We shall present oar readers with aa ab * raet of Mr Grote ' c exposition of Swis 3 politics . Switzerland isohds . ¦* ° * twenty-two cantons , each banns one vate in . the Diet , though there is the greatest iaequality \ k 'tween them in wealth and

      population ; Berne conjuring about 430 . 000 inhabitants , and Zurich abba /* 230 . 000 , while TJri comprises only 15 , 000 . Etch canton is independent and Sovereign , except insofar a * Hit bound by thspro twtau of the Federal pacC of % raolutioni of the Diet , in fufplmantof , and Jn conformity vnth , the fact . Bale , Appensell , and Unterwalden , are difided each into two half , cant * . ' * 3 . each half canton EOTereign and independent / he two sectioaa of Sale ( town arid cauntrj ) , and a . Appenzeli ( Inner-Ehoden and Auseer-lthodMi ) , are almoit always politically opposed , and bein ? B 8 , their rotes are , of course , nentraUBed in the Diet . Tbe Swiu people aumher in all about 2 , 400 , 000 inhabitants , of whom about , 900 , 000 are Catholics , , the teJwaiader Pcotes

      The Federal pact mu framed in 1815 , inplaeeof tke eonatitntion called the Aet of Mediation , istro-¦ eluoed by Napoleon , and which shared his fall . The pact was theprodnct ot a time when the patriciaafatnilies , inpoliti ^ and tntramontanelnflaentes in reli > gion wereinastiteof triamphantrexctioaagainst the restraint * imposed npoa them from 1783 downward . Since 1830 almost all the cantonal gOYermnents hare undergone a radical ehange , and have beceme thonnghly popnlarised ; so that' the Federal pact remains as the only unaltered relic of an odious time . In 1833 the majority of the Diet recognised the neoeeaty of modifying it . A committee propounded a scheme of Federal reform , which was signed by the ^ epoti es of fourteen cantons ( including Berse ,

      Zatich , and Lucerne ) , and recommended by them to the whole of Switorland . The stggested reform was , however , rejected . The introduetion of religion as a weapon of ex-< Jtement lor political purposes has had a baneful € &ct npon the petes of Switzerland . It was a Pro testant canton which first set this bad example . It was at Zurich , in September , 1839 , that the Radical government of tiut canton was TiolenUf oTertiirown , in eoasequence of their nomination of Dr Strauss to * chair of theology . The clergy than-• dered from the . pulpits , until they had so excited public fanaticism that the government was obliged

      to give way , and cancel the aomination . Bat the ¦ clergy did not stop here . They organised 'Conv . ¦ mitteea of Faith , * oemposed of clergymen as well as Jaymen ; preached insurrection throaghont the villages ; prevailed upon a large . numberof tha raral popnlation to take up arms under the cry . of . 'Relig ion in danger I ' and , marched into the city to put down the government by force . A clsrgyman named Hirael was actually at the head « f these , armedaa-Bailants , who drove the executive ont of the city . The new gorernmeiit styled JUelf Caneervatire (!) and after causing anarchy and bloodshed , proclaimed tte . eignof ' . otdtf and ' religionf - -r ¦ » - ; , =

      xle exampleset by the Protestantdergy ofZnneh -was speedily followed by the Catholic priests of Lucerne , who . however , regained their » seendwcy by peaceable means . In the cantea of Zarieh , the -clerical party which acquired pow « rby tberevalutisd of 1839 . lost it by the quiet ehange of electoral majority in 1845 There is now , thanks to the progress of popular enlightenment , not much , chance . that the Protestant peace-mouthing firebrands will ever again be able to obtain their fatal supremacy . Zurich is now very properly ashamed of its past fanaticism ;' In the Catholii canton of Soleurc in Argaa , where about two-fiftha of the inhabitants an Catbelics , and in the Catholic portion of Berne , * Catholic Unions ' were formed . intended to play apart similar to that

Clutching afthe shadowy power of ruheg Switaerland , they haveldst the substaatial power they , previously enjoyed . THey have got their reward- - ¦' i . ' . ; : ' •¦ > - ' / wfei _ We beg the enemiesof the Swiss radicaisi and' the friends of the Jesuits , to read , mark , leara , and ifiwardly digest-the following faets : —When tBe runV away chiefs of tbe Soaderbund arrived at Milan / thiy were recognised by the people , and hooted and Belted from the gates of the city to their hotel ! On the evening of the 3 rd of December ,. a great popular d £ msnstnition took place at Rom in honour of the vie * tory gained by the Swiss Diet in capturing Lucerne !

      l lie people , preceded by bands of music ; and holding innumerable torches , proceeded to the hotel of the Swiss Consul , whom they saluted witk the usual patriotio exclamations . The principal streets of the ci ty * through which the procession passed , were illuminated . When in front of the Swiss consul ' s house , they cried , Viva the Swiss Con e 3 eration !' 1 the capture of Lucerne ! ' ' Viva Pius IX !' The colours of the Federal cantons , the- Italian tri . coloured flag , and the Pontifical flag , were carried about the whole evening . On passing the Jesuits ' College , the crowd cried , 'Viva the capture of Lucerne J' After these manifestations ot the Italian Catholics , the defenders of the Jesuits will do well to blushfortheir past lies , and keep civil tongues ftr thefutnre . .

      The enemiesof the Swiss Radicals have seen all their predictions falsified ; and have been condemned to witness the triumph of the men whose destruction they pronounced to be certain . They asserted that the war against the seven cantons , was so odious to the majority of the Swiss people that a large mass of the Federal troops would be sore to mutisy , find a large portion-of the population , of even the liberal cantons wosld rise agaiwt their Radical governments ; but neither mutiny nor rising has taken place anywhere . It was predicted that Fribourg wanld successfully &fy the Radicate , instead of which Fnbounj was very glad to yield without a struggle , vihen Fribourg was taken , it wa » said that it was a matter ot no account , every body knew that Fribour "

      comet n « t resist , but thr Radicals 1 ' would meet with a very- different receptioa' at Lucerne , where they wenli share the fate- of the Corps Francs . Again , tbe prophets were wrong . The Radicals carriedJUreerneatthecostoFnotavery great expenditure ef bfood . Well , it was- then saM the SonderbundkMtryet beaten ; tbe men of tb » Forest cantons ess'defy all the armies- in Europe ,, and woe to the RadSealg , if ttey attempt to enter the mountain fastneaBesftfiUri , SohwytE . andi ¥ nterwalHen , there iwill not many-of ; them / ret » rn to tell the tale of theiradveateres .

They yielded at once to the summeas of General Dufourrand qaietlyallftwed the I ' edenii . troBps to garrison their cantons . The jaekalsof tteHoly AUiance had a last hope , the Valaahad befownow braxely resfeted a great French army , and sorely the Valasianseould now defy the forces of the . Ket . Alas ! for theTiirna > the Jotonai » ss Debuts , and the AcsraiAii Gbsbrvhb , even this last hone , proved fallacious . The Yalasiaris deemed diseretion tbe better part of valour , and succumbed . , The last , rebel standard of the Sonderbund was lowered te the triamphant red and white flag of the Confederation .,

      The gibes , lies , and oalumniesof theThas , directed against the Swiss majority , will , we fear , do a great deal towards rendering -England odions in the ' eyesof the . Smss people . Every attempt made by the majority of the Diet to avert civil war , ; was pronounced by the Times a proof of the cowardice of the Radicals , who dared not strike the blow they threatened . The delay accorded by General Dufour to the authorities of Fribourg to make up their minds to surrender , that thereby the effasion of Wood v might be spared , was represented as a proof that the General feared to attack his enem y * And the majority of the Diet have been constantly held up as 'Jacobins , ' who desired to establish a' ' reign of terror , ' and make Swilserland the focus of revolutionary conspiracy againgt all the thrones of Europe .

He had been e 3 ta . bishine a Temperasce society in another part of the city , and a new committee had relieved him from his duties ; he would , in future . be enabled to be more frequently am ongat them . After some preliminary business , [ Mr O'Higgins , ' and a' Voice from Tipperary , ' were heard through the columns ef the

      Northern -Star ;' -some' were anxious to hear the parliamentary proceedings ef the week read , but the general feeling was in favour of . disoussing the merits of Mr O'Higgins ' s , letter ..., Mr . Daniel M'Carthy addressed the meetiRe at great length , deneuncina some portion of Mr O ' Higgins ' s letter as a lie , and others as a foul attack' npotf the'Catholic' clergy of Ireland . He also expressed himself dissatisfied with the manner in which the great national petition of the Chartists was got up .., The English members in the House of Commons next received a severe castiea'tion becaase they did not do battle for repeal . — Mr Tucker , however , did not think that tha Irish members ought to escape scot free ; and so a very pleasant and good humoured retaliation t « ok olace .

      Mr T . asked where were the thirty-nine , Irishtmembe » pledged to repeal ? was it hot ridiculous to hear of men being blamed for this and for that , why did they not look a little-nearer home and place the mantle on the right shoulder ? Itwasdisguating to hear of patriotism Mf ; they wanted ' tbework done why did they not assist in , doing , it ?« ' -. Be , m an En : glishraan , had lost his time to . assist them , —others bad done the same . Whera were their petitions ? How could they expect men in the House of : ComrnonB te effect anything ifthey were not backed up from without ? He actually believed that the Irish people could find more friends in English membtra any day , than they could Irish ; and lie contended , if the thirty-nine members pleased toreoeal had onlv

      baefted tbe member for Nottingham out , the minister never eoald coerce Ireland ; but the paltry , truculent l ot , - was it not evident they were bartering their country ' s liberty , — dying on t&e floor one day / and then , anea , praising the ^ lenient mild measure of the mijtister .

He denounced in etrong terms , the noisy brawlers ; wlio were ever ready to make mischief with patriotism on their lips-, but who took oate to Bkuik behind backs when nny ' work was to be done for their political redemption . He had often told them , and he would tell theia > , again , if ever Ireland waste .

      as much distress , and as much enslaved , as his- own countrymen were . —Mr Martin said he , wa 9 working for Ireland for the last . four hours , that was what every Irishman ought to ' be doing . ( Cheer& . ) i The minister did not even think it worth his while to reply to the noble ; speech * of the member' for Mttingham , and why ? because he well knew that ' Irishmen themselves did not mean having them , — ( cheers)—if he knew that , He wonld redress-their , wrongs before he coerced . thom .
