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 ! its duration with that of tlie glorious career of Napolean 1 Bonaparte.
