lieves General de Negricr of his fnnc-
tions as n member of the supreme

the commanders of the corps u verbal
communication violently ccnsuring tho
government for it's failure to defend
the army, and declaring that if tho
government refused to interfere thew
themselves must act in self-defcnse.
General de Ncgrier told the commands
ers to transmit the communication to
all generals and officers.
Minister of War Gallifet, hearing OF
this, instituted an inquiry and then
summoned General Negrier to Paris
and taxed him with the affair, which,
Negrier was unable to deny.
1T is understood that no other gen.
erals are implicated.
