A new Vendee is breaking out; the Jacobins in that country have avowed themselves the friends of Moreau, he is their countryman in a wide sense and the consequent enemy of Bonaparte. The walls of Rennes are every night covered with Placards, bearing these energetic words—Vive Moreau! Guerre a Bonaparte! To these exclamations are also added the most violent invectives against the first consul. Mouncer, the new prefect knows not what to do—he is thunderstruck—he had however, the resolution to remove from within his jurisdiction a demi-brigade, which had manifested a very emphatical opinion in favor of Moreau: but the removal alluded to, did, by no means, do away the object of complaint—for the Bretons, to a man, wish to see Moreau at the head of affairs.
