In this way Lieutenant Jeannin and Dr. Charette were murdered, and from one hundred to one hundred and twenty officers and soldierswhose wounds should have made them sacredperished from shot or fire after terrible sufferings.

But now they begin to believe that the army will fight, and those who cry the loudest that it was the sergents de ville and Charette's Zouaves who led the attack alone, seem as if they said it to give themselves courage and keep up their illusions.

"Charette's chouans, Cathelineau's Vendéens, Trochu's Bretons, Valentin's gendarmes, have rushed upon us.

Already, yesterday, the mêlée of a battle could be distinguished from the fort of Vanves; the line had come to blows with the gendarmes of Valentin and Charette's Zouaves.

The spot where the gallant Charette was shot, with several other leaders of the Vendean army, is shown; and in the cemetery, a large mound of earth marks the place where the bodies were thrown in, at the time of the "Fuzillades" when the infamous Carrier presided at the execution of the brave Royalists.

Among the number of heroic females who, like Madame de la Roche-Jaquelin, thus distinguished themselves, was Madame de La Rochefoucault who, like her admirer Charette, was put to death at Nantes.

The inhabitants of Le Marais formed a division of the army of the celebrated chief Charette.

La Vendée was divided into two circuits; each army had its own, until the junction of the whole under La Roche-Jaquelin, &c; that of Charette occupied the district of Chalans, Machecoul, la Roche Sur Yon, les Sables, a part of the districts of St. Florent, Vehiers, Chollet, Châtillon, la Châtaigneraie, a great part of the districts of Clisson, Montaigne, Thouars, Parthenay, and Fontenay-le-peuple.

The positions of the Vendeans could never be understood, or their projects foreseen, in a country where the frequent undulations of land, hedges, trees, and bushes, obstructing the surface, would not admit of seeing fifty paces round; and one of the republican generals, writing to the Convention, thus speaks of Charette's movements.

"It is no easy matter to find Charette, particularly to bring him to action.

He was made driver of aa charette; I do not know if you have them in your great city?"

I called, climbing into the charette, a big lump rising in my throat.

By ten we reached the top and calling George, who had been walking beside the leader since we left home, I told him to take my place in the charette and I would mount my bicycle.

Standing upright in my charette, carefully folding a blanket so as to take up the least possible space, my eye was attracted by several red specks scurrying up a steep incline.

I asked as the charette passed by them.
