In various parts of Germany, disturbances - more or less alarming have

recently occurred ; but none of them are of so formidable a character as to require detailing. At Portruyven, in Switzerland, there have been some riots ; and in Switzerland generally, the peo- ple are said to be anxious to return to their former intimate alli- ance with France. We must repeat an observation that we made some time ago, that but for the revolutions of France and Belgium, not the slightest interest would attach to these riots ; but in these times of change, no one knows where or how the wheel of Fortune is to stop.
