After contemplating, with the highest adj
miration the virtue and wisdom so Conspicu-
Gus IN the arrangements made on the first
day OF April, at Paris, we are unable, Sir, to
express the deep concern and the shame we
feel, touching the hostile measures which Your
royal highnesS has been advised to sanction in
respect Of Norway
Ii be just that any one nation shall provide
for its own welfare and happiness by the ex-
crcise OF IT'S own reason, and the freedom of
Its own will, IT must be Just that every nation
shall freely do tile same
England, Sir, can have no right to force ON
Norway sovereignty to which she is adj
verse. For such purpose, to draw the
sword were manifcstly wicked but to at
tempt to subdue independence, innocence, &
were shockinglv inhuman. We humblv. Sir.
and most anHiousy intreat your ROYAL HIGH
ness, to save your country from this reproaCh.
to avert from her this diShonor
and, Sir, among the many happy results of
the paafication of Europe we contenDlate

rhine right of neutral nations, which have
constituted the ground of the ever lamentable
hostility IN which we are engaged with the L.
S. of America
Hence, Sir, we confidently trust, that On
both sides of the Atlantic the miscries and i'm
moralltles OF war will shortly be at an end. &
the whole civilized world rcpose under the

REPUBLIC OF GENEVA.
1t appears by the following document, that
the tate OF Geneva, that small Republic, so
celebrated IN the history of the Reformation.
and IN the annals of Science, will soon be. de-
hnitivcly settled. The following conmunica-
ton has Just reached us from very respectable
authority -
" Frontiers Of Switzerland, May 9, 1914.
Alter long continued vicsstudeS of fears
and hopes, of dangers and provdentiaI es-
capes, Geneva sees at last the dawn of its
it"tofauon TO happiness and independence
- hongh STILL at this moment, bu1thcn-
Ell with Austrian troops, deprived of almost
the whole OF its artillery by the Austrian
Authorities, and exhausted beyond mea
sure OF provisions, of Clothes, and. even Of
money, Geneva will soon see itself raised bv
the liberal and truly generous spirit of the Al
lies, and in consequence OF the good spirit
WHICH It's inhabitants have evinced, to a state
oil prosperity, greater perhaps than it ever
enjoyed before. The following declaration.
issued ut Zurich on the 1st of this month. bv
the three Plenpotentlaries appointed by the
Aimed Powers, torthc purpose Of assisting in
the new organization Of tile fcderative Re-
pubic OF Switzerland, contains a full devel
opement OF the views Of the A lies rcsncctino
the tate OF Geneva. The plan of aggrandizeD
ment alluded to in this document is said 70
comprehend population Of about 100000
souls, an extension of territorY, which. il an
pears. so far exceeds the expectations of tbe
GeneveSe Themselves, that they begin TO ques-
tor whether it would not be better and sa-
Ter, for the preservation of their national
manners, and Of their Protestant institutions.
