LONDON, October -.

Pari, papars to the 10th Infant were
received yesterday. The interetting rate
ofaGairs in Switzerland has induced Us 10
make fome copious extracts; though We
COMETS that tho accounts from that quar-
tar, which We had 70 anxiouiiy expected,
throw no ligh, on the the poture OF at
fairs there, A MATS of ikiimliheS, iniar.
rettions and alarms, are refunded from
every quarter. The prociama ion OF Be-
napar,e had not yet reached there, by the
la;elt intelligence. 1t is probable that,
without ftrong French army 10 back II,
it will produce very little effect in the
2refent heated fate of mems minis. Ii
appears, however, that in every qnarter
where they come to An engagement, the
friends of freedom and inie, endencc TIL
umph.
The chief caufe Of difraaion proceeds
from the invetera,e animoGry between the
inhabitants Of The town. aud thotc CT the
country. This jealouiy, which hNs al
ready given iy mp,sms OF an eHpioton, IN
the Cartons oi B4ile, will, If cot iupprei-
led, prove a more terrible fee to Swifs
liberty than the aims Of Bonapar,c.
The Paris journals tend tic confirm the
intelligence We laid before the public YET
rerdsy from Gibraltar, relative to the
Neapcli,an troops being expected to take
pciitii0n cf Malta. Ii would itr!n that
the French are even now diligently con-
eertirg meafores for again attempting the
reduction OF Egypt. 1t was here alone
that BonaPss;e was bsffied ; that French
vanity was irretrievabiy mortified. The
ceiIion of TWO ports on the African coat TO
the French, ii true, is pregnant with con.
feauenccs, and leens TO juttiiy GU: retain
ing Malta, but the fame intelligence in.
forms Us that this latter place is evacuat-
ed. We cannot fuPPofe, however, that
France has any immediate intention OF at.
tempting an enterprise, which, in cir
cumttances more favourable to her, PRO
ducsd no ooniequence but defeat ard diff
grace. The foperiori,y o; cur naval pow
er mutt prevent her from forming any diff
tsnt enab,ili.ment, provided We bend all
our force TO prevent it. France Can, at
this moment, have no object III going TO
war with Us. Ii would only Prove the
deRrution of her infant commerce, which
fl,e cheriISs with 70 much attention. She
would even maze facrifces to maintain
The peace, and il cannot be doubted, thar
as'gorous interference on our var, would
produce an alteration in her me4.urcs. both
with regard to Germany. S"iIzeTiand,
and Egypt.

penGties. n the competition Of fociety, The
harmony Of The ingredients is ail-important and
whsdoever tends TO a dlcordant intermixture
mutt have an injurious tendency.
The United States have already felt the evils
ct Incorporating large number OF foreigners,
into their national alals it has ferved very
much TO divide the community and to diftraa
our councils, by promoting in different clahes
different predictions in favor of particular for.
eign nations. and antipathies againa Others. 1t
has been often likely to compromit the ntereas
Of our own country in favor Of another. In
times of great public danger there is always a
numerous body of men, of whom there may
be jult grounds of diltrna the fufpicion alone
weakens the ftrength of the nation, but their
force may be actually employed in afifing an
invader.
In the infancy of the country, with bound
lefs waite to people, it was polite TO give "a
cility to naturalization but our fituation IS
changed. Ii appears from the laf Genius, that
we have increaled about one third in ten years
sfter allowing for what we have gained from a.
broad, il viii be quite apparent that the natural
Progrsfs Of our own population is efficiently
rapid for ltreDgth, fecuTity and fettlemeht. BY
what has been laid, it Is not neant to contend for
a total prohibition of the right of ci,izsnihip to
R'angers, nor even for the very long relide1ce
which is now prerequisite 70 naturalization,
ana hich ofiiielf, goes far towards denial of
that privilege. The prsient law was merely
temporary meafure adopted uEder peculiar cir
cunttances and perhaps demands reviiion. But
there IS wide difference between cloGng the
door altogether and throwingit entirely open
between poRponement of fourteen years and
an immediate adminiou TO all the rights Of cit-
zenfhip. Some reafonable term ought TO be
allowed 10 enable aliens to rid OF foreign,
and acquire American attachments to learn
abe principles and irnbibe the fpirit of our gov.
eminent and 10 admit Of at leaf probability
OF their feeling real in,efeii in our affairs. A
reldense OF at lear years ought 10 be reqnirs

If the rights of naturalization may be com
Tnun'cated by parts, and il is not perceived why
they may not, thofe peculiar to the conducting
Of buGGels and the acquGtion Of property, might
with piopriety be At ence conferred, upon receiv-
ing proof, by certain rrefcribed f5lemnilie,, Of

political privileges to the ultimate term. To ad

oitizens, the moment theYPut foot 10 ourfoGrtry,
as recommended in the medAge, would be no

CiEadel Of our liberty and lovereignty.
