" Orders have been given for the most prompt assem-

" Until the arrival of the Major-Generals its command
of brigades, the chiefs of corps, with the exception of
those who compose the first brigade, will corresp ,nd di.
reedy with the Lieutenant-General commanding the active
division, and will render him reports in the manner
prescribed by the circular of the 20th September, 1831,
which will also regulate the relations of the troops with
the territorial divisions. The Lieutenant-General recom-
mends the chiefs of corps to consider attentively that
regulation, in order to avoid any conflicts of attributions.
"General Nogues will retain, with those new functions,
those of the Commandant of the department of the Basses
Pyrenees.
" According to the instructions of the Minister, the
service of this division is strictly one of observation and
surveillance. The utmost vigilance must be kept up
along the whole line, so that neither arms nor ammunition
❑or armed detachments may he able to enter France.
All the chiefs of detachments stationed on the frontier
are to collect with care every kind of intelligence, and
communicate it to their superior officers, or direct
to the Lieutenant-General himself if the subject be
of sufficient importance. All conflict with the Spanish
insurgents is to he carefully avoided. The Commanders
of posts and of detachments are to limit themselves in
keeping them in awe by their firmness, avoiding every
thing on their part which may lead to collisions. It is
expressly forbidden that any officer or soldier pass the
frontier under any pretence whatever•. The Lieutenant
General will take every measure necessary for keeping the
frontier sufficiently furnished with troops, and that the
correspondence may be kept up with strict regularity. The
Lieutenant General is, from his la'e inspection, too well
convinced of the excellent spirit, the brilliant order, and
the exact discipline of the troops to entertain a moment's
doubt of their proving themselves worthy of the confidence
of the Government, and he esteems himself happy in
having an opportunity of showing his devotion to his King
with troops so capable of seconding him."
