REPUBLIC OF GENEVA. It appears by the following document, that the fate of Geneva, that small Republic, so celebrated in the history of the Reformation, and in the annals of Science, will soon be de finitively settled. The following Communica tion has just reached us from very respectable authority:— ‘‘ Frontiers of Switzerland, May 9, 18 I t. “ After long continued vicissitudes of fears and hopes, of dangers and providential es capes, Geneva sees at last the dawn of its restoration to happiness and independence — 1 hough still, at this moment, buithen cd with Austrian troops, deprived of almost the whole of its artillery by the Austrian Authorities, and exhausted beyond mea sure of provisions, of clothes, and. even of t.ic liberal.and truly generous spirit of the Al lies, anil in consequence of the good spirit which its inhabitants have evinced, to a state oi prosperity, greater perhaps than it ever enjoyed before. The following declaration, issued at Zurich on the 1st of this month, by t.'H* three Plenipotentiaries appointed bv the Allied 1 owers, for the purpose of assisting in the new organization of the federative Re public of Switzerland, contains a full devel opemcnt of the views of the Allies respecting the fate of Geneva. I lie plan of aggrandize ment alluded to in this document is said 10 comprehend a jiopulation of about 240,000 souls, an extension of territory, which, it’ap pears. so far exceeds the expectations’ of the Geneves** »1.*»nw-lyi ■>, that they liegin to ques tion whether it would not be better and sa fer, for the preservation of their national manners, and ofdieir Protestant institutions, to he treated, in this respect, with less munifi c etlce.”—The declaration runs thus : “ l'o the Syndics and Council of the Repub lic of (lenevu. “ It is with peculi if satisfaction, that the undersigned, Envoys Extraordinary and Pleni potentiaries of their Imperial and'Royal Ma jesties, have received the communications which have been made to them by the Coun sellors, M. M. S.iladin and Schrnkltmeyer, De puties of the Republic of Geneva. The under signed have found in the Address of the 22d of April, presents! by the C.itizensof Geneva to the Provisional Council, the most solemn and the most authentic expression of their wishes for the restoration of the Republic, and for its aggregation to the Helvetic Body. That wish being perfectly agreeable to the Allied Powers, and conformable to the benevolent intentions with which th**v are animated in be half of Geneva, the undersigned hasten to Con gratulate the Provisional Council on having acceded to taut vnsii^ hjk] oi, having, *n h> - " 1 - wisdom, adopted measures caculated to prc paiv its happy realization. “ I lie Allied Powers desire, that the Rcpub lic of Geneva, strengthened by a liberal con stitution, and by a suitable increase of teirito ry, should offer itself to Switzerland as an ally, Cco-chit) capable of contributing to its pre servation, and to the strict maintenance of its svsteni of neutrality. \\ ith this view, the 1 rov ision.il Council would do well to prepare, with mature delilierntiou, the pl an of a Con stitutional Act of the Republic of Geneva.— l'iic nineteen States assend led at Zurich, are now engaged in drawing up their federal com pact ; and that fundamental 'oasis will soon be completed. In consequence of the events which have re-csiablised the basis of indepen dence of the free nations which France had subdued, the Republic of Geneva shall lx? au thentically acknowledged in the possession of its political rights, and of the territory which Jit Allied Powers intend it should tictjuirc. It is at that period, which does not appear to be far distant, that Geneva may definitively fi.*? its Constitution, and assume its rank amongst the Swiss States, by adhering to their federative Compact. In the mean time, the Counsellors: a lacon and Schmidtmcyer wili have an oppor tunity of justifying the confidence which their countrymen seem to have so deservedly placed m their zeal and utilities, by establishing, with the Deputies of the nineteen States, such u inicable relations, as may lead to the forma tion of a political bond, and bv surcesrivelv in toi ming the. Provisional Government oi the progress of the lalxirs of i lie Diet. “ Hn their part, the undersigned will be most anxious to participate, by their good of n<a s, in any thing which may "tend to re-tore to the Republic of Geneva its former prosper ity. 1 (Signed) Lc Comte CAPO DTSTRI \ KCHRAITT, „ „ . , „ CHAM BRIER.” Zurich, May 1 1814.” . , . , ,r Chat., May 18.

This report had for its object to prove that Switzerland, for the maintenance ot her neutrality, ought net only to recover her ancient possessions, but acquire fresh ones -—among others, Huninguen, the part of the Bishopric of Basle on this side the Jura Neufchatel, the Bailiwick of Gcx; on the side of Savov, Geneva, and the left bank of the Lake of Geneva ; on the side of Italy, the V alais, the valley of JPormezzen, the dis trict between the Trosa and the Lake NTag giore, the ancient fort of Fuentes.

The extreme neglect in which the late I-rench government had suffered these most essential establishments *o remain, in order to save money tor other objects, necessarily oc casioned extraordinary wants this year'; but the dykes, when once restored, will not cose moi e than usual tor their maintenance. , “ J'0** the department of finance less would a^so be required in the chstiing year. On this point it would be sufficient to state, that the payment of the interest ot our public debt - was so much in arrear, that in this * cur ii was necessary to provide for one and one-half : •’ “treicsi. in lunire, nowcver, the in terest will be paid half vearlv* and each y«_ar will Ik- charged with its own burthen. “ The Secretary then proceeds to starc that under the head of foreign department, less would be required in future, as the pre sent year requiredInn t« traordinury expen diture hi the establishment of foreign embas sies. ' “ The expcnces of the naval department fixed at the moderate sum of 3.3U>,CU0 florins ’ are susceptible < f little reduction ; but it is by i* means to be supposed tliat tlie very large sum of 23 millions for the war department will in future y ars remain a burthen on the finances oi the country. i lie extraordinary circumstances in which the country was plu ced, hate in fact occasioned this expendituit. vVhen his Royal Highness entered on the *0.' emment, there was no army in the Nether lands ; the magazines were emptied of ail their stores, audit became necessary to >un pK bv new purchases the numerous wanes thus created. “ In the first place the army, which be side the land militia, cannot be reckoned at less than 30,000 men and 4,000 horse-, wr» to be wholly raised, and required an expendi ture to effectuate its first levy, which will n< t be called tor in future years. A second source of expenditure, to the amount of about four millions, consisted in the supplying of sub sistence and other necessaries to the ‘ nume rous corps of allied troops which passed through, or were stationed for months ir. our territory. This, however, is an expenditure not likely to recur in future years.” PROCLAMATION «V THE KINO Lmiis, by the grace of God, King of France and Navarre : Lhsirous to confer upon the Princes of our blood a mark of our attachment, and to the armies a proof of our satisfaction : On the report ot our minister of war t! - council of State having heard the same ; We have ordered and do order as follows Art. 2.
