Sim., 20.—When Murat occupied
himself with uniting to: his kingdom the Papal
Territorii,, he took,' great pains to seduce the
(:11-rgy and inhabitants Of Ancona. He made, in
particular, some rich presents to the Chapter of
Our Lady of Lorrtto ; but the. Chapter, never-
theless, remained faithltil- to the Holy, Father,
and constantly refused to offer up for 'him and
his 'familY.., the Fiiyers: ‘vhiCh are' adapted to
croiVlned ,freads.' When the Ex-• King effected
Iris "r he demanded back' "front .the 'Chap-
r'er-•-'tlierdiainiinils, and a crown of precious
slontYl'whic.li the Virgin wore on great so-
lein'n-i'ties. :File carrying off of: these valuables
effected by I.:rce of arms. Colonel lionfidi
v-,is entrusted 'uith the operation ; btit having
'fled. with Mitrat,' he was.pursued, and with dif-
ficulty' escaped with' his life only from the Maak
of: his eneznies. The casket was almw.lotted, and
it was long thought that all the, rfches which lie
had carried off were irrecoverably lost.. On the
.15th itts(„ani, some peasants, digging_ ditches
around a' field near the -highway, found a casket,.
and having seen the' cyphers. of our Saviour and
•the Virgin Mary on its covering, they thought
they liad fottmni some relics, and they took them
the nearest Church.. , The Arch Priest of St.
Michael haying recognised theinas treasures
of 9er Lady of Loretto, the Pontifical4uthorities
immediately ordured solemn prticesSi'?ii and pub-
lic thanksgivings, and the wn and
jewels were formally restored.'{

Such is the title of a pamphlet lately published
•in Paris, and fiat which 'the following are ex-
tracts
Two anonymous fnatinseripts have been for
some 41 rte in circulation, under the title of Re •
ports to the li:big, by the Minister of General Police.
They excite the curiosity of all parties, who take
new copies of-them for' the purpose of thro.,viug
again into`eircolation, with commentaries,
of which the least inconvenience is, that of- keep
ing itit ag-itation in the public mind, and foment-
ing new distnrbanceS. The Minister, it is true,
has form:illy disavowed them In the Journals."
" In the first R.eliort no Moderation, is observ-
ed : it seems as if the author had had only the
doable object of compelling the Allied Sovereigns
to depart from their uniform prudence,..and of.
alarming apowerless monarch.
" In the second Report 'all, is exaggeration,
falsehood, and perfidy. \Ve recognise in it the
whole spirit and the very phrases of Carnot's fa-
tuous Memorial, hawked about in 151.1 in the
same wav ; nay,we recognise the very phrases of
Mehee'sDenuncictfion, primed at the saute period.
We recollect, howyeer, the indignation
which these two writings, identified in their prin-
ciples and authors, excited in the true friends of
the Klutz. The catastrophe of the 20th of March,
the proclamations of the Usurper at Lyons and in
the capital, do not permit us any longer to doubt
with what view Carnot and Melale addressed to
the King their seditious"declamations, which pro-
cured for the one the Ministry_ot the InreHor,
and for the other, it is said, a 'post with 12;000
franks. .
" \Ve recollect also the queue of Robespierre,
notorious in France shortly after Che memorable
e: eats of 'l:humidor, year 11. The two Repot is
calumniously ascribed to the Minister of Police,.
are the queue of .Cornot and Mehee. And let it
not he said, that because they are ill manuscript
and 41nony:nous, they are therefore harmless.—,
For a Immth past they have been hawked about
the public' looms ; they penetrate into the pro- ,
vinces, and even into country ruts they are
sold by stealth in the midst of the c.-Tital. A
certain English newspaper •publislies- shreds of
them,* The venom circulates everywhere.

minister the antidote

" r 'HST REPDRT..—Sire, The ravages of France are at their
height. They ruin, lay waste, and destrOv," &c.
" 'chic gloomy picture, applicable only to the
great roads'which have beets traversed by the allied
troops, and to the bordering comMtIIICS. The
other commuoss, have indeed been more or less
exhausted by requisitions in kind,' and contribu jl
-
tions in money ; but these calamitieti are insepa-
rable from every military invasion. Whatever
may be the discipline of an army, it always leaves
some traces of disor.ler on its passage. One
thing certain is, that the Allies have nut entered
amongst us with the torch in their hand. W4tere-
eveithey found adequate 'subsistence, they have
been seen generally to observe an exact discipline.
In exhausied districts some soldiers have been
guilty of excesses, which derived some palliatiou
from their wants, and which have been almost
always repressed by their' Chiefs when they were
lammed of them.
" In Artois, in Flanders, in Picardy, the farmer
has peaceably gut in his harvest without experiene-.
ingeither damage, delay, or alarm. The Same
has been the case in Normandy, in almost all the
'provinces of the south, and it: many of the cen-
tral provinces. The departments; where array
corps have been quartered, are the only ones
where the harvest have been retarded, by mime-
rotis requisitions of horses and carters. Hut at
last Providence has condescended to mitigate, iu
their behalf, the rigours of necessity by the bless-
ing of a purersky, a temperature without scorch-7
ing heat, and a long succession of fine weather.--
Now- the whole harvest is saved, and rely few
'farmers, with the exception of those bordeihig
on the great roads, have been -eedneed to the
severe necessity of letting their crops perish in the
fields.
" Figure to yourself what a million-of armed
men, intoxicated with victory, having 15 years of
defeats, calamities, and outrages to avenge, might
have done among the French, who had to oppose
to them only the fragments of a fugitive and van-
quished army : then see what they have dune, and
see what,is to be thought of a writing which con-
tains such impudent assert.ous as the following :
'' Tins war (that of the Allies) undertaken fox the triumph
of moderation and justice,- wit! equal the barbarism of 'those
deplorable and too fatuous invasions of which history recaps
the recollection with horror."
" The author proceeds :
" The Sovereigns know, the state of intelligence in France:
\o reasoning, no sort of blunder, no !dad of knowledge. es-
cape the penetration of this people,",&c.
The Reporter is a very impatient man. hie
thinks that the alliance of ten independent
Save-
. almost all divided from one another by '
great distances and great interests, that such an
alliance is formed
.and dissolved in a twinkling.
He thinks that 1,200,000 armed men, marching
• from the extremities of Europe, and entering by
echelons at almost all points of France, pass and
disappear like the shades.of a magic lanthorn.
" According to the reporter, doubtless, all the
Allied Sorttreigns, immediately after the arrival
of ,the King in his capital, should huge given or-
tiers for their troops to retrograde. Let ns 'sup-
_pose, that they hail laid down their arms the day
after the re-entrance
.of the King,intothe Tut-
leries, that the King remained amidst the frag-
ments of the n'ench army,, amidst the elements
of a Chamber. of Representatives which bad trans-
.formed itself into a National Convention---treat
God ! what would have been the fate of the'
Prince I. what would have been our's ! Alt ! let.
us bless Providence, let us thank the augtist Sove-
reigns. who felt it necessary, on their own ac-
counts as well as our's, to remain in France, at
least till the disbanding of the French army, and
'till the installation the•new Deputies. "
" Has the Reporter forgotten, that fin- several
successive days the seditious shouted Vive l'EM-
pereur, under the very windows of the Kin;;'?

It was (fit-limit. to outrage the Conquerors with
