    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 . "

    OBSERVATIONS . The foregoing is a mere outline , given with all possible brevity , of proceedings which v gave me very high pleasure , and will be long remembered with satisfaction and joy .

    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
