66 MADAM—New orders from the Emperor lead
me to your Majesty's feet to lay these new trophies

taken from the enemies of France.
" At the time wben the Saracens were defeated by

Charles Martel on the plains of Tours •nd Poictiers,
the capital was adorned but with the spoils ofa single
nation. This day, Madam, when dangers equal to
those with which francs was then menaced, have
given rise to successes, more important, and which
were more difficult to obtain, your august Spouse
offers you Standards taken from the *ft great

Powers of E,urope.
" Since a blind policy has raised up against us so
many nations—even those which France has restored
to independence, and for whom she has made such
great sacrifices—may we not say that those standards
Are taken from all Europe?
44 When our enemies, listening only to the sugges
don of revenge, in conieinist of the ordinary rules of
war, resolved to penetrate into this empire, leaving
nehind them the vast chain ot fortresses which stir•
rounds it on all sides—when they. designed by a rash
measure to get possession of the capital, without
thinking of the means of effecting their retreat in the
midst of a population whom their conduct has exas-
perated, how was it possible that they were not stop.
ped in this gigantic enterprise by theif knowledge Of
the genius, of the talents, of the character of the Em-
peror ? In a few days they have learned the falseness
ot their calculations. The bold and rapid operations
which have just baffled their designs, recall to every
mind the glorious and memorable camtmign in Italy
in the year 5, and that which succeeded it. It
was against the flower of the troops :libel against
us, at the battles of Montmirail and Vaucharnp, at
the combat of Montereau, that the ten standards
were taken, which I present to your Majesty from
the Emperor.
" These pledges of French valour presage to us
new and greater successes, if the obstinacy of the
enemy protracts the war. This noble hope is in the
heart of every Frenchman. You share in it, Madam;
you who, always confiding in the genius of your au-
gust Spouse in the efforts and the love of the nation
have continued to shew, in all the circumstances of
this war, a firmness of mind, and virtues worthy 1;1,
admiration of Europe and of posterity."
Her Majesty answered M. Ic Due de Feltre,
nister of\Var

" I see with lively satisfaction these trophies which
you present me by the orders cif the Emperor, rill
august Spouse.
" They are, in my eyes, the pledges of the sAftll
of the country. •
" Let all Frinchmen, at the. sight
of them. rise in
arms. Let them assemble round their Monarch and
their Father. Their courage, guided by his geninc.
Will soon accomplish the deliverance of our councrT;:
