For these some weeks past, Madame Krudener has been wandering along the frontiers of our canton, without being suffered to enter it, which was her avowed design. She has therefore been under the necessity of confining herself to mere reconnoissances. Madame Krudener declaims in violent terms against almost all the governments of Switzerland. She declares herself to be the protectress of all vagabonds, and people of the lowest class, and is constantly followed by troops of beggars. Finding herself excluded from every canton in which she attempted to fix her abode, she has employed all her cunning to elude the protection of Religion by the Guardian An- Tuesday, 23 Thermometer from 40 to 64. agents of police, who were directed to op-gels of the Allied Powers," is one among pose her entrance. She pretended to quit the prints recently produced at Paris. Turgovia, to proceed to Upper Suabia, when she unexpectedly took a circuitous route, and returned to another Turgovian district. An officer of police was fortunate enough to overtake her, and on the evening of the 16th conducted her to the frontiers of our canton. She was there met by an agent of police with an escort, to whom she intimated her intention of quitting Switzerland for ever, and proceeding to the Voralberg. The officer readily offered to facilitate her conveyance thither, and accompanied her as far as the rivulet of Rhineck, in the valley of the Rhine. Here a new and unexpected incident obliged her to alter her determination. The chief of the first Austrian post, established at Hoechft, would not suffer her to cross the river, which at that point forms the frontier between Switzerland and the Voralberg. The Austrian magistrate at Hoechft having been informed of Madame Krudener's demand, proceeded in person to St. Margaret, in the vicinity of the rivulet of Rhinek, and showed the lady the order he had received from the government of Inspruck, which expressly declared that neither Madame Krudener nor any of her disciples could be tolerated in the Austrian territories. It is not known whither she next intends to proceed.
