PARIS, DECEMLER aB.

HELVETIC CONSULTA AT PARIS.

As loon as the Sitting was opened, the Deputa-
tion fent to have an audience of the FOUT CON
sot. at St. Cloud, reported the particulars of the
conference with which obey had been honoured
—The following is the fubftance of BONAPARTeS
addrefs to them :
4. The more I learn of your country, laid 80.
sasairs, fo much the more am I convinced that
it cannot, with advantage, have more than a Engle
government. By the reprefentative fyftem the
Democratic Cantons would be fubjefted to the ne-
ceffity of payments to which they are unaccufi
tomed. The defcendants of William Tell mull
know neither the reftraint of chains, nor the pay-
ment of imports. But, on the other hand. for
Berne, and the other great Cantons, the attempt
at pure democracy were abfurd. Your different
Cantons mull of neceffity have diverfities of Con
ftitutional arrangement. With three leading ex-
ceptions, you mull be roeflablifhed nearly in the
fame political order in which you were before.—
The inequality of rights which fubfifted among
the old Cantons; the relations between fovercign
and fubi.dt (taus ; with the prerogatives of the
Patrician families. mutt be abolifhed for ever.—
Under thefe corretlions of the Cionftitutions of the
Cantons, Switzerland may poffefs a Federative
Government of effetlive vigour.
For the maintenance of an independent cen-
tral Government, your country is, by the invin-
cible parfimony of nature, too pcor. Your
Government cannot be other than one which may
be fupported without a burtheofome civil lift.—
You cannot now aft that part among the Great
Powers of Europe to which you were formerly
not unequal, when thofe which now conftitute the
Great Powers were fubdivided into a multitude of
petty fives. Your real force would be enfeebled,
your prefent militia would be loft by the inllitn.
tion of a ftanding army. You might, indeed,
become great by forming two departments of
France. But from France you are feparated, by
the eternal indeftruetible barriers of nature. Be-
tween two Powers,betwcen which there is a balance
of force and influence, you are fate. Preferve your'
neutrality, your laws, your political tranquillity,
your good morals; and your fortune cannot but
be happy. Confederative government enfeebles
great Rates; but. by concentrating, invigorates
the energies of thofe which are (mall. Befides,
whom would you place at the head of your -.entral
government ? If feveral perfons, would there
not be a divition of their opinions and interefts ?
one man, who is there among you whom
you would all be willing to invert with the ne•
celfary confidence and authority ? I, insetted as I
am, by the confidence of a great nation, with
the power of its fupreme magiftracy, could not'
undertake to govern you. Should you chufe a
native of Zurich, the inhabitants of Berne would
be diffatisfied. By the choice of a Catholic, of
fence would be given to the Proteflants. By the
refloration of the Government of the Cantons you
may become happier than by any merely central
Government. During the esillence of one tingle
Government for all Sw;tzerland, what have von
known but inceEnt and unavailing changes? Laft
year you drove .!..ray a Diet legitimaty nomi-
nated by the people. Of your latt Conttitution I
cannot approve ; a centr..l government cannot be
maintained anicntr, you, without the pretence of
French troops. Your prefect Government knows
a. by expel-Ll:cc. Its members frolic the voice
of patri, tifrn, crnEnting that the French troops
flr)uld be ; but their pro-knee in that
content was i:ot. juti .le.l by the events which f
lowcd. As -1 Cairo, I c innot but :t2cl
