called a revolutionary army, composed of deserters and all the vagabonds
and scamps they could pick up who had belonged to the popular club; they
dragged along after it what they called judges and a guillotine."--"Hua,

on receipt of the present order, the municipality will summon all
citizens that can thresh and proceed immediately, without delay, to the

neighboring departments, comprises, in all, two thousand four hundred
