All the world expected a severe slash to France; and France itself had the due apprehension of it: but France and all the world were mistaken, this time. Nothing got across; except once or twice for perhaps a day, Butcher Trenck and his loose kennel of Pandours; who went about, plundering and rioting, with loud rodomontade, to the admiration of the Gazetteers, if of no one else.
