Last night we received the Paris Papers of Sunday,
and this morning those.of Monday came to hand.
Several private letters have been lately alluding to
dreadful scenes transacting in the South of France,
and which have assumed the character of a horrible
persecution of the Protestants. We were unwilling
to credit such reports, while circulated merely in the
shape of rumours, but they are now mentioned in the
French Journals, and even in the public document..
The extract of a Proclamation, issued by the Com-
mander of the Ninth Military Division, at Montpel-
lier, avowedly alludes to the persecution of the Pro-
testants; and we can, therefore, no longer doubt the
truth of these enormities, some of which are detailed
in the Bulletin of Nismts. Private letters state the
number of victims, not at hundreds even, but at
thousands I

The principal instigators and agents call theMselves
Royalists ! Alas for the cause of Louts and the
BOURBONS, if this be true !—but we have lived long
enough to learn, that the cry of a'mob has no more
to do with the secret motives of the prime agents,
than the skill of a watch-maker has with causing the
revolutions of that luminary which tells us the hour
by the shadow on the sun-dial. We are not, however,
without our fears, that one set of men who ought to
inculcate a very different spirit, not only from reli-
gious feeling, but from gratitude to their Sovereign,
will be found deeply engaged in these disgraceful
and hellish proceedings. If such be the first effect
that men are led to experience from their returning
influence, all good men will be led not only to desire,
but to labour for its entire overthrow.

The POP/ may enjoin certain statesmen in foreign
countries, may encourage, and bigots May desire, the
re•establishment of the Jesuits. Priests may use their
influence to induce individuals to protest against poli-
tical constitutions guaranteeing freedom of worship :
but they betray miserable ignorance who can persuade
themselves that the potentates of the earth, statesmen,
and the mass of mankind generally, will ever submit
again w the rule, the dominion, and the tyranny of
Priests.

His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT left town
yesterday, at two o'clock, attended by General
BLOOMFIELD, on a tour into the West of4England,&c.
After the grand dinner at Carlton-house on Tues-
day, the company retired to the lower suite of rooms,
where they listened to a concert performed by the
Duke of You's Band in the Conservatory. The
Royal party did not break up till a late hour. The
Duchess of CUMBERLAND, it is said, speaks tolerably
good English.
The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND travelled
from Dover to Londaa with a numerous suite, which
occupied eight carriages, each drawn by four horses. -

The Duke of BOURBON arrived id London this
forenoon. He came from the Fredch Capital by
Boulogne and Dover.
The Marquis of STAFFORD, we are sorry to state,
has lately had a serious attack of a spasmodic com-
plaint, and continues datigirously ill at his seat,
Trentham ball, in Staffordshire. Upon his being
taken ill, an express was immediately forwarded to the
Marchioness, at Dunrobin Castle, in Sutherland:hire.
DEATH OF THE EARL OF CHESTIERFIELDo.—AR ex-
press arrived about five o'clock yesterday afternoon,
at Chesterfield House, May-fair, from kis Lordship's
sear, Bradby Hail, Derbyshire. with the melancholy
intelligence that his Lordship died there on Tuesday
evening, about seven o'clock. He has left issue two
daughters and one son, Lord Srautiors, who, at the
age of ten years, now succeeds his Lordship in his
titles and estates. His Lordship had been unwell for
some time, but was not considered in any danger till
a few days since, when Dr. BAII.UE was sent for,
who remained with him till his dissolution. This no-
bleman was. at the time of his death, in his 60th
year : he WAS twice/married. first to ANNE, daughter
of THOMAS THISTLETHWAITE, D. D. of Narman-court,
Hants, by whom he had one daughter, who is since
dead, and afterwards to Lady HENRIETTA THYNNI,
sister to the Marquis of BATH, by whom he had the
son and two daughters who survive him. His Lord.
ship, who was the fifth Earl, was but distantly re-
lated to his celebrated predecessor, being descended
from ARTHUR STANHOPE, sixth sow of the said Earl,
wit.) obtained the title in the year 16'28. His Lord-
ship had not been in town for more than two years
previous to his death. The Noble Earl was equally
remat kable for the virtues of the Nobleman and the
Christian, and may be justly said to have fulfilled all
the duties implied-by his motto—. 4 Dee tt

'EAitiBURGH

A Hamburgh Mail and Frankfort Papers reached
us this morning. The following are the chief arti-
cles of their contents :
BRUSSELS, AUGUST 26.
We have just been favoured with a sight of 'the
very gracious letter which his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent of Great Britain, &c. wrote on the
7th of July last, to his Excellency the Hanoverian
Lientenant-General,, Sir Charles Alten, who was
severely wounded in the battle of the 18th of June.
The following are the contents :
" George, Prince Regent, acting for and in the
name of his Majesty, our father, George 111. by the
grace of GOD, King, am communicates to you.by
these presents, our gracious intentions.

14 Noble, beloved, and loyal, if on the one hand
we are deeply afflicted at the considerable loss which
our Hanoverian corps, confided to your orders, has
suffered in the memorable battles of the IGth and
18th of last month, we have had reason, on the other
hand, to feel peculiar satisfaction in learning the en-
logiums which you bestow in your account, upon the
distinguished courage and bravery of our valiant
Hanoverians, a testimony upon which we set the
higher value, as it comes from you, from a General
Aso has combated in so Many battles for his country
and the good cause, and has constantly distinguished
himself by his talents and l.'s bravery.
go It very sincerely ard:cts us to see you among the
number of those who arc wounded ; and it is, how-
ever, with pleasure that we perceive you were able to
retain the command of your troops, and that you
have the hope of being entirely recovered in a few
weeks.

" We have been very glad at receiving, with your
narration, the copy of the report which you made on
the 20th of last month► to our. beloved brother the
Duke of Cambridge, upon the said battles, by which
we have been perfectly informed of the plan of the
battle and of 411 the circumstances which have ac-
companied it. It will be the object of our particular
solicitude to recompence all those who have glo-
riously distinguished themselves before the enemy,
and we certainly shall not fail also to provide for the
widows and orphans of those who have fallen, fight-
ing fur their country. We wait for this end, only
for the proposals of our beloved brother the Duke of
Cambfrdge, whom your farther reports will soon
enable to realize our intentions.

" We charge you to express to the Hanoverian
army under your command, our entire satisfaction
with their good conduct in the said battles ; assuring
you, at the same time, that it is perfectly well known
to me how much is to be ascribed to the talents and
bravery with which you commanded them.—lt is
with sentiments of affection and favour, &c. &c.
(Signed) " GEORGE, PRINCE RECENT.
barium }101.6C, J my 7, 1613."

. Moir having given the General such a flattering
mark of his esteem, his Koyai highness h.is detgned
by a later resolution, to corer tai-on him and his
descendants the title of Count, as a rucompenct for
his distinguisbed services in the war in Spain and in
the battle of Waterloo.

His Royal Highness has been further pleased to
testifz his high satisfaction with the Hanoverian
troops who were present in this last battle, and to per•
mit them to bear, like the Eriglish troops, on their
colours and on their uniforms, the word Waterloo.

Te Prefect of Colniar came to B.tle on the 16th.
It was pretended that lie asked permission of the
Archduke John to go to Huninguen, in order to give
the Governor the tormal order of the King to deliver
op the fortress to the Allies, but it is more prob Able
that this journey related to some object of the admi-
nistration. It is affirmed that a general Government
is going to be established at Colmar.

Schulmeister, Napoleon's famous spy, passed through
here, going as prisoner of war to Wesel. He was
arrested at Paris by order of M. Gruner, Director of
the General Police, who has sent him to Wesel.—
Thus what the Journals have so frequently announced
without foundation, is at length true.

Counsellor Ribbentrop, the Iritendant‘Generei of
the Prussian Army, has caused the following letter
to be officially inserted in our Journal of this day t
Eaaon CORRECTED.-. 411 the 209th number et
the Frankfort Gazette, I find a letter in my name,
dated Julylls, according to which the connibutiGn of
100 millions of francs is said to be diminished to
eight millions. This publication did not proceed
from my pen, and must absolutely be founded on a'
mistake, since up to this moment nobody has thought
of any abatement of the above-mentioned military
contribution ; but, on the contrary, the extortions
which the cities of Berlin and Vienna, as well
as many considerable towns of the Russian Em-
pire, had to endure from the administration of the
French armies, are still far too deeply felt and re-
membered by the Austrians, Prussians, and Russians,
fur them to be willing to spew such indulgence to
the metropolis of Fronde, ornamented with the trea-
sures of plundered Nations. 1 am, however, the
anther of the paragraph inserted immediately after
this publication, according to which a present of
60,000 francs offered to me was put into the military
chest, and all such offers of presents forbidden in the
