Already in the month of November of last year, a venerable native of Neuchatel, who has resided for several years » and has been long time in tl service of the State, wrote to us from Loi that it was the ery patriot to exert himeelfin favor of an alliance. Switzerland did not at that time and ourown internal affairs importance, that we laid the letter aside for future use. In the meantime, we receiv- ed, through an American friend,a copy of an article, which in a Washi newspaper, under the tile: ‘Austria and Switzerland,” on the above mentioned idea. {Here follows an extract from a Washington pa- per, commenting upon the motion of Gen. Case holding diplomatic relations with Austria, showing the important position of Switzerland as the asylum of persecuted liberty-—how she is an object of jealousy and hatred to the to absolute mo- narche o} and will probably be made by them to share the fate of Poland, unless our repub- lic come to her assistance. The Swiss journal Ee nating een tee tpact eb-the Wants er having given the opinion of ¢ i ten paper, on an alliance between the United ‘States and Switzerland, we shall publish that which our fellow-countryman in London has written on the same subject. After having severely blamed the seers position of ‘Switzerfand, during the years 1848 and 1849, in regard to democracy struggling against absolutism, he writes :— “* According to the Rewspapers, you appear to be surrounded by enemies, who have not as yet agreed bo son future destiny. Yet, there remains to you a shadow of independence, and if my tecble voice could have any influence, soeakt net oy rere to propose to send an embassy to the United States, to urge an everlasting alliance between both republics. ‘The Americans have already proved, in many pub- lic meetings, their lively interest in the progress of democracy in Europe, which must be increased by the atrecities committed in Austria, Hungary, Lembardy, Tuscany, Naples and Rome. If ever the present moment is the time to urge such an alliance, before you are overwhelmed by the re- actionary current, Which becomes more destructive from day to day, and the success of which renders it more audacious and cruel. Of course, | don’t pretend to say, that America tould furnish you with armed forces, but it is more powerful on’ the soas than Russia and Auetria combined, and the conclu- sion of such an alliance would be a manifestation, that would simply give the despots to understand, without diplomatic tricks, and without reserve— ‘The invasion of the Swiss territory by eoreige troops will be regarded as_a declaration of war by the government of the United States; our fleet shah immediately blockade your seaports, and letters ef mark will be given to privateers, to take your merchantmen, wherever found, which fact Shall at the same be officially notified to all Ameri- can Ambassadors, Charges d’Aflairs, and Consuls. This, my friend, is no eruption of enthusiasm, but @ very earnest proposition, that highly deserves the consideration of your government. I think this affair to be ticable, and 1 don’t believe that America would refuse herconsent. Within the last two years the emigration from Europe to the United States amounts to more than a million, amongst whom are many celebrities from Germany,’ Hungary, end Italy ; many of which exercise an influence on the deliberetions of the American Congreea, and would energeticall: sire of a Swise embassy regarding a continual sligace prtween both countries.” ua far writes our friend. We need scarcely eay, that we not only heartily desire an alliance with the North Ametiean republic, because we thereby get a support for Switzerland against the the attacks of de » but because the first and greatest step would be takea towards the alliance of people aot she. qithanee, to fulfil the favor of Berange! ‘8 Poet yaa Sen alliance des .”" For our country, we don’t consider the danger of such great importance, even if we had the conviction that we should be attacked by Austria and Prussia, under whatever pretence, fer the old enthusiam for the independence of her fatherland has not yet been extinguished in Swit- zerland, and the power of the re-action would be easily destroyed by the tesisiance of the Swisa. We don’t regard the present affairs of a so deplorable as many other people do. No- thing can step the developement of ideas or their divine mission, for the advancement of the civilization, the happiness, and the promethiy of all nations. Progrees has nothing to from a mo- mentary success of avery natural reaction. All inces tremble with fear of their people, they be- ing in want of auxiliary forces to retain tT of their crowns. The Swise regiments protect the king of Naples, the French pretend to be willing to reinstate the pope; the Ausirians support the grand duke of Tuscany; the Prussians have restored the frand duke of Bade vemos assisted the ki of Saxony egainst his people, and the Swedes an Russians have protected the king of Denmark. Is any greater proof wanted in support of the conclu- sion, that the people have never been so powerful, which is very natural, as they possess all the vir- tuea, and all the noble and magnanimous sentiment, while the reaction has on its side only the brutal power of barbariam, 6 rted by the capitalists, renegades, and Jesuits.
