      secretaries . A great excitement followed this announcement , which watt highly applauded b y the Mountain , and as M . Arnaud is the only Radical member who toe elected to be secretary of the Chamber , this spirited act was viewed with some consternation by the friends of order . ' M .

      • SWITZERLAND . Telegraphic despatches froa Switzerland announce that " a number of armed peasants endeavoured , on the 22 od nit ., to . get possession of the city of Friboorg , and to . overturn the . government . They were defeated , and several were , killed . . The insurgents belonged to the oltra-Catholic party , and wished , no doubt , to restore- the former power of the Jesuits ( who had a celebrated university in Fribonrg ) , and to insure the triumph of those illiberal principles in defence of which . the Sonderhund war was , a few yeara ago , commenced . ' '" ' ""' ' '

      The Swim Federal council-bts addressed a circular to all the confederated states , informing them of the events which-have recently taken place at Friboorg , and calling their attention to the necessity of observing the strictest surveillance , to prevent a recurrence of such ( cenes in their several localities . The commissary-general , sent tq ; Tessin has proposed to remove all the Refugees who are in that canton to the other side of the Alps . The popular Assembly held on March the 25 at Schonbrnnnen was composed of nearly 2 , 000 persons ; they toted with some modifications the Socialist programme ,

      protesting however against all charge of communism . Before separating , they' appointed a committee to present to the grand council . of the canton a petition in conformity .. with the programme . The government of Fribourg has issued a proclamation giving an aoeonnt of the late engageneat . It calls , the peasants « a band of factio n * per eons , ' and states that the attempt was excited by the dissolved clergy , that it was intended to put to death not only the- adversaries of the present government , but all the partizans of the ancient government . . , .

      Letters from Vienna state , that the director of the royal theatre has so terribly mutilated those plays of Shakspere which are performed on his stage , that they can scarcely be recognised . Every political alloiion is left out * when it is likely to give the slightest offence to the occupants of the royal box , and every word that may be construed into a satire on kings and princes is carefully suppressed .

      ThiB is a cruel revenge for the attack on Haynan ; Oar ambassador in Vienna ought to protest , in the name of England / against the sacrilegious mutilation of her immortal poet .
