| These troops wore red uniforms and had the right to carry sabres, the weapon of elite infantrymen. |
| The officers of the 74th of the Line threw their sabres and even their decorations into the Meuse. |
| No deputy stood a chance of leaving the chamber, and when one group tried, they were turned back by Hanriot and Guardsmen with drawn sabres. |
| This I did to the best of my ability, by continually sending squadrons of about a thousand sabres out against them. |

| We do know that they like to bluster and rattle sabres and all sorts of things. |
