A dreadful assassioatioa has been, committed at
Mervejolslies?Cairdens,, one of the chielsources of j
the rebellion in the Gardongettqwe, of which the
Abbe Esgrigny was the victim. This worthy eccle.,
siastio was on his way frem Paris to Nissen, to be '
presets* at the operations of the Electoral College of
the department, of which he was a Member. Heleft
Niames on the 2.4 th of August, for Mairejols, where
his estates are situated. On the Wth he paid a whit
to oneof his friends in the country. On his refusal
towards evening, h! was attacked in his meadow
close to his house, by hoer assessing, who fired their
muskets at him • he escaped three shots by threw.
in himself behind a tree, the trunk of which vereived
the halls, but the fourth assassin having 'chanced, hit
him, and he fell with his thigh fractured.
The villain then coolly reloaded his *musket, sod
was about to put an end to his victim, when a girl,
12 years of age, whom the firing had bioeght out of
the house, ran and threw herself before—her master,
protesting that they should not kill him before they
had killed her also. This determined the assassins to
make off. A surgeon who was called from a neigh.
booting village, said he would not risk conveying
the Abbe to Marrejoh, for further medical aid, with.
oat an escort of 300 men, and the wounded man re.
wined 22 hours, eithoot proper assistance. He
died on the 20th, after forgiving his aseassies„ ac-
cording to the precepts of his religion. He has left
a memory justly revered, and friends incensolable
for his less. This family has been very astortaaate.
There were three brothers : the elder was massacred
at Alois'' in the beginning of the Revelation, by
those who then called themselves Patriots;. the Ito•
