("Anecdotes manuscrites," October, 1797.) "The Directonal ambassador, who has come to exact from the Swiss the expulsion of the body-guard, is named Mingot, of Belfort, a relation of Reubell's, former body-guard to M.le Comte d'Artois.-He came to Zurich with a prostitute, a seamstress of Zurich, established in Berne.

He was living with her at the expense of the Zurich government.
Having invited the family of this creature, that is to say a common horse-driver with his wife and some other persons, to dinner, they drank and committed such excesses that the driver's wife, who was big with child, gave birth to it in the midst of the banquet.

This creature gave Mingot a disease which has laid him up at Basle."] [Footnote 3344: "The Revolution," II., 338, 348, 354.] [Footnote 3345: Martel, "Types Revolutionnaires," 136-144 .-- The Minister of War appoints Henriot brigadier-general, July 3, 1793, and major-general on the 19th of September, and says in a postscript, "Please communicate your service record to me," unknown in the ministry because they were of no account .-- On the orgies at Choisy-sur-Seine, V.
