Quarters to Miss Masele,. late ,utoress to

LUIS Is certainly an instance OF tile most
refined policy--Miss Maselet, after having
received this precious letter, hast-ned to
communicate TO the Canton d'Naud, and to
all the Vantiians, who rejoiced at the as
surance given tor the particular happiness
OF their Canton.
IL rs to be remarked that this great
promised felicity is Row converted into a
measure the most disastrous for the coun.
try. The Aus rian minister near the Swiss
confederati,n has ju declared, after the
order of the allied powers. that the Canton
Maud must return under the dominion of
the Bern an Lords. Such is the happiness
promised by the Grand Duchess, and it
may be said, under the diction of her au
gust brother. Let all those who after the
example of Maselet suffered themselves
sobe lulfed by similar. fine chymcras, read
and read again the letter we have Just pub
lished.
