During the session of the National Assembly the 15th, when the definitive decree was passed for the division of the kingdom into departments, with an order to print the plan of it, a memorial was sent from the King concerning the violences committed by the people against the commissioners of the farms at Beziers, without the municipalities concurring with the command of the troops to suppress these disorders.
The same circumstances having taken place in some other parts of the province, the Marquis de la Fayette, who came that day to the Assembly, painted in very strong colours, the evils which France had to dread, if in order to flatter the people with a vain name of liberty, those who were charged with the support of order and public tranquility, should connive at these excesses. At his instance, the committee of constitution was charged to prepare a law on the subject, the draft of which was read yesterday, and is printing for the use of the members.
