public were invited。〃 M。 de la Jaille； it must be stated； is not a
proud aristocrat； but a sensible man； in the style of Florian's and
Berquin's heroes。 But just pounded to a jelly； he writes to the
president of the 〃Friends of the Constitution；〃 that； 〃could he have
flown into the bosom of the club； he would have gladly done so； to
convey to it his grateful feelings。 He had accepted his command only
at the solicitation of the Americans in Paris； and of the six
commissioners recently arrived from St。 Domingo。〃 Mercure de
France； April 14； article by Mallet du Pan 〃I have asked in vain for
the vengeance of the law against the assassins of M。 de la Jaille。
The names of the authors of this assault in full daylight； to which
thousands can bear witness； are known to everybody in Brest。
Proceedings have been ordered and begun； but the execution of the
orders is suspended。 More potent than the law； the motionnaires；
protectors of assassins； frighten or paralyze its ministrants。〃

poorly…clad； half…paid men； deserters of all nations； sleeping in
tents； for lack of other shelter； and armed with clubs； for lack of
fire…arms and deserting every day； because money is getting scarce。
The second army； at Worms； under the command of a Condé； is composed
of three hundred gentlemen； and as many valets and grooms。 I have to
