THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 11011111 D ASSASSINATION, r ROM TftT JOURNAL OF TICIELLE DU CARD_) A dreadilli has been committed at Marvejols-les-Gardenso one r t sources of the rebellion in the Gardunneque, of which t ;le Abb • E,grgaiv was the victim. This worthy ecclesiastic was on w rpm* Pet is to MOMS, to he present at the operations of the 1 C,llege of the Department of which he was a member. H: lett Ni,mcs on the 24th of August, for Marvejols, where his estates are !mowed. On the 27th he paid a visit to one of his friends in the cow ure. On his return, towards evening, he was attacked in his si:ea low close to his house, by four assassins, who fired their muskets at h nt ; he escaped thr c shots by throwing himself behind a tree, the trunk of w h ich received the balls, but the fourth assassin having advanced. hit him, and he fel; with his thigh fractured. The villain then cooly reloaded his musket, and was about to put an end to his victim, when a girl twelve years of age, whom the firing had brought out of the house, ran and thrc' herself before her master, protesting that they should not kill him till they had killed her also. This determined the assassins to make off. A surgeon who was cliled from a neighbouring village, said he would not risk conveying the Abbe to Marvejuls for further medical aid without an escort of 300 men, and the wounded man remained twenty two hours without prover assistance. He died on the c.t9th, after forgiving his assassins, according to the precepts of his religion. He has left a memory justly revered, and friends inconsoleable for his loss. This family has been very unfortunate. There were three brothers : the ci ler was massacred at A lais, in the beginning of the Revolution, by these who then called themselves Patriots ; the second fell l ime years afterwards under the revolutionary guillotine ; the third and youngest has perished as above. The only remaining branch of this family is Count d'Esgrigny, his friend and cousin-german, Aid-de-camp to the Prince of Conde, and very distinguished General Officer. Awar upon a small scale seems to have been on the point of li:caking out between Fiance and Spain. Castanos and °limpet!, each with a Spanish army, crossed the Pyrenees into France, announcing that they cames as the friends of Toni: 'XVIII. The Duke d'Angouleme assured them that Ills uncle could do very well without such proofs of friend ship—Castanos bowed and retired. O'Donnell %las not so complaisant, and advanced. Orders were therefore given by the Duke to repel these ft iendo by force. Troops of the line, national guards, &c. were assembled—but at length, O'Don nell, after some delay, following the example of Castanos, by making a retrograde movmvost and re-passing the fron tiers. Previous to leaving France, O'Donnell wrote a letter to the French General Viumenil, assuring him that the Spa nish; troops had no desire of vengeance, and that they were entirely disposed to join the troops of Louis XVIII. in main taining together the sacred right of the august family of the Rout bons. The conclusion of his letter was rather M ina/ kalde. ."I'he Spanish soldiets have lived as brothers and faithful friends with the peaceably disposed Ft enchmen. The horrors committed on their country by the satellites of Buonapatte, have made on them no other impression than the desire of shewiug that their hearts arc incapable of die rishing sentiments of vengeance, and that the same arms Mich expelled those savage hordes from slain, are fully prepared to unite with the troops of Louis XVIII,. in sus taining the sacred rights of the august family of the Bour bons.—l hope that hereafter they will not be necessary, and that his Majesty, Louis XVIII. will not have one day to re pent of being deprived of the assistance of 80,000 Spaniards, who would have regarded and defended his cause as their own, and will always afford a prompt support to good French• men." The swoids voted by the Corporation of the eity of Lon don to the Commanders of the Allied Armies, are to be sent to the Duke of Wellington, and by him presented to those lwroes. Inc'etlon is engaged, for the ensuing winter, at the Dublin Theatre. Next summer he embarks with his musical notes an adventure to America. FOREIGN INTELLIGENI FRENCH PAPERS. -SEPT. 1 7.
