After the re-capture of Durbelli猫re, and the liberation of Santerre, the Vendeans again assembled in arms in different portions of the revolted district, and fought their battles always with valour, and not unfrequently with success. They did not, however, again form themselves into one body, till the beginning of October, when news having reached them that a large army, under fiercer leaders, was to be sent by the Republic for their extermination1, it became necessary to take some decided2 step for their own protection. The Vendean Generals then decided to call together all the men they could collect at Chatillon, a town in the very centre of their country, and there also to prepare such a quantity of military stores and ammunition3, as would make the place a useful and secure basis for their movements.
Some jealousy4 had arisen among the Generals; and on the death of Cathelineau, d’Elb茅e had been chosen Commander-in-Chief, through the influence of those who were envious5 of the popularity of M. de Lescure. On the latter, however, the management of the war depended; and though his exertions6 were greatly impeded7 by the factious8 spirit which unfortunately prevailed among the royalists, he nevertheless succeeded in collecting, equipping, and maintaining a considerable army. The republican troops of Lechelle and Thurreau were not long in making their way to the devoted9 district, and tidings soon reached Chatillon that they were devastating10 the country round Dou茅 and Vihiers, and that parties of them had advanced to the neighbourhood of Cholet.
