Since 170, the tranquillity of La Vendee, and of the Western departments, has never been greater than at this moment. The hotels of the depart ments have been crowded with citizens of every age, who dessred to give their votes in favour of the hereditary imperial dignity in the Bonaparte family. In six of the ei-Jevent insurgent] departments, only two persons have inscribed against a rank and a dyn isty mee ! , ce,ry for the repo=e the ....old, and to which the universe is hulzbted tor the preservation of morality, civilisation, and religion. A ddrases arc pouring in from every village, nay, from every cottage in La Vendee, all expre.sing the same sentiments of fidelity and gratitude ; and, should the Emperor, as the rumour is, vi.it that part of his Empire, his Majesty's whsle journey will be a continual triumph, where nothing will be heard but the praises and blessings of a hap- py people.—(7.ernal d. Peru.) His Majesty, the Emperor, has ordered, with a praisers►orthy liberality (300,000 livres), 12,001. to be distributed among the inhabitants in Le Vendee, whose property has been burned or plundered during the civil wars. This certainly is a very libetal and does honour to the ,;eneroas and ficlilig heart of his Majesty. but, unfortunately, it is not sulEcient to satisfy the demands and wants of a twentieth past of the sufferers in a country where a trirelln may pus days without seeing a countenance bespeaking happiness, or an individual Is-lose misery is not vi sible, and, where, in the spice of .t) leagues (30 miles), often not ten houses are seen standing, nor ;en acres of land cultivated. Rome was not built in one day ; it is impossible that the short, hut pa ternal government of the Emperor, could, with the most patriotic desires, have had time to repair in four years the ravages and ruin of ten. His intentions are, notwithstanding, equally laudable, and if the people are yet discontented and disafreded, it is to be ascribed to former habits, to the remembrance of past horrors, to the emissaries of England and of the Bourbons, and not to any complaint against the pre sent Government. If it be still necessary to conti nue severe measures, as martial law and special tri bunals, not long ago this and the neighbouring de partments shelved a spirit of mutiny, inclined to in surreaion ; and of their yonrg men, hundreds of the conscripts are still in chains, in prima, or in the galleys, for being refianory, and refusing to take up arms against their country's irreconcileable foes, the violators of the most sacred treaties, the British Government and nation. But even in exe cuting these measures of rigour, a moderation and humanity have been observed, which do equally les now. to the head and the heart of his Imperial Ma :,esty. Though several thousands have deserved death, hardly 300 have been executed, and t! , , , e only who have been known to be incorrigible fanatics in favour of the Botutiont, This po litical clemency has opened the eyes of many seduced inhabitants of these unfortunate coun tries, who now pray more sincerely for Na poleon the First, than they did Liz months ago fora pretended Louis XVIII. Even the most daffigeroastranatics among the clergy, who, unfor tunately, have too great all latilinCe over the people, evince signs of contrition and repentance, and will, therefo e soon, experience the Imperial benevolence, in as augmentation of their salaries. The conse quence is, that, during the last six decades, both the ►mprisonments, trials, and executions, have di minisbed in La Vendee.

'P FE BRITIII PRESS. LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 2G. Tile Middlesex I.:lc/Rion promises to prove a hard fought battle. The numbers, at the close of the poll yeLtera.ty, were. for Sir FRANCIS BuaoeTT, 1337 ;f o Mr. MAINKAKINO, 1238. Majority in favour of the latter, 1. Intelligence was yesterday received at the Ad miralty and at the India House, by His MAJESTY'S ship Calcutta, arrived at Portsmouth from Botany Bay, that she fell in with an American at sea, I ist from Batavia. The Captain of the Ame rican stated that Admiral Lisiour had arrived at iSatavia, for the purpose of re-fitting his squadron, having had a severs mgagnecat with etc homeward hood Chine ships in the straits of Su ids, in which our ships niaspletcly heal of his squadea.A. The American further stated, that Li :rots ha.' made an application to the Dutch Go vernment for a supply of stores, which they refused him, as he bad not funds to pay for them. The above account Is generally credited, as it is supposed the China fleet consists of IS ships, with probably a Man of War as convoy ; each of the China ships are of 1,100 tons burden, and carry 40 guns. Admiral Liao!, is supposed to have had only four ships badly manned. A similar account was also received at LLOYD'S. A private letter from Dublin, of the ‘2Oll July, says, " Serious apprehensions are entertained here of another Rebellion. It is suspottol, that -tartly' O'Conmos is in this kingdom. Government are making every possible search for him, as well as ma ny other traitors, who have either remained in the country, or returned to it, since the late rebellion." Pram the several small French Paper', which wt ezelrsr•rly receive, we have made some eztraßs, eon cerning the loyal, but unfortunate inhabitants of I.a Vendee. The one is taken from yourlal de Pjris, written by BONAP•IITI'll Senator, Raines* ; the other is traaslated from Is Gillen Frontal', the t.f-Sr.iAl Gazette of the tail cf the Jacobin "The appearance of these patsy-Alias in so short a tin-afar Coe :nurder of GEORtal , and other Roy. Alists, shows, that alas Ar 4r.1 has his fears of the Western department ; that Gtoatsas has not died in vain ; and that his assassin knows that his vidirn has avengers. What Roans► sae has written, is ordered by the French Governi tnent ; and what the Jacobins have put Ailed, eos , cerniog the former insurgent dep ! .tttneat, enslaved as the French press is, evinces, that the people of these cour.trics are as di.afrofted to Ronaysaves Government, as oppressed, plvildered, And insulted by Lis military slaves, Judges, Generals, And Com missaries. As it is honourable to the loyalty of the Vendeans, that neither punishment, nor rewards have been able to diminish or change their faith in their reli gion and their duty, so it is humiliating to the Cor sican tyrant to be reduced to the necessity of per chasing, without obtaining, the negative submis sion of sorae few isolated departments, whips: sway.; without opposition, his iron sceptre ov.,:r most continental states ; co.n:nands Emperor: to embrace him as an equal, ani Kings to bow to him AS a superic.7. The smallness of the sum bestowed to repair the numerous rains of whole provinces, when compared with the millions squandered away by the Usurper tipuit hi, base family. on feasts, dress. decorations, and opera dancers, proves the 14,,..raness of his divosition to do good, even sviscn is is commanded f l by his own interest. How great the demands of thelnhabitants iu La Vendee for succour, from a government really paternal, must be, may easly be conceived, when it is remembered, that in the Summer and Autumn, 1'44-, the Republican Gene ral, laid waste the whole country, to the extent of twenty leagues ; . sixty miles). burned every town and village, and lef: every house and cottage in ashes! People surrounded by these minutiae:As of destruc tion, must always continue irreconcilable to their tyrants; they may be kept quiet by terror, but can never be gained over, either by bribes cr persuasions. We have recci4.l letters from Paris of the 12th inst. which mention, as one of the causes of the post. 1 ponement of the Caronatioa of Bomaraara to the gth of neat November ; that the usurper has an nounced at the late diplomatic audience of the Bth instant, his confident expeaation, that before that period, he shall have negotiated or cer.quered a peace. 'fa LLST &OD has, besides, Waited to several of his employers, stock jobbers, and financiers, that the peace of the world was in embryo al ready i n his port-follo, and that a Russian as well as an English Ambassador would ad , -ra the Coronation of NAPOLEON the nem It is known at Paris, that this Minister an.i his favourites have, for upwards of three- months, specidated in the French ferule, upon a prospea of a peace ; and that several members of the BONAP A RTZ family have joined with them in this speculation. "We must, however, remember. that. about footuen months ago, or at the late rupture betweca this e,,untry and France, BONAPARTE, at a public audi ence of his senators and tribunes, said, that this war would be of short duration, as the King of Este- Lama would soon be obliged to give up Malta in exchange for. Hanover. Great, or rather fortunate warrior, as the Corsican is, his political ignorance equals his presumption; and he has always esti mated the spirit of Great Britain by the standard of Italy and Germany; be nattered himself los would be able to purchase, mislead, or intimidate, a King of ENGLAND as easily as a King of Payssta, and that he might &date to the Cabinet of St James's as helicfprescribed to that of Berl' a and Madrid. Certain it is. however, that his political intriguers have already taken the field, and that Mame more to apprehend from them than from Ids military slaves opposite our coasts. In Italy as well as in Germany, in Holland as well as in Switzerland, and in every other country, the ruin or conquest of which has been the plan of French revolutionary tyrants; serpents have preceded tigers, and politi cal incendiaries have always been the advanced guard of their armies. To prevent insurtenions breaking out in his disatfesgted camps, or disaffec 11 - tion spreading in his enslaved provinces, the usurper has no alternative but a peace or an invasion. We have, therefore, as much in our power to dilate the former, as to defeat the latter ; and to snake the situation of BosAPARre as humi liating as it is desperate. Let us not renounce, to some temporary coacessions, those advantages our valour and pa:l-intim have intended and organised for the welfare of future ages& Let us beware as much of the plots of the tyrant's negaciators, as we defy aad despise the threats and boasts of his sol diers ; and we will then soon have it in our power to restore Europe its lost liberty and independence, in commanding, a peace upon our own terms.
