PERSECUTED PROTESTANTS IN PRANCE.

The Cqmmittee of as The Protestant Society for
the Protection of Religious Liberty" have been im-
pelled by no party_feelings to manifest their interest
for the Protestants in the South of France. Party
motives- they have invariably and justly disclaimed.
To their own Government they cherish an attach-
ment independent and sincere. For that of France
they have no desires but that it should be rendered
permanent by the attachment of all the people, and
that such attachment should be insured by the com-
munication of those blesfings which civil and reli-
gious freedom only can bestow. They have been in-
fluenced by obligations which they esteem sacred to
advocate the rights of conscience, and to offer their
sympathies and their relief to the victims of persecu-
tion, although suffering in a foreign land?
That necessity required the efforts which they have
amide, and which other public bodies throughout this
Einpite have. nobly' supported, .they cannot doubt,
nor can they doubt that those efforts have already.

These determinations have been confirmed by the
recut attempts made to distract and prejudice the
public mind. In those attempts the Committee have
perceived a design to.divert attention from t'he evils
which our own Government acknowledged and de-
plored ; to overwhelm truth by clamour, and to per-
petuate a neglect to the oppressed, or to invigorate
the arm of the oppressors.
Designs sn injurious they conceive themselves re.
coned to resist and counteract. Nu means more el.
sectual for such resistance do they perceive, than the
eaposition of some of those facts which justify their
past interposition, and illustrate the real present situa-
tion of those persecuted brethren, whom they WWI&

NOTE
RESPECTING THE PROTESTANTS OF TIIR DKPARTMEXT
OP VIE GARD, AND THE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED IN
THAT COUNTRY IN 1814 AND 1815.

THE OARD BEFORE AND VORIS° TDB REVOLVTON.
The Department of the Gard comprehends 3:?2,000
inhabitants, out of whom 122,000 profess the Protes-
tant Religion. These 1'22,000 pay one half of the
contributions of the Department ; and by their in-
dustry, both in agriculture and commerce, support a
considerable portion of the other inhabitants of the
Gard, and even of the Ardeche and Lozere.
The Protestants, whose existence in France was
not legal before the just and beneficent concessions of
Louis the 16th. generally adopted with as much en-
thusiasm.as, the immense majority of the French, the
liberal ideas which prevailed at the Revolution of •
1789, bet abhorred the excesses of 1793 and 1794..
They shed tears on the dreadful murder of the King,
and under the dominion et the Federalibt. they for-
cibly resisted the tyranny of the Convention ; the con-
sequence was, that out of 150 persons who perished
at Nismes under the revolutionary axe, 117. were Pro.
testants, among whom were the Ministers of their
worship; and in the Revolutionary Tribunal, which'
was composed of Lawyers and Priests, who con-
formed, there was nut one Pr otestant.
The dreadful Government of Tetror ceased at
throughout France. The Protestants, equa:ized with
All other Frenchman, did not exercise in the Gard
any particular son of power or influence. The Judi-
ciary Authorities were almost all composed of Catho-
lics, who alone before 1789 could bo civilians, and
out of the civilians the Judges were chosen. No Pre-
fect was appointed but from among the Catholics;
and if in the inferior Tribunate Protestants were
found, it was only in a smaller number, and in pro.
portion to the pepulatien or local conveniencies. Per-
tidy, therefore, or misinformation, could alone assert
that the Protestants had e;ercised an exclusive power
and made a wrong use of it in the Gard.

tants of the city of Motes—the, former, •with great
affectation and grand pomp, assisted at the revival'
of processions and outward religious ceremonies, ell
disused for a long time according to law. Many of
them, by addresses, petitioned for the recall 'of the
Jesuits, and some of them manifested a frantic and
unseasonable zeal.
They composed, and publicly sang along the streets
songs, the burden whereof was, that they ought to
wa►h their hands in the Protestant blood. The Mi-
nisters of worship were insulted, and the report was
spread abroad that some men of distinction had said
that there could be na tranquillity in the country but
after another St. Bartholomew's day.
On their side, the Protestants, exasperated. replied
with some pride. that their ancestors had replaced
Henry IV. upon the French throne. thought they
were as good Frenchmen as the Catholics, claimed
justice and protetiorf, and complained of their denial.
In fine, had it not been for the enlightened toleration.
of the King. his Ministers. and particularly the Mi-
nister of the Interior—had it not been for the pru-
dence of the local authorities, and the excellent un-
derstanding of the Catholic and Protestant Clergy,
one might have teen Frenchmen, though equally
submitted to the Royal authority, cutting each other's
throats, for opinions which should have been absorbed
in•an unanimous sentinsent of veneration and attaelt-
ment to the King. •
TIPS GARD DURING THE USURPATION. •

In the mean time the Usurper entered France, wad
the inhabitants of the Gard. like all the French, wen:
struck with stupor. His Royal Highness the Doke
Angotileme came to Nismes, where he fixed hiN
head-quarters, itnd issued a proclamation, which all
the inhabitants, for their own happiness, should have
considered as the rule of their conduct.

Several young men, of the richest families among'
the Protestants, enlisted in the Royal army--..a1l con-
tributed sums of money, more or less considerable ;
but the Protestants of the inferior class, it must be
confessed, did not spew the same eagerness te enlist.
The common people every where reason but little,
and feel strongly. They had been quiet during 6f
teed years with respect to religions opinions ; they
had no longer been so these ten months. Can it be
astonishing that men, every day insulted and me-
naced, esu'd remain with their families to defend
them ? The Cathorie Chies spewed so much the,
more devotedness, and by every means in their power
increased the number of volunteers who offered to join
the army. Qn the other side, the troops of the hoe,
the ball-pay officers stimulated the Protestants, and
by promising to protect them, exaggerated their ap*-
prehensimis.
It most be remembered, however, that k was the
Citliolics who directed all measures in favour of the
Usurp:4 and who, during the short moments of his
lung reign, have executed criminal revenge against
those most devoted to tl& King and the Royal
Vo-
lunteers. It was they who had been the first authors
of all the misfortunes felt in.the Gard. It will be
stiflicient to mention the General Gilly, Comman-
der of the Division and Commissionary Extraor-
din:iry, and to refer to his numerous followers, to be
convinced of this truth.
. THE GARD ONCE THE KING'S RETURN.

Their mischievous power was, however, exercised
with A 101 l energy, when the battle of Waterloo, the
abdication of the Usurper, and the return of the lewd-
mate Sovereign, changed the face of things. Cora-
-1 usissioners cf his Royal Highness the Duke of An.
gouleme, men devoted to the Royal cause, but ;goo.
rant of affairs, things, and men, for more than 25
years, were sent into the Gard. They were not sen-
sible that they could no longer. stop the impulse they
gave. They :acted inconsiderately, and the white
cockade, put up in some places before the moment
fiord by prudence, W4l tinged with French blood,
'shed by Frenchmen.
The despotism of the Usurper's agents, and the
_conscription of the citizens, ceased at Nismes on Silly
15. The white flag and the white cockade were put
up, and the whole population of this town, without
any distinction of wors!aip, unitedly devoted them-
selves to joy and happiness; when pretended Royal
troops came to bring desolation and 'heath into that
populous and interesting city. Taere was a small
garrison in the barracks of Nismes, by offering it a
.capitulation, it was enticed to surrender. " Scarcely
bad the poor soldiers laid down their arms, and left
the barracks, when they were massacred. The mai.
tart' chest of the Gendarmerie was plundered, the
*Gendarmes put to flight, the city guard disarmed.=
Then the pretended royal troops, tearing no resistance,
committed dioarders and excesses, which their chiefs
had not been able to foresee, and could not stop.
During several months, in a distance of ten miles
around Nissnes, all the Piotestant villages were put
under contribution, plundered, or laid waste ;—the
isolated villas burnt down, pillaged, or ransacked ;
the vineyards destroyed; the olive trees cut down, the
corn taken away from the farms. Men were not more
spared that' properties, many have been massacred,
others proscribed, hunted after like wild beasts. All
these horrors were perpetrated with shouts 0144 Long

cent countries, the cities of Nismes and Uzes were
the scenes of all sorts of excess. The houses of pre.
tended Bonapartist: were ransacked, the inhabitants
forced to pay a ransom, and the unhappy victims who
bad no property to plunder of money to deliver, were
massacred—they bed nothing but their lives, which
were taken from than. Five brothers, among others,
perished in that manner at Nismes.. The Protestant
women were not better, used than their husbands.
Being insulted,strock with bats, through which nails
were driven, they were afraid 'to go out of their
houses or if their daily wants called them out of
doors, they often returned hustle, but -bleeding. Many
died in consequence of such shocking treatment. Yet
'the Authorities were silent,. or perhaps, said—" diet

At Uses, in 24 hours, they raised n contribution,of
