Duroc his satisfaction with my services。  The Emperor on recalling Duroc
from Berlin did not manifest the least apprehension respecting Prussia。
Duroc wrote to me the following letter on the occasion of his recall��

     MY DEAR BOURRIENNEThe Emperor having thought my services necessary
     to the army has recalled me。  I yesterday had a farewell audience of
     the King and Queen�察�who treated me very graciously。  His Majesty
     presented me with his portrait set in diamonds。  The Emperor
     Alexander will probably depart to morrow�察�and the Archduke Anthony
     vary speedily。  We cannot but hope that their presence here will
     facilitate a good understanding。
                                        ��Signed��  DUROC。

Whenever foreign armies were opposing France the hopes of the emigrants
revived。  They falsely imagined that the powers coalesced against
Napoleon were labouring in their cause�察�and many of them entered the
Russian and Austrian armies。  Of this number was General Dumouriez。
I received information that he had landed at Stade on the 21st of
November�察�but whither he intended to proceed was not known。  A man named
St。 Martin�察�whose wife lived with Dumouriez�察�and who had accompanied the
general from England to Stade�察�came to Hamburg�察�where he observed great
precautions for concealment�察�and bought two carriages�察�which were
immediately forwarded to Stade。  St�察�Martin himself immediately proceeded
to the latter place。  I was blamed for not having arrested this man�察�but
he had a commission attesting that he was in the English service�察�and�察�as
I have before mentioned�察�a foreign commission was a safeguard�察�and the
only one which could not be violated in Hamburg。

In December 1805 the English recruiting in Hanover was kept up without
interruption�察�and attended with extraordinary success。  Sometimes a
hundred men were raised in a day。  The misery prevailing in Germany��
which had been ravaged by the war�察�the hatred against the French�察�and the
high bounty that was offered enabled the English to procure as many men
as they wished。

The King of Sweden�察�meditating on the stir he should make in Hanover��
took with him a camp printing´press to publish the bulletins of the grand
Swedish army。 The first of these bulletins announced to Europe that his
Swedish Majesty was about to leave Stralsund�察�and that his army would
take up its position partly between Nelsen and Haarburg�察�and partly
between Domitz and the frontiers of Hamburg。

Among the anecdotes of Napoleon connected with this campaign I find in my
notes the following�察�which was related to me by Rapp。  Some days before
his entrance into Vienna Napoleon�察�who was riding on horseback along the
road�察�dressed in his usual uniform of the chasseurs of the Guard�察�met an
open carriage�察�in which were seated a lady and a priest。  The lady was in
tears�察�and Napoleon could not refrain from stopping to ask her what was
the cause of her distress。  ;Sir�察─�she replied�察�for she did not know the
Emperor�察 �I have been pillaged at my estate�察�two leagues from hence�察�by a
party of soldiers�察�who have murdered my gardener。  I am going to seek
your Emperor�察�who knows my family�察�to whom he was once under great
obligations。;;What is your name�拭─ �inquired Napoleon。;De Bunny�察�
replied the lady。  ;I am the daughter of M de Marbeuf�察�formerly Governor
of Corsica。;; Madame�察─�exclaimed Napoleon�察 �I am the Emperor。  I am
delighted to have the opportunity of serving you。;;You cannot
conceive�察─�continued Rapp�察 �the attention which the Emperor showed Madame
de Bunny。  He consoled her�察�pitied her�察�almost apologised for the
misfortune she had sustained。  'Will you have the goodness�察�Madame��' said
he�察�'to go and wait for me at my head´quarters�拭 �I will join you
speedily�察�every member of M。 de Marbeuf's family has a claim on my
respect。'  The Emperor immediately gave her a picquet of chasseurs of his
guard to escort her。  He saw her again during the day�察�when he loaded her
with attentions�察�and liberally indemnified her for the losses she had
sustained。;

For some time previous to the battle of Austerlitz the different corps of
the army intersected every part of Germany and Italy�察�all tending towards
Vienna as a central point。  At the beginning of November the corps
commanded by Marshal Bernadotte arrived at Saltzburg at the moment when
the Emperor had advanced his headquarters to Braunau�察�where there were
numerous magazines of artillery and a vast quantity of provisions of
every kind。  The junction of the corps commanded by Bernadotte in Hanover
with the Grand Army was a point of such high importance that Bonaparte
had directed the Marshal to come up with him as speedily as possible�察�and
to take the shortest road。  This order obliged Bernadotte to pass through
the territory of the two Margravates。

At that time we were at peace with Naples。  In September the Emperor had
concluded with Ferdinand IV。 a treaty of neutrality。  This treaty enabled
Carra St。 Cyr�察�who occupied Naples�察�to evacuate that city and to join
Massena in Upper Italy�察�both reached the Grand Army on the 28th of
November。  But no sooner had the troops commanded by Carra St。 Cyr
quitted the Neapolitan territory than the King of Naples�察�influenced by
his Ministers�察�and above all by Queen Caroline�察�broke the treaty of
neutrality�察�ordered hostile preparations against France�察�opened his ports
to the enemies of the Emperor�察�and received into his States 12��000
Russians and 8000 English。  It was on the receipt of this news that
Bonaparte�察�in one of his most violent bulletins�察�styled the Queen of
Naples a second Fredegonda。  The victory of Austerlitz having given
powerful support to his threats�察�the fall of Naples was decided�察�and
shortly after his brother Joseph was seated on the Neapolitan throne。

At length came the grand day when�察�to use Napoleon's expression�察�the Sun
of Austerlitz rose。  All our forces were concentrated on one point�察�at
about 40 leagues beyond Vienna。  There remained nothing but the wreck of
the Austrian army�察�the corps of Prince Charles being by scientific
manoeuvres kept at a distance from the line of operations�察�but the
Russians alone were superior to us in numbers�察�and their army was almost
entirely composed of fresh troops。  The most extraordinary illusion
prevailed in the enemy's camp。  The north of Europe has its Gascons as
well as the south of France�察�and the junior portion of the Russian army
at this period assumed an absurd braggadocio tone。  On the very eve of
the battle the Emperor Alexander sent one of his aides de camp�察�Prince
Dolgorouki�察�as a flag of truce to Napoleon。  The Prince could not repress
his self´sufficiency even in the presence of the Emperor�察�and Rapp
informed me that on dismissing him the Emperor said�察 �If you were on 'the
heights of Montmartre��' I would answer such impertinence only by cannon´
balls。;  This observation was very remarkable�察�inasmuch as subsequent
events rendered it a prophecy。

As to the battle itself�察�I can describe it almost as well as if I had
witnessed it�察�for some time after I had the pleasure of seeing my friend
Rapp�察�who was sent an a mission to Prussia。  He gave me the following
account��

     ;When we arrived at Austerlitz the Russians were not aware of the
     scientific plans which the Emperor had laid for drawing them upon
     the ground he had marked out�察�and seeing our advanced guards fall
     back before theirs they already considered themselves conquerors。
     They supposed that their Guard alone would secure an easy triumph。
     But the action commenced�察�and they experienced an energetic
     resistance on all points。  At one o'clock the victory was yet
     uncertain�察�for they fought admirably。  They wished to make a last
     effort by directing close masses against our centre。  Their Imperial
     Guard deployed�察�their artillery�察�cavalry�察�and infantry marched upon
     a bridge which they attacked�察�and this movement�察�which was concealed
     by the rising and falling of the ground�察�was not observed by
     Napoleon。  I was at that moment near the Emperor�察�awaiting his
     orders。  We heard a well´maintained firing of musketry。  The
     Russians were repulsing one of our brigades。  The Emperor ordered me
     to take some of the Mamelukes�察�two squadrons of chasseurs�察�and one
     of grenadiers of the Guard�察�and to go and reconnoitre the state of
     things。  I set off at full gallop�察�and soon discovered the disaster。
     The Russian cavalry had penetrated our squares�察�and was sabring our
     men。  I perceived in the distance some masses of cavalry and
     infantry�察�which formed the reserve of the Russians。  At that moment
     the enemy advanced to meet us�察�bringing with him four pieces of
     artillery�察�and ranged himself in order of battle。  I had the brave
     Morland on my left�察�and General D'Allemagne on my right。  'Forward��
     my lads��' exclaimed I to my troop。  'See how your brothers and
     friends are being cut to pieces。  Avenge them�  �avenge our flag��
     Forward ��' These few words roused my men。  We advanced as swiftly as
     our horses could carry us upon the artillery�察�which was taken。  The
     enemy's cavalry�察�which awaited us firmly�察�was repulsed by the same
     shock�察�and fled in disorder�察�galloping as we did over the wrecks of
     our squares。  The Russians rallied but a squadron of horse
     grenadiers came up to reinforce me�察�and thus enabled me to hold
     ground against the reserves of the Russian Guard。  We charged again��
     and this charge was terrible。  The brave Morland was killed by my��
     side。  It was downright butchery。  We were opposed man to man�察�and
     were so mingled together that the infantry of neither one nor the
     other side could venture to fire for fear of killing its own men。
     At length the intrepidity of our troops overcame every obstacle�察�and
     the Russians fled in disorder�察�in sight of the two Emperors of
     Russia and Austria�察�who had stationed themselves on a height in
     order to witness the battle。  They saw a desperate one�察─�said Rapp��
     ;and I trust they were satisfied。  For my part�察�my dear friend�察�I
     never spent so glorious a day。  Wh
