TIIE NATIONAL REGISTER. theCaptaina Is a person of the name of Toislajon, a sweeper of the streets, who alone has killed fourteen Protestants. They broke open the giave of It young Protestant gill to throw her into a corn. mon receptacle of filth. Those Protestants whom they do not kill they exile, and throw into prison, and yet there were a great num ber of Royalists among them. From the loth to the 14th July no courier from Paris arrived. (hi the 16th the King was proclaimed by the Urban Guard (com posed of men between 40 and 60 years of age), followed by all the most respectable persons iu the town. and the white flag was hoisted. On the 17th armed bands of brigand/4 and the National Guards of Beancaire came to disarm the military, who sustained an assault in the barracks, and they were almost all massacred. Tkeir num. ber amonnted to 200. On the 18th many peaceable citizens were massacred—many houses pillaged. On the afternoon of that cruel morning, the mad wretches rdn about the town calling out that they wished a second Saint Bartholomew. On the 19th the Prefect published a proclamation, recalling th• peaceable persons who had quitted the town; they obeyed this or der, and a Areat number were assassinated. From the nth Lathe 19th, the pillages and -assassinations did not iiseontinne. Those who sought their safety in flight were assassi nated on the roads. Some were conducted - into prisons, where they are still groaning. On the 29th the Prefect of the King arrived. The other Prefect bad been named by - the Royal Commissioner. On the Seth a 're Demi' wit (•haunted. On the .Slst the new Prefect published a very prudent proclamation, but he quitted Nisnies. On the Ist of August, M. de Calviere, the person whem the Royal Commissioner had named, resumed the functions of Prefect, and 16 Protestants Were massacred. They went about* seizing them in their houses, and they cut their throats before their own doors. many were massacred in the fields. The night between the Ist and 2d was the most cruel. M. de Calviere caused an order to be postrd up, which seems to have somewhat calmed these pretended Royal ists. On the 4th, several country seats were set on fit e. The peaceable citizens. the Members of the I.7rhun Guard, hate been again forced to flee to save themselves from destruction. The Prefect sent au order to them to return, under the penalty of hav ing the laws respecting emigration put in force against them. Thcs,e who returned into the town experienced either death or captivity. It is uncertain whether M. de Moncalm or M. de Calviere ti mos% guilty' of allowing or causing the commission of all these horrors. bat suspicion falls principally on the former, who is Royal C 4 simper., and whom it is said the King had a considerable time aea ordered to cease his tUnctions. Nothing. promises any s.. ua ity to, the frit:olds of order; for all the authorities, with the ext.( idiot' two pei sons, are composed of the most timid and feeble The At tornies (Notaires) and the Arocals have formed resolutions not to retain or receive into their bodies any but Roman Catholics. Nismes has already lost its rank amongst the commercial towns it is on the bi ink of complete annihilation. The Prefect named by the King was aM. D'Arbot he has dane. no good. The foreign troops have been implored to force the brigands to repose, and to assist the trite Royalists. for the brigands abuse this name, which they will render universally odious. The number of deaths is proiligioui we have not au exact mut rneration. Horrors of the same kind are continued in the neighbonring towns. STATE OF MAD-HOUSES IN ENGLAND.

GENERAL RAVEL. Tour.ousE.—On the 15th, between eight and nine o'clock in the evening, while a great. number of people were amusing themselves by daneing on the Place des Cannes, about twenty persons ad vanced singing, and took their station before the residence of General Hamel, Commander of the Department, where they cried three or tour times—ft Down with Hamel ; we'll have no more of h i im!" They afterwards retreated. A similar occurrence had taken place on the 14th. The General was absent, His servant informed him of what was ping on, and he repaired immediately to his residence. He had scarcely entered when the crowd returned in much greater nwn. bers. repeating the same cries. Part of the house in which thc General resided was occupied as a tavern, and there some of the Chasseim had assembled.

The General, hurried away hy passion, rushed into the crowd, struck around him with his sword, and wounded nine or ten persons. He would have wounded more, had not a musket ball, fired at him, but whence is not known, hit bins. Thinking now only of saving himself, he returned to Isis residence acid caused the doors to be fastened. A detachment of the Urban C;;lard arsived and occupied the house. The multitude crowded ti . otu all quarters, crying forionsly" He bas drawn his sword on t0 , ..‘ people!" Meanwhile, having been found in • a garret bathed in blood, he was carried to his apartments where Isis attemlems p -acceded to drees Isis wound•• The crowd, on the outside, how eyes-, insisted that he should be delivered to them, saying" if Isey be put its prison he will nut be punished." A large log of wood which was lying in the street, was used as a battering rem to force the outer door. The recoinmeadation of several who were present to desist from this proceeding was made its vain. All authority was disregarded, and the crowd rushed into the house. .The persons who were about the nntortunate General escaped by a ladder into the next house, and he was massacred w hilt lying on his bed by repeated blows from sabres. They did not leave him mull they believed he Wa dead. HORRIBLE CRUELTIES IN FRANCE. MASSACRE OF THE PROTESTANTS.
