- Summary
- The troops are in Paris and Versailles to suppress or rather to prevent new disorders. They are there to restore and maintain order. One of their principal duties is to watch over public safety. Only ill-designing people can mistake the motive for these precautionary measures. If the presence of the troops is annoying, the King, upon request of the General Assembly, will transfer the Estates General to Noyon or Joussons, and will go to Campeigne himself in order to maintain the necessary communications with the Assembly.
