The French Government have gained their point in expelling Louts
BONAPARTE from Switzerland. The Prince has addressed a letter to the Executive of the Canton of Thurgovia, abandoning his claim to citizenship, on the ground that he cannot under any circumstances give up his title to be considered a Frenchman. He has also applied ta the British Envoy, Mr. ATOMISM, for pass- ports to England. The Times asserts positively that Lowt Pinup will not be satisfied with the simple retirement of Lodetteee7t zee BONAPARTE, but will insist upon a decree of banishment against bim, so as to prevent his return. Proscribe an alien ?—the Diet will scarcely assent to this proceeding against a person innocent of any infraction of Swiss laws, unless under dire necessity. The National asks whether, if LOUIS BONAPARTE should set on foot intrigues at Brighton, or in Jersey, within a few leagues of the French coast, and nearer to Paris than the Canton of Thurgovia, Louts PHILIP would establish a camp at Boulogne to compel the Queen of England to give up or banish the source of his dis- quietude P—whether Count Mins would send Lord MELBOURNE a second edition of his note to the Duke DE MONTEBELLO ? The answer might be, says the National, that there are some English men-of-war at Sheerness.
