BY the news published elsewhere, it will be
perceived that the Neuchatel question is at rest.
Napoleon has added another to his many claims
on public gratitude, by interceding between
Switzerland and Prussia; aud that not, as was ap-
pretended in the interest Of Prussia, but very de-
cidedly in the interest of Switzerland. Not many
weeks have elapsed since the PIussian King in his
speech to his Chambers, announced that his honor
and dignity were pledged to the maintenance of
his rights over Neuchatel: he declared that he
would sustain them, If necessary, with the whole
force of his empire, and, with broken voice and
tears he called on the Chambers to give him their
support. Now, Napoleon iii. guarantees tina.
Prussia shall relinquish these same rights in favor
Of Switzerland and the only return which the
Swiss are expected to make for this remarkable
condescension is the release OF certain prisoners
Of whom the Swiss will be delighted to get rid
II is understood that in this measure. the French
Emperor is sustained throughout by the moral
weight of England and Of the Pamerston govern
ment; and that, should the Prussian King prove
obstinate, he will have TO deal with both Western
governments, like his neighbor the late Nicholas.
simultaneously with this cheering piece of
news, we learn that the light cloud which
seemed, short while ago, to impend over
the relations between Russia and the Western
Powers has been completely dispelled. In en-
change for one unknown place, Russia has re-
ceived another which il will be equally vain to
seek on the map; and with this exchange the
Emperor, Turkey and the Western Powers seem
