Chasseurs. — rDragoon musket, light-cavalry sabre, and pistol. Mussars. — Musketoon, light-cavalry sabre, and pistol. The musketoon has both boot and sling. African chasseurs. — Armed as the other chasseurs, but always carry the musket slung over the left shoulder, — never in a boot. Spahis. — Musket and pistol as for the African chasseurs, but carry the sabre attached to the saddle, in the Mexican fashion. Cent- Gardes are cuirassiers, armed with a pistol, and a breech-loading carbine, with sa...bre bayonet : this bayonet is a very long, light, and nearly straight sabre, without guard ; alone, it is an excellent sabre ; when fixed on the carbine, it may be used, as a lance when mounted ; as an ordinary musket and bayonet on foot. In all the cavalry, the pistol is attached to the saddle by means of a strap fastened to a ring in the butt. The cartridge-box has a shoulder-belt, and contains 20 rounds ; the men carry spare packages of cartridges in their pouches, or wherever may be most convenient.
