[From a Morning Paper.)

" On'the sth Juiy several
'o Protestants were burned, and on the 6th a stiik
.greattr notid)er. The Steward (Gerisseur) of the
-estate of Gniraudin Was stretched over a fire. After
his death they took Stith down and, exhibited the
body to passengers. The 7th, Sth, and 9th were
Inoretaltu days7—there were only pillages.—On the
-sth, they massacred almost all the prisoners who
%I-ere Protestants A pretended national guard,
formed. of all the malefactors, and 'of all the
orthless wretches of ,the -environs and the town,
are acenseduf these criwes. One of the Captain's
is a person of the name of Toislajou, a'sweeper
'of tie streets,,who atone has killett fourtcto Pro-
•testants. They broke open the grave of a young
rtotestant girl, to throw her into a common -re-
rept:tele of 'Gbh. Those Protestants whom they
tlo ttot 1611 they exile, and throw into prison, and
yct there ‘vere a great number of I.l.oyali6ts among

them.. •
" From the 10th to the 14th..ittly no courier
from Paris arrived. -Oa the 16th, the. Xing was
proclaimed by the -Urban Guard (composed of ,
men between_ 40 and 60 years, of age), followed.
by all the most tespeetable persons in the town,
and the white flag was hoisted.
• "On the 17th, armed bands of brigands, and
the rritional guards of Beaucaire came to disarm -
►
the military,. who sustained an assault in the
barracks, and they were almost 4111 massacred.
Their numbers amounted to 200.
" fin the 18th, many peaceable citizens were ,
massacred—many.houses pillaged. On the after--
nowt of that cruel mornipg, the mad wretches
run about the town, calling out that they wished
Seen,ld S-aint Bart
" On the 19th, the Prefect published a Procla-
mation, recalling, the peaceable persons who bad
qtiitted tie town ; tbey obeyed this "order, and a
great number were'assassinated.
From the 20th to the 29th the pillages and
assassinations did not Ascontinue. Those who ►
sought. their safety in flight were assassinated on
the roads. Some were conducted into prisobs,
where they are. still groaning.
" On the 29th, the Prefect of the King at rived.
The other Prefect had been named by
the Royal Commissioner:
"On the 30th, a Te Deum was chanted. on
the 31st the new Prefect published a very prudent
proclaniation, hut he quitted Nisates.
. " On the Ist August, M. de Calviere, the per-
son whotn the Royal Comm ssioner had named,
resumed the functions of Prefect, and 16 Pt ores-
tants were "mass.icred. They, wencabont seizing
them in their-houses, and .t hey cut their throats
before their own A100r5.... Many were massacred i,t
-the fields. The night bet weep •the Ist and 2d was
,the most cruel. M. de Calvicre caused an order,
to he posted tip, which„seems to have somewhat
calmed these pretend& d R(;yalists. On the 4th,
several count!), seats were set on fir'e.
"-The peaceable. citizens,' the Members of the-
Urban Gaard, have been again forced to_flee to
save .them,elves from des.truc,tion. The Prefect
sent order to them to rutinn, tinder the penalty
of having the laws respecting' emigration put
force. against them. 'nose who returned into the
town' experienced either dkath.or captivity. It
is uncertain whet' er M. de Mmacahn or M. de
C-tiviere is most guilty of allow ing or. causing the
commission of all these horrors, but suspicion •
ftois prin, ipally on the former, who is Royal
Co oiniksioner,, and` whowl, it is_said, the, King
bad a cor",hierahle time ago 'ordered to cease 'his

functions. .
" Noth;ng prolnises any Security to the friends
of order; for ail tire authorities, with the .excep-
tion of two persons, are composed .01 the most
timid dnd .feeble men.
The Attornies (Notaires) 3tttl the' .4vocals
have formed resolut,ions not to retain or to re-
ceive into their bodies any hut Rowan Cath.-lies.
Nismes has already lost its rank amongst the
commercial 'towns. It is on the brink of com-
plete art rihil thou.
" The. Prefect named by the King was a NI.
rbot he has done no good. The foreign
troops have been implored to forct the h,•igauds to
repose, and assist the true Royalists, for the-bri-
gands abuse this name, which they will render.uni-
verSall odious.
" The number of deaths is prodigious ; w-elave
not an exact enumeration. • .
" florrors,of the same kind are continued in
the neighbouring towns."

ELOPEMENT.--Wednesddy, as' the 'carriage of
the Hon. Colonel was proceeded along
the toad towards his Country residence-mear.Cton-
tart, close to DUblin, ,an alarm/was given- that
the springs had snapped,: and that 'the car-
riage was in imminent danger of aversetting ;
the family, to
.avoid the impending danger, got
out nith the utmost precipitance, and were
assisted by those who gave the alarm ; it
turned out to be a ruse de guerre, practised by a
gallant son of Mars, who, having a post-carriage
at hand, with, the assistance-of his confederates,
Landed the Colonel's lovely daughter into it, and
iirove Dif with his fair prize. The gallant Cap;
lain belongs to one of the most distinguished re-
giments,in the service, and braved the danger of
the law_ tr,:mendous conflict.
AsolligltACCoUNT.—On Wednesday Mist, as
Colonel S was coming into town with his
family, from his seitt near Cloiitari, he was
alarmed by-a' man on the road, whocalled out
that the spring of the carriage was jtist.brokeu,
and that they were in the greatest danger_ of
being overturnekt, on ivhich the company in-
,stantiv hastened out of the carriage. They had
actin:eh; alighted when three men fissile(' forward
and suzed one of the Ladies, the dautt'llter of Col.
S—, and bore her into a chaise, which immediately
droVe otf. The Lady 11 ad been married about tour
ye .rs ago to a Captain --, but in consequence. of
3o,tie diderenices, they had not cohabited for the
ii)st two years. t. •'• Captain was identified to be
the leader the party. - infdtmations were ten-,
dutch! against him at two AA the Offices, but Or
in-vd, :Is the Magistiates thought it would be
cri.el to sepnrate those whom Heaven had joined
