PARIS, Nov. 21.—1 t is affirmed, that Marshal
Ney, profiting from the liberty which has been
granted him by the Chamber of Peers, has, indeed,
presented before the Commencement of their pro.
ceedings against him, his objections. The accused
demands, that a law should be made prescribing the
forms to he observed in the trial. Should this re-
quest be admitted by the Court of Peers, the trial
will necessarily he postponed for some days. A joss

Oar Readers will rejoice with us to perceive,
that the situation of the persecuted Protestants
in • France, has, at length, excited an atten-
tion among
.the friends of religious freedom and
humanity in this country which is not confining it-
self to mere expressions of sympathy..
'We have already noticed the Meeting and praise-
worthy Resolutions of the Dissenting Ministers of
the Metropolis on this subject ; and we add, with
pleasure, that on the same day the Society for the
Protection of Religions Liberty was also convened,
and entered into, a series of excellent Resolutions,
which will be found inserted in this day's Paper.—
As this Society ;glandes many Members of the Esta-
blished Church, and represents all the Protestant
Dissenters in England and Wales, any expression
of their sentiments deserves, and must obtain, much
respect. To their exertions the Dissenters were.
principally indebted for the rejection of the Bill in-
troduced by Lord SIDDIOUTIL—for the repeal of .thei
Conventicle Acts, and for the Other advantages they
have recently obtained. • .
We earnestly hope an example so worthy 'of imi-
tation will be followed by all who're of opinion that.
the Protestant faith deserves protection ; and that tilt
Governmentsoiho look with apathy on the sutYerings
of a loyal Protestant population sill be convinced
of the necessity of supporting the cause of humanity
and Christianity ; and that Protestant liberality and
Protestant interests ought not to suffer, because Pro-
testant valour and Protestant peneserance. bare
tritimphed.

LONDON:

FaIDAY, Novinstit 24, 1815.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday last reached us this
forenoon. They are chiefly occupied with the report
of the proceedings in LAY ILEITeS trial, which
commenced bef•'re the Court of . Assize on Monday
last. To the few particulars which have been corn.
municated through private channels, of the com-
mencement of this trial, we make as ample an addi-
tion from the Papers as our limits will permit. LA-
VALETTE is accused of treason, in having participated
in the conspiracy which brought back BomArAnv.
(for the BoußßoNs and Bourbonites will have it that
it was all the result of eonspiricy), and of having
t..ken forcible possession of the General- Post Office,
and turning out M. FERIt %ND, the Director. General,
as soon as he heard that BONAPUITS was at Fontein.
Went'. LAYACETTE had been Director-General of
the Post-Office fur thirteen years previous to the
first return of the King. M. FURAND, a furious
Royalist, was nominated to the situation by the King
after his arrival. Wl:en Box.sr.tart in his tars made
