patches have since ripened into action An edict has
just been published abo!ishing capital punishment and
substituting solitary confinement for hard labor Jour-
nalism has taken root and several papers pub
lshed here under very mild censorship The articles
permitted in these journals indicate sympathy bet ween
the Grand Ducsl and Papa Governments, and although

As elsewhere the liberal progresses In SwitEsr
land Since the date Of my last there have been
raj debates and several divisions In the Diet in all Of
which the liberal party have triumphed. The Dict has
resolved to compel the Sonderbund nuiying cantons
to dissolve their separate league 1t has also authorized
the Executive Vorort, it is called to dismiss from
the federal service all officers who shall enter the service
Of the cantons Of the Sonderbund this the Vorort
has been very prompt to do Meanwhile the cantons of
the league continuing to throw up entertainments
erect fortresses import munitions Of war enroll
troops The Federal here adopting cor
well drilled and equipped, ready to take the field
Some OF the separated cantonB are you aware
geographically hemmed In by liberal cantons, while
Others If not are on one side or
another cut of from military ty
conveys of men, and ammunition can only reach them
by passing through other Of the liberal cantons
Orders accordingly given to intercept such supplies
in transitu-and this has, in more than case been
actually done. Thus several wagons Of ammunition
passing through the canton of Tessno on their
route to of the separated cantons they
by the authorities aided by the people, and were dis
led nv oh

tendency Of the French people But the French
different things. The French government is Louis
Philippe and NJ. Guizot backed by chamber and con-
stitusncy in which they command a majority, by the
practice Of corruption on colossal SCALE This how
ever last long, for the nation is already making
gigantic efforts to effect parliamentary and electoral
reform Meanwhile the liberal party in Switzerland has
the oountenancs and support Of the English govern
ment which il compelled to be liberal whether It will or

The Federal Executive and Legislature have not yet
settled what means Of compuson will be used to

and to the federal pact. These the three
great objects here to enable liberal ideas to
something decided on that point.
