on the relations Of Switzerland to
France:

Ell, that the military measures of the
federal government are not directed
against France. but are inspired by a
friendly neutrality. Switzerland
knows she has nothing TO fear from
France. her natural ally and firm
friend. The measures taken by
Switzerland to secure the respect Of
Prussia, nor her neutrality, are in our
favor, as by her geographical position
she protects an important portion of
our frontier" :"

people towards France is also pointed
out by the same paper, which SAYS:
I'VE hear from Spain that ali no
tice how carefully in our present con-

bers have avoided any acts or expires
sion of unfriendliness toward that
power. This results from the feeling
of sympathy between the two ma
tious."
