THE INVASION OF FRANCE.

GENERAL ORDER.

" Nvon, December fto.
a Sot:Duns !--We this day enter upon the eitealy's tvrritof v. The
exces-es unm►itted by the armies of the enemy in our coun'ry are voi
examitle for us to follow. These robVers are no more ; they have 'we-
lshed from or on the field of battle. The heart of a soldier
'mous no revenge; more especially against defenceless inhabitants,
Who have suffered so much from the rnysf:es of war. Mensuers ha%e
been talsen to provide the troops amply with provisions ; and I com-
mand, upon pain of rigid punishment, the obiervance i•f the same
strict discipline and regularity which has hillierto distiognished us, nod,
which the inhabitants of Saitzerland have so much praised. IL is this
01.1 e which can 'secure to us the iidventeges already obtaincd.
`i I Express to the Conlamders of regiments of infantry my satiq-
faction at the strict order which they have preservt d among tl:e troop*
tyon their march. Our exertions hare been great, but the object svio
v‘eight,y, and we Lave now accomplished it.
Count VON BUBNA."
