TARN ET GARONNE. 1814. END OF THE EMPIRE. Arrêté of General Nicolas de LOVERDO commanding the Department of TARN et GARONNE and the mass of insurrection, made at MONTAUBAN (82), March 28, 1814. (The recent conscription had provoked anger against Napoleon. LOVERDO makes sure discipline reigns in his own command. In Montauban, the population was openly in favor of the Bourbons.) "In view of the Imperial Decree, he decreed: Art. 1) Any mayor who does not do everything in his power to ensure that the called-up national guards are rejoined and that requisitions are carried out, and any inhabitant who does not immediately comply with the mayor's orders, will be declared a TRAITOR, arrested and judged as such...2°) Any inhabitant who gives sanctuary to a deserter or a designated national arde, will be considered a CONSPIRATOR, arrested and judged as such...". - Printed in MONTAUBAN, by P.A.
