TIIE SAVOY QUESTION. PROTEST OF SWITZERLAND AGAINST TIIII‘. ANNEXATION OF SAVOY TO FRANCE. The following is a copy of the Swiss protest just delivered to the French Minister of Foreign Atlairs; PARIS, March 15, 1860. M. Keno, MINISTL‘R or SWITZERLAND, TO M. Du THOUVENEL, IIIINISTER or FOREIGN AFrAIRs â€"~ Monsieur l'e. Ministre«~In consequence ofa despatch from Ilernc, I am to in- form your Ifixcllency that the Federal Council has addressed to the government of his Majesty, the Ring 01 Sardinia, a note in which they demand the maintain- anee of the stipulations of the treaty of 1564, confirmed by the treaty of 1816, between Sardinia and Switzland, in so far as they relate to the ccssion of the actual territory of Savoy to another power. I am to add that my government reâ€" gards in a particular manner any annexation of the neutralized provincus, Chahlais, Faucigny and the (.icnevols to another power, as in contradiction. to the stipu- lotions of the treaties of 1815, which guarantee these provinces in the interost of Swiss neurality, as if they were an integral part of the Confederacy, and declaring ‘that they are to enjoy the neutrality of Switzerland in the same manner as ifthey belonged to her.’ In the meantime, and with refernce to the considerations which I had the honour to explain to you in the audience which you were good enough to grant me on the 13th of March, my instructions impose on me the duty of protesting formerly, in the name of the Swiss Confederation, against every measure which may have for its obâ€" ject to annex these provinces to France, till sUch time as the Powers ofEurope, to which the imperial goverument has itself declared that it would submit this question shall have decided. I avail myself on this occasion, &.c., KERN. PARIS, March. 17, 1860. The prairie publishes a, letter from Turin stating that the question of the an- nexation of Savoy has been definitely settled between France and Piedmont. The patrze also thinks itself enable to state that the negotiations with Sardinia in refrence to Tuscany are in a fair way of being settled. The Emperor has received a deputation from Savoy. The London Times Paris correspon- dent writing on the evening of the 16th says 2-â€" It is thought that the Prince of Carl- gnan will he Governor General of TuScany unless, indeed, the Imperial idea of a separate Stateâ€"an ‘autonomous’ one~â€" be carried out. There is great wrath here against the Pope. I am told that his Holiness has is- sued another circular still stronger than the “ Encyclical” on the Rornagna affair. I have not seen the document, but it must he very strong to justify the remark said to he made in a very high quarter, that the Pope would, from the manner he was going on, soon make the famous pamphlet Le Pope at [a szgres a truth This means that of all his States Home only would be left to the Pope, and the only occupation for him and the C .rdinals would be the contemplation of the stars and of ancient monuments, prayers in the churches, &c. Letters from an ultra ultrarnontane writer, now in Home, state that. the agita- tion is so great as to make it doubtful whether even the branch army will be able to restrain it. much longer. I hear that the second monizoi/‘c or warning, which immediately precedes ex- communication, has been sent to Tturin. After a certain interval the bull casting forth the Snrdinian monarch from the c0m~ tnunion of the faithful will be issued. In the law suit against Bishop Dupanâ€" ~ lonp, the Attorney General proposed to day to rejcbt the complaint brought for. ward by the editor of the Steele, and to admit (hit of the heirs of the late Bishop Roussca. who have likewi~e brought an action against M, Dupanloup.

Unfortunately these negotia- tions will not it is feared lead to any result. The crisis will therefore be only postponed for a few days.

One of the first acts of the government, as soon as the annexation shall have been declare 11, will be to open a loan of one hundred millions, one half of which will be negotia- ted abroad and the other subscribed for at home.

RICIIMON D IIILIJ. A RETURNING SPRING. Who is there to whom life is such a blank as not to welcome with a smile of joy the return of the mild and genial spring. The winter is now over and gone, and genial and balmy weather replaces the stern drear cold lately so keenly felt. Bitter IIIust have been the lot of the poor wretches who had to depend for subsistence upon cold cold charity; and how un- speakany happy must such feel at the prospect of now being able to ’earn their bread by the sweat of the brow. Now all is hustle, and work is the order of the day. The farmer’s busy season has now com. menced. Plowing, harrowing and sowing, is now the. watchword, that his toil may be amply re- an abundant harvest, is our hearty wish ; for in the farmers prosperity consists Canada's hope, as at pre- sent Canada depends nearly en- tirely upon agriculture. Let the crops fail, the mechanic, artizan. merchant and laborers, suffer even more acutely than does the farmer himself; for the. horrid nightmare of a bank note due, and no funds to meet it, is a heartache to which he is a stranger ; and above all, the , gt’iawings of hunger are to him and his loved ones unknown. There- fore we reiterate, when the farmer suffers the whole community like- wise are in painâ€"«and thus it is that we, as heartily as the agricul- turist himself, wish for an abund- ant harvest, for our interests are identical, and cannot. be. dissevered. As proof of this, what, we ask, was the state of the Province twelve months since? and what its state now? For two years we had bad harvests, and the conse- quence was that the trade of the Province was paralyzed; ruin and bankruptcy overtook, like a foul pestilence, our merchants. There was no employment for our mecha- nics, artizans and laborers, and‘ money was so scarce that even those who could give ample secur- ity often failed to borrow, and Stlt' itself, last year’s show was. t‘lllv inc? ‘ r.2r(:"_:-i:ssful, and there ' nothing to ;roven‘. this year’s one from being even still i‘norc success~ ful. \Vc are surrounded. by some. of the wealthiest yeomen, north of Toronto, and it would be a crying shame for them, did they refuse, not only to subscribe liberally, but also to put their shoulders to the wheel and work.

Indeed so dis- astrous was the shock caused by these bad harvests, that we fear it will take some time yet before we. shall stand iii the same position that we did ere this calamity over- took us. No sooner, however, did our farmers reap a good harvest, than the bencficral etlects were at i once seen in the gradually return, i ing confidence, and the revival ( . l 1, trade and commerce. in our lIIlflt-Zt. I We ask, does not this fact prove volumes P Spring time, however, is not only a “time to sow,” but it is also a period of competition. This is the Season for Plowing Matches and Cattle Shows, and the importance of these to the farming community cannot well be overestimated, as the farmer is only too apt to content himself in his isolation with merely following in the beaten path of his predeceSsors. Now these. shows and plowing matches- are designed to remedy this failingr in our yeo- men; and right well do they answer the end designed, as they cause competition, and competi- tion induces thought. ; and from the sight of superior cattle, or better plowed furrows, our ycomen begin to think that there is something n order to be a successful farmer. Brains are also found to be indis- pensibly necessary. The science of agriculture thus rises to some-' thing higher than simple drudgery; and the agriculturist advances in the scale of being, instead of con- tinumg, as he has been an unthink~ l t This is as it should he. The Proâ€" vince is but youno, and we want intelligent and go-ahead men, who by their prudence, forethought and skill, will make their mark. l .W'ednesday last, in one respect Apr/anon» ARI’I‘HMHTIU â€"-1st.

HEAD QUARTERS, BEFORE VERA CRUZ, March 13,1860. g Before opening the upon the city of Vera Cruz, befOi'c beginning an attack which must cost the blood of so many Mexicans and be the cause of so many disasters, I deem it my duty to appeal to the patriot- ism of the chiefs of the party who adhere to the Constitution of 1857 to bring the civil war, so devastating to the Republic and so. denogatory to. our national hOnour, at once to close. Snell is the object of this note, which,I doubt not, you will have the goodness to present to the gentlemen who are at the. head of the party and direct its movements. In these solemn moments, and. profoundly moved by the misfortunes that weigh so heavily upon my country,l do not- hesitate to lay aside for the moment ray titles, though the. Government 1 have the honour to represent is, by right, the legitimate and truly national one; nor will I hesitate tc adopt any plan that. seems to me calculated to give peace to the Republic. The bles sings of the nation will follow him who with literate and imperious mandate is contempt of [mu selfâ€"abnegallon only seeks to deliver authority, then I plead guilty to the charge.â€" But, sir, I have yet to learn that a mlssive like the above ls“auth01‘it}',” The threat con- tained in the article in your paper abovo al- lude-d to, I treat with the most sovereign cen- tompt, as I have ever been, and ti‘itstl ever shall be a law-abiding citizen, unless driven to some overt act by the Justices of Aurora signing the above document, whi’ch appears to be the object of at least one of them; and whether more titationo of them signed the and 1 think the party who got. it up exhibits great audacity in signing it tho “ Justices of Aurora,” as I know that some of the most respectable famous document is proolomatical: ones knew nothing of it, and whohava at The Justices pretend to say that Paul I’ry has stated falsehood. 1 wish to ask whoroinâ€"â€"certalnl-y not in once repudiated any connection with it. the points ihev have cited. Let anv candid roadcr compare time two articles, and he ' will be at no loss to see where the falsehood lies; although it may be considered calttrmyfl of authority to call in question the statements of the “Justices of Aurora.” it may be. true, as the Justices say. that Mr. Ilrelaford drew the wood on to the. street. long before the fire took place, thus showing that the wood had lain much longer on the street without being cori- sidored any obsiiiro‘iion, till aj'ob was wanted. Paul I’ry did not state that all the travel was on Sunday, but that “ nearly all.” Now what “’liy, that “ Doctor Hillary \Vondorful 1â€"- Now regarding the centre of the road being wholly obstructed by the- wood}, as they state, I distinctly state that the ground on which the wood had been piled a few days berorc, I re- ti‘avels it, coived that flaming epistlo, and on which it had been lying promiscuously cversinco tho fire mentioned above ; was never broken by wag- gons or other vehicles since its establishmentas a road ; and from the wood to the opposite side there was ample room for four waggons to pass ., by, or any other vehicle. except, perhaps, the “ Aurora Justices.” With regard to the party fined for having timber on the road, Paul Pry stated that he would “try” and give the parti‘ i culars of the case, which he no doubt will do in lllS promised communication to tho Eraâ€"â€" All the capital the “ JustiCcs ” can mako out of that they are welcoqu to. The charge of falsehood comes with. a very bad grace from “ the Aurora Justices ;” and I Would remind them of the old adage, “ that people that live in glass houses should not throw stones, dice.”â€" Thoy say that poor l’aul Pry has not a foot of land that he can call his own, which, as every one knows, who knows anything about him, is an unmitigated falsehood. But even were it so, what has that to do with the question.â€" 1).) the Justices intend to inculcate the doctrine, that lit order to brave their mighty authority, it is necessary to possess a foot of land; and those who do not possess that requisite foot. must fear and tremble before their high and mighty supremacy; and that because they own a few feet of land, they may fence up the street for their own private benefit. and also build their fence in the street, and allow their build- ings to occupy a portion of the same. as I am credibly informed one of them does, who, I have reason to believe, was the cause of the publication of the so-called answer to. Paul Fry’s letter to the Era. any If Mr. Irepper, or invested with little authority, imagines that he can abuse me by any illiterate gasconade, he may choose to iii- dito. I can only say that he find himself, as in this case. most ogregionsly mis- taken. I defy to point out a single instance in which I have ever violated the law, either by obstructing the highway or in any other manner; and till I do I can afford to treat all threats of the nature alluded to with that contempt they deserve.

Sesrucrno MURDER.â€"â€"An inquest: was held at the Police Orlice this morning, on the body of Samuel Atkinson, of Dundas, shoemaker, formerly of this city. Deceased was found at 3;, o’clock yestero day morning lying on the sidewalk in John street, Opposite to Kluarde’s Balcony}, and near the Church of the Ascension. He was taken to the Police Office, and. kept there as an ordinary case of drunken?- ncss, which, rt seems, we»; tiered the more probable, as he had evidently been drinking. Later on in the day, as he did not revive Dr. Duggan was sent for, who, upon examination, found a wound over the left ear, and perceived that there had. been bleeding, though not to any con- Sitlei'ztlllt: extent, through that aperture. At the inquest the testimony of the Police was rendered, which. nru rely included the- faci of the hurling and committal to ,the cells, and from which it appeared that they had not noticed any blood, or other: lcti'ctinistuncvs to excite their vigilance“ The Coroner ordered a professional ex- amination, and Drs. Duggan and Bates. proceeded to remove the upper part ofthe skull. This opp ‘ation disclosed a wound of about two inches in length on the leftr side of the head, which might have been made by some blunt instrument either of. llz'rcat might or applied with very cons-- lsiderablc force, as the skull is broken in. more than one direction and to some dis- tance. About a pint of eotravasatedi 3 blood covered the brain. The Police (observed no stone or other substance on i the sidewalk which could account for the Illa diction of such a wound by the deceased ! falling thereon. \Vlren taken up he spoke. on] would appear to have been capable of lcoinplaining it h's state. of wind had per- .nittcd him to do St.'_'.*â€"[fti.)Ilf/§07L Times, d’larc/I.
