After a conference of two hours, it was agreed that hostages should be exchanged and negotiations entered upon.
Consequently, M.de Villars on his side sent Roland M.de Montrevel, an officer commanding a battalion of marines, and M.de la Maison-Blanche, captain of the Froulay regiment; while Roland in return sent M.
de Villars four of his principal officers with the title of plenipotentiaries.
Unskilled in diplomacy as these envoys were, and laughable as they appeared to contemporary historians, they received nevertheless the marechal's consent to the following conditions: 1.

That Cavalier and Roland should each be placed in charge of a regiment serving abroad, and that each of them should be allowed a minister.
2.

That all the prisoners should be released and the exiles recalled.
3.

That the Protestants should be permitted to leave the kingdom, taking their effects with them.
4.

That those Camisards who desired to remain might do so, on giving up their arms.
