Consequently, against the advice of all the generals, espe- cially in spite of the contrary opinion given by Emmanuel- Philibcrt, which was to march directly towards the capital, the King of Spain decided that the army should not advance any farther, but that it should, during the winter, merely proceed to besiege Catelet, Ham, and Chauny — ^making of St. Quentin the head-quarters of the Spanish troops. Such was the news which, if not in detail, at least in the most important points, Yvonnet br...ought to the king, and which made him exclaim, with truth, — " Paris is saved ! — Paris is saved ! " At this news, which the king scarcely dared to believe, fresh orders were given, and couriers were sent in all direc- tions, from Compiegne to Saon, from Saon to Paris, from Paris to the Alps. An edict was published, commanding all gentlemen ca- pable of bearing arms, or all who had borne arms, to repair to the Duke de Nevcrs, lieutenant-general of the king at Saon, under pain of forfeiting his patent of nobility, and be- coming liable to corporal punishment.
