Nantes, 7 Pluviose, January 25.

The work of pacification advances every day. The chiefs return to the cities; that body of the rebels is dispersing; many are laying down their arms.

The inhabitants of the country, tired of the scourges of war, arm themselves and rise, in many places against the rebels. The confidence which the government inspires is complete.

It is said that Georges, who commands in Morbihan, feeling the impossibility of a longer resistance offers to submit. One way or other he will soon be disarmed. Many communes have sent their arms to General Muller. General Travot proceeds with equal activity and success in peaceably disarming the Vendeans.

General Brune set out on the fourth at eleven o'clock in the morning, with an escort of 25 guides mounted on horseback for Morbihan. He takes Vannes in his way. The bad state of the roads has obliged him, as well as General Debelle, to send back the carriages which they brought for the journey, and they have continued their route on horseback.

General Grigney is expected every moment with the column he commands.

Copy of a letter of General Girardon to Gen. Sahuguet.

To day M. Bourmont came in the name of his division to surrender himself. His soldiers are to be immediately disbanded.

It is hoped that M. de la Prevalaye, whose division is in Ille and Vilaine, will not long delay to follow his example. The division of Bourmont is that which has most of those men calling themselves warriors who are accustomed to pillage, and who may for some time continue to molest us. The disbanding of all the division of Chatillon is completed.

There was some difficulties in the business which nearly proved fatal to the chiefs: their men before departing, wished to see the accounts of the requisitions in money and these accounts it was difficult to produce.
