The intelligence from Znrich is to the 21st inst. The resolution of the Diet relative to the suppression of free corps, which we gave yesterday, had been adopted by thirteen and two half states, and consequently became a federal law. The President, M. Moussox, announced that the Austrian Charge d'Affaires had delivered to him a copy of a dispatch, addressed to him by Prince METTERNICH, which he would communicate to the different cantons, as he had not received it in time to deliver to the Diet. He then closed the session in the following terms : " Our deliberations are terminated. Some of you will retire dissatisfied. A similar disposition will manifest itself among a portion of the Swiss people. It is consequently a duty the more imperious for you to exert yourselves to maintain public order and tranquillity, and not allow the interests of the commonwealth to be sacrificed to party spirit. I must remind Lucerne that it depends upon its Government not to increase the existing irritation, and to effect a reconciliation by making a sacrifice to the country. May Switzerland be ready to provide against events, and strong enough to uphold her honour and liberty under every circumstance. She would repent too late, if her authority and power were abandoned to the mercy of party interests." We here subjoin the note of Prince METTERNICH, referred to by the President; but we cannot agree with our Conservative Contemporary, the Herald, which publishes the document, that" it is directly threatening." In our opinion, the threatening part contains ma good sense, and points out to the different cantons what course they should adopt to preserve the friendship of the Great Powers. The following paragraph would apply with equal force to the Government of the United States, which would not, or could not, prevent the lawless citizens from robbing and murdering their inoffensive neighbours :—" A Government not possessing sufficient power to master its subjects, to prevent them carrying, with arms in hand, murder and pillage into the territory of an inoffensive neighbour, such a Government would not deserve that name."
