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

litical clemency has opened the eyes of many

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. (Le Caves Enseesis.)
