NIMES, AUGUST 11.  PRIVATE LETTER. /I'Vesterday was a day of triumph for all the fa• natical and bigoted populace of Mimes. The famous brigand, Trestaillon, returned to his home at ten o'clock in the morning. His accomplices, who like him haie escaped the justice of the laws, were about to raise triumphal arches before his house, and to form a procession through all the city, accompanied by hautboys and tambourines, but it ie believed that ' the Authorities interfered to prevent these public transports, and these things did not take place.— Nevertheless this brigand received the visits of more than tanks Asgard persons. whose acclamations al. most split the head (a rustles), as they cried in Patois Lou rq dsis Sour:gas a arrive—The King of the Bourgadeso is arrived. le The arrival of this monster, with the title all King. within our walls, has put an end to the mystery, and has explained to us why some victims have been put to death on the scaffold, thers destined to ascend it, others sent to the rallies for life, or for many years, and why others are groaning in the prisons, while their accusers—the murderers of their families, and the robbers of their property, have been triumphantly acquitted, are enjoying the ease and comfort procured by their crimes, and are eagerly employed in celebrating with their Chief his return to this city. " This mystery is further explained by the conversation which the robber Magne, General of the banditti assembled at Beaucaire in June 1815, had a few days since with a citizen of Nismes, who was travelling the same route, on the subject of the arrest of the fanatical Boisin, the assassin of General La Garde. Replying to a question which the citizen put to him on this subject, Magne said—' This man will not perish ; it is the policy and the interest too' of the Government to save him, that it may not weaken the party.'—Magne spoke from experience. " In general the fanatics of this Department are determined to do nothing which is contained in the Royal Ordonnances, but as it is conformable to their will. It is for this reason that they will not reorganise the National Guard, according to the Ordonnance of she King. This would also weaken the party, if they were to discharge from the National Guard the Urns was oven) vagabonds—the thieves—the assassins—tba sweepers of she streets, and the shoe-blacks. " This day Trois.tayons (as he is called in our Patois) returned his visits, dressed up in the clothes of the National Guard, and with a sabre under his arm. This has revived the former audacity of his partisans and accomplices so much, that many Pro. testants have already been insulted. " Trois-tayons arrived at Lyons last January from Montpellier, where he ought to have been jadgech He publicly said in Lyons-4I fear nothing; I have good papers. They will not condemn me, because I shall reveal. Some Protestants, refugees, who bad the imprudence to say to You will not escape the heavy and just punishment that awaits you,' were arrested and sent to prison. Treimayons was not judged at Lyons, any more. than at Montpellier—he disappeared. How has this monster, accused of the murder of more than ferry Protestants, been able to escape the authority of the Laws ? There is but one answer. It must be because be has most powerful friends. 44 During the fetes which were given to the Duke d'Angouleme at the time of his last visit w Nismes, the busts of the Royal Family were placed on a stage richly decorated and surrounded by valuable trees cut from the estates of the Protestants, and this stage was placed directly in front of the house in which Troistayons lived before he was arrested. "No justice for the innocent—no punishment for their murderers. Such is the situation in which the Protestants find themselves up to this day 1" • The came of the suburbs of Nimes, inhabited by the pope. lace, who have robbed, whipped, and murdered the Prutettants. _s_  -
