"Immense sums, " they said, "were daily raised by contributions, and all dissipated by a few. They were called out to serve amidst frost and snow, and no rewardrequited their incessant labours. The soldiers' excesses at Heilbronnhad been blamed, but no one ever talked of their services. The world rung with the tidings of conquests and victories, but it was by their hands that they had been fought and won. " The number of the malcontents daily increased; and they even attemptedby letters, (which... were fortunately intercepted, ) to seduce the armieson the Rhine and in Saxony. Neither the representations of Bernard of Weimar, nor the stern reproaches of his harsher associate in command, could suppress this mutiny, while the vehemence of Horn seemed onlyto increase the insolence of the insurgents. The conditions they insisted on, were that certain towns should be assigned to each regimentfor the payment of arrears. Four weeks were allowed to the Swedish Chancellorto comply with these demands; and in case of refusal, they announcedthat they would pay themselves, and never more draw a sword for Sweden.
