SWISS SCENERY.

Certainly going from France into Switzer-
land, is like passing through purgatory to Par
adise. And Switzerland is an earthly Paradise.
The majestic trees, the verdantfelds, the bloom
ing enclosures, the deep blue waters of the
wide expanded lake, its richly cultivated shores,
with picturesque cottages, cheerful country
houses, sweet villages and hamlets reposing on
its banks; the woods, the rocks, the half seen
open valleys; the lofty mountains, the Alps in
all the majesty of nature; the hoary summit Of
Mont Blanc, crowned with its eternal SHOWS.
No. vainly should seek to give you an idea Of
this land Of surprising beauty! All that is
lovely, romantic, glorious, and sublime in the
works Of nature, are combined in these scenes
OF various enchantmeht! Nothing can be more
animated than the sssnery oil Switzerland
The whole country is overspread with rural
habitations Here you see the wealthy sub
stan,ia farmhouse, compact'y built OF wood,
with its steep projecting roof, covered with
wooden shingles, secured with poles and stones,
implanted, but well vanished with It's own ma
tive brown coat Of exuded, rosin; pe:chance
carved over with quaint texts OF scripture, and
always sheltered under venerable outrageous
walnut trees, from the fruits of which the peas.
ants extract their oil. Turn aside, and there,
in deep pastoral valley, al the base Of some
bee,ling mountain, which seems to threaten its
humble roef with the terrific avalanche, stands
a sweet, lowly cottage, 6lled with busy inmates
and surrounded with every appearance Of rural
contentment. High above, perched on some
arial summit, accessible only to the shepherd
and the chamois, you behold the Alpine Chalet,
or mountain dairy, tenanted only in summer,
while the cows are grazing on the fields.

We have received the Paris Journal DIES De-

we extract from the New York papers of yes

The police officers at Paris were busy in ma
king domiciliary visits among the sellers OF
pictures, in order to conhscate photographic
prints politically obnoxious. In the number Of
those prints, the portraits of Napoleon's son,
the Duke de Reischs,ad, are particularly men
toned. To estimate our situation in the Uni.
ted States, we should note what does not hap
pen here, that is familiar to other countries.
Original, ined,ed Letters Of Me. de Seuigne
have been just published in Paris. This acces-
sion will be welcomed by those who can appre-
ciate the excellence Of the collection from the
same pen, SO long popular in all the lettered
nations.
The Paris Journal called the American Re-
view, edited, we believe, by Nj. Levasseur, con-
,inues to be highly applauGed.

The Brothers OF the Order Of Charity are to
carry all alike, 10 the grave, and the Church is
to pay the fees when the family OF the defunct
! are unable to discharge Them.
The New Law ofthe Press, angrily anticipat-
ed by the French opposition papers, is said to
be levelled at books chiefly. We do not know
whether any measures now practicable, would
be adequate to abridge the number Of ieen-
tious works constantly reprinted or issued in
the French metropolis, and thence Dispersed o.
yer Europe and South America; but morality
would gain much by such result
Russia is declared to have obtained sim.
mense advantages by the Convention OF Aker-
man."
The addresses which were delivered by the
Speakers Of the two Chambers, at the opening
Of the Portuguese Cortcs, are sensible and lib
eral, aud denote both good temper and good re-
solution.

Dor friends will expect from NJ
some note or comment on the election
Of Speaker OF the House OF Rspresen.
isilves We, of course, regret thai
the Executive has majority of tha
two Houses against it, ard not moro
against il than against The best inter-
eats OF the nation. Boz il ii be affect
that the Opposition have The maiornes,
and we are rather of opinion that il 10
notwithstanding the explanations OF
our correspondent, it is far better
that the organization and regulation OF
the Houses. and the responsibility los
their measures, should be with them
than with the friends Of the Admins.
trsiion. We are not sure that ii will
not be better and more convenient for
the Administration TO have both Hou.
ses, than to have only enc against il.
In the former case there is some chance
for tranquility, and for sslusary stag.
nation oil law making; whereas, in tho
latter, there was and would always
be, agitation and toll without the least
utility. The Executive stands high
and stable ground; the country is bssk-
ing in peace and smiling in plenty;
there is no evil or trouble prevailing.
except the noise and scandal of this
Opposition The principles Of Mr..
Adsms' Administration are those on
which this Government must stand, or
il will no. stand at all, for any length
OF time. Mr.. Adams has now no.
thing TO do but to attend to the making
OF proper appointments, receiving and
sending Ministers, ordering the Army
ard Navy and recommending 10 the
Houses proper objects OF legislation.
He need not be anxious, personally,
about the fate OF any of HE rseommen-
ds,ions; az patriot undoubtedly he
must be so in common NTH every good
citizen. The responsibility 10 shifted
with the power; we hope thai all may
be well with ,he Republic.
