An Ordottnance has. been issued by the Ring for
the institution of a Preparatory Military School,.for
the education, at the expense of the State, of the sons
of Officers without fortune, who }cave distinguished
themselves by their services. The number 'of these
free scholars is limited to 500; but authority is given
for the admission of 200 others at the expense of their
parents and families, who may wish them to partici.
pate in the benefits of the Institution. In electing to
the free scholarships, a preference is to'be given to
orphans whose fathers have been killed, or who have
died of wounds which they received in the service of
their country, . ti

The Diplomatic Note of the Ministers of Prance
and Austria, which has been transmitted by the Privy
Council of Berne to all the Cantonal Governments,
with the accompanying observations of the Council
on the Journils and Pamphlets, has been a subject of
deliberation in the Councils of most of the Cantons.
The desire strongly expressed by all the Swiss Go-
vennents is, that nothing should be published in these
countries which can give the least umbrage, or be
disagreeable to the Great Powers.
The answer of the Government of the Canton of
Tessin to the Directorial Canton, on this subject, his
been published—its sentiments are of particular ire-
portance, inasmuch as it is chiefly of the seditious
pamphlets, published in the Canton of Tessin, that
complaint has been made. "As soon," it states, "as
we perceived the liberty of the pri•ss had degenerates

into licentiousness, which was particidarlythe case
with respect to the writings issued from, the press of
the printer Laudi, at Mendrisio, we hastened to take
severe measures of police in regard to the press, and
gave orders to our executive agents to superintend
the execution of them with the utmost rigour. No
bookselling speCulation which could give cause of
offence, has been tolerated., We have caused the
printing-house of the said, Laudi to be shut np,
and expelled the man himself from the Ca stun.
—The Government of Ladtheriy has expressed, -in
the most flattering terhis, its entire satisfaction wisiti
our conduct. We do not believe that tlae only Jour-
sal which now exists amongst us, The aszetee de
, can be regarded as revolutionary. We
shall always make it our duty to'repress, with the
greatest rigour, all literary productions which can
furnish cause of complaint.

It is said that our Court and that of Prussia are
deliberating in concert upon the means of arresting
the abuse of the press which threatens Germany with
incalculable evils, if wise and efficacious measures
are not immediately taken to check'it.

A Letter from an Officer on board his MAJArris
snip AttesLont, at St. Kites, November 12 :
"Since my last teeter to you, we have wadergoese glint Tanis*
of weather, and pert out in the hurricane which took Sane (is
the 21st of October; and as many report's haie gone abroad frens
some of the West India Islands that we were lost, I embrace the'
first opportunity, by the sailing of isnerchant brig, the aseerly,
to tell you of our being safe and sound, as are all the ship; it
our squadron; but the Antelope has escaped in the most mica,
culnus manner. We were lying at St. Lucie quietly at anchor
only the day before the hurricane came on, and got under sail
for Barbadoes (as was our Intention) about seven in the morn-
ing of the 20th, it being fine weather. At twelve o'clock the
eight following, the oilicer of the watch bailed the master, and
said, the wind hail come r...und to • the north-west, which was '
very unusual in this entustry, S. here easterly winds prevail all the'
year through, and that the weather appeared to be coming oe
bad; the Admiral and Captain were immediately upon deck;
we took in all our sails except the fore-sail, which Was reefed;
got the top-gallant-masts upon deck, and prepared for the worst.
At three in the rtsbming of the 21st, it hie* very hard at west,
with tremendous heavy rein—at four still harder; took in our
fore call, and brought her to under a trysail double reefed: al,
seven yet battier, when a Wacame end washed away one of our
boats from the stern. When ten o'clock came it blew a parect
hurricane beyond what any of us had ever witnessed; however,
the ship 'lay very quiet, and behaved very well, but from the
,Ileavinew and quantity of rain, with the immenseforce of wind,
all our cabins were full- of wave. At noon the weather abated,
and at three in the afternoon it became quite moderate, wive
we set ma sails again. I call the escape of the Antelope mita-
cutout, ly..tise, if we had remained at tit. Lucie one night more,
not an atom of the Alp would. ever have been seen, nothini;
could have saved us from shipwreck. Every ship we left these
was lost. The town, barracks, and buildings of every kind were
blown down, At the village of Cross-islet only three houses are
left standing cart of about one hundred and fifty: the Governor
(Valor-General Scrums) was killed; also Marie Ilusorte, his
wife, and children, were killed, by being buried in the ruins of
their house blown its upon them. We visited Sc. Lucie again
sixteen days afterwards, and the scene was such as my pen can-
not describe: many of the inhabitants het their clothes, and
those who are sick are lying on the ground, with no other coo..
ing than the sky, gapped to sun andisaie. An officer in noe ef
the regiments, seeing the approacji of the hurricane, put a ftw
clothes into a small trunk, and hid it, as he thought, In a place 01
safety ; when the weather was over, be found his trot* had been
blown away, and the lid of it was fused More them Muff a mile'
off. The soldiers and others were obliged so Ile down on the
ground and bold themselves fast by the grass, or any thing they
could get to save themselves. This may appear strange, but so
it was; the power of the wind was excessive, The !sifted of Bt.
Luck has suffered the mast. The vessels were *Woo en &ere
at Barbartnes and Martinique, but no damage of say consequimm
to the houses or other buildiugs. Very fortunately an our bole
squadron; viz. Scamantler, Brazen, and (Anders, ate safe. The
Brazen lost her boat, but netting more. in sleet, the final lasi
of October will be felt and remembered by the illo. Lucien se
ton; as they het.'
