Battle of Jemappes
LITTLE HENRIOT.
" Frightened by the turn ot events, doubtful as to the progress of the Revolution, M. de Lowendaal left Paris last night, before the closing of the gates. He has returned to his own country. He has named his palace, near Jemmapes, on the Belgian frontier, as the place where we are to celebrate that impossible mar- riage.**
LITTLE HENRIOT.
" And you are to go to Jemmapes ? "
JEMMAPES.
But the Duke de Chartres did not conduct himse very bravely on that great day at Jemmapes, and a simple servant, Batiste Renard, in the service Dumouriez, rallied the prince's brigade, startled and ready to flee, deciding thus the victory at the centre.
THE VICTORY WON IN SINGING.
And so these four went out into the night among the slain, and the pile of d6bris and broken arms, which lay upon the field of Jemmapes.
