Because neither side had negotiated in good faith, there was an increase in tension following the death of Louis XVII on 8 June.
The peace was broken on 26 August 1794 as General Lazare Hoche, who succeeded Jean Antoine Rossignol as head of the Army of the Coasts of Brest, ordered the arrest of those who had refused to sign the treaty of La Mabilais.
Hoche thought that Cormatin was trying to outsmart him: Cormatin was imprisoned (and would not be freed before 1802).
Boishardy, who did not sign, was killed during the night of 17 to 18 June between Bréhand and Moncontour.
Likewise, de Silz, who had taken up arms again, was attacked on 28 June at Grand-Champ by the troops of Adjutant-General Josnet.
De Silz was killed in action and his men retreated.

On 23 June 1795 a British fleet led by commodore John Borlase Warren landed 3,500 soldiers of the émigré army in Carnac.
They joined 15,000 Chouans led by Vincent de Tinténiac, Paul Alexandre du Bois-Berthelot and Jacques Anne Joseph Le Prestre de Vauban, great-grandnephew of marshal Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban.
However, disagreements between the general of the émigrés Louis Charles d'Hervilly and the expedition leader Puisaye cost the Royalists precious time.

A counter-attack by Hoche forced the Chouans back to the Quiberon peninsula.
On 10 July, two columns of Chouan troops wearing English uniforms embarked on British ships from the peninsula and were landed behind Republican lines.
However, the men from the first column, led by Lantivy du Rest and Jean Jan, scattered.
The second column, led by Vincent de Tinténiac seconded by Georges Cadoudal, prepared to attack but received a message from the Agence royaliste de Paris requiring them to join a second British landing at Côtes-d'Armor.
Tinténiac hesitated in the face of opposition from Cadoudal, but obeyed the order.
He was killed on the way at Coëtlogon on 18 July.
They reached the bay of Saint-Brieuc but no British fleet joined them, so they returned to the Morbihan and appointed Cadoudal as their general.

During this time, in Quiberon, reinforcements of 2,000 men led by Charles de Virot de Sombreuil joined the émigrés.
They attempted to attack on 16 July but were crushed.
Hoche launched a final assault on 20 July and routed the émigrés.
Louis Charles d'Hervilly was fatally wounded; Puisaye managed to board a British ship.
The Republicans took more than 6,000 prisoners.
748 of them were shot by firing squad, including Sombreuil.
The day before his execution he wrote a letter to commodore Warren denouncing the flight of chief general Joseph de Puisaye.

This letter had an enormous impact on the Chouans.
A council of officers in Morbihan sentenced Puisaye to death in absentia.
Puisaye returned to Brittany in autumn 1795, where he was arrested by Pierre-Mathurin Mercier and brought before Cadoudal.
Puisaye defended himself vigorously and found he still had the support of the count of Artois.
Cadoual and Puisaye were eventually reconciled.

Guerilla fighting resumed after the failure of the English royalist expedition and spread to Normandy where Louis de Frotté, freshly landed in France in 1795, organised the uprising.

Puisaye had suffered some loss of reputation and blamed the Chouans of the Morbihan and their chiefs who, according to him, were hostile towards nobles and wanted to "establish equality under a white flag".
Puisaye left the Morbihan for the Ille-et-Vilaine, where the division chiefs were of the nobility, and joined the Mordelles division led by Jean-Joseph Ruault de La Tribonnière.
He did not receive much more support than he had in the Morbihan, but remained commander-in-chief thanks to the support of the count of Artois.
Puisaye wanted a Chouannerie led by nobles and founded the company of the chevaliers catholiques.
Several émigrés joined France to fight with the Chouans, but numerous disputes broke out between them.

In January 1796, Puisaye joined the Fougères division, the most important one in Ille-et-Vilaine, and appointed as his chief Aimé Picquet du Boisguy, chief general of the Ille-et-Vilaine and of t
