pump- Tor SQCIETY OF LONDON:

The ansiety 'end inquiries of the Protestant So-
• piety of *London have.at least produced one good el-
,fect. These inquiries have become, to a very.consi-
derable class of Frenchmen, an opportunity for ma-
.. pitesting sentiments respecting' which the most perfi-
• dips malevolence cannot any longer express a doubt.
Fr.,n, all sides, the heads:and the members of the
Consivories are eager to prove, by the most authen-
tic Protestations and the molt-fcirmal declarations,
that n., real cause existed for the proceed?ags of the
pgciety in London, and that an excess of zeal alone
inipired that Society with its fears and inspicions.—
slue following is the extract from a letter which M.
iSlartiiifati de la Zalgue, President of the Consistory
pf ihelteformed Church at Clairac, has written to
his Excellency the Minister of the Interior, sending
to htm, at the same time, the letter which the So-
ciety of Limckan had addressed to all the consiitories
pa France :

Full of an entire confidence in his Majesty Louis
KVIII. my well tielbved King, 1 fool: for peace and
ttanytt.ility on the earth from him alone. The finest
Prot/Imes of protection and_ aid from . a foreign Go.
-Wertiment cannot make any imptession on my heart:
GOD, my Country, and. the Charter of my King, are
my sacred signs of rallying. and I n'ouldifie Ml=
thM ArSandon them.
e‘ These, Sir, are the sentiments whichl unceas-
ingly endeavour to fortify by my dis Courses and my
example in the minds and hearts of my flock, and
where they have long since been engraven ; and 1
dare affirm, without tear of contradiction, that the
King has not any subjects more devoted than the
rrotestarrs of Clairac."
We think it our duty to add to this new testi-
ninny, the following extract from an Address sent
to the King by the President, Pastors, and Membtrs
of the Reformed Consistories of the Department of
;be Ardeche :

Sire, your faithful subjects professing the Re-
formed Religion in the Department of the Ardeche
come to lay at the foot of the throne the respectful
homage c 4 their gratitude and lovp. They form no
body on the State; they do ire harbour the guilty
;!sought
,of forming one. 'Visited together by the
single hnnd of a critiontnn worship, they are -also uni-
ted to a!! your subjects by their sentiments for your
august person, and the precious title of Yo enchman is
sufficient for their happiness and glory'. It is in this
quality, Sin,, that they come to swear to your Ma-
jesty as unlimited 6 .Iclity.
They have no complaints to make, no petition
to offir; they -rely implicitly on your justice and
goodness. The tribute which they presume to offer
to you is egtealy pure and disinterested; and their
languaze must be that of unalterable gratitude and
;mare devotion.
61 While the torch of fanaticism, repressed by your
Majesty, has been shaken in less happy districts, they
'lave emistantly enjoyed all the liberty guaranteed by
via Charter, the immortal offspring of your noble
wisdom, and the pledge of your goodness. No at-
tempt has been made to check the imptlhe of their
f.mscieoice, to oppose their devotions which they pub.
licly practise, and in which they terxently pray for
yoor safety and happiness.
_ _

" You come to secure to us for ever that internal
tranquilliq which can alone serve as the basis for the
public pi nsperity. That tutelary amnesty, proposed
sn your name, by your Ministers, has subdued all
hatreds, dissipated • all alarms, calmed all resent-
ments, re,tstablisheg universal confidence, and bltn-
dtld .into one coninion sentiment of gratitude and
love the differences of opinion which party spirit had
fomented.

le Sire, poitterity "will place the name of Louis
XVIII. betwetn elOse of Louis XII. and Henry IV.
The latter, wow was your ancestor and your model,
has always been to the Protestants of FLAUCC the ob-
ject of a sort of adoration. We love, Sire, to disco-
•_T him again in you : and if ottr ancestors had the
glory of powerfully conttibuting. towards placiug him
On t throne which:b4s become your inheritance, we
will prove, by our conduct towards your sacred per.
son, that the Protestants of the present day have the
same love And the same fidelity for the august family
of the Bourbons which animated the Protestants of
two centuries back.

" We are, Sire, with the most profound respect,
your Nlojebty's most humble and most obedient ser-
vants and 1,14;4'0 subjects, the Presid.qus, Pastors,
and NI: tubers ut the Reformed Consistories of the
Departments of the Ardeche."

Of the three English Officers . who have been ar-
rested, Captain Hutchinson is the only one actively
attached to the army now in France.
It is said the English Officers Bruce, Wilson,
and Hutchinson, have agreed at their different inter-.
Togatories, in an absolute denial of the charges
against them.
From the different intedogatories which have been
pnt to the Enylish Officers who have been arrested
on account of the escape of I....avalette, it appears cer-
tain that there is s yet not a single Frenchman in-
volved in the charge.
They write from London to Brussels that one of
the domestics of Bonaparte bad been sent back to
Europe, Admiral Cockburn suspecting that under
dress of a servant was concealed a personage of
high rank.
The individuals included in the second article of
the Ordinance of the 24th July, and who by his Ma-
jesty's Ordinance of the 17th instant (inserted tes-
terday), are to quit the kingdom ity the 25th Fe-
bruary, are—
smut, Alit, Ezeelmana, Maret, Whet, Feli; Lapelletier,
