Each village, city, and borough was to furnish a prescribed number of men according ii Memoirs of the to their population, every person between the age of sixteen and twenty-five being subject to this law ; and the smallest hamlet provided ten men. In such an extended and populous kingdom as France, it is easy to judge what numbers of soldiers were thus put in motion by the Conven- tion through these means, if we say 1, 800, 000, it will not be an exaggeration. But for the first three months of... this ordinance opposition was almost universally made, and on the prescribed day, when every parish ought to have drawn lots, the Convention received intimation in general from each department that they judged it un- profitable to carry tjie ordinance into effect. But the Convention at last fell upon a plan more successful, by giving orders that the drawing of lots in each parish should be on different days, when by an arrangement, and continual move- ment of the military force, and by the most com- pulsive measures, this edict was carried into effect throughout the kingdom, with the exception of a part of Anjou and of Poitou, where being armed they defended themselves against this edict by the famous league of La Vendue.
