Imagine not, Gentlemen, that I am going to treat I
of whin has been done during a long and happy
peace, in which France; surrounded by friendly na
lions, receiving the tribute which her ingenuity itu-
po,,es• on them, ri,:ll in every kind of rc.sources, had
nothing 16 do but to improve her internal Adminis
tratiou, and to 'increase her riches. No:, you are
well aware-that this yeitr has been a year of war,
though the belts that struck our enemies were so far
distant that we could scarcely bear the thunder..
On the 25tLt of September the Emperor left NO; ;

of an army already assembled in the rear of an enemy

Durintthis.space of time, in'spite of the obstacles
opposed by the ,fOrtified•places, the rivers, whiter,
and unfavourable weather, the French army, in this
first part of the campaign, traversed in its.viderious
career; more than three bandied leagues of country,
took two hundred thousand prisoners, four:thousand'
eight hundred pieces of cannon,-four hundred pair:
of colours, conquered Prussia, occupied Poland, and
menaced Russia. - Whe fortresses of Prussia fell one

report of these. triumphs, eagerly seized the oppor-
