" Paris, December 80, 1819.
" Gentlemen-1 am informed that in several garrison.
sedilious cries have been spread among the soldiers, with the
criminal intentiols of leading them astray, and destroying
Ilse subordination so essentially connected with the mainte-
nance of discipline and public order.

" If ths agitators have conceived the idea, unworthy of
the name of Frenchmen, of diverting from their first duties
that army, which, after having raised itself in its success,
and even in its reverses, is called upon to give an ex-
ample of the most absolute devotion to the King, to his
dynasty, mid to the institutions which he has given us,
they will be repelled by the sentiments of fidelity en-
tertained by the fiddlers of all ranks, who will rover
forget that the happiness of France, and their own pros.
perity, Femme tattoo the legitimate monarchy, the first
and strongest security of our liberties. I call, Gentlemen,
your whole attention to the disorganising writings which
it has been sought to introduce among the troops, the
authors of which manifest the criminal purpose of estranging
from their duties soldiers who have met these priociples
only with contempt slid iadigisation. You will do justice,
Gendespeo, to these perfidious productions, wherever and
when they shall be circulated titbit' the extent of your
commands, legions, and regime*: You will defeat the plass
of the ill disposed by the crimple which you will give to
the troops of your devotion to the king and his govern-
ment, and by that union of aentiitest which should prevail
among the officers of corps, and with which they will know
how to inspire all is the ranks beneath them.
" In fine, Gentlemen, I reckon entirely upon your con-
stant mire to maintain discipline in the troops which you
command, and to cause the King to be cherished and
respected, whose kind and paternal solicitude will know how
to distinguish the services rendered to his person and to the
country, sentiments ahich we confound is one.
" I shall be happy, Gentlemen, to lay before the eyes of
his Majesty, proofs of your real in his service, and to fix
particularly his attention upon the soldiers in service, and
oot on actual service, ander your orders, and that you will
consider me as worthy of your regard.
" Accept, &c. Sec.
" The Minister Secretary of State for the Deportment
of War
