PARIS, June iG.
Proclamation of Gen. Moreau.
Hc«d;Quarter«, Babrrhaufen, June 3.
Exrefs is at its height; pil
laging and wafting the re'ources
procured tons by our vi6lorie«,
have reduced us in the midft of
a fertile country to dill refs.—lt
is not fiiflßrient for an army to
be brave in battle—and if order
does not Ipeedily return amongfl
us. our conquells arc at an end,
and we muff return to our home.
Purfued by the hatred and ven
geance of a people among whom
we may be obliged to retreat,
the army will only meet with
enemies, and find on its return
to France, the reproaches of all
the republic,
Soldieis, we owe peace to our
country ; we arc charged to
fupport the movements of the
army of referve, that marches in
Laly under the command of
the firfl ronlul. If the pilLg
mg to which a great number of
you have abandoned yourlelves,
docs not immediately realc,
your triumphs will prove a great
er dilgiac e to you than your de
feats. r | hr general in chief,
therefore, enjoins all generals
and officers to watch that no
peilon leaves the columns dur
ing the match. The toll fhall
be called three times each day ;
he lhall lend corps of tioops into
all the villages mat the camp,
and if the officers commanding
th m (hall commit any exorllcs,
they (hall immediately be di 1
graced. Parties of gens d'arms
and pu kets of cavaliy (haft con
ffantly patrole to feize thofe per
ions who ate found ablcnt from
their polls.
The general depends on the
devotion of all the heroes of
C 'di rank, that doubtlefs form
tin gif atet part of the aimy, and
experts that they will imprilon
the bale and vicious individuals.
