August 22 French Army finances dispute over pay and peace
The Treasury reports show varied army finances with several corps paid late or in arrears while Buonaparte trims losses. Desertions spike amid war talk as Directory debates peace terms with Austria and Mantua. A scuffle in the Directory over peace is noted, with Carnot and Bartholomei standing firm. An August 23 war decree orders Paris-based troops with expired leave to depart within 24 hours.
