[1] At the Battle of Jemappes on 6 November 1792, the Right Wing Advance Guard under Auguste Marie Henri Picot de Dampierre included the 1st Paris Battalion.

[4] The writer Paul Thiébault was enraged that Balland, a man "without form and without foundation", was named to command a division.

Though Jourdan believed it was not yet time, the powerful politician Lazare Carnot of the Committee of Public Safety insisted that Balland's men immediately assault the village of Dourlers.

[10] During the night, Jourdan took 6,000 troops from Balland to help Duquesnoy's men capture Wattignies and Coburg assembled 16,400 foot and 6,000 horse to oppose the French.

[11] On 16 October, the French moved into position in a fog but their first two attacks were defeated; the third assault succeeded and the battle was won.

The divisions of Balland and Jacques Gilles Henri Goguet advanced from Guise, while Fromentin moved from Avesnes-sur-Helpe.

In the Battle of Le Cateau, the French were beaten with the loss of 1,200 casualties and four guns, while the Austrians only lost 293 men.

On 17 and 18 April, Coburg's army drove back Balland, Goguet and Fromentin to open the Siege of Landrecies.

[13] In the operation, the 60,000-man Coalition army sustained 1,000 casualties including 627 Austrians, while the French lost over 2,000 killed, wounded and missing as well as 24 field guns.

Coalition cavalry rode down the division of René-Bernard Chapuy, capturing thousands of French soldiers and their commanding general.

Though an Austrian force under Johann Ludwig Alexius von Loudon hovered nearby, it failed to intervene before the Peace of Leoben between France and Austria was signed.

French troops under Charles Edward Jennings de Kilmaine and Charles-Pierre Augereau crushed the rebellion.
