yernment has commanded the Chamber to
proceed to the trial without delay.
Private letters are said to have been re-
ceived from the South of France, stating
the renewal of the prosecutions of the pro-
testants in that quarter, ifindeed they
have been at all suspended. On The 18th
OF October, seven of the principal inhabi-
tants OF Nismes, protestants, were assas-
sinated. A wretch of the name of Thris-
talon, was the leader of the catholic band
of assasins on this occasion, and has since
been arrested. On former occasion, it
is added, he was set.at liberty, on &C
count of his threatening to disclose the
names of his employers We shall now
see, whether the French Government
will bring him tojustice. The Duke of An
gouleme is now in the south we shall see
whether this Prince so much Hattered both
by French and sEmglish newspapers, will
clear himself of those suspicious which
have been expressed respecting his politi-
cal principles, by affording that protecti-
on to the protestants which the lawsgive
them. Surely this subject is of sufficient
Importance for the interposition OF the alli-
ed powers.
Extract ofa Letter from Paris, dated
.Nov. LIZ.
The Court on both days of Ney's trial,
presented spectacle the most imposing |;
it was crowded with strangers of the
highest distinction. Lord Castereash,
Sir G Stuart, the Duke of Richmond, and
great crowd Of German Officers of high
rank, decorated with stars and ribbons,
occupied the seats on the right and lett Of
the Bench. All the avenues leading 10
the court were strongly guarded tho
force stationed in this manner must have a.
mounted to very near two thousand men.
( The intention to rescue Ney is attributed
to the jacobin party. There has been a
marked curious change in the tone of this
party respecting him lately /; when twas
supposed his lie would be spared by the
clemency of the king they were clamorous
for his blood Il that now it is proposed to
let justice take its course, they talk OF no
thing but his valor, his services and his de-
votion to France. This day, at IL o'clock
he made disappearance; almost the whole
audience rose from their seats; his pre-
sence produced a lively sensation, and a
short pause ensued. The President invi-
ted him to set down in an arm chair
placed on small platform opposite
to the members of the court he made
slight Inclination his body when invi.
ted to sit down. He were simple militia
ny frock without facings !; he had piece Of
Grape upon his right arm, and also some
thing in the form of cOckade in his cock.
ed hat he, of course, had not the white
cockade. He appeared to be in good
health and not depressed, though occa
sionally agitated. He protested against
the competency to try him, with firmness
and in the most respectful manner; ant
after reading his protest from written pa
per, concluded with asking the indulgence,
Of the court for his advocate Nj. Berryer,
sat down with the utmost sang irod.
long discussion took place upon the ad
mission of unautheniic papers which wer,
at length rejected by the court. ;"

not pretend of course, to be acquainted
with their contents, but we have reason t
believe that the treaty of peace will no
be brought to this country till at least
day or two hence.
Onthe Partisan statements respectiu
the treaty, we have only to remark, tina
our own intelligence above is preferable
