PROM Till UAZETTI OVFICIELLge • 44 Louis &c. es We have learnt with grief, that hi the depart ments of the South, several of our subjects were ie. cently guilty of the most culpable excesses ; that under pretext of constituting themselves the Ministers of public vengeance, Frenchmen, gratifying their hatred and their private revenge, had shed the bh'od of Frenchmen, even since our authority has been uni. venally restored and recognised throughout the whole extent of our kingdom. " Certainly great crimes and infamous treasons have been committed, and have plunged France in an abyss of evils : atrocious persecutions have been atiereisad against'oolse cit - our faithful subjects, who; A following the.bantiers * ofour dear nephew , have cou rageously endeavoured with him to save France; hot the punishment of 'these crimes ought to be national, solemn, and regular: the guilty ought to fall under the se/o4of the law, and not under the hand of in- , dividuals._ It would .be an offence against justice, perpetuating discord, and opening the door for a thou sand disorders ; and it would be overthrowing social order to constitute one's self at once judge and exe cutioner for Offences received,, or even for crimes com mitted against our person. Our intentions and our orders have sufficiently made known that the nation shall have justice on the authors of these evils; and that the indulgence which has been granted to weakness or to error, shall not be extended to the guilty, whose public and avowed . criminality may be punished w;diout exciting alarm is the crouds mho have obeyed, at the same time groaning under the force of circumstances.. We hope that this odious enterprise of preventing the ac tion of that laws and of our authority, has entirely ceased. It will be considered as an attack upon us and upon France ; and, however painful, nothing shall prevent us from punishing such crimes. " Our worthy nephew, whise name is intimately connected with the sentiments of love and affection manifested by our provinces of the South, who by his character of obedience, conciliation, and strength, has preserved them, and stilt preserves them, irons the evils of invasion, shall also be our ro.:ndatory to save them from civil discord, and to repress apd pu nish those who shall dare teabuse hilts!. our, name. But, doubles, the noble tie, the noble c..nnettion established between him ind the inhanitants of the South, shah not be broken by the dalplbility of men eager for vengeance and disorder. .

Yesterday his Majesty took his usual airing from tour till six o'clock. The Count d'Artois hunted yesterday in the Park of St. Germain. 'lle Duke d'Angnuleme WAS at Toulouse when the last accounts came away. It is expected be will. visit Perpignan. On the 27th of August General Miollis discharged the regiment of lancers who composed part of the garrison of Metz. Verdun is still occupied by the French troops.— The Russians is the environs enter the town to pur chase their provisions and necessaries, and return to their cantonments in the evening. Valenciennes and CarnbrAy are both, as well as their adjacent towns,.in a state of compleat tranquil. lity. Two battalions of the .Belgic troops who gar risoned Perone, arc pow on their road to Paris. The Austrian garrison at Lyons do their dtity with a zeal which deserves remark. They conduct them belies in the best manner towards the inhabitants. A strong column of Prussian troops, both infantry and cavalrt, passed through Bourriere yesterday ' morning, on their route to join the sth division of the artily in Normandy. They announce from Vesoul, that a suspension of arms has been concluded between the Austrians and the French gartison of -Htininguen. The armistice is only to continue while a couriel can come to Paris and return brick with the commands of the King of Franco and ,the Emperor of Austria. (Attend Vatathimme was met es the Seth ult. atOat two 'leagues from Limoges, in a Win and four: it ts cis I posed he was going to Chatestureur. Several French regiments have left Limoges for Clermont and N vrt, witere they will be disbanded. The Grand Duke o,nstantine is expected here about the middle nt this month. The King having ordered Marshal Moncey, Duke of Corregliano, to preside as the most ancient Mar shal at the Court-martial to be heti on Marshal NI and he h.tvi , ig refilled it without any reasonable mound, has been casLiered t and to be imprisoned for three months. , We were sorry to see dis uppointment in the fac-s of so many elegant Le!/e: yesterday, who were flock ing in crowds about twelve o'clock to the Champs. Elysees, in hopes of being reviewed as well•as the Russian troops. Those ladies should recollect, that . soldiers are not so long putting themselves in review order as sky are ; :,,or can the Emperor Alexander keep his men broiling under a mid-day sun, while they are dlccupieil at their toilets in adjusting an eye-brow or krustiy-sitot.—Ladies, you must get up earlier, or you will see no reviews. WE do not know from' what authority a French paper gives the following : 41 An English Officer, named John Allinson, was shot list week at Cher. boars by a sentinel, after he had answered his call. The Officer lived 36 both afterwards, during which tune he never ceased requesting mercy to be shewn to the soldier, who was arrested and carried before Council of War. In his defence he said he mistook him for a Prussian; whom he suspected to have come in disguise into the city." The celebrated sculptor Canova is arrived in Paris. COMER EXTRAORDINAMY Of SATURDAY MORNING. His Majesty has addressed a letter to the Vicars of the Diocese of Paris, in which he commands them to offer up solemn and expiatory prayers for the coun try, during its afflictions. In right of priority Marshal Jourdan will 6U the place of Marshal Muncey as President of the Council of War, which is to sit in judgment upon Ney. The Emperor of Austiia yesterday visited the King. The two Sovereigns remained about an hour together. The Duchess d'Angoul , .,me has left Bourdeanx to join the Duc d'Angoulelm, who is at Perpignan. The report of the arrival of a courier, as the bearer of a Treaty of Peace, ratifi?d by England, gains ground, and, it is added, that orders are already given not to obey, in future, any requisitions, but ,those made by the French Authorities. Atixonne capitulated on the 28th. Verdun and Thionviile refuse to surrender. The fortress of Huninguen has capitulated. The garrison is to proceed to the banks of theaLoire. MsME:'. l , AUGUST 26. The Prefect of the I)4f:same& of the Gard to his Fellow-Citizens : Frenchman, Inhabitints of Nimes and of Gard—On the 306 of July last I addressed you'in tie language of reason, law, and truth ; you seemed to listen with pleasure and with confidence. Never theless, new troubles agitate your country, and even this very night several assassinations, the criminal authors of which, hide themselves in darkness, have filled the inhabitants of Nismes with consternation, deceived the vigilance of our National Guards, and deeply torn the 'mane of your magistrates. u Unknown agitators deceive the people,.and lead them astray by audacious provocations, chimerical terrors, aid absurd intelligence : . they even abuse their love lor•the King, to inspire a passionate and credulous class, disquietude even as to the personal safety of the Sovereign, defiances of his power and justice, and terrors for the future. ft They deceive you—they precipitate you into an abyss of evils—And, although without hope, (their wishes being for ever annihilated), they thus avenge themselves upon you for the ruin of their horrible power. They wish to drag you into the same gulph into which they have been dragged themselves by the indignation of men and the vengeance of HILAVILN. "I ask of you only t*o things :—Do not be afraid of what they can do. Do not believe a word they say. 64 The King is in his capital, seated on his august throne more securely than ever; surrounded by the love and absolute devotion of more than 20 millions of faithful subjects, the veneration of all Europe, and *v •Erection of all Sovereigns. •6 Bonaparte is already transported two thousand leagues.from the shores of Europe, and on an insu laced rook, goes to expiate in the torments of an im becile rage the crimes of his life, and the misfortunes of the wrsid. •' The Members of his beggarly farfly, who have takeavart in his sacreligions enterprize, are dispersed and imprisoned in various fortresses of France and Europe. N The poor child you hear of, the vain phantom whit which the factious menace you, is not recognized by the• Emperor of Austria, nor by any of the Coati neat:4l Powers. 66 Ttie sword of the law is already raised on the heads of the chiefs of the horrible plot. II Royal justice . begins to strike the most guilty. The King has announced, that he wishes the national justice slwuld be completely satisfied by the repre sentations of the nation itself, assembled in the two Chambers, which are about to meet. Wait, therefore, for this great and secure justice. 4. Inhabitants of • Gard, chew obedience to the Kings to the laws, to . the Civil and Military Ayala- I Min e and yon will immediately find Nate and hil t pineu, riches and ininstry, security for indiviJu • Is, protection of property—iu a wurd, every thing cannot exist with'anarchy.

The mention made of the place having been given up by orders of the KtNo, seems to amount to an adwission that the other fortresses which still ref use to admit the Allies, are acting in opposition to the command of the King, though they have hoisted the suhiteflog. BRUSSELS, AUGUST 30. The Prussians have occupied the citadel of Sed.?n ...the Governor had hoisted the white flag, and has given up the fortress to the Allies by the express order of the King of France. This is the first ex ample of the kind, and this circumstance gives to various conjectures. On the other hand, Prince Augustus of Prussia is preparing to attack Mont medy. The Governor, supported by the mutinous spirit of his soldiers, seems disposed to resit; but this opera tion cannot be of long duration. The bombardment of Charlemont has commenced. It is very difficult to approach this place, and the gairison is lodged in bomb-proof casemates. In the Arderloes there are sell some bands cf arm. ed men, who from time to time attack, not only the soldiers of the Allies, but even the inhabitants of the open country. Those who are taken with arms in their hands are hanged upon the spot. Th:s morning we received Boston Papers to the 2d ult. The Pal/at:him of the Ist announces the ar rival of the Favcurite brig, Captain FOSTER ) from England, bringing London Papers to the 25th June, from which they had extracted the whole of the London Gaz-tie, containing the p:rticulars of the an nihilation of BONAPARTE'S army; —the American Editor merely states the fact, but makes no political obsetvations aikatever u i .on the subject; whether he had not tine, or the coinplczion of the news not being congenial to his feeling, we cannot at present de ; lost we are of opinion the sentirromtb of our transatlantic neigEbours %% ill be mattrially altered respecting their old Mend EnNAPAR THE JAMAICA FLEET.
