Several private letters have been lately alluding to dreadful scenes transacting in the South of France, and which have assumed the character of a horrible persecution of the Protestants. We were unwilling to credit such reports, while circulated merely in the shape of rumours, but they are now mentioned in the French Journals, and even in the public document.. The extract of a Proclamation, issued by the Com mander of the Ninth Military Division, at Montpel lier, avowedly alludes to the persecution of the Pro testants; and we can, therefore, no longer doubt the truth of these enormities, some of which are detailed in the Bulletin of Nismts. Private letters state the number of victims, not at hundreds even, but at thousands I The principal instigators and agents call theMselves Royalists ! Alas for the cause of Louts and the BOURBONS, if this be true !—but we have lived long enough to learn, that the cry of a'mob has no more to do with the secret motives of the prime agents, than the skill of a watch-maker has with causing the revolutions of that luminary which tells us the hour by the shadow on the sun-dial. We are not, however, without our fears, that one set of men who ought to inculcate a very different spirit, not only from reli gious feeling, but from gratitude to their Sovereign, will be found deeply engaged in these disgraceful and hellish proceedings. If such be the first effect that men are led to experience from their returning influence, all good men will be led not only to desire, but to labour for its entire overthrow. The POP/ may enjoin certain statesmen in foreign countries, may encourage, and bigots May desire, the re•establishment of the Jesuits. Priests may use their influence to induce individuals to protest against poli tical constitutions guaranteeing freedom of worship : but they betray miserable ignorance who can persuade themselves that the potentates of the earth, statesmen, and the mass of mankind generally, will ever submit again w the rule, the dominion, and the tyranny of Priests. His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT left town yesterday, at two o'clock, attended by General BLOOMFIELD, on a tour into the West of 4 England,&c. After the grand dinner at Carlton-house on Tues day, the company retired to the lower suite of rooms, where they listened to a concert performed by the Duke of You's Band in the Conservatory. The Royal party did not break up till a late hour. The Duchess of CUMBERLAND, it is said, speaks tolerably good English. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND travelled from Dover to Londaa with a numerous suite, which occupied eight carriages, each drawn by four horses. - The Duke of BOURBON arrived id London this forenoon. He came from the Fredch Capital by Boulogne and Dover. The Marquis of STAFFORD, we are sorry to state, has lately had a serious attack of a spasmodic com plaint, and continues datigirously ill at his seat, Trentham ball, in Staffordshire. Upon his being taken ill, an express was immediately forwarded to the Marchioness, at Dunrobin Castle, in Sutherland:hire. DEATH OF THE EARL OF CHESTIERFIELDo.—AR ex press arrived about five o'clock yesterday afternoon, at Chesterfield House, May-fair, from kis Lordship's sear, Bradby Hail, Derbyshire. with the melancholy intelligence that his Lordship died there on Tuesday evening, about seven o'clock. He has left issue two daughters and one son, Lord Srautiors, who, at the age of ten years, now succeeds his Lordship in his titles and estates. His Lordship had been unwell for some time, but was not considered in any danger till a few days since, when Dr. BAII.UE was sent for, who remained with him till his dissolution. This no bleman was. at the time of his death, in his 60th year : he WAS twice/married. first to ANNE, daughter of THOMAS THISTLETHWAITE, D. D. of Narman-court, Hants, by whom he had one daughter, who is since dead, and afterwards to Lady HENRIETTA THYNNI, sister to the Marquis of BATH, by whom he had the son and two daughters who survive him. His Lord. ship, who was the fifth Earl, was but distantly re lated to his celebrated predecessor, being descended from ARTHUR STANHOPE, sixth sow of the said Earl, wit.) obtained the title in the year 16'28. His Lord ship had not been in town for more than two years previous to his death. The Noble Earl was equally remat kable for the virtues of the Nobleman and the Christian, and may be justly said to have fulfilled all the duties implied - by his motto—. 4 Dee tt By this event a garter is vacant.

The following are the chief arti cles of their contents : BRUSSELS, AUGUST 26. We have just been favoured with a sight of 'the very gracious letter which his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of Great Britain, &c. wrote on the 7th of July last, to his Excellency the Hanoverian Lientenant-General,, Sir Charles Alten, who was severely wounded in the battle of the 18th of June. The following are the contents : " George, Prince Regent, acting for and in the name of his Majesty, our father, George 111. by the grace of GOD, King, am communicates to you . by these presents, our gracious intentions. 14 Noble, beloved, and loyal, if on the one hand we are deeply afflicted at the considerable loss which our Hanoverian corps, confided to your orders, has suffered in the memorable battles of the IGth and 18th of last month, we have had reason, on the other hand, to feel peculiar satisfaction in learning the en logiums which you bestow in your account, upon the distinguished courage and bravery of our valiant Hanoverians, a testimony upon which we set the higher value, as it comes from you, from a General Aso has combated in so Many battles for his country and the good cause, and has constantly distinguished himself by his talents and l.'s bravery. go It very sincerely ard:cts us to see you among the number of those who arc wounded ; and it is, how ever, with pleasure that we perceive you were able to retain the command of your troops, and that you have the hope of being entirely recovered in a few weeks. " We have been very glad at receiving, with your narration, the copy of the report which you made on the 20th of last month► to our. beloved brother the Duke of Cambridge, upon the said battles, by which we have been perfectly informed of the plan of the battle and of 411 the circumstances which have ac companied it. It will be the object of our particular solicitude to recompence all those who have glo riously distinguished themselves before the enemy, and we certainly shall not fail also to provide for the widows and orphans of those who have fallen, fight ing fur their country. We wait for this end, only for the proposals of our beloved brother the Duke of Cambfrdge, whom your farther reports will soon enable to realize our intentions. " We charge you to express to the Hanoverian army under your command, our entire satisfaction with their good conduct in the said battles ; assuring you, at the same time, that it is perfectly well known to me how much is to be ascribed to the talents and bravery with which you commanded them.—lt is with sentiments of affection and favour, &c. &c. (Signed) " GEORGE, PRINCE RECENT. barium }101.6C, J my 7, 1613." . Moir having given the General such a flattering mark of his esteem, his Koyai highness h.is detgned by a later resolution, to corer tai - on him and his descendants the title of Count, as a rucompenct for his distinguisbed services in the war in Spain and in the battle of Waterloo. His Royal Highness has been further pleased to testifz his high satisfaction with the Hanoverian troops who were present in this last battle, and to per• mit them to bear, like the Eriglish troops, on their colours and on their uniforms, the word Waterloo. .

It was pretended that lie asked permission of the Archduke John to go to Huninguen, in order to give the Governor the tormal order of the King to deliver op the fortress to the Allies, but it is more prob Able that this journey related to some object of the admi nistration. It is affirmed that a general Government is going to be established at Colmar. KOMIR, AUGUST if.

He was arrested at Paris by order of M. Gruner, Director of the General Police, who has sent him to Wesel.— Thus what the Journals have so frequently announced without foundation, is at length true. AIX-LA•CHAPELLE, AUGUST 19. Counsellor Ribbentrop, the Iritendant‘Generei of the Prussian Army, has caused the following letter to be officially inserted in our Journal of this day t Eaaon CORRECTED.-. 411 the 209th number et the Frankfort Gazette, I find a letter in my name, dated Julylls, according to which the connibutiGn of 100 millions of francs is said to be diminished to eight millions. This publication did not proceed from my pen, and must absolutely be founded on a' mistake, since up to this moment nobody has thought of any abatement of the above-mentioned military contribution ; but, on the contrary, the extortions which the cities of Berlin and Vienna, as well as many considerable towns of the Russian Em pire, had to endure from the administration of the French armies, are still far too deeply felt and re membered by the Austrians, Prussians, and Russians, fur them to be willing to spew such indulgence to the metropolis of Fronde, ornamented with the trea sures of plundered Nations. 1 am, however, the anther of the paragraph inserted immediately after this publication, according to which a present of 60,000 francs offered to me was put into the military chest, and all such offers of presents forbidden in the 'aegociations with Pfussian office' S. 41 RIBBINTROPP. a- -•-climerai of the Ural ProsolanAnny.
