Faible enfant, qui de Guise aJorait les capriccs Et dont on ignorait les vertus ct les vices. LA SAGUE took the road to Beam, charged with letters and commissions for the King of Navarre, from the Constable, the Admiral and their adherents. At Etampes, he was arretted and all his papers seized, and brought to court, by order of the Qneen and the Guises. La Sague, interrogated 011 the rack, confefled, that the design of the Prince of Conde, to which the King of Navarre was privy and consenting, was to march from Bearn, uuder pretext of repairing to court, and to make liimfelf niafter in his course, of the principal cities of the kingdom, to take polielfion of Paris by means of the Conftable,and Marshall Montmorencie his foil, who had the go vernnient of it ; to cause, in the next place to revolt, Picardyj by the intrigues of Senarpont and Bouchavannes ; Brittany, by tliofe of the duke D'EftampeS, who, as governor had a pow erful party there, He declared that the Prince w9s in course to come to court, at the head of all the forces of the Hugonots ; oblige the States General to dismiss from the Ministry, the Queen mother and the Guises, to declare that the King cannot be of age, till twenty-two years old, and finally to give him for tutors and regents of the kingdom, the Constable, the Prince de Condeand rlie King of Navarre. La Sague added, that by moifteniiifr with water,the covering of the letters of the Vidapie de Chartres, they would fee, in writing, all that he h:;d revealed. The Plan of the enemies of the Princes of Lorrain, was in deed found upon tryal, written, upon the cover of the letters of the Vidime de Chartres, in the proper hand of Flemin D'Ardoy, secretary of the Constable. This revelation of the fecrct by La Sague, put the cifurc upon a tlioufand manoeuvres, to ltrengthen their party in the Provinces, but still they continued to diflemble their designs of vengeance : The Protestants somewhat encourag ed 011 one hand by hopes, and still tormented wiih persecutions on the other, broke out in arms in several places : But the Prince de Conde, whofc anxiety must have been very great for his present fafety, if his ambitition was not asinfati able, and his natural inquietude as tronblefome as is represented, made an attempt to seize upon Lyonsas a strong hold, and an afyluin for hinifelf and a place of arms for his party ; but he mis carried, and many of his partisans, the poor Hu gonots, were executed. As soon as the King was informed of this enter prize, he rcfolved not to give the discontented leisure to form new ones. He left Fontainbleau accompanied with a thousand lances, and two regiments of old infantry, lately returned from Piedmont and Scotland. He took the road to Orleans, pressing the deputies of the Provinces to repair to that city The French nation is divided into three or ders, or states, the Clergy, the Nobility, and the People. These three orders are diftribnted into thirty diftric r ts or jurifditf ions, called Bailliaces or Senechalfies. When an aflembly of the Stares General is ro be held, they resort to the capital of their refped:ive Provinces, where they elect each one separately a deputy, who afiiits, in the name of his order, at the general adembly, and who enters into all the deliberations relative to the particular interests of each one of the three orders, and to tlie general good of the state. Each Bailliage furnilhes three deputies, the firft for the Clergy, the second for the Nobility, and the third for the People, under the name, which in France was then considered as more lionoura ble, of the third eitare. All these deputies af femWed in presence of the King, of the Princes of the blood, and of the officers of the crown form the Body of the States General, and ad in the name of the nation, whose power and autho rity they represent. 604 TREASURY department.
