PRIVATE LETTER.
Pans, May 90.
Al private accounts present the Sautk
s'ancf as being in state of great per-
turbation. At an Dcousiderable town of
the name OF Mlhaud, situated between
Rhodes and Toulouse, and containing ma.
ny Protestant inhabitants, overt acts IF n
violent iature have taken place. Droad-
iui ARRAYS have also occurred at Eisoire. =
town IN AuvelgDe.-Th whole Of the 90.
venues IS stated to be in great fefmept.
Lyons continues in a state of apparent
tranquility, owing to the strong repressi.-
on maintained by the hand of power. AZ
Dlyon and ITS vicinity, eighty-four persoDg
OF consequence were arrested on the occa.
sion OF the late Instruction at Grenoble.
and the strong symptoms Of similar event
nanllesting themselves in the capital oF
burgundy. These insurrectionary move.
lnehts occur in an opposite direction from
mat IN which they have hitherto appeared

scend from the capital TO tile provinces.
but they proceed from the peasantry 70 thc
inhabitants OF small towns, from ihose of
greater, until at length they will reach the
capital, thus pervadins the whole kingdom.
| may be safely asserted, that the fear a.
lone OF the allies suspeuds the general O.

eminent Characters here havi been lately
