PRIVitTE LATTERS.

i• YAMS, SEPTEMBER 2.
" The disturbances in the South of France engross
at the present moment, the attention of all reflecting
men. Astonishment is expressed here, that in the
greater part of the English Papers the atrocities cow-
mitsed at Nismes, Montpelier% and Avignon, are at+
tributed to the French army stationed in the West,
and along the course of the Loire—an army which
has not a single soldier either in Avignon or its envi-
. rons. Bat, because it is thought ',toper to set up a
proposition that this army ought to be destroyed
( witliont explaining whether by the word destroy, is
meant to put to the sword, all the soldiers who com•
rse it. or to send them, on being disbanded, tocarry-
teteir opinions into the bosom of their families), is it
conceived either just or useful to impute to that army.
the crimes which are committed by brigands, seri-
rsted from them by a distance of more than two hun-
dred Miles ? The fact is, that these brigands am
directed by pretended Royalists, exalted in their opi.
Mons. and who with, by means of terror, to re-estab;
fish the arbitrary authority exercised in the seven.
teenth century by the Kines of France, and what was
called in the time of Louis XIV. the drepaada against
the Protestants.
" The following has been quoted to us fram the
Second Report made by the Duke of Qtranto, Ms;
nister of Police, to the King, on the situation of
' France:—
• An ei'roneous remark has often been made on the
subject of the ancient regime, that those Frenchrtien
who supported the tyranny of Bonaparte, were the
more easily induced to support. in its full extent, .an
arbitrary royal power. This is erroneous, for stations.
reasons. His tyranny was not our work: it was the
Sovereigns who consolidated it by their treaties, their
'alliances, and even by their friendships; and when
we resisted him, other nations ranged themselves.tm-'
der his eaglo, or htimiliazed themselves before him.
Always more alarmed at home than abroad, Bona-
parte- knew well, that if he had armies to mare
against Kings, he had no power to encounter public
cipinicni: it was by *foreign
.obedience that he endear
Voured• to keep us under his yoke: he marched to
chore than one victory, in order to possess in a greater
degree the means of re-acting upon France. A con.'
qt,efor abroad, disquieted at home, every public Ass
sernbly made him tremble: he at List found in the
midst of his Court 'and in his Councils, men of cou-
rage, who, without disrespect to the Monarch, at least
braved the Despot. Supposing even they had. suf.
feted More patiently his tyranny, can the same sub.
mission be now expected I. If he had exchanged
berty. for military glory, still there was nothing to
fear' under• his reign, either. from the Clergy, the
Nobles; or the Emigrants.. Ir *is now intended to
snake a compromise, and sires; from us some of oar
rights. All the resources of public tpinin are ready

to defend them. The Revolution is a torrent wile,
muse now either remount or &mend, according is
'the direction given to it."

the pure Royalisaa and the greater part of the nn

said was indeperalent of the King. It raised leger..

bitrary, and directly contr-sy to the Resoluzieas o:

orders of the Prussian Military Commandant, hey:

Prussian Officer in attempting to violate a Tour):
woman was killed by her; the Prussians, in caeca
quenee of this, ordered tNle girl to be shot. Tli ir•
habitants rose to rescue her, and number of persoas
on both sides were killed and wounded:. The greaten
anxiety and distrust prevails in every part of Frano
because the Allies have as yet constantly reused to.
explain their intentions, nor can nny one divine lat:c
or when th;s state of things will be terminated. W*
look to the meeting of the Representative Bodies With
awe and apprehension. If they act with prudence,
firmness, and adhere to the Constitution, we may yet
be saved ; but if . they do otherwise, if they adopt a
,pirit of re-active, if they attempt to attack what Fit

scenes of anarchy and
.discord that marked the ealV
periods of the Revolution.
44 AVe look to their meeting. as I have said,
fear, because almost all the Nobles, those who ra
mained, and those who emigrated, and are -cotr.,
back, have united their influence to procure the elec-
tion of those who are termed /sure Royalirtr, that is
tat men who are animated with a wish to see the mo-
narchy restored such as it was thirty years agn, and
seem to be ignorant of what h is happeaed since, er:
of the present state of things. The Rialists are
divided into two parties, that of the King and that
of the Duke d'Angouleme, bat what cannot he sta.-
ficiently regretted is, the idea that prevails, that
some of the Allied Powers are more dispued to sur-
port the latter party than that of the King. At tl.e

had they at once declared the resolution of straw:-

'have been firmly established on his throne, and France
in tranquillity. The myiterious silence they eta-e
preserved on these two importanepoints, and the (a-

a spirit that will not. easily be quelled; to these el:-
