LONDON, August -r-
ANEW Vendee is breaking out; the Jacobins in
j France have avowed therySelves the friends of Mo
reau, (he is their countryman in a wide sense!) and the
confequem enemies of Bonaparte. Tlie walls of Rennes
were every night cove-ed with placards bearing these ener
getic words, u Vive Moneaol Guerre a Bonjpartei” To
these exclamations are also added the mod violent invect
ives again ft the firft eonful. Mouneer, the new prefect,
knows not what to do; he is tiiandcrftmck; he had, how
ever, the resolution to remove from within its juriftUclion
a demi brigade which have manifested a very enrphatical
opinion in favor of Moreau, bnt theremeval alluded to
did by no means do away the fubjedt of complaint, for the
Bretons to a man wifb to fee Moreau at the head of affairs.
Touffaint is destined to occupy tire dungeon cf Befan
con, lately vacated by M. de Bourroont, who has been
transferred to tlie baffle of Ham, in Picardy.
Emigrations to the weftem continent from the northern
parts of Ireland, and from the highlands of Scotland, are
continued to an extent so alarming as to call for the im
mediate consideration of the government.
Upwards of 1800 persons have failed from Londonderry,
Belfaft, &c. for America, since the beginning of June,
and flill greater numbers are preparing to follow as soon as
they can provide means for their transportation.
A Scots journal, which we received yefterdav, Contains
the following article: “ On Saturday three veflels failed
from Fort William with emigrants for America. It is
lamentable to think there are no lefsthan 12 ships engaged
for the weft highlands, which must carry eff 14 or 1500
of those deluded wretches from their native country. Be
fore they had been three hours at sea fome of the poor
creatures on Saturday came and asked one of the Tailors if
the land they saw was America, which fliews what an idea
they had of their voyage.”
August 17. Private letters respecting tl>e occupation
of the Pruftian indemnities state that the inhabitants have
received their new matters without opposition. On die
arrival of the troops at several places the officers and civil
commifTaries were treated with the greatef: poftible polite
ness and attention. The change of matters cannot indeed
be materially interetting to the inhabitants, for their situ
ation will undergo no striking alteration. Any change
which does take place will in ail probability be of a very’
beneficial nature. Under tlie protection of a Prussian go
vernment they may be relieved from a number of local
and vexatious regulations to which under their former petty
sovereigns they were subject.
Letters from Vienna ttate that a courier iias been sent
to Berlin, who is directed to afliire the court of Prussia
that his imperial majesty w ill not only occasion nocbttacle
to the taking pom-111 on of Prussian indemnities, but will
do every thing in his power to promote the completion of
this bulinefs. For this purpole he has given orders to his
troops occupying any of the places allotted to Prussia to
evacuate them immediately on the approach of the Prussian
troops.
The king of Prussia published a roval patent upon his
taking pofleffion on the 3d instant of the rcclefiaftical
ttates granted to him as indemnities. It is signed by the
king’s own hand, confirmed by the royal seal, and dated
Konigfberg, 6th June. After reciting the royal titles it
proceeds to fav, “ By the treaty of peace concluded at
LuneviJle, the 9th February, between his imperial majesty
and the German empire on the one part, and the French
republic on the other, and also by ulterior negotiations
carried on in consequence, and by the agreement entered
into between us and the other powers, the abbeys of Es
sen Werden and Eltcn, rendered secular, are adjudged
among other countries aud places to us, our heirs and luc
cettbrs, in perpetuity, as indemnities for our provinces on
the other fide of the Rhine, ceded to the French republic
from the love of peace and the general tranquillity.” Tlie
article then concludes with requiring laid abbeys to admit
his troops, and acknowledge his Prussian majesty their
lawful sovereign.
Paris, August 4. Yesterday tlie conservative senate
carried their decree to the palace cf government, Barthe
lemy add retted tlie firtt consul in a Ipeech full of those sen
timents cf gratitude and admiration which have so often
been reechoed from every quarter of France. He then
pretented the decree cf the senate, to which the consul re
turn* and the following anfvver:
“ Senators,
11 Tlie life oi a citizen belongs to his country. The
French people dtfip. that the whole of mine be entirely de
voted to them. I obev.
“In giving me anew pledge, a permanent pledge, of
their confidence, they impose upon me the duty of eftab
lithing their laws on profpetdive institutions.
“ By my efforts, by your concurrence, citizens Collat
ors, by the concurrence of all the authorities, by the con
fidence ana will ot this immense people, the liberty, the
equality, and prosperity, ol France, are placed beyond the j
caprices of fortune, and the uncertainty of futurity. The i
<>eft ot nations ftiall be the moft happy, as it is tlie mod
worthy to be so, and its happiness ft.ail contribute to that
of all Europe.
Satisfied that I am called, by the order of Him from
whom every thing flows, to bring back to the earth, jus
tice, order, and equality, I fhali hear my latt hour strike
without regret, and without inquietude about the opinion
cf future generations.
“ Senators, receive my thanks on this so solemn an oc
casion. The senate has desired that which the Frendh
people has willed, and has thus united itfelf more closely
with every tiling that concerns the welfare of the country.
It is grateful indeed to me to liear the certainty of this in
the words of i'o diftiuguiftied a president.”
The following circular letter to the prefects of tire de
partments has been rimed by the miniftcr of tlie interior:
“ 1 fend you, citizen prelident, the decree of the senate
which proclaims the will of the French people. You will
cause it to be folenmly pnblifi.ed through the whole cf
your department on tlie 15th of Auguft.°
“ T,lls da y w "dl henceforth be Consecrated by many
grand recol left ions. It will recall to your latest posterity
tlie memorable epoch of the public feftiVitv of the peace of
consciences, and of the greatest act of sovereignty which a
nation ever cxeftiftd.
, u Hie 15 th of August is at once the anniversary of the
f birth of the firft consul, the day of tlie iignature of the
concordat, and the epoch at which the French people, de-
J Jirous to secure aod perpetuate its felicity y has associated

1 Bonaparte.
