are the national cavalry of Hungary and Croatia. Their regimentals consist in a rough furred cap, adorned with a cock's feather (the officers either an eagle's or a heron's); a doublet, with a pair of breeches to which the stockings are fastened, and yellow or red boots: besides, they occasionally wear a short upper waistcoat edged with fur, and five rows of round metal buttons; and in bad weather a cloak. Their arms are a sabre, carbine, and pistol. They are irregular troops: hence, before beginning an attack, they lay themselves so flat on the necks of their horses, that it is hardly possible to discern their force; but being come within pistol-shot of the enemy, they raise themselves with such surprising quickness, and begin the fight with such vivacity on every side, that, unless the enemy is accustomed to their method of engaging, it is very difficult for troops to preserve their order. When a retreat is necessary, their horses have so much fire, and are so indefatigable, their equipage so light, and themselves such excellent horsemen, that no other cavalry can pretend to follow them. They leap over ditches, and swim over rivers, with surprising facility. They never encamp, and consequently are not burdened with any camp-equipage, having a kettle and a hatchet to every fix men. They always lie in the woods, out-houses, or villages, in the front of the army. The emperor, queen of Hungary, and king of Prussia, have the greatest number of troops under this name in their service.
