with forty thousand men, will come by the way of Pont Saint-Esprit
in Languedoc, rally the disaffected of Carpentras and of the Jal?s
camp to his standard, and occupy Cette and the other seaports; and
finally, the Comte d'Artois, on his side, will enter by Pont-
Beauvoisin with thirty thousand men. - A horrible discovery! The
municipal authorities of Valence immediately inform those of Lyons,
Besan?on, Ch?lons, Ma?on, and others beside. On the strength of
this the municipal body of Ma?on, "considering that the enemies of
the Revolution are ever making the most strenuous efforts to
annihilate the Constitution which secures the happiness of this
empire," and "that it is highly important to frustrate their
designs," sends two hundred men of its National Guard to the chateau
of Villiers," empowered to employ armed force in case of
resistance." For greater security, this troop is joined by the
National Guards of the three neighboring parishes. M.
