Paris, Dec. 21.
The Sooth of Francs Is sot yet tranquil. At Alois,
In the department of the Gard, it was 'Oohed to de-,
stroy the Temple of the Protestants, but this act of
fury was prevented from being carried into execution.,
The Protestants, however, have been obliged to shut
up their Temple, and to renounce their worship for
some time. The Prefect of the Departrnaut of. Ven-
cisme repaired on the sth of this month to Carpen-
4res, for the psepose of setting at liberty a number
of peruses in custody on account of opinions. On
his setors to hvignon, the people testified their dis-
coolant. Tho Prefect ordered one of the instigators
to be arrested, but this gave rise to an insurrectipn,
la which he was ha the greatest danger. He succeed-
s& la elfectiag Ids escape, and went.to Carpentraa,
where he aseestblad some troops to order to re•euter.

Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday last have
been received. We submit every article of interest
t►hich they contain.
The subject of LAVALErneII escape seems to mo-
nopolize all attention. He has not been retaken,
notwithstanding all the vigilance of the Government,
which by a show. of continued diligence in searching
fur the fugitive, and by written defences in the
Papers, appears to manifest great anxiety to do
away the idea of having connived at his escape, or

allowed any tutnecessary delay in the execution of
the sentence. We give a translation of one of these
justificatory articles, which says the pronunciation
of the sentence was transmitted on Monday to
the Keeper of the Seals (BAnst 11.eueors),,stt
tace:reed, at the same time, the " demand if
a dully," *pea what ground is not stated. This de.
ruessa vas presented to his Majesty next day, Tues.
•esf; so that, says the French Paper, there could be
DO resalt, nor any turn given to this necessary and
legal delay till yesterday, when the culprit ►bscond-
ed. The mystery of " the delay end the demand"
is far from being removed by this illustration. No
such delay was allowed to NaY, after his sentence
was pronounced.

Itappears that at the date of these Papers, Madame
LkvAr,yrsz, though greatly indisposed, was still de-
!aimed in prison. The particulars of the escape,
mhich are given in tbe Journals, are almost precisely
the use as those etrownsuicated in the private
letters.

The Bight of LAVALITTI has not had a beneficial
effect ou the Fonds—they have rather declined since
the lea quotation. Whet is worse, it is affirmed that
the escape, though halted with satisfaction as a de.
fest to the Government by all who disapprove of its
measures, has tended greatly to heighten the dissa-
tisfaction among the military at the executions that
have taken place, as they seem to consider it the re.
suit of a system to protect all civil functionaries, and
let the weight of vengeance fall exclusively on the
military.
It was believed that the Report on the Amuesty
Bill would be made on Saturday.' "It was expected
with impatieuce.
Some more of our troops have left Paris. We now ,
proceed to our extracts.
PARIS, DEc. %l.—Some persons have been alto-
Malted, and have, perhaps, even complained of the'
slowness of a famous cause which has just been de-
cided with the most awful solemnity. This slowness
arose from the rigorous observance of all the fortis
of the legal authority, from which it was judged the
less proper to deviate the more celebrated the mi•!
veinal was, and the more evident the crime. The I
same regularity, the same attention to forms had
been shown in the trial of M. lavalette. There were
no delays but those of justice anti the law.
The pronunciation of the sentence was transmit-
ted on Monday to the Keeper of the Seals, who re-
ceived at the same time the demand of a delay
(rursis).
The following day this demand was presented to
his Majesty.. There could not then be any result,
Rey turn given to this necessary and legal delay till
yesterday, the very day
en which the prisoner ab-
sconded Alto justice, or from clemency.
The following are some details of the escape of
M. Leftism, which we ca, eismer ifor as being
exact :--
