number of papers were put If: aud read.
From the process verbal of the arrest, it
appeared that at the time when the re-
treat of Ney was discovered, it was thought
possible also to arrest Rfurat, who was
SAID TO have been in the castle or viilags
of Rochefort. The instructions given on
the 9;h March last, by the minister Of war,
the Duke of Dalmatia, to Marshal Ncy,
commanding the 9th military division, V AS
as follows
." Ills royal highness Monsieur, has ar
rived at Lyons, and taken the Command
OF the army, which will f3r,n on tn It point.
Every me sure is adopted to pursue with
vigor, and without Ceasing, the party a
the head Of which Bonaparte has dared
to penetrate into the French Trrritofy-
The most prompt success may be expec-
ted. The King charges me to rec3m--
mend to you, 10 hold as many OF your
troops disposable as possible In the alb
seGce of the duke OF berri, take your or
ders from Monsieur. Communicate every
day with that prince. Is, contrary 10 all
appearance, the eCemy should arrive at
Lyons, make your dispositions 20 manoeu-
vfe in such manner as to mcummodc HIM
to circumvent his plans, and finally 10 de-
stroy him, if you ind an opportunity"
