L.A.S., Lyon August 4, 1816, to Lieutenant General Vicomte de BRICHE; 2/3 page in-4. On the troubles in the Midi. The Vicomte de Briche commands a division in Nîmes and is responsible for suppressing the unrest that broke out in the Midi at the time of the Second Restoration. The Duke thanks the Vicomte for his letter and "the details you have given me. I was pleased to see those concerning the Beaucaire fair, as well as the arrest of Gal La Garde's assassin. I hope that good and swift justice will be done, and that this will serve no small purpose in silencing the rumors that ill-intentioned people are trying to spread among foreigners about the alleged persecution of Protestants" [General LAGARDE had been seriously wounded during the Nîmes troubles between Catholics and Protestants].
