take this menacing power against the

Republic, without the content of the mi

A magnate in the department of the
Marne, writes from Chalons under the
date df the,til of July. "The following
is the order of the day, which, however,
may he changed to night, for the utmost
variation arid uncertainty prevails in the
movements of the troops. The canton
ment of 10,000 men is not to take place;
the troops have received orders to retro
grade ; the four regiments of Chufleurs
bed likewise been ordered to retrograde ;
but left night they received new orders to
remain, one at the Rheims, the second
at Epernay, the third at Chalons, and
the fourth at Vitry.".
Why have those 3000 horse received
orders to remain in cantonments, in the
idepartments of the Marne, while the oth
er troops retrograde ?
AUG.S. The Division of Gen. Jou
xbßt have presented a violent address to
the Dire&ory.

armies of the Republic, has been posted
up with the greatest success in the depart
ment of Marne ; and the soldiers have

victory, and who has always Shewn him-,

In Short, those who have sent for the
troops, if they are well acquainted with
; the circumstances which have attended
the march of the different corps, may
now learn that their attempt would have
^ failed in more than one particular.
