Among the officers wounded in the battle of Coulmiera were the Duke de Chevrense (hit at noon by a bit of shell, and who could not be carried off the field till 5 p.m.) the Viscount de Montesson, Messieurs de Luynes and de Juigno. M. Laraande, a lieutenant, 20 years of age, was killed at the head of his company by a bullet in the breast. The old noblesse of France are not slow to shed their blood in their country's defence, even though the summons be in the name of the Republic.
