LEYDEN, NOVEMBER 29.

The troubles which since the return of Louis SAT;
have not ceased to agitate the South of Franze, la •
assumed a more serious character than ever, an3:l.
event has proved that the accounts we gave tio
time to time were exact, though the Paris J .uitu
were angry, and have censured our arti.le. ply
indecent severity. We knew that the journey et .
Duke d'Angouleme to the South had fur its o')1
to calm people's minds, and preach tolerance. If t:
Was his object, it has completely failed.—[liere
lows the mention of the assassination of Gener.il L
garde, and the King's Ordinance]. But none ot
Paris Journals have made mention cf what passel
Nismes during the slay of the Duke d'Angoulemc
that city. Impartially making it our duty to ,:;t
fact in their true light, we shall supply the
.810 add, here some details coming from good all:.
;ride, and extracted from several letters recei% ed ;rJ
:Languedoc, stating in substance what follows
I 41 The Duke of Angouleme, who went in the
ginning of November to Nismes, received during
'stay there two Members of the Protestant Consislo7
who were the only ones that had not taken liiAht,
of whom was the President and Minist:r Olivier !)•
mons. The Duke expressed to this deputation 11:% t
gret and the chagrin, that the persecutions to 'bit
the Protestants in the South had been exposed,
caused him, and assured them that they should be
future prevented and even kept down by force O:
and that the King's Government would afford the l':
testanti 'all protection ; that therefore all their tempt
should be immediately opened again, and th it Os
might freely exercise their worship. The Duke d": 11
gou)eme at the same time represented to this dei,t::
tion that the inhabitants of the Communes had d•
veryill in not giving up their arms when they w
called upon so to do. One of the deputation observe,
that the inhabitants, though armed, had already"
periencad so much persecution from the

Pl.`

loyalists. that they thought themselves obliged, fbp'
the sake of their own safety, not to suffer themselves
:0 be disarmed. He even went further. and requested
the Prince to be pleased to rublish a Proclamation at
Nismes. to snake known his opinions and favourable
moments towards the Protestants ; and exhort the
.leople no longer to persecute them under the pretext
~;* Royalism; but the Prince refused this just demand,
ille.vging that his powers did not authorise him to
Hake such Proclamation. This confession of the
)uke's confounded the Pro:estants and inflamed the
iudacity of their persecutors. It is even said that the
icputation of the Protestants, in order to avoid the
of the populace, was conducted to the Duke
,r a military escort, and entered by a back door the
~,,ise where the Prince put up. According to some
iccounts the Protestant Deputies secretly left the
own to pay their respects to the Duke, and to recom-
nend their interests to him before he entered the city.
•.-lowever it be, on the Sunday after the Duke's de.
•larture divine service was again performed in a Pro-
estant Church, the entrance of which was guarded
ir a considerable armed force ; but this precaution
vas in vain ; the people being informed that the
!torch was open, collected together, and went thither
ittering imprecations and menaces, forced the guard,
-And entered the church ; those who were in it with
litficulty saving themselves by immediate flight. Ge-
ner.ll La Garde being informed of this, strengthened
he guard, and repaired in person to the spot—there
&lows an account of his being shot.]
" Some people attribute then last troubles at
NTismes to the refus 11 of the Duke d'Angouleme and
•me Ecclesiastics to set at liberty the famous Tai
.t.ilor (as others spell it Trestaillon), chief of a band
,1 assassins, telling them that their demand was
!, re than unreasonable, and that this man was to be
..1.!2..d by the c,mpetent tribunal to which he had

.00n as lie was informed of it. It is to be hoped the
ein!nrcemetit he had with him, and the measures
•rescribed by the King's Ordinance, will put an end
troubles, the authors of which it cannot be di:-

time is given them, the ruin of the French nation.
lot one is astonished, that the Police, so active under
lionapatte, and which has so long kept down those
monsters, when confided to the same hands, under
Louis XVIII. should have been unable to restrain
thefts any longer, should let them commit their crimes
'with impunity."—(loyelea Journal.) .

This morning we received a supply of Hamburgh
'apers. We select from them a curious article on
the subject of Sweden. It is evident that the Citowit
?kiNcs is alarmed for the perm•sne9cy of the Berna•

have been put forth with a •iew to counteract the
