Side 127 - Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, Mediator of the Swiss Confederation.
Side 347 - I gave to you, and with the spirit of all my letters, you must not allow, happen what may, the Empress and the King of Rome to fall into the hands of the enemy. The manoeuvres which I am about to make may possibly prevent your hearing from me for several clays.
Side 304 - ' Prince Schwarzenberg has at last given signs of life. He has just sent a flag of truce to ask for a suspension of hostilities. " It is difficult to be cowardly to this degree. He had constantly refused, and in the most insulting terms, any kind of suspension of arms or armistice, and even to receive my flags of truce, after the capitulation of Dantzig and of Dresden, a horrible thing of which but few examples can be found in history.
Side 365 - America ; we read travels, we made plans, we arrived at your house, we wandered over that immense country, where alone we might hope to enjoy liberty. Vain hopes ! vain projects ! which only made us doubly feel our misfortunes. They could not have been borne with more serenity and courage, I might almost add gaiety.
