Nice. . . it is, however, very certain, that never any
troops were more fatigu'd, or in a worse temper than ours;
and, at this juncture, the French and Spanish officers
discovering more inclination to cut one another's throats,
than to attack the common enemy [the Piedmontese]. As a
proof of which, I need only say, that proclamation was made
this morning at the head of the army by beat of drum, that
no officer of any nation should affront or challenge another
upon pain of death. . .
