Paris receives royalist energy with volunteers marching to Vincennes, while Lyons, Marseilles, and Rouen report mixed troop morale and rising resistance. Deputies and generals plan commissions, discuss rewards for students and volunteers, and royalist proclamations urge unity against the usurper.
In a March order from Count d Artois the National Guards of Paris are urged to assemble with their Colonel General on the 16th to review units amid fears of unrest. The Prince asks only those able to march to join the active columns while others stay for sedentary duties. The five per cent rate rose to 70.
In a March 15 sitting, the King's ministers attend the Secret Committee as Marshal Macdonald letters his surprise at a law recognizing loyal corps and army chiefs.

The president considers whether to act as interpreter of his message.
