A　seditious　mob　has　dared　to　oppose　the　opening　of　the　Protestant
  place　of　worship；　in　contempt　of　the　constitutional　charter；　which
  while　it　recognises　the　Catholic　religion　as　the　religion　of　the
  State；　guarantees　to　the　other　religious　bodies　protection　and
  freedom　of　worship。　　Our　military　commandant；　whilst　trying　to
  disperse　these　crowds　by　gentle　means　before　having　resort　to　force；
  was　shot　down；　and　his　assassin　has　till　now　successfully　evaded　the
  arm　of　the　law。　　If　such　an　outrage　were　to　remain　unpunished；　the
  maintenance　of　good　government　and　public　order　would　be　impossible；
  and　Our　ministers　would　be　guilty　of　neglecting　the　law。
  〃Wherefore　We　have　ordered　and　do　order　as　follows：
  〃Art。　1。　　Proceedings　shall　be　commenced　without　delay　by　Our
  attorney；　and　the　attorney…general；　against　the　perpetrator　of　the
  murderous　attack　on　the　person　of　Sieur　Lagarde；　and　against　the
  authors；　instigators；　and　accomplices　of　the　insurrection　which　took
  place　in　the　city　of　Nimes　on　the　12th　of　the　present　month。
  〃Art。　2。　　A　sufficient　number　of　troops　shall　be　quartered　in　the
  said　city；　and　shall　remain　there　at　the　cost　of　the　inhabitants；
  until　the　assassin　and　his　accomplices　have　been　produced　before　a
  court　of　law。
  〃Art。　3。　　All　those　citizens　whose　names　are　not　entitled　to　be　on
  the　roll　of　the　National　Guard　shall　be　disarmed。
  〃Our　Keeper　of　the　Seals；　Our　Minister　of　War；　Our　Minister　of　the
  Interior；　and　Our　Minister　of　Police；　are　entrusted　with　the
  execution　of　this　edict。
  〃Given　at　Paris　at　Our　Castle　of　the　Tuileries　on　the　2lst　of
  November　in　the　year　of　grace　1815；　and　of　Our　reign　the　21st。

  Boissin　was　acquitted。
  This　was　the　last　crime　committed　in　the　South；　and　it　led
  fortunately　to　no　reprisals。
  Three　months　after　the　murderous　attempt　to　which　he　had　so　nearly
  fallen　a　victim；　General　Lagarde　left　Nimes　with　the　rank　of
  ambassador；　and　was　succeeded　as　prefect　by　M。　d'Argont。
  During　the　firm；　just；　and　independent　administration　of　the　latter；
  the　disarming　of　the　citizens　decreed　by　the　royal　edict　was　carried
  out　without　bloodshed。
  Through　his　influence；　MM。　Chabot…Latour；　Saint…Aulaire；　and　Lascour
  were　elected　to　the　Chamber　of　Deputies　in　place　of　MM。　De　Calviere；
  De　Vogue；　and　De　Trinquelade。
  And　down　to　the　present　time　the　name　of　M。　d'Argont　is　held　in
  veneration　at　Nimes；　as　if　he　had　only　quitted　the　city　yesterday。
