    Debase in the House of Commons on the French Protestants . [ Concluded from p . 36 * 5 Tj Lord Castlereagh continued :- — The Protestants had risen to ppwer since the revolution , and- had secured

    to themselves the majority -of public pflices- \ _ A laugh . 3 This power they enjoyed under Bonaparte , while trie return of the Bourdons gave the Catholics hopes of supplanting them , which from their numbers , loyalty , and patriotism , they considered themselves

    justly entitled to do . The Noble Lord then proceeded to read many more passages , among which the most striking were , ** that previously to the return of Bonaparte several songs had been sung , insulting to the feelings of the Protestants , and exciting rancour and

    animosity . The Duke of Angpfuleme , ¦ who was then in the country , Hastened to meet Bonaparte at Lyons , but he was stopped by the treacnery of General Mallet ; his follower ^ then 4 is persecJ , and fell victims to the fury of the Protestants or the adherents of Bonaparte /'

'the adherents of Bonaparte . ] " During' the four following months the Protestants committed great excesses on the royalists ; at this period ooinmenced the reaction , and tne excesses were retaliated after the news of the battle of Waterloo :

    the disturbances at Nismes were carried to a perilous extent , but , those who eorfiinltted' them were of the lowest class of Catholics ; tfce richetPitttestants
