successful, and loudly applauded.

A new musical Farce was produced here ou Thursday

concerns a tyrant landlord. who after perpetrating various
persecutions upon a young lady who is his ward, because
she rejects his addresses, and upon the tenants of his reputed
property, with whom the young lady takes refuze, i• at
length ousted from his guardianship, by the lady coming o
age; and from the estite, by due process ofi court of law,
when his successor, through whose agency his plans te.v,
been defeated. marries the young lady, and restores the
tenants their 1 .o•es. This little piece does not call for
much criticism. and rertainly merits no severity. There
are sum- tolerable jokes in it, and many pa rs of proverbs,
given by Paddo k, a farmer which, with the addition of

=how facts to their true light, we shad supply this ;Vence, and
add here some details coming from good authority, and extract-
ed few). merit letter; teceird from Panguedoc„ stating ip
substance what follows:
The Duke WAngouleme, who went in the beginning of
November to Nisines, received; during his stay there, two
am:owl of the. Noiteitalit Cousistory, who were the auly ones
that had not oaken flight ; one of whom was the'Presiderit and
Nimister Olivier Dismons. The Duke expressed to this be-
putation his regret, and the chazriu that the persecutions to
which the Protestants in the knot!) had been exposed had Citli••
him ; and assured then] that they should be in future prevented,
'and even kept down by force of arms; and that the King's gii-
iTprntsrent would affordahe Protecauts all protection that,.
(therefore, all their churches should be immediately opened
!'slgain, and that they might feels, exercise their worship.
•The Duke D'Aitgottletue at the same tiine represented this to
Reputation, that the inhabitants of the Cevennes bad done
,dery ill, in u't Eri..itiz tip their arms when they we-e collect
'upon sn to do. One of the Deputation observed, that the 4e-
habitants, though armed, bad already experienced so tnuch
persecution font the s,oi-dis.ant royalists, that they thouglzt
themselves obliged, for the sake of their own safety, n a to
suffer themselves to be disarmed. They even went farther,
and requested the Prince to he pleased to. publish a proclama-
tion at Nisi-ries, to make known his opinions 'and favourable
sentiments towards the Protestants, and exhort the people no
longer to persecute them under the pretext of royalism: bat
*he Prince refused this just demand, alle'Titig, that his p over*
did not authorise him to make such Proclamations. This con-
' fession of the D Ike's-confounded the Pro estan:s. and inflamed
the audacity of their persecutors. It is even said, that the De-
.putatimi of the Protestants, in order to avoid the insults of the
populace, was conduced to the Duke by a military escoefotod
entered by a back door the house were the Prince put up. Ac-
cording to some accounts, the Protestant Deputies Sc' reds lett.
the town to pay their respects to the Duke, and to recommend
their interests to him before he entered the city. However
this may be, on the Sunday after the Duke's departure, divine
service was again performed in a Protestant church, the
entrance of which was guarded by a considerable armed force;
but this precaution was in vain.
File people, beinp, lammed that the church was open, col-
lected together, and went thither, uttering imprecations at:d
menaces, fo.ced the guard, and entered the church; those who
were in it with difficulty saying themselves by inmediate flight.
General I.agard, being informed of this, strengthened the guard.
and iepaired in person to the spot. [Mere follows the account
of his being shot at.]
Some persons attribute these last troubles at Nimes to the
refusal of the Duke of A tigouleme, to some ecclesiastics, to set
at liberty the famous 'rasa-1110n, (as others spell it, 1 iestaillon,)
chief of a band of assassins, te.liug them their demand wax
more than unseasonable, and that this man was to be judged
by the •Compeient tribunal to which he had been delivered.
The Duke, who was at Toulouse when this uassed, hastened to,
return to Nismes as soon as be was informed of it. It is to be
hoped, the reinforcements he has with him, and the measures.
prescribed by the King's Ordinance, will pot an end to troubles,
the authors of which, it cannot he dissembled, are the impure
Ireinains of saes-c.o.'atism, who, after having been kept down by
the iron sceptre of Buonaparte, emboldened by the mildness.
of Louis XVIII have resumed their ancient audacity, and have
joined the adherents of the usurper, to consummate, if time is
given them, the ruin Of the French nation. But one is asto-
nished that the police, ao active under Buonaparte, and which
ha; so long kept &mit these monsters, wtien confided to the
,sating Nardi ander should have been unable to
