A seamaniavcd out Of the Nimble pack
et1boar, wrecked 90 the Praule Point, near
Plymouth, about a fortnight ago, 10 go
ing round TO Porrfmouth, has made de-
petition, that thele were on board her
lsyenty- one panengers; among whom
were the late matter Of his Majeay's fri
gate La Loire, his wife, and four child
rem; Lieutenant Kelly, of the Royal ma.
Wy, and number OF leamen's wives; he
intanlly jumped into the boat, and tried
10 fave tllemsfer of La Loire, who held
fat by one of the oars till quite eAhsuaed,
he Quilted his hold and funk. This man
was the only perlon iayed oug Of the above
number.
The aas paned by Bcnaparte III his
quality Of PRECEDENT of the Italian Repub-
he, daily teud TO lhew, that this new ltate
is con6iercd as merely province Of
France. as clofely connected with, and as
dependent upon, that country, as Ireland,
while governed by Viceroy, was upon
Great Bsitain. A decree which has late
ybeen iflued, annihilste. The independent
exiRence ofthe Italian Republic till more,
and places It's refources absolutely at the
difpofal OF the Fuk Magifraie OF France.
B1Daparfe here commands iuch prop0Trl-
on Of the army, aud warlike ammunition
found ia the Italian Republic, as may be
judged neceilary to be delivered up 70
France. The property in tEefe which Is
left to the Italian Republic is fixed at
4, 900, 900 of liyres (: whether France is
to reimburfc this fun, or whether pro-
portion OF their own property to this a.
mount is to be left In their hands is not
explained. The only Pretexs under which
this extraordinary grant can be made Is,
thss thele places were once competed by
France, that on giving them up to the !
Italian Republic, fhe only gave up what
portion of them Che chole; and thar ihe
can at any time reclaim her grant, OF what
part of il fuiis her. / is evident that

Tie affairs of Switzerland have return
ed 70 their ancient channel, with arspidi-
~ fcsrcely equa!led by the violence of
evolutionary explodon, tending to over

Old Federaiiye government, under which
the Swits 70 long enjoyed their primitive
lla1plicity Of manners, has every where

the otfsrring Of 70 many years Of boodihsd
and dfaifer. has fuddcniy dwin!led to
fey fugisiyea, throwing rheSllclyes Gu the
protection Of France. The conduct which
the Firf Coninl viii puifue on this occaG-
on now, admits no Gifpsre: Ii is true that
he once formally declared himielf the lup-
porter Of the new Helvetic Government
bot at that TINS his party afpca,sd the
decided majority. The faoe Of Affairs j.
now completely changed. The French
troops would have to cobtend wiki the
