who, during the late war, for the third timy, pa-
cIhed La Vendee, has at length fallen vic i'm
To his merciless prosecutors. His Judges were
selected out OF his most avowed enemies count
de Viomeni, general Caruel, and NJ D. Arti-
champ, men whom for these last 90 years he has
been in the habit of meeting in the field, men
whom he had fought, defeated, and more than
| once saved from the fate of those taken in arms
| against their country.
The projects, it must be allowed, vie with each

application of means calculated to concilatc no.

The merchant Judged it prudent to sign the

quietly to Beaune, where he may daily expect the
payment of the bill to be enforced upon him. for

will be found sufficient for the purpose
