Jfifthe royal troops , which do not Crease to infest the environs of Nism ' ,
exercise continual venations oh the Protestants . On the 22 nd of December a detachment of about fifty men broke into the house of M . Mourier , a gentleman of property at St . Blancard , lately returned from emigration ,
who had just time to effect his escape . Failing in their main object , these brigands completely pillaged the premises , and daily continue their depredations in the neighbourhood . Several families at Nismes have
abjured their religion , the motive of which is evident . They are families of mechanics arid workmen , who are without bread in consequence of the persecutions they have undergone . The Protestant manufacturers have ,
for the most part , fled , and the Catholics will not employ Protestant workmen ; besides which , the looms and frames of the latter have been destroyed , and they are reduced to the alternative of recanting or starving .
This system of persecution has extended to Bordeaux and its neighbourhood . Its effects have also been felt at Nantz , the President of the Consistory of that xiity having been sent into exile . Tristaillon ,
QuatretaiHon , and another brigand of that party , made their entry lately into Jfcyops . They wore in their hats white cockades of a preposterous size , in the midst ef which was displayed a large r&A Cfross , the characteristic bad ire of
the fanatics of Nismes , These crusaders met with a very ill reception from the people of that city , several dfWhom have been arrested upon a cliarge of having insulted them .
