tranquil , and such good precautions aretaken , that the repose will not be disturbed some of the national guards of Mbntpelier and of the environs of Nismes , have arrived , and more are expected from Toulouse and Marseilles , but it is probable they will receive a countermand . —The Duke of Angouleme arrived this morning .
The following is the proclamation yvhich the Marquis of Arbaud-Jouques , prefect of Gard , published on the 12 th , in consequence of the atrocious events which had nearly cost the life of General Lagarde : — .
" People of Nismes I . — All the French , whatever religion they profess , are the subjects and children of the king , the father of the country . * The orders of the king are to protect all sorts of worship : to secure the property , the life , the liberty of conscience of all the French .
" We have received these sacred orders for every good Frenchman . We have executed them . We will maintain them to the last breath of our existence . * ' A wretch , concealed in the
groupes of the people , which , perhaps , fancied they were only rioters , but were absolutely rebels to the king , has attempted to assassinate the brave general to whom this department owes so much esteem , gratitude and affection .
*< The sentence alone of this info mous assassin may henceforth save the country and absolve the people-He has not been seized at this unfortunate moment ; . but you know him ; you who surrounded him at the moment of his crime .
«* I promise , in the name of the department , a reward / of 3000 francs to him , or them , soldiers or inhabitants , who shall give information of him , and bring him before me . ' « ( Signed ) " Marquis of Arbavd Jouqves . " " Nismes . Nov . \ % 1815 . "

It will be proper to add a few observations , explanatory of the plan we pursued , the present prospect of success to the Unitarian cause in Cornwall and the measures most likelv to ensure it .
1 . It will be perceived that my labours and exertions were limited to the western part of that county : this did not arise from the impracticability of finding people disposed to hear in other places ; but , after mature deliberation , it was thought most judicious , and that it would be most
