"'Ha! by Saint John of Nepomuck, cried the Duke, 'the Croats are upon us There flies the banner of Chopinski! there rides Conrad of the Thirty Mountains on the black steed that I have marked for my second charger! Hulans! to your ranks. Martinitz, bring up the rear-guard, and place them on the right flank. Slavata, thou art a fellow of some sense'
"'I declare you make me quite jealous, said the Lucchesini; 'but speak lower or he will overhear you. I assure you Duke Albrecht is a very dangerous enemy. "'O that I might beard him! cried I, 'in the midst of his assembled Hulans! I tell you, Duchessa, that ere now a Mandeville'

From their origin they were distinguished for the celerity of their movements and their devotion to fine costumes. The hulans were a species of Polish light cavalry, bearing lances, and taking their name from their commander a nobleman named Huland. Chasseurs are French regiments, designed chiefly to act as scouts and skirmishers.
"If mademoiselle be the object," said a third, "I'll swear he shall have no rivalry on my side. By Jove I I 'd rather face a charge of Hulans than speak to her."

Sacred to Amalia, and not to me, be the victory! Advance the Red Falcon of Kalbs-Kuchen let it strike terror into the hearts of the enemy and forward as it pounces upon its prey! "With visors down and lances in rest we rushed upon the advancing Hulans, who received our charge with great intrepidity. Martinitz was my immediate opponent.
