Several of the Swiss Cantons, but especially those of Basle

and Schwytz, have lately been in a very disturbed state, in consequence of the resistance made by the aristocratic party to the new order of things, introduced by the friends of Liberal Government since the French Revolution of 1830. The Federal Diet, however, have acted with vigour; and the malecontents, who, as there is good reason to suppose, have been encouraged by Prussia and Austria, are completely put down for the present. It is said that the French Government had signified very distinctly to the despotic Cabinets, that no interference on their part in Swiss affairs would be tolerated. Thus backed, the Liberal party was enabled to -crush their opponents with ease.
