firanger to his knowledge, his views, and his at-
tachments.

The fete given to Madam BONAPARTE was ex-
ceedingly brilliant. A deputation of the Lyon-

from the Lion's foot. General joy was excited by

digious concourfe of fpeilators, and particularly

ranged, except one diflria bordering on Oberland,
and which will be united to the Canton of Berne,
as Oberland, tince the laft conftitution was put
in execution, will be united either to the depart':
meat of Mount Blanc, or to Piedmont.

In regard to the Frickthal, its union to Switzer-
land will experience no difficulty, that country
having been formally ceded to France by the treaty
of Luneville ; France will cede it to the Helvetic
republic as a compenfation for the cedion of the
Valais.
