical dominion,the cities of the Roman states
which the popular movements have detached from the Holy
See. The Austrian troops will occupy, during five years,
the places,where their presence may be necessary to main.
rain peace. The Austrian General wbo has the command will
diminish the force of the army of occupation, when the insur-
gent cities shall have submitted, and tranquillity shall be
re-established.

The Apostolic chamber will pay to the Imperial govern-
ment, for all the expenses of the five years of occupation, four
millions of Roman crowns (20,500,000 fr.) This interven-
tion has for a long time been desired by the Court of
Vienna; it cannot then fail to hare a pretext to obtain it;
but to lull the French government, which is so easy, or to
frighten it by a phantom, which is more easy still, the
Councillors of the Pope relate the motive of the intervention
of Austria in the Roman States. First, From the Pope
being at once Pontiff and temporal sovereign, he offers a par-
ticular exception and a unique case ; 2d, Upon the ground that
as the Napoleons appear to be at the bead of the insurgents.
it is for the interest of Austria, as for all the Powers, and
especially for France, that that family should not form in
Italy a powerful party. M. Perrier, attached to the em-
bassy of France at the Holy See, left on the Ist of March,
to bring to Paris despatches from M. Bellocq, Charge d'Af-
(aims, which announce the Treaty concluded by the Pope.
with Austria.

VI EN XA , March 6.—The Archduke Maximilian of Aus-
tria-Este, arrived this morning, from the journey which he
had undertaken in Italy. It is announced that the troops
destined to re-establish order at Modena, entered yesterday,
or will enter to-day, in the Grand Duchy. —Gazettr

SWITZERLAND.

Asian, Nan' 10.—In speaking of the communication
of the French cabinet, relative to the neutrality of Switzer'
land, the Messages Suisse makes the following reflections :
—" Thus, we are very Swiss: we have returned to the point
at which we were in 1814 and in 1789, in spite of the Con'
gress of Vienna, and the most solemn assurances of neu-
trality from all the great powers of Europe. We can no
more confide in fine words, and our safety will be in OUT
arms. We must neither abandon the one nor the other
because, when war explodes, we shall abandon all. Ti.l
first French detachment, which tramples on the soil of Sivit-
serland, will draw the Austrians ; the first Austrians,
cross our frontiers, will in consequence cause the entry Of
the French. This is why bayonets bristle at the gates of
the country, his to repel force by force." which

A revolution has just burst out in a great part of the Canton
of Neuchatel. The people have rose en masse and planted
trees of liberty. The Bourgeois of the city have assembled,
and by a majority of 290 against 31, they have adopted the
replacing of the authorities by thirds every two years. They
have besides admitted that the initiative right belongs to all
the members of the legislative bodies ; that the acts of these
bodies shall be published, that the privileges shall be deter-
mined in a manner not to carry any blow at the political
existence, and to the rights of the Bourgeois and community
of the state ; in fact, that the censorship should be sup-
pressed.—Messager Suisse.
