 Maximilien Robespierre declared that Hoche's behavior showed that he was a true "sans-culotte" and another 10,000 reinforcements were sent him from the "Army of the Ardennes".However, Hédouville who Hoche had kept as chief of staff for the battle was arrested as a nobleman.François Joseph Lefebvre was promoted to general of brigade for excellent work, as was Édouard Huet for repelling the Prussian assault at Bitche.
