Alta' replying to the first charge, the Marshal
proceeds thns•:---
" The charge of laving carried off the funds
of the Bank, if considered without a reference to
the necessity of the case, without reference to
the forms which were observed in the seizure,
or to the-. document's which show the:man-
ner in which the money so taken was ap"-
plied, certainly'does.present an ,act of violence,
tVhielr nothing 'can justify. But the impartial
man, the enlightened judge, examines facts and
weighs circumstances, and while he deplores., the
-calamities of-war, he sees only a necessary evil
in the execution of.a great measure authorized by
all the laws of war, justified by examyle, and found-
ed upon the. most imperious of all laws, that of
necessity; This charge, Sire, as-far as relates to
my private interests, cannot affect me; ,my cha-
racter is too well known in France, and in those
countries into which the tate 'of war has car-
ried me, to enable my enemies, _even the most
hitter of them, to excite any suspicions of
Any morality!!! The charge then can only
relate to the want of formality in time mode
of seizure, or in the misapplication of the
funds afterwards. In the month of Septem-
ber, 1813, the Count de Chabot', Superintendant
of the Finances, apprized the of the difficulties
which lie would hove to encounter in providing
for the expellees of the month Of October and tile
remainder of the year. On the 15th of that month
he wrote to me again, shoving the absolute ne-.
cessity of my'', providing fur the
.last three
months of 1813, ;And the first three of 181.1;

ifir, be said) that after the first of Oct. 1813, he
would not promise me any thing, and Added,
that. for provisions) &c. he had :no
,funds whatever to foritish me with. Of the war
contribution of fOrtyfeii.7,fit millions, there had
only been paid I 0 millions, which had been sent
to Dresden- for the-use of-the Grand Army. The
13th corps then. could not. derive. any thing from
.that contribution, the collection of which had be-
, come almost impossible, from the fiiglit.of most of
the inhabitants, upon whom the lagest contribu7
tions were levied. wished them, in order to pro-7
vhle against the wants to which I must be ex-
posed to make use of the powers which the 'iri-
peror bad given me, and, conformably to his order
•of the 17. th June, 1 imposed an additional contri-
bution upon the three Departments of the 32d
Military Division, but I soon learnt that it was
wholly :unproductive, and our situation became
every clay mire, difficult ; finally, the Col-
lectors of the Reveuties received orders to
transmit all their funds to Wise!, and then
•we were thrown entirely 'upon our own
means. The Count tie. Chabot), who scot Inc at
that time an account•of the state of the finances,
added, „OWE he to longer knew bow to face the
pub;ic'exPence ;—that lie had exhanited all • the
resources, _that he had borrowed all the private
fundi of the Customs and &oils rennis—t44
every set-vice was in orrear; and- that he could,
not imagine' .how thingsOontinueds to go or'
unless it were. by ;magic., replied
.to M.
Chabot), That the interest ot:tize Army. at. such a,
moment, when we were separated front Vrance
and front the. Emperor Napoleon, required prompt
measures, and that, in such .a crisis, We shoul' be
culpable if; in a city lifie'llambargh, tiie service
.t. •:
should suffer for Want of money, • when the Bank
offered such great resources.
The Decree of the 16th June, and the expla-
natory letter, had fixed the mode of paying the
war contribution in. the following manner :-
30 millions in reatly• money, 'lO millions in bills
of the City Of Hainburgh, and 10 millions in pro-
iisiont, clothes, &c. of every kind.
Of the 30 millions in ready, 10 millions were to
be sent to Dresden to pay the Grand Army, and
twenty milliobs were to be payable at the Bank of
ilawburgh, at. the rate of two millions a month,
from- the Ist Oct: 1813, till the 10th Aug. 1814.
