This letter was addressed to d'Aygaliers, who immediately communicated its contents to the marechal, from whom he received orders to set out at once to find Roland and to spare no pains to bring him round.
D'Aygaliers, who was always indefatigable when working for his country, started the same day, and went to a mountain about three-quarters of a league from Anduze, where Roland awaited him.

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.
