SWITZERLAND.

LAUSANNE, DECEMBER 4.

A Project, in six Articles, is.at present under dis-
cussion at Geneva, the object of which is to restore
the fortifications of that city, and, at the same time,
to extend them to the right baNk of the Rhine.—
The expense is estimated at about 1,600,000 francs.
If this plan is adopted, Geneva will become the key
of the Simplon on the side of France. and an import-
, wat fife de be
on both banks of the Nothing
will then be wanting but to provide for the guarding
of the Simplon on the side of Lombardy, by fortify-
ing Brie, Sion, or some other town situated in the
Upper Vallais.
From a Report made to a Society of Physicians at
Zurich by one of the members, it appears, that in the
course of the year 1820, there have been received in
the hospitals of the Canton eighty lunatics more than
in the preceding year, and that all the:;e unfortunate
persons owe'the loss of their reason to the fatal int
ence of the mystic sects which are becoming so nu-
merous in the Canton of Zui ich.

LISBO V PAPERS.

LISBON, DECEMBER 4.
PROCEEDINGS or THE CORTES.

M. FRLGUEIRAS, after a few remarks, said he had
received dispatches from Pernambuco, which 1k ere
read. They contained a long account of all the events
in that Province, signed by all the Members of the
Government, which is called the ConAitutional Go-
verning Junta, and of which Luiz do Diego Barreto is
the President, to whom the Junta gives the highest
praise, calling him the saviour of that country. It
was accompanied by above forty documents.

M. FELGUEIIIAS said lie had received other dis-
patches, which he supposed to be from Goianna, but
that as they were directed " To the Curtes and w
the King," he had not opened them.
It was resolved to open them, and they were found
to be in fact from the Government of Goianna,
giving an account of all that has passed in contra?.
diction to the preceding statement, calling Luiz do
Riego the greatest of despots. It was accompanied
by above Sitydocuments.
These and other papers on the same subject sae
referred to the Committee of the Constitution.

M. CASTELLO BRANCO said, he had much authentic
information on this subject, which he would bring
forward when it came under discussion. He desired
that the Committee might make its report as soon as
possible, it being necessary that the vessels going to
Rio Janeiro with troops, and which were to touch at'
Pernambuco, ehould carry out orders on the subject.
M. BoRCES (7A avctito presented some papers re-
lative to the Conde de Palmella. He gave an ac-
count of his pi etensions, of the doubts of the Govern-
ment, &c. and said that the Members of the Corn-
' mittec were all of different opinions ; that his own
was, that considering the preses:t state of things, he
should be rertnittedto come to Lisbon, or go to his
estates, or wherever he thought: proper, not out of
the kingdom.
M. PcniztaA Bo CArmo thogght that the Count
should be allowed to go wherever he pleased.
M. CASTELLO BRANCO said, that since t!:o resolu-

tion which the Cortes had adopte.l respecting the
Conde dos Arens, he had change 3 his opinion, and
now thought that both he and all those who, by the
Decree of the 3d of July, %vete out of the capital,'
and ten leagues from the sca coaq, ought to receive
the same favour, that is, permission to go where
they please. He concluded by drawing a parallel
between the circumstances of the Conde de Palmelie,
and of the Conde dos Amos.

After some farther debate, k was resolved not to
grant the permission desired,
DEC. 6.—The Diarie of to-day contains an order
from his Majesty, to fulfil a resolution of the Cartes,
to restore the Conde dos Arces to his entire liberty,
it appearing that the supposed conspiracy, imputed
to the Count by the Junta of Bahia, was entirely dis-
proved by the documents produced by the Count,
and by the fact that the Junta had stated that letters
had been received frpm Rio, from persons whom it
did rot name, affirming that the Conde came as a
prisoner on board of the bi ig Treze de Maio, whereas
it was evidently proved that he came to Portugal with
his daughter, with the permission of the Prince Royal.

A letter from Rotterdam,
.dated Dec. 12, says
eg We have received a private letter from Permits.
buco.of the 16th of October, with the news that all
hostilities between the Portuguese and the Brazilians
have entirely ceased, and that the two parties had
made peace.a week before, and resolved to leave it
to the Cones at Lisbon to conclude their diffet ences."

Letters from the Vistula, of a late date, say that
the movements of the Persians seem to be con-
nected with a general plan of attack, which has been
formed against the Porte, and in witch none of the
possible objects has been overlooked. The Crown
Prince of Persia, who has made himself quite inde-
pendent of the Schah, his father, is recognized as
Sovereign of the finest and tidiest half of Persia,
commands a considerable part of the Persian army,
and is, as it is believed, provided, with respect to his
conquests, with ail the guarantees that can be desired
By these operations of the Persian!, all the Asiatic ca-
ravans are intercepted in their way to Constantinople,.
which must have a great influence, both on the pro-
visioning of the capital, and on the revenue of the
State. These extensive Asiatic plains are
eanraeblperieicinkieltyo
calculated for the 'Persian Prince to display the whole
strength of his excellent cavah y,
destroy, in a few actions, tio.e swarms of infantry,
composed of peasantry and artisan!, hastily collected.
It is thought that new movements of the Wechabites
are relied upon, so that the Porte finds itself attacked
on all sides it is supposed that the English are much
slarmid for their Northern Indian' Provinces.
