DISCOURSES ON DAVILA,
No. XX.— CONCLUDED.
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.
