for he had figured in the early part of the French Revolution and was well
known in the political and litterary world as the editor of a famous
journal called _Le Bonhomme Richard_.[129]

Metz is a large, well built and strongly fortified city. Verdun, thro'
which we passed, became quite an English colony during the war from the
number of _detenus_ of that nation who were compelled to reside there. At
Epernay we drank a few bottles of Champagne and a toast was given by one of
the company, which met with general applause. It was _Bon voyage_ to the
Allies who have now finally evacuated France to the great joy of the whole
nation, except of the towns where they were cantoned, where they
contributed much towards enriching the shopkeepers and inhabitants.

I remained in Paris six days and then proceeded to England.

[129] _Le bonhomme Richard aux bonnes gens_ was not a "famous journal," as
only two numbers appeared in 1790 (M. Tourneux, _Bibliographie de
l'histoire de Paris pendant la Revolution_, vol. 11, p. 585, n. 10,
511). The publisher, Antoine-Francois Lemaitre, whom Major Erye
mentions in this passage, was the author of some other revolutionary
pamphlets, e.g., _Lettres bougrement patriotiques_, etc.--ED.
