659:"Now BlĂĽcher was determined to escape from the French at any cost. Among the French in close pursuit was Lasalle, who had a personal vendetta with the Prussian, for it was to him that BlĂĽcher had told the lie about the armistice and this episode had earned the dashing hussar a letter from the Emperor, severely reprimanding him, which Lasalle had not appreciated.

Is this by any chance the same
Lasalle referenced in the Sonthonax Broadside (1793)? There is no mention of a first name in the Broadside, nor is there any mention of this Lasalle's activity in Saint Domingue (Haiti)
