SWITZERLAND.
The Swiss Federal Council has lust drawn up A
circular despatch in which it expresses alarm at
the possibility of the annexation of the country of
NICE and of Savoy to France According to an
ANALYSIS OF the document, the Federal Council re-
marks to the Powers that the part of Switzerland
IN Europe is to represent the principle of neutrali-
" IN al the wars in which France may find herself
engaged. That neutrality, which is for the inte-
rest OF European order, would, in the opinion OF
the Federal Council be compromised, if France,
taking possession of Savoy, was consequently to
enclose part of Switzerland within her frontiers
In support OF that opinion, the despatch alludes to
the events of the First Empire, and the difficulty
which Switzerland had to secure her independence
Inc Federal Council, after dwelling at some length
on these considerations, thinks them convincing
enough to authorize Switzerland to demand from
Europe the cession of the provinces OF Chablais
and Faucigny in the event of the annexation of
Savoy.

denim legislative grants to city railroad franchises
but before the hour of meeting, James kerrigan
and partyot his friends took possession of the hall,
