are generally known。 I was made acquainted with but few secret details
relative to those events�察�for Rapp had gone to Dantzic�察�and it was he who
most readily communicated to me all that the Emperor said and did�察�and
all that was passing around him。
��Savory gives the following account of the interview between
Napoleon and Alexander at Tilsit。
;The Emperor Napoleon�察�whose courtesy was manifest in all his
actions�察�ordered a large raft to be floated in the middle of the
river�察�upon which was constructed a room well covered in and
elegantly decorated having two doors on opposite aides�察�each of
which opened into an antechamber。 The work could not have been
better executed in Paris。 The roof was surmounted by two
weathercocks�此�one displaying the eagle of Russia�察�and the other the
eagle of France。 The two outer doors were also surmounted by the
eagles of the two countries。
;The raft was precisely in the middle of the river�察�with the two
doors of the salon facing the two opposite banks。
;The two sovereigns appeared on the banks of the river�察�and embarked
at the same moment But the Emperor Napoleon having a good boat��
manned by marines of the Guard�察�arrived first on the raft�察�entered
the room�察�and went to the opposite door�察�which he opened�察�and then
stationed himself on the edge of the raft to receive the Emperor
Alexander�察�who had not yet arrived�察�not having each good rowers as
the Emperor Napoleon。
;The two Emperors met in the most amicable way�察�et least to all
appearance。 They remained together for a considerable time�察�and
then took leave of each other with as friendly an air as that with
which they had met。
;Next day the Emperor of Russia established himself at Tilsit with a
battalion of his Guard。 Orders were given for evacuating that part
of the town where he and his battalion were to be quartered�察�and��
though we were very much pressed for room�察�no encroachment on the
space allotted to the Russians was thought of。
;On the day the Emperor Alexander�察�entered Tilsit the whole army was
under arms。 The Imperial Guard was drawn out in two lines of three
deep from the landing´place to the Emperor Napoleon's quarters�察�and
from thence to the quarters of the Emperor of Russia。 A salute of
100 guns was fired the moment Alexander stepped ashore on the spot
where the Emperor Napoleon was waiting to receive him。 The latter
carried his attention to his visitor so far as to send from his
quarters the furniture for Alexander's bedchamber。 Among the
articles sent was a camp´bed belonging to the Emperor�察�which he
presented to Alexander�察�who appeared much pleased with the gift。
;This meeting�察�the first which history records of the same kind and
of equal importance�察�attracted visitors to Tilsit from 100 leagues
round。 M。 de Talleyrand arrived�察�and after the observance of the
usual ceremonies business began to be discussed。; ��Memoirs of the
Due de Rovigo�察�tome iii。 p。 117��。
;When�察─�said Napoleon�察 ─�I was at Tilsit with the Emperor Alexander
and the King of Prussia�察�I was the most ignorant of the three in
military affairs。 These two sovereigns�察�especially the King of
Prussia�察�were completely 'au fait' as to the number of buttons there
ought to be in front of a jacket�察�how many behind�察�and the manner in
which the skirts ought to be cut。 Not a tailor in the army knew
better than King Frederick how many measures of cloth it took to
make a jacket。 In fact�察─�continued he laughing�察 �I was nobody in
comparison with them。 They continually tormented me about matters
belonging to tailors�察�of which I was entirely ignorant�察�although�察�in
order not to affront them�察�I answered just as gravely as if the fate
of an army depended upon the cut of a jacket。 When I went to see
the King of Prussia�察�instead of a library�察�I found that he had a
large room�察�like an arsenal�察�furnished with shelves and pegs�察�on
which were hung fifty or sixty jackets of different patterns。 Every
day he changed his fashion and put on a different one。 He attached
more importance to this than was necessary for the salvation of a
kingdom ��O'Meara's Napoleon in Exile。����
I�察�however�察�learned one circumstance peculiarly worthy of remark which
occurred in the Emperor's apartments at Tilsit the first time he received
a visit from the King of Prussia。 That unfortunate monarch�察�who was
accompanied by Queen Louisa�察�had taken refuge in a mill beyond the town。
This was his sole habitation�察�whilst the Emperors occupied the two
portions of the town�察�which is divided by the Niemen。 The fact I am
about to relate reached me indirectly through the medium of an offices of
the Imperial Guard�察�who was on duty in Napoleon's apartments and was an
eye´witness of it。 When the Emperor Alexander visited Napoleon they
continued for a long time in conversation on a balcony below�察�where as
immense crowd hailed their meeting with enthusiastic shouts。 Napoleon
commenced the conversation�察�as he did the year preceding with the Emperor
of Austria�察�by speaking of the uncertain fate of war。 Whilst they were
conversing the King of Prussia was announced。 The King's emotion was
visible�察�and may easily be imagined�察�for as hostilities were suspended��
and his territory in possession of the French�察�his only hope was in the
generosity of the conqueror。 Napoleon himself�察�it is said�察�appeared
moved by his situation�察�and invited him�察�together with the Queen�察�to
dinner。 On sitting down to table Napoleon with great gallantry told the
beautiful Queen that he would restore to her Silesia�察�a province which
she earnestly wished should be retained in the new arrangements which
were necessarily about to take place。
��Las Cases mentions that at the time of the treaty of Tilsit
Napoleon wrote to the Empress Josephine as follows��
;'The Queen of Prussia is really a charming woman。 She is fond of
coquetting with me�察�but do not be jealous�此�I am like oilcloth�察�along
which everything of this sort elides without penetrating。 It would
cost me too dear to play the gallant'
;On this subject an anecdote was related in the salon of Josephine。
It was said that the Queen of Prussia one day had a beautiful rose
in her hand�察�which the Emperor asked her to give him。 The Queen
hesitated for a few moments�察�and then presented it to him�察�saying��
'Why should I so readily grant what you request�察�while you remain
deaf to all my entreaties��' ��She alluded to the fortress of
Magdeburg�察�which she had earnestly solicited�� ��Memorial de St。
Helene��。��
The treaty of peace concluded at Tilsit between France and Russia�察�on the
7th of July�察�and ratified two days after�察�produced no less striking a
change in the geographical division of Europe than had been effected the
year preceding by the Treaty of Presburg。 The treaty contained no
stipulation dishonourable to Russia�察�whose territory was preserved
inviolate�察�but how was Prussia treated�拭 �Some historians�察�for the vain
pleasure of flattering by posthumous praises the pretended moderation of
Napoleon�察�have almost reproached him for having suffered some remnants of
the monarchy of the great Frederick to survive。 There is�察�nevertheless��
a point on which Napoleon has been wrongfully condemned�察�at least with
reference to the campaign of 1807。 It has been said that he should at
that period have re´established the kingdom of Poland�察�and certainly
there is every reason to regret�察�for the interests of France and Europe��
that it was not re´established。 But when a desire�察�even founded on
reason�察�is not carried into effect�察�should we conclude that the wished´
for object ought to be achieved in defiance of all obstacles�拭 �At that
time�察�that is to say�察�during the campaign of Tilsit�察�insurmountable
obstacles existed。
If�察�however�察�by the Treaty of Tilsit�察�the throne of Poland was not
restored to serve as a barrier between old Europe and the Empire of the
Czars�察�Napoleon founded a Kingdom of Westphalia�察�which he gave to the
young 'ensigne de vaisseau' whom he had scolded as a schoolboy�察�and whom
he now made a King�察�that he might have another crowned prefect under his
control。 The Kingdom of Westphalia was composed of the States of Hesse´
Cassel�察�of a part of the provinces taken from Prussia by the moderation
of the Emperor�察�and of the States of Paderborn�察�Fulda�察�Brunswick�察�and a
part of the Electorate of Hanover。 Napoleon�察�at the same time�察�though he
did not like to do things by halves�察�to avoid touching the Russian and
Austrian provinces of old Poland�察�planted on the banks of the Vistula the
Grand Duchy of Warsaw�察�which he gave to the King of Saxony�察�with the
intention of increasing or destroying it afterwards as he might find
convenient。 Thus he allowed the Poles to hope better things for the
future�察�and ensured to himself partisans in the north should the chances
of fortune call him thither。 Alexander�察�who was cajoled even more than
his father had been by what I may call the political coquetry of
Napoleon�察�consented to all these arrangements�察�acknowledged 'in globo'
all the kings crowned by the Emperor�察�and accepted some provinces which
had belonged to his despoiled ally�察�the King of Prussia�察�doubtless by way
of consolation for not having been able to get more restored to Prussia。
The two Emperors parted the best friends in the world�察�but the
Continental system was still in existence。
