      FOREIGN . French Protestants . DOCUMENTS . Hoped Ordinance . Louis , by the Grace of God , King of France and Navarre , & .

      "We are informed that our Ordinance of the 21 st of Nov . last , has received in the town of Nismes the respect and submission we expected ; that though the criminal whom justice demands is not yet secured , strict

      searches have been made ; that they have been seconded by the National Guard and the inhabitants ; and that every thing announces that the assassin of General Lagarde has neither asylum nor protection at Nismes .

      " On the other hand , the article of the Constitutional Charter , which , la recognizing the Catholic religion for the religion of the State , secures to other religions liberty and

      protection , has been faithfully executed . The temple of the Protestants is open , and they enjoy therein all the security which is guaranteed to them by the laws .

      •* After so marked a return to principles anil order , we will no longer postpone the revocation of the rigorous measures which necessity drew from us . " For these reasons we have ordered and do order what follows t—

      " Art . 1 . The troops quartered in garrison or on the inhabitantsof Nismes , shall be without delay withdrawn , and distributed in the barracks , and in such parts of the department of the Gard , as our Military commandant may judge necessary .

      " 2 . Our Prefect shall declare to the inhabitants of Nismes , that we are satisfied with the zeal with which they concurred in the maintenance of tranquillity , and the re-establishment of order in our said good city .

      u Our Minister , Keeper of the Seals , and our Ministers for War , and the Interior , and General Police , are charged with the execution of the present Ordinance . ( Signed ) « LOUIS . " 49 Giv < m at Paris , Jan . 10 , 1816 . "

      issued by the Mayor of Nismes , respecting the opening of the Protestant churches . The Marquis de VaUonques , by whom it is signed , was not appointed to his office by the King ^ but by M . de Bernis , one of the

      Commissaries of the Due d'Angouleme * who displaced , for that purpose , M . Donant , a most faithful Royalist and Protestant , who had been nominated by the King immediately on his return : —

      Notice to the Inhabitants of the City of Nismes . € t The laws of the realm and the will of the King secure the exercise of the Protestant worship . I tell yon so , I , who am your magistrate , your mayor—4 , who have surely some

      claims to your confidence . The Protestant churches will be opened m * Thursday next , and that day will prove to the King , to France , and to Europe , who are our accusers , th # t

      the blindness of a few women and children is not the crime of the city of Niatnes , which has distinguished itself on so many-occasions , and even recently , * by its fidelity and devotion to the Ring .

      " Women wlio are blinded by your zeal , and perhaps ^ excited by your enemies , you will not once more ruin your city , and gratify by your error * the enemies of the Royal cause . I am assured , and for that reason I have a

      pleasure in informing you , that conferences are opened , and nearly terminated , * rtth the . Consistory of Uhe Protestant Htfdrship . Their object is to restore , by common cotraent , to the worship of the Strtte , tfredhurclHes which have beenconfcededto *
