It is not alone the 13eputies who are grieved at the peace, but the greates t part, if not the whole of the nation. They consider the whole treaty as a degra clndir.:', old even as injustice, of which they are the victims, pretending that such a treaty was never seen, and that such conditions never were pat, even by them, upon any nation; for, besides that it appears from the whole that the keys of Franee remain in possession of the Allies, as well in respect of the oc cupation of the country as of the finances, they find it unjust that the requisitions made by the Allies in France are not deducted from the contributions. It it is generally acknoMedged that France has no means of maintaining itsell but by a strict fulfilment Of the treaty, but particutilly respecting the pay. anent of the contributions, in ureic: to binder the sale of the inscriptions._ The dipininatit Note prelented by the foreizu Mi. nEters to the Duke de Richelieu has contributed to calm the fears of a certain party, who have always apprehended that the reptl authority would become alri.o.ute, and not account itself bound by any con stitution. Though the Treaty of Peace does not mention the occupatiup of Paris, by the letters it is affirmed that the Duke of Wellington will have his head-quarters there, and in Paris and the neiglabourhnofilEnglish troops, some say 50;000 men,*a number about equal to the national guard ok Paris. LAUSANNE., NOVEMBER 28. A private letter- imbm Nismes, of November 22, contains the following particulars: The greatest fermentation continues to prevail in this city ; however, no new excesses have been committed. Since the return of the Duke d'Angou leme, the severest measures are taken to keep down the malcontents. This Prince has shewn in our un happy situation the finest character, and has ob tallied a title to the gratitude of all honest people.— Fresh scenes are however dreaded. The National Guard, which has been ordered to be disbanded, re fuses to lay down their arms. 44 A new legion is organising, and givei hopes. The Colonel is an honest man. sg Notwithstanding the orders of his Royal High. ness, the Protestant churches were not opened again on the 19th, on account •of the fresh crowds which threatened 'to disturb their worship. The Prince is writ:oo Valence, but we hope that he will return by Friday the 21. th. The Prefect himself shews ulna 'courage and loyalty. The following is the Procla :nation he has published upon the late scenes: "lsmes, Novoillwr 1 . 1, I RI 5. a The King Is the Mier of all Em:lnnen, faithful and obe dient to the laws of the State, whitever worship they protess.— Tlw free exercise of-the different forms of worship, and liberty of conscience are insured by the Charter which lie has given to his people. The. King pardons errors ; bat I.is 3t.vereign justice will strike crimes and revolt o herever they shall appear. His Royal Highness has learnt with grief and indignation the viola• ,lation of the Kill's orders and of the laws of the kingilion, by die insult and violence deue to the worsliiirand churches ot the Protestants, and the odious assassins itni c ))))) nutted by a villain upon the person of the General commanding the Department. His punishment alone, as I travis already told you, can purify this chi, and atone for the fermentation. He has disgraced the ranks ot the national guard, and it ought to have come forward and expressed its horror ot this crime. The conduct of this guard, which I praised a few days ago, has been dubious and vaecilating on this occasion. " A new organization will secure to :lie Department, to the city, and to the Magistrates, OE essential services of this branch of the public force, the lint duty of which is the maintenance of order and of obedience to the Magistrates. (Signed) • " The Pact rc r of the Gams." FRANKVORT, pECEAUSER I. _ Several incidents having retarded the conclusion of a new Treaty with France till the 20th of November ; and as the ratifications cannot be exchanged for some time, on account of the distance of the Sovereigns, the territorial arragements which concern Germany could not be regulated at Paris, but it has been agreed that they should he settled at Frankfort. The ques tions which remain to be decided on this head will be the first object of the attention of the Ministers who are 'now here. When this affair is terminated the Diet will be formally opened. Several of the Ministers and Envoys to the Ger man Diet are not yet arrived, but they ale expected very soon, and when they are here there will be con ferences and preliminary deliberations, to wive as a preparation for the formal opening of the Diet. DECEMBER 2.—The Prince ltoyal of the Nether. lands arrived here this morning, and will proceed to morrow to . Berlin. Prince Hardenberg departed this morning far Ber lin, where he will arrive on the 7th. Lord Clancarty arrived yesterday. BRW.SEI.q, DECEMBER 2. The Commandant of the fortress of Thiontrille took advantage lof the moment when it was deoloe. jaded to send off alarge train of artillery, with a ku an tity of arms and military stores, out of the for tress to Mctz ; but the Prussian General being made acquainted with it, demands that the fortress shall be immediately given up to him, in the sable state it, was in before. 1t is Armed that orders are already given to comply with thii demand. We see here persons continually arrive from France who have acted a mere or less prominent part in the late trou-1 hies. Among them is a General and many superior Officers. They all think of settling here. . life. 6.—Letters from Mons state that Conde, Va.: lenciennes s . and Bouchain, are not yet occupied by allied troops, and it is believed at Mons that they will' not be so before the 15th of this mouth. The long and mournful catalogue of human fol• lies in this age of reason and philosophy has been in. creased by another instance of superstition, similar to that we lately recorded. A woman of 68 was, on the 18th of October, enticed into the house of a publican at Bellighim, whose child it was pretended she had bewitched, and there she was placed befortl a fire, and cruelly burnt and beaten with broomsticks.

By the accounts from Stutgard, k appears that the KjNU and the States are beginning to under stand one another a little better. We expect soon to hear of matters being arranged in that quarter to the satisfaction of all patties; for the dispute has been in some measure about terms and forms rather than realities.

FRENCH PROtESTANTS: By accounts from Nismes of the 22d ultit iO. it ap pears that the greatest fermentation still prevails in that city. We are now informed that the•Natieltal ; Guards,'who have been ordered to be disbanded, refuse to lay down their arms. This is very intelligible• These men have yet some work to perform. for they have Pot yet completely extirpated all the Protestants! Can we wonder at the Protestants hesitating to deliver up their ptivate arms, when in the midst of armed men, who avow their intention to extirpate them ? We only wonder how the Duke d'Annotmems could ask them to deliver up private weapons before he had disarmed their avowed and public enemies. As to the compliments paid to the Duke by the Prefect we are not convinced that he deserves them. How came the murderers to be organised as a body, with cockades different from those of the KING?— How happens it that the Protestant temples are still shut !--that none of the mprdereraof the Protestants have yet been brought to justice ? NVill the trial and punishment of a man icr attempting the life of one of the KINU's Generals purify the City of Nismes, and atone for the outrages that have been commit ted," while the murderers of the Protestants are suf fered to walk at large and to boast of their crimes ? It gives us great pleasure to observe the sympa thising spirit which pervades Britain respecting the unhappy victims of ignorance, superstition, and fanaticism in Fiance—it can only be equalled by the kindness and lib.:rality that "was extended to the persecuted Priests and Roman Catholicc.of France upwards of twenty years ago, when forced, by the persecution of infidel demagogues, to seek an asylum in this country. Did• this country.' in so exemplary a manner, perform this duty to those who had even maintained that by extirpating Pro. testants they were rendering service to Goo ? and could it now fail its discharging the same duty to its suffering Protestestant brethren ! to men persecuted by blind, bigotte4 and ferocious Roman Catholics ! impossible I Meetings are every where called to consider of the best means of affording relief to these sufferers for conscience sake. Last Tuesday the Ministers and Elders of the Edinburgh Associate riesbytery met to consider a letter addressed to one of their number, by the Secretary to the Beard of the Protestant Dis. senting Ministers in London, containing a copy of the Resolutions passql by that body on the 28th ult. respecting the persecution raised against the Protes tants in the South of France, when the Associate Presbytery unanimously approved of the principles ' expressed in said Resolutions ; concurring wi•h these Ministers in deep and tender sympathy with the per seemed Protestants in France ; and earnesuy remit mended it to all the congregations under their in Albedo. r o s puke eolitribatioini in aid of the general fiaki, which is collecting in London, and other places L of the United Kingdom, towards the temporal relief * their suderiag brethren. 1 A series of Carthagena bulletins have been received up to the 20th •f September, together with a variety t.f official papers, and letters relating to the List ope rations of Mai illo hi Venezuela, hi► advances to Car ! thagena, and consetvient places. The Independent' Govenmient of the latter place had received accounts from Venezuela, describing the prigress of the patriot armies there,,and the shifts to which the troops ieft by Morino wete chiven. A Spanish division had been completely routed by the Patriots under Snarl, near the city of Calobogo. - By this victory the latter had obtained 700 muskets, and opened their way to Barcelona, where they again defeated 1,200 Spa niards, and took all their baggage, &c. Saraza, after uniting with General Can -don, proceeded to Cumana which they took, and destroyed two divisions left there by Morino. The Patriot Chiefs, Ledesma and Mouagas Lad obtained entire possession of all Guayana, Otinoko, litc. Guiria and Maturin had been taken by the Patriot Chiefs Piar and Rideau. On the side of the west, C'icuta and the province of Varinas had been recovered by the patriot Chief Urdaneta, a detachment of whose army, under Cold nel Rodriguez, had destrOyed the Spanish troops commanded by the Governor of Maracaybe. ' Flushed with success, the Independents marched on and took,' Merido, Truzillo, Barquisetneto, and San Carlos,. forcing the Spaniards to retreat on V.lencia, where the patriots were following them up. from the east and west, the patriots are consequently fast advancing on Caracas again, to free the whole of Venezuela fur the third and last time, from the Spanish Yoke. Unfortunately, every operation discovers some new . trait of horror and cruelty. The Spaniard's them ' selves are now tired of the outragei they have ex. perienced from the acts 'of Mtwillo, rendered the more humiliating, because, in 1801, they remembered him in the same country a serjeant of marines. Where. ever the Spanish flag waves, the prisons are filled with patriots, and even many Ladies who, on a pledge of amnesty, had returned to Caracas, had been thrown into dungeons. In consequence of the desertion the Spanish garrison left in Margarita ex. perienced, the following Order was published by order of hiorillo 1 " Any soldier wisatever of this garrison yrho may desit, as well as his accomplices, shall be shut, and their 'leach hung upon hooks: Resides, curt y fifth person !elated to them as tar as the fifth generation,• shall also be shot ; I n said case, one perbou of each town of the island ilia!l also be shot; and lastlY, the district of each inhabitant being an accomplice hi the said &tertian shall I pay a eoatribntloo of !OW dollars, sad all de *tiler towns en! lectively one of 10,000 . dollars. _ signed) "A N TONI.
