ARY CELEBRATION OF
- -

MASSACRE.

The Debate of to-clay has the following article
upon a fact which was alludod to in our Paris letter
ea Saturday :

The Archbishop of Toulouse, in a pastoral letter ad-
dressed to the faithful of his diocese, announces a jubilee
whisk is to commence in that city on the 16th of nest
May. We observe that this local hate is intended to
eslebrate the secular anniversary "of • glorious deed
which was acoompliehed at Toulouse 300 years ago." In
reeding this pastoral letter we naturally ask, What is
the glorious deed of which the archbishop speaks with
so much enthusiasm, and which, moreover, he so care-
fully avoids explaining? This reticence, evidently
intentional, conceals an enigma, the solution of
which is sufficiently know° to the Toulonnales,
and this solution is as follows :—Three hundred
years ago war wax declared at Toulouse between the
catholic' and the Huguenots. The two sides fought
desperately with arms in their hands. On the 16th
of May, 1562, the catholic" compelled the protestant' to
swept • capitulation, by the terms of which the protestant"
were to leave the city in eatety on the condition that they
laid down their arms at the Hotel de Ville. The protestant"
having no distrust, began at once to lay down their arms ;
but, by virtue of • maxim then generally admitted, that the
faithful were not bound to keep sworn faith with heretics,
the capitulation was shamefully violated, end the disarmed
Huguenots ware massacred to the last man. This event is
recorded by all the historians of the time, De Thou, Mize-
sal, Lo Popelinifire, in the memoirs of Conde, and
of Mostlne—obove all, there is to be found • very detailed
account of it in the general history of Languedoc of Don
Vaieeette, VoL 5, p. 217 to 226 and p. 631. Some of these
historians state that as man► as 4,000 Huguenots
perished in this horrible butchery. The municipal
officers of the city and the parliament, who took
so sad • part in the religious struggles of that,
epoch,wished to perpetuate the recollection of this "glorious
day " by the institution of ► seeder VA*, which was autho-
rind by two pontifical bulls, and which was celebrated on
the two past anniversaries of the 16th of May, 1662, and
the 16th of May, 1762. One might naturally suppose that the
revolutions which have taken place since this laatdate, meet-
icg an abyss between the generations who were witnesses
of these odious acts or associated with them, and modern

generations, would have effaced for ever the recollection of
them and abolished the fite instituted to glorify them. It
is, however, this very fête that the Archbishop of Toulouse
has conceived the project of reviving, and of which he pre-
scribes the celebration on the 16th of next May.

Thus this glorious event, which excite. the ze►l and the
enthusiasm of the Archbishop of Toulouse, this event, for
which he returns thanks to " the goodness of God," this
event in honour of which he announces a jubilee, solemn
prooemious, and plenary indulgence, vase St. Bartholomew
of which the city of Toulouse was the theatre ten years
before that whioh eusanguined the streets of Paris on the
fatal day of the 24th of August, 1572. It is thus th►t the
Archbishop of Toulouse wishes "to reunite the chain of
the past."

The celebration of such a fete is a thought worthy of
the age which beheld three abominable tragedies, worthy of
the times which the Archbishop of Toulouse admires, sea
which he dares to propose as an example to modern genera-
tions. In truth,we know not which should most astooish sad
afflict us, the intolerance and the superannuated posies,
which have inspired this resolutioa, or the imprudesce and
the temerity which characterise it. Certainly, attar all
that has taken place for some time past, owe an scarcely
be surprised to see a member of the episcopate thus vin-
Wetly set at naught the principles of tolenurce and
religious liberty which have become the law of modern
society, but what is astocishing is to see this member of the
spiscopecy wanting in the most simple and ordinary pro-
duce. How is it that the Archbishop of Toulouse, who
lime in the midst of our mouths:a population, who knows
the ardour and ioteesity of their religious peesions, has sot
sem the danger of this appeal made to such ill-omened re-
collections! How is it that he has not feared to revive the
discords and the hatreds scarcely yet extinct? How is it
that he has not recoiled before the responsibility of the
misfortunes which might result from such renewed strug-
gles —ln speaking thus we believe we are expressing
the sentiments which are manifested ►t Toulouse, where
this untoward project has produced a sensation which is too
well justified.
We would still hops that the archbishop will abandon
his intention, and not put into action this project, which has
the doubleiobjection of being a deplorable anachronism, and
a danger to the public peace.

RUSSIA AND POLAND.

The Official Gazette of Warsaw, of the 2nd lust.,
publishes the following :

Written at the Citadel of Warsaw, by a Commission of
Inquiry, March 28, 1862.

By virtue of a decree of the

is pursuance of aa order from the Aide-de-19=p General
Vamiletnik, to-day, Prince Bebutow, together with the dela-
ptee named by that order, Dr. Tytus, professor of
the Academy of Medicine ; Charles Minter, pro-
prietor of the house, No. 1,3:17 ; and Alexander
Preys*, Chief Director of the Society of Land Credit, pro-
ceeded to the above-mentioned place in order to verify the

report which was circulated in the city that Alexander
Tensoyski, coutined in the citadel, and awned of having
printed and circulated a revolutionary address to the Arch-
bishop Felinski, had been, during an examination for the
purpose of causing him to reveal his accomplices, beaten
with so much inhumanity that pieces of flesh had fallen
from his body. Accordingly, Alex. Zamoyaki, archevist of
the Society of Credit, was summoned from the place where
he MY confined before the above.meutioued delegates. His
identity having bee, proved by the Chief Director Preys.,
to the question which was put to him by the delegates, if
he had been severely beaten, he replied, and affirmed it upon
his honour, that since his arrest, not only had he been free
from corporal punishment, bet not even a hand had been
placed upon him. Prince Bebutow having asked him if be
was not induced to make this avowal from fear, ho said in-
stantly that he would undress to prove the truth of his
words ; but the delegates, who had no doubt on the matter,
agreed that this was unnecessary, and that the falsity of the
reports had been sufficiently proved. Thereupon the prods
rerbal was closed, read over, accepted, and signed in the frib
lowing order: Da. CHATUBINBIII,

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(noel on owx

PARIS, SUNDAY EVIIING.

The Patrie--authorised, I am much afraid—
breaks a long silence, to announce that all the
rumours of General de Goyon's recall from Rome
are incorrect. The general, " remaining in posses-
sion of the powers with which be is invested, will
not leave Rome ; and we believe we may also say
that the Marquis de Lavalette will return to his
poet at the expiration of his leave." Madame de
Goyon's presence in Paris is now explained by the
necessity of pleading her husband's cause ; which,
it is to be presumed, she has gained, for "she has
had the honour of being received by the
Emperor and Empress." The Opinion Na-
tionale, which the other day said that
General de Goyon was preparing to come home,
now confirms the Patric's statement. It says
that the question of De Goyon's recall was really
on the lapis, but that the decision is that both the
general and the ambassador are to remain at Rome.
If this news be true, it is humiliating to M. de
Lavalette and M. Thouvenel, as well as discourag-
ing to Italy.

The Opinion Nationale speaks very strongly to-
night about the futility of the schemes of concilia-
tion with Rome. It says :

There is war to the death between Italy and the Pope-
King. One or the other must fall, and to force a compro-
mite upon two ouch bittar and necessarily irreconcilmble
enemies is to sow the wind to reap the whirlwind, sad to
coquet with a fleeting piece which is likely to be the pre•
ludo to a bloody Europese war. It is evident that any slob
compromise would ha broken almost as ma as concluded ;
for atrium& the cabinet of Turin might bold itself bound,
the Italia nation would not, and the advanced party would
take is hands came which the ministry would have been
000stralsed to daunt.

Dormeuil, the manager of the Vaudeville,
writes to the papers to deny the statement of the
Pays, which is insinuated to betrue by the Constitu-
tional, that he has been blamed by the Minister of
the Interior and the prefect of police for the row
at his theatre. He confirms the statement that the
government ordered him to go on with the Coillion
after he had wished to withdraw it, and that it
was finally withdrawn by order of the prefect of
police. He, however, makes no allusion to the
serious charge that the claque, departing from its
duty as hired applauders, presumed to act as police-
men, and assault those who hissed. If the govern-
ment must interfere with theatres, it could not
make a better use of its power than to abolish the
claque, which is a permanent cabal of a most igno-
ble kind, and one whose interference with any ex-
pression of opinion by the real public always e:-
cites justifiable indignation.
In the present excitable state of the public mind
great fears hays been entertained lest a military
melodrama of strong Bonapartist tinge, which is
to be brought out at the Porte St. Martin shortly,
should give occasion for political manifestations.
The Conalltutionuel has been instructed to deny

that M. Mooquard, the Emperor's secretary, has
had any hand in the composition of it, awl to
assert that M. Victor Sejour, whose name appears
on the bills, is the sole author. The censure, it
is also stated, bas most diligently examined the
pieoe, and cut out every passage that could by pos-
sibility be construed as a political allusion. It is
therefore hoped that the public will receive it as "a
national drama, depicting the patriotic emotions of
the country in 1814, and the last efforts of the un-
fortunate hero against the coalition." This play,
which has been got up at an extraordinary expense,
is to be called Jeanne, La France, or Les Vann-
taint de 1814.

PARIS, SaroanAT
A political trial of some interest took place yes-
terday before the Correctional Tribunal. M. Taule,
a medical student, and a writer in the recently sup-
pressed journal, the Travail, war accused as a prin-
cipal, and M. Martin Bernard, an ex-representative
of the people, as an accomplice, of the crime newly
devised by the Law of Public Safety, of "practising
manoeuvres and carrying on intelligence with people
abroad." The corpus delicti was simply this, that
Taule wishing to send to Ledru Rollin, in London,
a copy of the new song, "Le Lion du Quartier
Latin," got his address from Martin Bernard, and
took the opportunity of expressing political sym-
liathy for him. Although the letter to Ledru
Rollin was enclosed in an envelope to
another address, the police smelt it out,
and it was duly seized and opened in
the Post-office: The judgment finding Taule guilty,
recites that his evident object was to put himself
in communication with Ledrn Rollin, whom he
describes as " working with indefatigable and de-
voted band for the welfare of the republic and the
deliverance of the ceuntry." That he asked Ledru
Rollin for copies of a speech pronounced by him
over the grave of a Pole in order to make that
speech better known ; and that he said, " We have
still left to us the humble but active propa-
ganda of all friends of liberty ; that is the only
thing which must always escape from the clutch
of despotism as long as there remain in France
men of heart and sincere republicans ; this
holy phalanx is daily organising itself in
silence ; new recruits swell its ranks every
day. That in the said letter Taule noticed
the recent attitude of the students in Paris, and
after speaking of the scenes which took place on
the occasion of the representation of M. E. About'a
play, added—" Let us hope that this manifests-
tiou will not be the last, and, that it may not be so,
it is important now and then to let young men
hear the voices of those exiles whom they have
never ceased to love, and to which they will respond
when the hour comes for do' battle." That
Taule sent at the same time to Led u Rollin some
numbers of the journal Le Travail, which he de-
scribed as " a little tribune, serving as a first
rallying point for the young men of the
schools." Being of opinion that these facts
and circumstances constituted manoeuvres with

parties abroad calculated to disturb the public
peace, the court sentenced Tattle to two months'
imprisonment and a fine of 200 f. As to M. Ber-
nard, who admitted giving Ledru Rollin's address
to Taule, but denied that he knew the contents of
the letter, a verdict of "Not proven" was given.
I presume that the above case is one of those re-
ferred to by the Moniteur some little time ago, when
it announced that the government was in posses-
sion of the clue to "guilty intrigues." At all events,
this is the only political prosecution of anything '
like serious importance which has occurred since.
I believe, however, that the ex-deputies Greppo and
Miot are still in custody, and, moreover, an scent.
Very little business was done at the Bourse, as is
often the case on a Saturday. The Rents closed
firm at 70, yesterday's price, after unimportant
fluctuations. Mobilier fell 2.50, and the Italian
loan 15c. The Northern Railway fell 0.25, and
Lyons 8.75 ; in the other lines there was little
change.
' Letters from Lyons state that the exports of silk
to New York during the last fortnight in March
doubled those of any like period for a lung time
past. Nevertheless the movement caused by the
hopes of peace on the American continent was
' rather too rapid, and sales are now slack at Lyons.
The news of the coming silk crop is said to be good.
The Cot Won riota, which were expected to continue
this evening, are at an end in consequence of the
government, which at first insisted upon the per-
, formsoee going on, having now directed the
management of the vaudeville to strike the piece
out of the bills. I believe none of the people
arrested on account of this pitiful affair now
remain in custody. There were some broken
! heads and more broken sticks and umbrellas, but
on the whole no great harm was done. The Jockey
Club gentlemen were undoubtedly in the wrong
' when they pushed the privilege of disapproving a

piece to the extent of preventing it from being ;:r.
formed. That is not liberty, but opprei.m.
Nevertheless, the elaque—the hired applauder
were more wrong still when they executed a chug,
upon the d imentients lathe orchest•ra stalls. The At,"
announces to-night that the Minister of the Interior
I and the Prefect of Police have severely blainol •hr
management, which they hold responsible for the
aggression of the claque. The director 4
vaudeville has been reminded that in rase of
disturbance in a theatre the duty of riviterieJ
order devolve, not upon the claque, but upon ti o.
Police Commissioners in uniform, who will alwav,
interfere with that moderation which is liaLiu :,
to them.

(Isom s coaarstrosmarr.)

ATHENS, Mice ts.

Our position is no better than it was a weic
Every day the friends of the government tell nu that tin
insurgent. of Nauplia have surrendered, and the new,
always turns out untrue. The government, notwith-
standing its late military successes, haa Leen te.
dnoed to offer all sorts of Coll3olllliooll to the rebel,
without achieving any result. In the first instacßA
it offered an amnesty excepting from its operation only 1!
ringleaders (almost all officers of high rank), and even the*,
were to have been allowed to expatriate themselves with as
indemnity for the law of their commissions. Thi, off„

was flatly rejected. The government then west so far an t,
promise • general amnesty, without. any exception what.
ever, and even undertook to retain all the con,
promised of in its ser►ice ; bet this tvni,j
attempt at propitiation obtained no better sor
owe than the other. The King then sent y.
Miaulis, Minister of Marine, and M. Conduriotis, Stioister.{
the Royal Household and of Foreign Affairs to the camp
Argos, sad they proferred various concessions, which the.
insurgents of Nauplia inexorably rejected. The Lott!
adhere to their original programme—" A tAi

change of ministers, ministerial reeporssibility, dissolution
the legislative chamber, and au appeal to a constituent a
sambly." Y.M. Misulisand Conduriotis returned to Athena
yesterday, and everybody knows the answer they brotult
back with them. It is also known that after their &parlor:
from Nauplia the insurgent population andgarrison solemn:,
renewed their oath to resist to thelmt extremity. In therdpy
army in theArgce camp there are a greatruany woundeded
sick, and the government is not able to reinforce it He
are scattered about in the whole kingdom about 4,000 royal
troop', and they have quite enough to do to keep down de
populations, who, almost everywhere, at Syra, Nan,
Nicosia, Santorini, Laconia, Diemen* Trifilia, Eurithea,
Pthiotide, he., are ready to pronounce in favour of Nanpli4
However, the government continues to resist, and U.
question is anxiously asked, what are we coming to
certain that the authors of the movement are sornethoi
more than ordinary rebels; it is the whole satire whirl a
agitating, and woe to the sovereign who makes no aroma
of the symptoms. The Greek ,minces have been mate
damaged by there events. If the presentstate of things Meld
last six weeks longer I doubt not that every resource will
be exhausted. Taxes are not paid, and the corn in the eau
gr►naries (the produce of the tithes) can only be sold at re
duced prices.

The attitude of the ministers of the three great pro.
Stating powers is said to be strictly neat el. Nothing
positive is however known on this subject, bat the Green
construe silence in their own favour, and are persuaded more
sod more every day that they will be permitted to send
their difference with their Sovereign without interference.
The Queen begins to be frightened at the obstinacy of the
insurrection. Public opinion is greatly irritated spi
her. This imprudent Sovereign may fairly bout of having
provoked the hatred of her subjects. It is to her especially
that the reckless maintenance of • system of goveremnt
in flagrant violation of the meat specific articles of the Hsi.
lenic constitution is attributed. What the court of Green
particularly dreads, in the event of • constituent aamembly
bung convoked, is, that • question of succession to tle
throne might be raised ; and this fear is well founded. No
doubt the first question put to the King by rich an agent
bly would be one touching his successor ; and if the Kit
should name one he might as well prepare to abdicate d
once. The fact is that the majority of the nation wishes h
be rid legally, if possible, of s sovereign who will le
justly reproached by history with having attempted I
maintain the state quo at all hazards. _Moreover, Kid
Otho's government has never done anything for the mate:id
interests of the country. The inhabitants have done**
beet for agriculture in spite of multitudinous vexations a
the part of government ; but manufactures are a nullity,
and they are detestedat court."
The Paine confirms the news that the insurgent guns
of Naupli• has definitively rejected all the offers of w
amnesty, and says that General success, on Mani
12, was confined to the taking of the advaand
works of Aria. On the 26th, he attempted
to cut the aqueduct which conveys water frog
Glikia to the town ; and the insurgent', wonder*
that aggressive not &violation of the truce, opened fire hoe
all their batteries upon the royal troops. The Petrie an
says that fresh disorders have broken out in different put
of Greece, more particularly in Acarnanis and Nesse*
in the centre and south west of the Peloponnesns ; sod dart
the rumour of the Porte having countermanded its prom
tiooary measures with • view to the events in GreenS
untrue ; the Turkish &deistic squadron continues tenni
in the gulf of Arta, and it has a corps of observation on it
southern frontier commanded by Sada Pacha, a Pahl
general whose name is Ciaika.
