Σελίδα 165 - Both you and I have been calumniated. Men very unfit to appreciate our labours have seen in the marks of attachment which you have given me a zeal, of which I was the sole object. Let your future successes tell them, that it was the country, above all things, which you served in obeying me; and that, if I had any share in your affection, I owed it to my ardent love for France, our common mother.
Σελίδα 151 - Napoleon Bonaparte has placed himself without the pale of civil and social relations, and that as an enemy and disturber of the tranquillity of the world, he has rendered himself liable to public vengeance.
Σελίδα 179 - I told him that, if he pleased, he need not send up any thing to eat ; that I would go over and dine at the table of the brave officers of the 53d ; that I was sure there was not one of them who would not be happy to give a plate at the table to an old soldier ; that there was not a soldier in the regiment who had not more heart than he had ; that in the iniquitous bill of Parliament, they had decreed that I was to be treated as a prisoner ; but that he treated me worse than a condemned criminal...
Σελίδα 135 - The Allied powers having declared that the Emperor Napoleon is the only obstacle to the re-establishment of peace in Europe, the Emperor Napoleon, faithful to his oath, declares that he is ready to descend from the throne, to...
Σελίδα 151 - They declare at the same time, that, firmly resolved to maintain entire the treaty of Paris of the 30th of May, 1814. and the disposition! sanctioned by that treaty, and those which they have resolved on, or shall hereafter resolve on, to complete and to consolidate it, they will employ all their means, and will unite all their efforts, that the general peace, the object of the wishes of Europe...
Σελίδα 151 - Buonaparte destroys the only legal title on which his existence depended : by appearing again in France with projects of confusion and disorder, he has deprived himself of the protection of the law, and has manifested to the universe, that there can be neither peace nor truce with him. The powers consequently declare, that Napoleon...
Σελίδα 69 - Palaces and temples," says a Russian author, " monuments of art, and miracles of luxury, the remains of ages which had past away, and those which had been the creation of yesterday; the tombs of ancestors, and the nursery-cradles of the present generation, were indiscriminately destroyed. Nothing was left of Moscow save the remembrance of the city, and the deep resolution to avenge its fall.
Σελίδα 179 - I told him that such employments were not asked for ; that they were given by Governments to people who had dishonoured themselves. He said that he only did his duty, and that I ought not to blame him, as he only acted according to his orders. I replied, " So does the hangman. He acts according to his orders. But when he puts a rope...
Σελίδα 23 - The general science of war, upon the most extended scale, seems to have been so little understood or practised by the .English generals at this time, that, instead of the country being carefully reconnoitred by officers of skill, the march of the army was arranged by such hasty and inaccurate information as could be collected from the peasants. By their report, General Moore was induced to divide his army...
Σελίδα 31 - Napoleon arrived alone, found himself under all these disadvantages, and, we repeat, by bis almost unassisted genius, came, in the course of five days, in complete triumph out of a struggle which bore a character so unpromising.
