Stecklikrieg The Stecklikrieg ( " ) of 1802 resulted in the collapse of the Helvetic Republic , the renewed French occupation of Switzerland and ultimately the Act of Mediation dictated by Napoleon on 10 March 1803 . The conflict itself was between federalist insurgents , mostly of the rural population , and the official Helvetic Republic . The name " " wooden club " refers to the improvised weaponry of the insurgents . Following the Treaty of Lunéville , the French troops left Switzerland during the summer of 1802 , resulting in rapid destabilization of the country . The insurgence originated in Central Switzerland , the cities of Zürich and Bern as well as rural parts of the Swiss plateau ( Aargau and Solothurn ) . After several hostile clashes with the official forces of the Helvetic Republic , which were lacking both in equipment and motivation ( Renggpass at Pilatus on 28 August , artillery attacks on Bern and Zürich during September , and a skirmish at Faoug on 3 October ) , the central government at first capitulated militarily ( on 18 September , retreating from Bern to Lausanne ) and then collapsed entirely . It was succeeded by cantonal governments , and a Tagsatzung in Schwyz led by Alois von Reding . Napoleon was concerned that the instability of Switzerland could infect Europe at large , and re - occupied Switzerland immediately after the collapse of the central government . His Act of Mediation however made concessions to the demands of the insurgents , abandoning the centralist structure of the Helvetic Republic in favour of a more federalist approach . French intervention constituted a breach of the Treaty of Lunéville , which was taken as a pretext by the United Kingdom to declare war on France on 18 May 1803 . William Wordsworth ' s poem " Thought of a Briton on the Subjugation of Switzerland " is directly inspired by the events of the " Stecklikrieg " .

The demoralized French defenders have already requested an armistice and been rebuffed , repeating the suggestion on 1 July as the ﬁrst British troops arrive overland ( hampered by torrential rains ) . As negotiations progress Carmichael maintained pressure by installing heavy siege batteries around the city and massing his forces for an assault . On 6 July the capitulation is ﬁnalized , Barquier pointedly surrendering to the British rather than to the Spaniards . Next day redcoats occupy the city and Fort San Jerónimo , the French defenders being transported directly to Port Royal Jamaica without loss of life on either side .
