The Mutiny in Dijon.

VVHilest the Cardinal was atchieving these glorious exploits, the King was advancing toward Lyon, and marching by Fountainbleau, his Majesty received intelligence of a great sedition, which had happened at Dyon on the 28 of February, by the mutiny of a Company of Vineyard Dressers, who had the bold∣nesse to pillage and rifle some of the chief Officers houses. They which blowed the fire of this sedition, informed the people, that the establishing the Elections in Borgogne, was to no other intent or purpose, then in conclusion to settle the taxes, and other impositions, though in reality his Majesties intentions, were onely to rectifie and redresse the ordinary contributions, which were made by all the Pro∣vinces. The insolencies of Mutineers hurrieth them on to the greater extremities, by how much Magistrates are more remisse or negligent in confronting and punish∣ing their first emotions and rebellions. His Majesty presently dispatched Monsieur de Bellegarde, Governour of that Province, who had a great power and influence upon the affections of the people, not onely in respect of his Office, but in relation to the great love and repute he had particularly got a long time amongst them. He quickly allayed and quieted all things; and not long after, his Majesty going to Ly∣on, would passe through it, to take course for a better order in future, forcing those great multitudes of Vineyard-keepers to pack away, and setling new Magistrates and Officers, who should be diligent to keep the people in their due obedience not forgetting to give a charge to the Parliament, that some of the principal Mutineers and Assistants of those destructions and spoils should be punished, and thereby be made examples of his Justice, and their own follies.
