The King's army was formed at the camp of Gevries; that of M.de Luxembourg almost joined it: The ladies were at Mons, two leagues distant.

The King made them come into his camp, where he entertained them; and then showed them, perhaps; the most superb review which had ever been seen.

The two armies were ranged in two lines, the right of M.de Luxembourg's touching the left of the King's,--the whole extending over three leagues of ground.
After stopping ten days at Gevries, the two armies separated and marched.
Two days afterwards the seige of Namur was declared.

The King arrived there in five days.

Monseigneur (son of the King); Monsieur (Duc d'Orleans, brother of the King); M.le Prince (de Conde) and Marechal d'Humieres; all four, the one under the other, commanded in the King's army under the King himself.
