tined FOR the benefit CT the wounded, The FIRST
article communicated is a report to Bonaparte
himself from count Larboissiere, his orderly

$4,000 men. to restore the country to orders

In report from the orderly officer Planat,
to Ronaparte, dated Montauban, June 5, it is
said among other things, " the spirit of the
people IN the department of the Tarn and
Garonne is extremity bad the words coun-
try, glory, indie pend nee, national cause, are
there objects Of ridicuie."
In report from the orderly officer Resg-
nv, dated Bordeaux, we read the following
among other statements -" The popular
feeling at Bordeaux is, / Can assure your
majesty, detestahle-lt at present seems to
be peaceabe; but it can in no respect be de-
pended upon. Attachment to the Bourbons
is here extreme among the men, and among
the women it has risen to a kind of fanaticism.
The authorities are afraid OF adopting severe
| measures. because they themselves might be-
come the victims of them. The royalist par
ty has already the people wholly on their
SIDE, and are not sparing of their gold The
extraordinary commissioner has effected no
| good in this part of the country He says,
we must gain time if the emperor is VIC
tciious, all Will so well, without adopting Sc
we're measures but If he is vanquished, all
that has been done will be Of no avail The
royal confederation is much more Formidable
than was thought, though for a long time it
was desmed ridiculous. The arrival of the
| king of Naples in France, winch has been
known here these three days, has produced
| the worst impression"
Fleury, cabinet secretary of Ronaparte,
