Mos, assuredly no Frenc hman. no foreigner, ever manifested such an ar dent desire to assist the Irish people Tn the a,,ainmen, of their long -baf'ied bu; indes;ructible aspirations. Tone was as- sured by Hoche ,ha, ,he expedition would consist of al least 1000 men. During the entire course of his negotiations Tone whose object was to procure as large a force as he could, in order to insure a speedy and certain success, made 5000 men as the minimum number, but earn es,ly impressed on the French govern ment tha, lS,ooO or even 10000 men would be able 10 accomplish an almost bioodless triumph. Hoche's chief anxiety was the possibility of his being enabled to subsist his army in Ireland, but his doubts on this point were removed by Tone, and a, conference a, the house of Carno,, where Hoche, Tone and Clarke were present, Carnot said There Is plenty of beef in lrelasd if you cannot, get bread you must eat beef.
