French Generals Truce Sparks Strong War Critique in Brussels
A Brussels-sourced report details a truce between French and Austrian forces amid accusations of treachery by French reformists. The piece denounces the French as barbarous, praising Austrian actions and condemning the National Assembly and its supporters as tyrannical. It laments civilian suffering as the war progresses.
Truce Proposed Before French Assault Ends In Treachery
The Austrian commander and Beaulieu discuss a 14 day truce to allow peasants to protect property, but the French betray the plan. Four thousand French soldiers march from Lisle to Tournay, are defeated by 3600 Austrian infantry and 400 cavalry, with nearly 500 French prisoners taken and the rest fleeing. The French disorderly retreat leaves arms on the ground while Austrians harry pursuit.
