hoped he would make every effort with the troops he
postessed, not having a man to spare. These Officers,
speak with confidence of the success of the 13ourbon•
cause, whiCh had 65.000 armed supporters in La
Vendee alone; and that the. white flag was flying at

" The delivery of Maria Louisa, in spite of the most delicatb
precautions, was extremely difficult; and there was a moment
Ivolisa the Princess was supposed to be lost. With the pertnis-
gm of bet august spouse, they made use of instruments, and
this skilful operation effected the delivery. The mother was
'saved, but the little girl which she brought Into the world was
dead before its birth ; its body was eptirely mutilated, and a valet
de chambre was ordered to bury it with the most profound se-
crecy. However, 4 the Emperor and King' wanted a son at all
events. • As be is naturally sufficiently resolute, be had taken
measures before-band, and Cainbaceres, the virtuous prop of lain

Princess had a little come to bersa, they told her with confi-
dence-t-" Here is the fine Prince whom you have given to us."
This Prince was entirely innocent of all that Maria Louisa had

embraced him for the first time. The King of Route was, on
