The elements of internal dscord here in fermsn
taton and to augment the energy Of the ebuon, d.
plomacy NEEDLES and foreign ministers array themselves
on the side and the other. What Washington Is

Berne Is ut present to Switzerland Disputes like
those which have former occasions agitsted the
Union and endangered ts integrity, snake the
Swiss confsderacy The Diet, which Is tho federal egs
lature, will immediately be called to- decide questions
the settlement Of which of the cantons claim
being within their independent authority, and hence
arises the nice point to determine how much OF the
thorty AS independent sovereigus the cantons have
surrendered to the federal government? What, in a
word is cantona and what Is federal? Just in the
United States the question has arisen, what is II compe-
tent FOR the State to do and what properly
appertains to the general government at Washington

gislature, called the Diet and general federal
cuve called the Vorort that the seat OF the general
government is not, in the United States, fixed

the different cantons In thu religion Ia chiefly

Protestantism, but especially Calyinism In some the
language frencn IN others norman In SOME the pub

courts; in others 1t leans to France and England and
tho constitutional States. The latter constitutes the
majority OF the cantonS.
Each canton deputies certain number Of delegates to
the Diet and gives those delegates express
an to the votes they to give all important ques
tions; and when the questions which may
be foreseen then the delegates directed to refer
the cantonal governments for fresh instr uctions
The questions which present the Swiss
federacy and which the Diet will have to to
immediate decision, are the following - Whether the
Jesuts to allowed form establishments In the
confederation . Whether certain establish

religion prevails shall be permitted to continue to main
tain separate league which they formed SOME time
since, and which called hs Sunderbund such league
