The Queen of the West has brought
news fom the Alpine Republic up to
the lst Of March The debate in The
Hietat Zuficlr,on the expulsion.of of the
lesuits, was OF ihc most exciting ciar-
acter. The entrance Of the Cl,amber
was obstructed by dense masses ofpeo.-
pie. and it was only through tile aid rit
a military fnrce thai passage eonld.hc
made for the. members. The business
oi the thamber opened with a melton
for the expulsion Of the Jesui's. which
motion was sustained by the presenta-

citizens. -ta t .+e y -,
The libels,lists denounced the Jesuits
without any reservation. Snme Of the
leaders charged them with being cor-
rupi in morals; having lust for. power;
dangerous, because the laws of the or.
der require implicit obedience, and be-
cause they have caused civil commo-
tons. and furnished arms with which to
assai the liberties of = Hitzer'and.--
| They are enemies of liberty, enemies
of,he Press, enemies OF liberal educa-
tion, and are altogether unfit to direct
the education of the Swiss children
They secretly wish to destroy the Pro-
testant faith and establish Ronanism
upon its foundation. II they are dan
gerous in a monarchy they are doubly
so in republic. These are the main
arguments used for the expulsion OF the
JesutS.
The advocates of the Jesuiis. mostly
from the Catholic Gantons, denied these
charges, and attributed the agitation in
Switzerland to other causes. They
charged that the Pro,eslants were CON
stanty making aggressions upon the
Catholics, and hence the source nf the
difficulties in some of the Cantcns.
The deputies. who detendei the Cath.
mics were violent in their ianarlgp.
declaring lha, wheneye'. or whrrevef
any attempts were made to expel the
Jesuits. they were met with organized
res stance. 1, could NOT be done, they
saii. except by force Of arms. ana an
appeal to such force Is what they defed

amidst great excitement, without any
definite action on this important queS-
ton.
