The atrocious assassination of General Lagarde at Nismes , it was of course impossible to pass over , and we find in the Gazette Ojficielle an ordonnance of the king , directing a prosecution to be commenced against the assassins , and against the individuals concerned in the riot at
Nismes , aimed against the re-opemng of the Protestant Churches . Troops are ordered to be quartered on the inhabitants till the assassins are brought before the tribunals ; and those of the inhabitants who are not entitled to
form part of the national guard , are ordered to be disarmed . It cannot , however , escape notice , that the burden of supporting troops , and the disarming , are applied to the inhabitants generally , and must , therefore , from a variety of circumstances , affect more
particularly the Protestants . The preamble of the ordonnance is an acknowledgment of the persecuting spirit against that body of men which prevails at Nismes ; and we trust that far different measures than the present will be without delay adopted ,
to put a stop to those scenes of barbarity and outrage which have disgraced the age we live in . The Duke d'Angouleme , it seems , in consequence of this event , suddenly left Toulouse for the purpose of returning
to Nismes . we hop < j he will apply himself actively to the real causes of the outrages , and not be content with making formal speeches , meaning nothing , and leaving a bigoted mob to infer that they may commit murders with impunity Morn . Chron . Nov . 27 .

Our letters from Paris yesterday , contain authentic particulars of the late horror at Nisraes . The following is the extract of one of our letters : — . " The Due d'Angouleme on his arrival at Nisnaies , had the indiscretion , to-say no worse of it , to walk
bareheaded and bare-footed in a processio n of . Monks with images , relics , and other symbols of superstition , through the streets , and by this solemn demonstration of his religious principles ,
after all the horrors that had been committed by the zealots , to whom his own cockade had been previously given in contradiction of the orders of his sovereign , animated and inflamed the rabble ane w * He did this at the
very time when he told the Consistory of Protestant Ministers , that he should not oppose any obstacle to the free exercise of their religion— . for such were the terms of his answer . Sufficiently cold and unsatisfactory as it was , some few of the Protestants
assembled in their principal church to hear divine service , on the day after this public exhibition of his sanctity , when he left the town . The persons going to the church were at first insulted land afterwards assailed with
stones by banditti , evidently placed for that purpose in the adjacent streets . The General Count Lagarde , a good and loyal soldier , ( faithful to the letter of the instructions he had received ) had assured the Protestants that he
would protect them to the utmost of his power—and he acccordingly called out the only troops he had in the place , —but unfortunately at Nismes , as well as through the whole of the South of France , the only troops , with the exception of a few regulars , are the volunteer bands raised and
organized by the Due d \ Angouleree himself ( the most bitter and infuriated enemies of the Protestants ) , and they had no sooner arrived on the spot where the rabble was collected than
instead of paying obedience to the orders of the gallant General , they joined the assassins . One of the Lieutenants ofTrestaillon , the chief of the band , fired a pistol at the General , by which he was severely wounded . « This happened in the front of the Protestant place of worship . Tbte
