TROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

&my, D,e nu nen 18.—We have received or
fin II news of the highen ;moot rano' fi ofn
All the Drputic., ha% log arrived in that city, were,
by a commillion of fin!. Senators, requened to
rueet on the loth of December, in the Paper Room
ut the Oilier of the Milliner for Foreign Affairs.
They met accordingly. BARTHELF MY, one of the
Senators cf the Commiffion, with Roux and ROE-
PENNI, its Sect etai ies,there communicated to them
.1 letter from the FIRST CONSUL, dated St. Cloud,
December to, and addreffed to the Deputies from
the Eighteen Cantons of Helvetia. The fubnance
of the letter here follows:

The prcfcnt crite-al fimation of Fie.lvetia demand: from al!
parties an entire factifice of their factious and frififh pat: one.
i 4r Fi- tt Uonful will fulfil his engagements, and reftore wan-
quiji!y to svenzerland. He expeds the Deputies to aid his in-
tentions. Switzerland is a count r y difting untied from all other;
by the pecurarity of its local circu:nftances. It is formed tor a
Federative Republic by the very hand of Nature. Circom-
fiances had there ellabliOnd fovereign States among where
;jell were dependent. Other circumitances have introduced
a g .ncr eqtAi:y of rights. There are in Switzerland both
pure democracies and governments engroßed by particular fa-
wilier, both cannot continue to fuhlilt together. The three

Caere—a general equality of rights among all thc Eighteen Can-
tons; ati entire renunciation of all 'Arittocratic family-rights;
a federative conformation in rcfpi et to each particular canton.
Mu t. thc cartons that' have been conitituted, the enurfe of the
central Government will be eafy. The revenue, the military
force, the political adminiftration, will be different in different
cantons. Switzerland has not hitherto had a ftanding army,
nor Antbaffaalors in ordinary to foreign powers. Commerce,
and a Government of a (mall expenditure, are the two things
of the chief importance to this country. The French and Italian
Republics cannot agree to the inltitution of a Government in
Switzerland, that might become either diredly or iodiredly
huftile to their interests. The infurgents have acted under the
influence of the enemies of France—they have infulted the
French nation—they have declared thentfelves 'plat an equa-
lity of rights. No party, and trait of all, that of the infurgents,
is to triumph in Switzerland. It is the duty of the French Go-
vernment to take car: that there mall not he formed on that
open frontier of the French Republic. a fyftem Millie to it.
A Government mull be eftablithed in Helvetia, loch as, in its
fpirit, may be always friendly to France. The Fiat agful
will take into due confideraton whatever plans Mall be corn-
nwnicatcd to Lim from the Deputies, whether individually or
After this letter was read, Citizen Bair sir v
fignified. that the FIRST CONSUL was ready to re-
ceive a deputation of five of the Deputies, to be
nominated by the Helvetian Ambaffador. Citizens
KUTTINIAN, MULLER FRIDBERCI, KUHN, RHEIN-
H4lO, and &Amy, were accordingly nominated.
They were to be prefented on the i tth or tath of
December. The Deputies in general have been
requefted, in the mean time, to cpmmunicate their
refpetlive plans to the Senatorial Commiffion.
The French and Helvetic troops of Soleure have
fuddenly marched for Laufanne and the other
towns of the Pays de Vaud. The caufe is not
known ; they are to be replaced by a battalion of
the to4th demi-brigade.
General Stains has arrived at Berne, to give
the General in Chief a circumftantial account of
the aeltial fituation of the Eaftern Cantons, which
he has travcrfcd in confequence of fuperior
or2crs.

ceived from our Delegates at Faris, is more and

and were received in the molt favourable manner.

They will employ themfelvcs fucceflivcly on the
Conititutions of the different Cantons.
