Having believed that he should report directly to Mr. Marquis de CASTRIES on what is happening in his Company, the latter has ordered him to report to mr. Marquis d'AUTICHAMP. "He wouldn't want Mr de CASTRIES's account of his conduct to do him any harm in the Marquis's mind? "I cannot repeat to you too often, Monsieur le Marquis, that a positive ordinance is the only way to put everything back in order: would the Gendarmerie Corps be the only one you would not take care of, and would the care you deigned to take in the last Cavalry ordinance, to prevent any innovation, not extend to the first military Corps in France?".
