The torch of discord again threatens the southern provinces of France. At a federation of the National Guards of Languedoc at Jalès, the Deputies of the Vivarais proposed to march, against the Protestants of Nismes, to revenge the cause of their catholic brethren, and at the same time to take possession of Avignon, where there are 80 pieces of cannon, and a fortified place. It is supposed that the emissaries of the aristocratic party are endeavoring to avail themselves of the fanaticism of the inhabitants of the South of France; and it is feared that in a month or two Nismes may be the victim of their manoeuvres.
