These are proofs against diversions: let us cite an example of the circumstances where they would be suitable. Hanover were easily retaken. These are proofs against diversions: let us cite an example of the circumstances where they would be suitable. In the civil wars of 1793, if the Allies had detached from their armies twenty thousand veteran troops to disembark them in Vendee, they would have produced a much greater effect than by augmenting
