[Footnote 2340: Moniteur, X. 178 (session of Oct. 20, 1791). Information
supplied by the deputies of the Upper and Lower Rhine departments.--M.
Koch says: "An army of emigres never existed, unless it be a
petty gathering, which took place at Ettenheim, a few leagues from
Strasbourg... (This troop) encamped in tents, but only because it lacked
barracks and houses."--M.--, deputy of the lower Rhine, says: "This
army at Ettenheim is composed of about five or six hundred 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 Conde, is composed of three hundred gentlemen,
and as many valets and grooms. I have to add, that the letters which
reach me from Strasbourg, containing extracts of inside information from
Frankfort, Munich, Regensburg, and Vienna, announce the most pacific
intentions on the part of the different courts, since receiving the
notification of the king's submission." The number of armed emigrants
increases, but always remain very small (Moniteur, X. 678, letter of
M. Delatouche, an eyewitness, Dec. 10). "I suppose that the number
of emigrants scattered around on the territories of the grand-duke of
Baden, the bishop of Spires, the electorates, etc., amounts to scarcely
4,000 men."]
