Royal French Army Ordinances Regulate Camp and Forage
A Paris dispatch from July 31 describes a royal ordinance reviving strict discipline for troops on campaign and in encampments. It bans arson and theft with death penalties for contraventions, requires officers to indemnify owners, and enforces tent living over housing. Additional articles regulate officers quarters and provisioning, with further rules on table etiquette and vessels.
