COURT OF ASSIZES OF PARIS.

On the trial this day of two eases similar to that
of which we gate a report yesterday, the Jury have
not displayed leas nupartiulity anti Aridness. The
Court has manifested the some justice in apportion-
ing the Punishment.

Pierre Javier, a watch-maker, figured alone in
the first case.—l le was seep, during six consecutive
days, and particularly on the or last
July, mixing among the groupes on the Place de
Carousel, and under the windows of the King, at
the l'huilleries, and using the must atrocious lan-

" A'o—the said Pierre Jattier is eat guilty of hav-

people. •

Information was received, that symptom. of rebel-
lion had appeard in the Vuussage and tice Gordian-
netigne, nod that parties composed of countr3-
people, and the principal of the factious and fedi-
nites of this city had fled thither. N•.thiug, how-
ever, was perceived in these movements to indicate
the plan of a combined revolt ; the events of yester-
day and to-day have frustrated their projects, by
in:folding them.

An Austrian column was within our walls since
the and the necessity of procuring lodgings
for it in the barracks had caused orders to lie issued
fur the departure for Alai.; of a regiment of royal
home cliasseurs winch was in garrison iu our town.
Its advanced guard was at Ners, a village five
leagues from Nisuses; it was resting, when its
Commandmit Eugene vie Cabrieres, was apprised
by the Sieur Perieux, Mayor of that Commune,
that a numerous assemblage was about to at-
tack it. M. de Cabrieres, accompanied by the
Mayor thought fit to advance, without mistrust,
towards this assemblage, to represent that his re-
giment hail no hostile intention towards the
country, and that according to superior orders,
it was going in garrison to Two sen-
tiueis ediately tired; the Sieur l'erieux,- the
Mayor, was killed, mid M. de Cabrieres wounded
in the arm ; the latter retired with his company sad
lost a mau, who was killed by a tire of musketry
from the houses of the village. The regiment
thought it right to suspend its march, and to give
information of what bad passed to the authorities of
the el-partmeut.
Yesterday SOO Austrians sio out to join this re-
giment, which they f d still stopped in its
march by the rebels. The Austrian commandant
summoned the latter to lay down their arms and
disperse ; they had the presumption to propose a
capitulation, which withd not possibly be recon-
ciled with the submission due to the Governmeut.
The Commandant declared that be asould not ca-
pitulate with rebels. Upon this answer the latter
liral : four Austrians were killed and nine wound-
ed. The trunks lust:ugly marched to the attack ;
the minks were dispersed after a battle of two
hours, in which they lost Go men killed, mud three
pn rs one of %ilium was a federate of Nismes,
:mil who, with his too VOW males, was shat by com-
mand of the Austrian General Stahrenkerg.
A second Austrian column set out two hours azo,
and will be followed by a considerable detachment
of our national guard. The object of this expedi-
tion is to disarm that part of the Department which
is infected with the spirit of rebellion.
We are assused that the ex-general (Idly and an
advocate have organized this insurrection, whose
ramifications seem to extend to the Cevennes.—
It is even mid that proclamations have been cir-
culated in those parts to instigate the inhabitants to
revolt.

These unfortunate persons are thus exposing them-
selves to the risk of falling victims to the despera-
tion of a general officer, who is apparently bent on
selling his hie as dearly as passible to escape the

Our wishes are at length accomplished. Yester-

Sovereign, who has been absent from her dominions
for so many years, bus arrived within our walls.

habitants of this city, when, yesterday morning at
sunrise, a vessel which was known by her signals to

sort of our Monarch, was drxt•rie;l at the distance of

in the morning, on board the Berwick to meet the
Queen, and the moment of lauding, us well as the
rest of the day, was marked by the strongest de-
mon strations of joy. At night spectacles and dances
took place, and the city was illuminated.

LONDON,

THURSDAY, SEFLEMIER 7, 1815.

We have received Paris. Papers of S lay last.
The outrages which so long agitated the South of
France, have at length assumed a more serious.
aspect, and the enemies of the existing Govern-
ment have appeared in open hostility against the
King's troops, assisted by the Austrian army. A
sanguinary action was fought at tiers, a small vil-
lage five leagues from Nisines, between the insur-
gents and the Allies, in which the former, com-
manded by the Ex-General (;tt.t.v, were, after two
hours hard fighting, defeated with the loss of sixty
men killed and three prisoners. The prisoners
were immediately shot, by order of the Austrian
Crum!. The circumstances of the case were as
follow:—An Austrian column had arrived at
Nismes, on the 24th last, and the necessity of procur-
ing barracks for its accommodation, had caused a
French regiment of !loyal chasseurs to leave the
town for Alois. Ou i!, arrival at Ners, it was ap-
prised that a large body of instirgents was prepar-
ing to attack it, and its • mecum pu-
nier! by the Al:i3 oi of the Commune, proceeded hn
inform the enemy that the regiment had no hostile
intentions towards the country, mid were only pro-
ceeding to garrison .flans. This representation,
however, bud no effert ; the insurgents tired on
them, killed the Mayor, and wounded the Officer.
The Austrians, on being infrirmed of this event,
dispatched ma) men to dear the passage, and re-
jecting a prof Hosed capitulation, were atticke4l by
the insurgents, had several men killed and wound-
ed, and with difficulty succeeded iu repulsing the
enemy. This eirennist slice is of immense impor-
tance, as atliwilitig a tolerably accurate meinis of
estimating the public feeling in France, Mid cleat ly
proves the spirit that dictated the proclamations
given in our Paper of yesterday, and which, al-
though purporting to temess the extilicrauce of
loyalty,appeared, as we then velitured to observe,
to be rather dictated by an apprehension of hosti-
lity, founded on the well-known existence of re-
volutionary principles in the hiliabitants of the
southern departments. We fear the example will
be very generally followed—and that France will
become a prey to the accumulated miseries of a
domestic war.

General Gti.LY, who commanded the French,
was amour; those denounced i❑ the Ordinance of
the 24111 July, and appointed fur trial with NEY,
LABEDOYERL, Ills forces consist of several
regular troops, assisted by the armed peasantry.
The Legislative Body will be opened on the 20th_
The Court exult in the certainty of having filled
the Chambers with its own partisans. Stich a boast
is highly injudicious; for as the tranquillity of the
country must depend on the confidence reposed in
the itatiowil representation, nothing is so likely
to obviate this ad►:nttage, as to intimate a doubt of
the electors impartiality.
The French Funds still look upwards, in conse-
quence of the increased hopes of peace having been
ratifieJ. The assurance of the integrity of France
is of paramount importance with a Frenchman, for
by means of it, be hopes to obtain a future compen-
sation for his present sufferings, the idea of which
lie con►equently postpones to it. Such are his wak-
ing dreams, and in such thoughts only does-he find
consolation under his present indignities. The funds,
therefore, rise on the expectation of peace, although
no Frenchman can flatter himself with the idea of
being soon freed from the Allied armies. The ne-
cessity of keeping up a large foreign force within
the kingdom is universally felt, end, in such a case,
it is diff►cult to say w Melt is the more unhappy,

his throne, at the expense of his people's happiness,

den of a fOrVP oppressive, and a King so un-
