under the able and energetic direction of Admiral Char-

of notice as well as the most precious encouragements.

our power, and of our naval greatness. In the difficult
circumstances which may arise, I will be at your head ;
and on your side, be ready to close round the flag of
your admiral to the patriotic cry which has saved
France in the hour of danger, and led our arms so often
to victory, namely, " Vive l'Empereur I'

it EBIJAT."
