We do not learn that M. Andre,li Is

Whatever may be the csuie OF delay in ms

Yesterday we received the Moni'eur OF
Of the 10Th iut. 1t is principally h!.e1
with continuation Of the official details
of the proceedings of the D;puta'ion CT
the Empire at Ra,ilbon, the fabNancc ct
which has been anticipated by other pa
pcrs. There is alto an account OF tie
celebration of Fetc at Turin on the 10th
September, in honor of the union OF Pied
mont with the French Republic. The
Moniteur cautioully avoids communicat-
ing any intelligence f'om Switzerland.
1t is intended by the gove'nmcot OF
the Batavian Republic TO prepare the port
of l1elvoetGuys Tor the reception OF large
veGels, that it may ferve inltead OF the
Road of the TeAel, aad the Vile, which is
not 70 fate as the Ernsr, for navigation.

The affairs of Switzerland have reached
a criGs which may decide the fate Of that
unhoppy country. The 1elvesic army
having been completely defeated on the
cd init. by the patriots before Avrenches,
were compelled to retreat in great d;forder
to Mordon. Lau(anne was 10 consequence
thrown into the greatelt alarm, & nothing
leis was talked of than lhs retreat OF the
government to Geneva, when on ludden,
the next morning, the French Adjutant-
General Rapp, entered Laulannc, with the
procla..ia,i,n of the FirR Conlul, with
which he repaired to the Senate, accomfa.i-
ed by Verninac, the French Min;Iter. The
Senate, after hearing the proclamation :ca,!,
with bafensfs & mearnefs peculiar to it
feif, but which might have been expected
from its previous conduit, decreed, that
it received with gratitude that new teGi-
mony of the benevo.ence of the Firf Cen
ful towards the Helvetic people. That
an expiring falion ihould receive with
gratitude a mesiure which appeared to it
calculated to refore its loft power, may
eaGly be conceived but that it lhould dare
to denominate fueh an outrage upon hu-
manity and juitice an act of benes o;ence
towards tie Helvetic people, adds another
inGance to the number which have already
been evinced in other countries, OF the
bl;adneis Of petty perfooal intereR, and
the s;trcci,y of unp,inciPled ambition.
Rapp, having fulfilled his commidion at
La2ianne, Immediately let off for Btrns,
20 make the fame communication TO the
parrots in that city. 10 the mean time
the contederate1 patriots entered Moudon,
