of the volunteer troops it was impossible to continue the war in

Morris; so well informed; had already written; under date of Dec。27;
1791: 〃The national guards; who have turned out as volunteers; are in
many instances that corrupted scum of overgrown population of which

support the fatigues。。 。 of war; have every vice and every disease
which can render them the scourge of their friends and the laughing
stock of their foes。〃 Buchez et Roux; XXVI。 177。 Plan of the

〃The composition of the enlistment should not be concealed。 Most of
those of which it is made up are not volunteers; they are not citizens
all classes of society; who; submitting to draft on the ballot; have

larger part of the recruits are substitutes who; through the
attraction of a large sum; have concluded to leave their homes。〃

Those who are ordered to arrest them are chased and attacked with
