SWITZERLAND.

The terms in .which Count Walewski addressed tlie^Swjjsa.-vGap-eniment respecting there'

I fugoes are rather stronger than those in which he addressed England. After pointing out the presence of perverse demagogues in Switzi t and, he says— The Federal Government is entreated to remove into the interior these dangerous men. This Government would disclaim the conditions of Helvetic neutrality, and would abuse the intentions of its privileges if it invoked them as an excuse for not being able to give satisfaction to France. To suffer more or less formally, even by silence or inaction, that men should receive asylum, and abuse such asylum in attacking France by conspiracies and publications, would be to neglect the duties of neutrality. The Legation is then entreated to insist that the Federal Council take measures without delay for the removal into the interior, far from the frontiers, refugees known as plotting criminal attempts, •and particulary those who are organized into a society in the canton of Geneva. The French Government will not permit that the Federal Council should urge as an excuse the indifference or unwillingness of the Cantonal authorities In case the Federal Government will not take the necessary means for satisfying the demands of France, it will assume a grave responsibility, and must take only to itself the consequences which its determination may involve.

The appointment of seven new French Consuls in the Cantons still excites the indignation of the Swiss, and the Government is urged to refuse to grant them exequaturs. ' ,
