A royal ordinance has been issued by the
! King of France, the effect of which will be
| the destruction of the establishment formed
[ by the Jesuits for pupils intended, not only
for the church, but for other professions.
| This ordinance has been the cause of great
dissensions in the Kings council and among

revolt of the garrison of Coron, to put that
place in the hands of the Greeks.
