Letters from Paris say, it is surprising to see the militia
which are marching to recruit the regiments in Italy,
singing and dancing on the road, as if they were going to a
wedding.  The emulation of those poor people being so
extraordinary, that they list voluntarily instead of drawing
lots, as is usual in like cases.
