ence of my empire, of my trusty subjects, nod to maintain
the!, prosperity and tranquil.ity. And in like way, that the
laudable can that ever since the commencement of this war
of happy issue, which has been undertaken with that good
intention, thou hut given, by thy intelligence, to the high
administration of the army which thou commandest, having
merited my praise and approval, have increased my imperial
favour towels the*. In like manner my victorious imperial
troops which are under thy orders, having displayed before
the whole world a faithful conduct, and that abnegation which
is part of the teal, fidelity, and valour which are natural to
them, and have again proved before friend and foe that
they are the valorous descendents of those brave men who,
in the times of our glorious ancestors, and in their earwigs,
split their blood and sacrificed their lives in order to
strengthen the foundations of the empire, and Mill the
country to prosper, equally shows that the confidence which
we place in them with regard to the privations and fatigues
of every kind, which they will boar with pride for the de-
fence of the inlependence and glory of our empire and our
fatherland, is based upon the truth of thirties, facts, and as

the felicity and welfare of them all; and finally, that
wherever my imperial army may be, my favour and high
attention far its welfare will accompany it.
" It now happens that the feethice of my empire indis-
pensably requires that a sufficient portion of the troops be-
longing to my imperial army of Itoutnelia should proceed
with thee to the Crimea, rejoin thy victorious recaps which
have prec:ded them, and the armies of the high powers,
sincere and intimate allies of my empire, in order to combat
the enemy. My eyes rest upon you. Plate confidence in
the help and mercy of the Lord Almighty of the Universe,
and sun to your glorious precedents, by worthily serving
the sense of the honour of the empire and nation! Take
the greatest care to behave amicably and in harmony whh
the generals, officers, and soldiers of the two high powers
above-mentioned, my allies in the cause in which the good
right of my empire is recognised by the whole world. For-
tify thus doubly my imperial favour towards you. Give
fresh proof of your inborn valour, of your well known rev
pect for the fundamental military lam, and of your sin-
gers devotion to my imperial person.
