THE ARROW AND THE ROSE; with other Poems.
By WILLIAM KENNEDY, Author of "nth', rendes,"
" An Only Soo," &c.
Critics, and critics only, can do full justice to the spirit, the deep
feeling, the energy of this work. We madder Mr. Kennedy's love-
poetry some of the fast that ever was written. He is a poet, if thought,
feeling, aid originality can make ooe."—Literary Gazette.
"He is full of strong feelings and good conceptions. Manliness and
sincerity are the great characteristics of his style. He writes like a
man of good muscle ; be strikes his idea on the bead at once, and then
proceeds to another. He is no admirer of ornament. He uses
the good old language of England—thrilling as it is, and full of
home power—and his thoughts stand in it strong and sturdy, like
the bristles on the back of the fretted porcupine."—Edinhorgh Lite-
rary Journal.

SWITZERLAND.

LAUSANNE JAN. 10, 1831.--Luczawx.—The Consti-
tuent Assemby of this Canton, after having appointed a Com-
mittee to digest the project of the new Constitution, has
heard their Report, and adopted the greatest part of the ar-
tistes of the BiU. The majority of this Assembly is per-
fectly sound, and will put aside extremes of all kind.
SOLEUAZ.—The Grand Council has not only given the
greatest publicity to the debate on the new Constitution, but
has expressed a desire that popular Aseemblies should be
assembled, that the people may themselves closely examine
the Constitutional Charter; each parish will send Deputies
to those assemblies ; and Commissioners, sent by the Grand
Council, will give every explanation that might be asked on
the new Constitution.

GalsoNs.—The various Societies of Riflemen of the
Canton have volunteered their services, and the Grand
Council has accepted them with thanks. The government
of the canton has issued orders that all the militia of the
country should be ready as soon as they were called. All
the inhabitants of that canton are anxious to give proofs of
their patriotism.
GEwEv•, Jew. s.—The Ukase of the Emperor Nicho-
las, which has forbidden his subjects to reside in France,
has induced a great number of Russian families of the first
distinction to flock to our town ; among the number are se-
veral General Officers. It is said that M. Poses) di Borgo,
the Russian Ambassador to Paris, told his countrymen that
they ought to prefer Geneva to every other place ; there
you will see, observed he to them, a quiet people, enjoying
all the blessings of liberty. We really do not see why the
contemplation of such a state of things should be so parti-
cularly recommended to Russians.
BASLE, JAN. 4.—We expected that we might enjoy
some tranquillity, but our hope was deceived. The town is
in an uproar ; the peasants have met in great numbers at
Liestehl —they are armed, and appear to be decided on en-
tering the town, We expect them this very night. The
Grand Council is assembled ; the Municipal Body are now
deliberating what measures are to be taken. Four members
of the Council of State, who were deputed to them, could
obtain nothing from those mep, except that they wouli wait
twenty-four hours, at the end of which, if their demands for
the change of the Constitution were not.granted, they then
would attack the town. The gates' of the city are abut, and.
the artillery are featly to receive thei4.

**illation. Trees of liberty have been planted, and the,

SAOY,..—We hear that our Ring has declared to the
Amilisadors of Austria, that it was his iutention to maintain
the klbgdom of Piedmont in a s6te of neutrality. No move-
men+f troops have taken place in Savoy.
wE, Jn N. 11.—i forward you inclosed the Now-
'-
-Miser Vaudois of this day, which you will find interesting.
We from Lucerne that our Federal Colonel Guigner
(all Ilkdernl Colonels have the rank of Major-Generals) has
been .appointed by the Diet Commander-in-Chief of
all the troops of the Confederation. It is said, that
the dila command was offered to Gen. Roten, a Swiss

offices, who distinguished himself greatly in the Spanish war,
and of whom the following sketch may not be unacceptable
to con :—Gen. Roten is a native of the Canton of Vallais,
anoisl i j!forty-five yews of age ; his family Is one of the most
b Table in the land, and its members have been long dis-
tinguished for their patriotism and liberal mind. General
Roten began his military career in the Spanish. service, and
entered as an officer in the Walloon Guards; he became Co-

lone!, and was afterwards appointed Colonel of a Spanish''
regiment. General Roten fought in the war for the inde-
pendence of Spain against Napoleon, and was made a
prisoner; he refused all the brilliant offers of Napoleon,
who wished to attach him to his service ; he remained

faithful to his liberal opinions and to his conscience, and
declared that he never would fight but for the cause of
liberty and justice. In 1817, he was promoted by the
King to the rank of Brigade General. In 1820, in conse-
quence of his services, he was made Lieutenant-General
(General de Division) by the same Sovereign. In 1822 he
was appointed second in command in Catalonia, under his
friend, General -Don Francisco-Spos-y-Mina, who was
Governor of that province. Roten commanded at Barcelona
during the remarkable siege of that city, and covered him-
self with glory. General Roten is a man of extreme mo-
desty ; his simplicity of manners is such as forcibly to recall
to the mind our glorious ancestors—the Melchthal, the
Furst, and Stauffacher—to whom we are indebted for the
liberty we have so long enjoyed ; his kindness of heart,
his ardent and disinterested patriotism, are acknowledged
with enthusiasm in his Canton, where he is universallybeloved. Well, this General Roten has declined the com-
mand, and has begged that he may be allowed to serve under
the order of General Guigner, and we expect every instant to
hear that he has been appointed Lieutenant General. Colonel
Guigner has served in France, in the Swiss auxiliary troops,
and was lately at the head of the militiu of this Canton. He
had the chief command of two Fedetal camps ; is well known
by the troops of the Confederation, anti is greatly respected.
His character is firm and his patriotism universally acknow-
ledged. The choice of the Diet has given general satis-
faction.

Gamma, Jaw. 10.—Private letters inform us that a_
insurrection has taken place at Munich, in Bavaria; the
students of the University of that town have taken a con-
leuous part in it. Government has issued an order to close
University, and that in 24 hours all the students were to
leave the town.
BROWS JAN. 10.—It has been some time very evident
that the Government of Berne were not disposed to grant the
Constitution which was so generally called for by the peo-
ple ; petitions from all sides of the Canton Were sent to
.Berne; the reluctance of the Government being well known,
general assemblies of the people were held in various places
—impatience was at its height, and indignation knew no
bounds, when it was known that Government had taken into
their pay six hundred soldiers, lately returned from France.
The Council of State must yield to circumstances, and it ap-
pears at last disposed to do so, for a proclamation has just
been addressed to the people, promising that the Grand
Council should be assembled on the 13th instant ; it is de-
clared beforehand that it is the intention of Government to
grant a constitutional reform ; they deny the intention of
opposing the six hundred above-mentioned soldiers to the
people. In the meanwhile men of influence over the public
mind have hitherto succeeded in maintaining order ; the
time of adopting evasive measures is at an end ; Govern-
ment know the disposition of the nation, and we strongly
hope that the wished-for revolution will be operated without
bloodshed. .
Bssz.z, JAW. 9.—Our critical situation is still the same'
—the peasants attempted, yesterday, to cut off every com-
munication between the town and country—they have stop-
ped the diligence at Olten, and have seized the dispatches
which the Bernese Government sent to our Council of State.
At Liesthal they have established a temporary Provisionary
Government. The bridge over the Birse has been cut
down—all our suburbs have been barricaded—the streets
have been unpaved, and the stones carried into the houses.
We are ready to begin to fight; may, however, Heaven
grant that those dreadful consequences may be avoided by a
constitutional reform ! A proclamation has just been issued
by the Government, and it appears that it had a good effect
on the people.—Chronicle.

COURT OF KING—....'S BENCH, Jae. 19.
The Court took causes standing in the Crown paper.
THE LINO V. TKO rAIIIIII Or ..—.—...
A person having removed from one garish to another, took a house,
and being unable to pay the rent, applied to the parish he had left foe
salaams. They advanced him 61. The Magistrates held this to be a
fraud on the appellant parish, because the money had bees advanced to
enable the pauper to gain a new settlement, and they made an order to
that eflict. The Court of King's Basch was moved to quash the older;
but taking the view of the transaction which the Justices had taken,
they affirmed the order.
Other questions, relating to Parochial Settlements, occupied the at.
tendon of the Court until three o'clock, when the Judges went to the
Exchequer to determine points arising oat of Crown cases. Their de.
vortations were private in the Chief Baron's room.
