French Government, in future wars with
AuAria 10 en9avor TO make Switzerland
the fame military ffasion which he did
during the aft war. A ferries Ct events,
however, had prepared and paved the way
for that policy which can icarcely be ex.
peefsd to occur again. France had fnt
her defroyipg fend before p her re-
volusionary principle,
Fierce as ten furiss, terrible as hell,
And flock a dreadful dart
She had ALTO made ufe Of the intetyrsnnx
between the preliminaries OF Leoben, and
the renewal Of the war with Autrla, TO
overrun and lay waite tie Cantons. But
the fever and deliIium Of The revoluviona.
ry principle have abated, and Auffia will
f~carcely initatc her former iuplneneis and
indifference 10 the fate ofSwiFzerland.-
II may be, that acquiring a Gable form os
Government, and forgetting their o!d a.
nimoities to tse Critters Of Auaria in
thtir recent animcfities to the Critters of
France the Swiis may throw thsm!elyes
into the arms of the Cabinet Of Vienna.
TIE effect Of fuch a fep would be to
obliee France to maintain in that part Of
Switzerland which joins her territories,
and in ,hote departments Of France which
are on the frontiers towards Switzerland,
and which have no military potts, an Amy
of forty thouland men.
Whether it would be a wife policy in
Switzerland to form ar intimate connec-
ton with Auaria we fhall not pretend to
determine. That which would be defirea-
Bile to the latter, would perhaps, be detri-
mental to the former; for the contingui-
ty Of France affords her greater facilities
Of annoying tie Cantons.
But this melancholy truth we derive
from the contemplation ofthis unfortunate
country. By a prudent and patient regi-
mens Che may heal the deep wounds that
have been inflicted upon her lhe may re-
cover a part of her antient ~profperisy,
bot Che can hardly be fanguiHe enough to
expect that in any future war lhe viii be
permitted to reccur to that fyfem Of neu-
t~Ialisy which conflitnted her former happi-
neE and independence.

TIE Yice PrgfAnt.-We pre(umc that
the fubjea which is this evening allowed
to occupy the place ufually allotted to the
editorial remarks, will be read with de-
gree OF intereG not often excited. Asin-
troduaory to the letters from the Morn
ing Chronicle, and as being necefsry to
enable the reader rightly to underaand ard
apply their contents, we now give certain
pai4ages from the American Citizen. In
certain numbers Of that papsr Of October
9, the editor pompoaly gave this formal
"Notice."
"On Tusfday next we hall 6rove by

United States; and econd, that his late
letter to governor Bloomfield, is an auda-
