French forgery case shakes Paris power balance
Paris reports a notorious forgery bust with Daudet de Joffan arrested for 1.5 million livres in counterfeit signs. He allegedly acted as an ally of Cardinal de Rohan for anti revolution aims. The Oratoire guards protest twofold: dismissal of most Grenadiers and demand reasons from the Municipality, warning of possible Assembly appeal. Despotism, lawlessness, and ideological clashes threaten national order and spark alarm.
