SWISS EMIGRANTS.

The Winchester Republican announces
the arrival in that town of a party of Swiss
emigrants, to the number of ll9 persons
They are the same who came passengers in
the ship Boston, capt. Finley, arrived at
Alexandria from Havrc, and had proceeded
thus far on their way to Ohio. These fam
lilies were from the canton of Bern, in Swift
2erand, once republic distinguished for its
chivalric heroism and devotion to liberty
but now province of the French empire.
Every one has heard of the mountains and
glaciers Of Switzerland, and while he associ-
ates in his mind these natural bulwarks with
the fortress of liberty, he views them brst-
ling with the spears of Tell and his devoted
companions, resolved to yield them only
with their lives. They left Bern in April last.
This canton is about 45o miles from the coast
of Havrc, which port they reached aftera
journey in wagons and on foot of about 20
days. Here selling their horses, and slowing
their wagons in the ship as ballast, they en-
barked in June and arrived in Alexandria
about 8 weeks sincc.-Purchasing horses foi
their wagons at that place, they set off with
cheerful hearts and rcsolute steps for Woos-
ter county, Ohio, whittier they are destined,
taking Winchester in their way. Notwitll-
standing the poor appearance of these emf
grants, there is reason to believe that some
of them are wealthy. We are told that they
have in possession, besides other funds, a
draft on branch of the United States Bank
in Ohio for 10000 dollars. Many of them
had watches, musical boxes, jewellery, &c. to
dispose of. The following anecdote is re-
lated to us. On their arrival in Alexandria,
enc of our city spectators repaired on board
the vessel, to know if they were redemption
ers, as he wished to purchase one or two
Capt f. stung with the indignity offered to
his passengers, replied any thing like puE-
chace must come from the other side OF the
ship, as they had money enough to buy the
town of Alexandria.-Th hypcrbole will BE-
excused, but the reply was good one.
IIUSSAR FRIGATE.-Wc understand
that the company who have been employed
FOR several weeks in raising the British frgatc
Hussar, which ran on the rock in Hell Iate'
and sunk, during the revolutionary war; have
in raising about forty feet ofthe sterI
part of the ship. After placing the chains ua-
der her and moving her from her bed, sue
broke in two from the ',ce! up through tn
and the fore part of the snip
the sings and settled down again
upon the rocks. The timber of such part OF
the ship as was embedded in the mud IS per-
fcctly sound. The remainder is completely
worm -eaten and rotten. A number ofcannol
and shot were brought up with the hull, Da.
nothing more valuable that we can learn
