The Helvetic Diet was sorely puzzled by the success of

the popular insurrection. One of the deposed Government was M. Hess, First Ma- gistrate and Burgomaster of Zurich, and, in consequence, President of the Diet. Several of the Deputies waited on M. Hess, after the appoint- ment of the Provisional Government, to ask if he considered himself President of the Diet? Ile replied that he did ; and, in consequence, it was decided that the next meeting of the Diet should be held after that of the Great Council, which was to take place on Monday.—Morning Chronicle.
