PARIS, JANUARY 17.
COPY OP A NOT/1 ADDEE,SsIED TO THE ENGLISH AM•
iIASSADOH IT THE DUC D 6 RICHELIEU.

" Paris. January 13, 1816.
" It is with the most lively feelings of pain and
regret that the undersigned sees himself obliged to
make known to his Excellency Sir C:latles Stewart.
that several subjects of his Britannic Majesty appear
to have taken an active put in culpable manoeuvres
directed against the Government of the King,.
4‘ His'Excelleney will see by the letter hereto an-
nexed, .which the undersigned has just received from
the Minister of Police, that Sir R. Wilson,. Mr.
Bruce, and another individual, who is believed to be
an English gentleman, are accused of having fa-
voured the escape of Lavalette. Their trial is going
'to commence; but the undersigned, is announcing
it to Sir Charles Stewart, is forward at the same time
to give him the assurance, that they will enjoy fully
all the facilities which our laws afford for their justi-
fication; and that the protecting forms of trial will
be religiohsly observed towards them.
The undersigned, in making this communica-
don to the English Ambassador, as a consequence
of the particular regard which his Court on every oc-
casion entertains towards the Government of his
Britannic Majesty, has the honour to renew, &c."
The judicial process relative to the three English-
men arrested by order of the Minister of Police, is
going on with great activity before the Tribunal of
the first instance. It is affirmed that proof has al-
ready been !obtained, that one of them personally
assisted in the eacape of Luvalette ; that he supplied
him with the uniform of an English General, and a
passport from the Ambassador, and escorted him as
far as the frontier, wearing himself the distinctive
marks of his rank, and being accompanied by an
Officer of his nation. It cannot be doubted that the
English Government and people will disavow a few
individuals, who have violated their duty as much
to their country as to France, by committing an act
contrary to the political rights of all nations, and to
the good understanding that subsists between France
and -England. The honour of the English army will,
above 01, be offended at learning that the uniform
of an English Officer, and the character of an Eng-
lish Major-General, were employed to ensure the.
impunity of a great criminal. This event however,
has, by a fortunate and singular accident, thro*n
some light upon a fact which had for some days agi-
tated the public opinion. It appears certain that,
among the parrs of one of the prisoners, there was
found the original manuscript of a memorial ridicu-
lously attributed to the Ambassador of a great Power,
and publicly circulated with intentions connected
with a systematic plan of malevolence, the authors of
which are thus unmasked, and delivered up to the
examination of the tribunals.

The Chamber of Deputies continued to be occu-
pied yesterday in discu.stug the Budget in the Stand-

The Prevotal Court of the Department of the
Seine will be installed next Thursday.
The pretended Dauphin of France (or Louis
XVII.) who lately made his appearance at Rouen,
has been recognized as a lunatic who had long since

On the 10th of elis month, Fouche, the mock

The King yesterday gave a dinner of forty covers

Duchess d'Escars. The Duke de Richelieu and
Prince Talleyrand were present, as well as the Du-

PROMTANT SOCIETY OF LONDON.—The ditturb-
ances in the South, of which the activity of the poli-
tical passions, and not the difference of religious opi-
nions, was the principle and source, arc at present
totally appeased ; and the return of the Duke of
Angouleme to Paris, is the surest pledge of the peace
and concord which now reign* those countries which
had been momentarily in a state of agitation. The
most perfidients malevolence only could have per-
waded itself, or endeavoured to make others believe,
that the mildest and most liberal of Governments
bad provoked these dissensions, by a system of into-
lerance and persecution as remote from the disposition
of our Princes as from their maxims t and there is,
doubtless, reason to be surprized that a Society in'
London should have listened to 'such insinuations,
and participated in prejudices so Absurd. One might
even experience a much stronger feeling at seeing the
seal of this Society carry it to the length of interest-.
ing itself in an effective manner in affairs regarding
which it had received cnly false information, and
which might have envenomed the indiscretion of an
imprudent zeal. This,seal too did not limit its opera.
tion to the departments of the South. We have be-
fore us the copy of the-same circular, addressed to
the Consistory of Calvados and the Orne. The sub-
joined answers, which came so appositely in aid of
the Report which his Excellency the Duke of Wel-
lington thought it his duty to make to the Society of
London, must surely have contributed to rectify the
very erroneous ideas which, doubtless, have been in-
spired only by a sentiment, the purity of which could
not be equivocal.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE REFORMED CONSISTORIAL
CHURCH OF TILE UPPER GARONNE, TO THE REV.
THOS. MORGAN, LONDON.
TooL9ess, Dn. so, ISIS.
6 Sir—With the most lively feelings of acknow-
ledgment towards the Ministers assembled on the 23d
and 28th November, at the Library, Red Cross.
street, I received and read some days ago the Circu-
lar Nhich the Rev. M. Clot tt did me the honour to
address to me in the name of die Committee of those
Pastors of which you are the Secretary. I doubt not
that those of my colleagues in France who have re-
ceived the same Circular, experience the same feel-
ing, and will express it with ill the sensibility it ex.
cited ; but, Sir, since the Itev. M. Cloutt invites me,
in his Postscript, to give you all the information in
my power, I shall devote the remainder of my letter
to that point. •
•' It would appeik, film your circular, that the
reports in the public papers as to the events at Nissan,
and the information which has been addressed to you

--• _ • .
ou that subject, have indtteol Su relieve that'
all the Protestants.were persecuted, and have already
been almost entitely dispersed. But, Sir, this is an
error into which yon have been led, and which, by
esciting your charity, has induced your to propagate
these false reports, both by the solemnity of your
meetings at London, and by your circular.
66 It is true, that at Nismes, the only theatre of
some events of this kind, a number of individuals
have been sufferers from popular effervescence, and
that the Protestant churches were there for some time
shut: but besides that these events, though very un-
fortunate, were not of such magnitude as you repre-
sent them ; besides, that the churches were only shut
as a measure of prudence, in pursuance of a con-
sistorial resolution, I owe it to truth, justice, and gra-
titude, to tell you that our Government, both by it-
self and its delegates, has never ceased to testify its
indignation against the excesses which may have
been committed, and to oppose them.
46 Never will the Protestants of the South of
Frat.ce forget with what force, for instance, his Royal
Highness the Duke d'Angouleme, one of our illus-
trious Princes, spoke in all the towns of the South of
our rights as French citizens, and of the 6rm resolu-
tion of the King, as well as of his august family, to
maintain our Constitutional Charter, which grants
fulland entire protection to our worship.
I' I myself, a few days ago, having had the honour
to be admitted to the presence of his Royal Highness,
received from his mouth, and relatively to that pro-
tection, the noblest as well as strongest assurances.
I can therefore tell you, my dear Sir, that notwith-
standing the particular misfortunes which have afflict-
ed Nismes, there is certainly no country in Europe
where more peace, security, and religious liberty
are enjoyed, than what, thanks to GOD and the en-
lightened virtues of our good Monarch, we enjoy
here.

46 I think, then, I may conclude from all this— •
Ist. That the information which has been given you
hitherto as to our situation has not been quite cor-
rect :-2d. That the intentions of our King, in re-
gard to us, are so evidently just, Christian, and pa.
ternal, that the interference of a foreign power, how.
ever worthy of gratitude in its motives, appears to me
totally useless.
46 hope, that while you communicate this opinion
to your venerable colleagues, and calm by these
details their fraternal solicitude, you will also be
pleased to express to them the sincere testimony of
my very lively gratitude for the touching interest
they have condescended to take for us under present
circumstances. I am, Sir, most particularly, your
very humble servant, (Signed) 66 CHANKAUD."
REPLY OF THE CONSISTORY OF CALVADOS AND THE
02011 TO THE LETTER OF A PROILSTANT MAILEi
AT LONDON.

K GENTLEUEN—The Consistory of the Consisteni 4
Church of Calvados and the Orne, slave received the
letter which you did them Inc he:nour to wri:e to
them. You cannot doubt the sin.:ere feelings of
acknowledgment inspired by the interest which you
take in the tate of the Protestants of France, and it
is solely to testify to you this gratitude that the Con-
sistory have resolved, in the absence of their Presi•
dent, to write to you the present.
•• Far from experiencing the slightest persecution,
the Protestants of Calvados and Orne have constantly
1 eceived from Government, and the local Authori-
ties, proofs of the most impartial justice, and the most
unequivocal protection.
•• We cannot, therefore, form any wishes for the
present, and the future is secured to us by the liberal '
Charter which our august and well-beloved Sove.
reign has given to us, by the goodness of his heart, I
by the infallibility of his promises; in fine, by all the
virtues which so eminently 'distinguish both himself'
and all the members of his august and cherished
family. (Signed)

" THE 'Amino OF THE CONSISTORY."

If the Society of London did not find sufficient
motives of conviction in this correspondence; ii even,
what is not very credible' the report of his Excellency
the Duke of Wellington had not been able to remove
all their doubts, and to calm all the anxieties of their
seal, we should hope that all uncertainty will vanish
before the following letter,-written by a Prince whose'
good faith, integrity, and candour equal his valour ;
who speaks of what he has seen; who relates what
he has himself directed, and who expresses his own
sentiments as he describes the dispositions and state
of the provinces which his presence has recalled to
union and tranquillity :

well pleased to see that you do perfect justice to the
paternal intentions and solicitude of the King on

PAWS, JANUARY 14.
'a 'thee has 'existed for some date past in thi
Court, and atpong the Ministers,a degree of inquie-
tude and alarm, which it is easy to perceive, but of
which it is difficult to divine the true cause. 'lt is
cer-
tain that the Russian and Prussian troops are making
movements, which indicate on their put a disposition
to return to Paris, or its eavirons.

16 With respect to the English troops it is certain
that they are about to return to the capital, to the
number of 15,000 men ; during the last three or four
days, they have resumed their posts at the barrier on
the North, and it was remarked that the cannons,
which were still at Montmartre, had been turned upon,
Paris. It is said even that a depot of Congreve roc-
kets has been established upon that height.
44 The following is the alleged causes of arrange.
menu, so contrary both to the Treaty, and the hopes
which it excited:
66 It has been remarked that the soldiers of the
Royal Guard expressed, somewhat openly, sentiments
unfavourable to the King's cause; they complain
that they are cloathed like servants, and employed in
the occupations of servants, and above all, they seem
to take very ill, being commanded by young Officers
who have never seen a campaign, nor have any other
claim to promotion but their berth, to which they at.
tach no importance ; in short, disgusted with the vexa-
tions which they undergo, the soldiers desert in
crowds. During one night sixty were absent at the
muster.

" The King is alarmed ; he has appealed to his
friend the Duke of Wellington, tivho has consented
that the Etsglish troops should return to Paris.
" The Russian Ambassador does not wish that the
English alone should occupy Paris; the Prussians in-
terfere, and if they do not come to some understand-
ing we shall•-be overwhelmed with these Allies, who
have already ruined us.
41 Some politicians attach to all these circumstances
very extensive plans ; they behold in the movements
of the English troops dispositions favourable to the
Government; they imagine that Russia thinks seri.
ously of the Prince of Orange; in short, they think
it is decided upon to overthrow the Bourbons. Time
alone can explain all.

“ PARIS, JANUARY 15.
44 I mentioned to you, in my letter of yesterday.
the return of the English troops to Paris^ The matter
has been thus arranged : the King, who has been for
some days uneasy, not only at the manner in which
the promulgation of the Law of Amnesty was re-
ceived, but at the sort of discontent which prevails
throughout the whole kingdom, demanded of the
Duke of Wellington to let six thousand of his troops
return to Paris. The Duke replied, that he could
not permit so small a binnber to return, until the na-
tional guard should be disarmed, without which it
would be risking their lives, in the midst of so nume-
rous a population. The King not relishing this ad.
vice, the Duke proposed to send twenty-five thou-
sand men ; the King required twenty-four hours to
return a definitive answer. On the following day he
consented, and in consequence the movement imme-
diately commenced. Aix thousand men entered yes-
terday morning into this capital.
” Notwithstanding these troops have returned at the
request of the King, some_persons imagine that their
presence will not be advantageous to his cause.—
They say, that the English Government has, for a
long time, had it in contempletion to put another
person on the throne, that it has even negociated with
Russia upon this subject, who wished that it should
be the Prince of Orange; that Prussia did not concur
in this plan, but it was obliged to enter into the views
of Russia, because of the internal commotions with
which she is menaced.

Davuust has received an order to quit Paris in
24 hours; and Serrurier has been put upon halt-pay.
One hundred and seventy General Officers have been
cashiered : the Minister at War, in announcing this
decision to them, stated that it had been determined
upon because they had checiedilse spring of legitimacy.
"extraordinary courier arrived here yesterday,
bringing intelligence to the Duke de Richelieu of an
insurrection at Berlin, in which several persons
cached to the Court had been sacrificed. All the
Journals have.been forbidden to speak of this news,
as well as of the movements of the Russian and.
Prussian troops upon Paris."

The Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday ar-
rived yesterday. The extracts which we have given
respecting the French Protestants pore, what was
never doubted, that there was no persecution any
where but in the neighbourhood of Nismes. They
prove more—that the general odium—the expression
of public opinion excited throughout Europe, by the
enormities perpetrated at Nismes, have produced a
beneficial effect. The anxiety manifested to give the
crimes another complexion, augurs well for the peace
of the world c it is, in fact, an avowal that perse- '
cation is not justifiablei—a pledge that, however
indiscreet and intemperate some individuals may be,
neither the KING nor the Government will give coun-
tenance to such a flagrant violation of the Constitu-
tion. We fully acquit the KING of the smallest pre-
'ions knowledge of the enormities that have been
perpetrated, and We give him full credit for the pro-
tection promised to eff his subjects ; brit we will not
easily be led to believe, that no inquiry ought to be
made—that those who were murdered are still alive
that the murderers ought not to be brought to justice,
whether they killed their victims asSoaaitartistr or as
liugonetn- •

The.extracts which irellive inserted'in our columns
are curious and interesting; and furnish some kind,
of evidence that all is not quiet below the snrfaee.!
Indeed some of the letters go so far as to hint that a
conspiracy of it revolutionary nature has just bein
detected; and to this discovery is attributed thels.
suing of the order mentioned is the Paris loaperstfor
patroling the streets, and a request made by the
KING to the Duke of WaLusorota (mentioned in
private letters) that the British troops may still conti-
nue to occupy the capital. The following is an ex-
tract of one of the letters to which we allude :

di I can inform you of a circumstance which :ap-
pose you cannot yet have heard of, the authenti-
city of which you may perfectly rely upon, as it came
direct from the Duke of Wzt.r.tNcrrow. It relates to the
detection of a conspiracy of coluideralle extent, and
the troops are now certain to remain here some time-
longer. Yesterday twenty-seven persons were taken
into custody, but the Papers are quite silent upon
the subject, and the examinations are priiate.—
Thursday last was to have been the day for the com-
mencement; and amongst the papers which have,
been seized were the names and 'addresses of the,
principal British Officers, as 'they were to have
suffered first. Double Gtritrds are posted at the
Thuilleries, as well as at all the other places; and
since Thursday there has been extra guards of 200
men to patrole the streets. The utmost vizilancs is sued
to heels Mini: pia."

A Mail from Holland arrived this morning. The
only article worth notice in the Belgian Papers is a
Decree of the King of PRUSSIA suppressing all secret
societies, with a few exceptions in favour of some
Mason Lodges which are specially enumerated, but
cautioned against indulging in political assemblies.
