CONTINUATION OF RoSTOPCHlN'S
PAMPHLET.

In the work alluded to, M. Ms|' attributes
To me violent character. He Is the first who
has attributed to me any such character Though
others have not hesiia,ed TO repeat III and l
think he would be puzzled TO find proof OF the
charge. Before pronouncing on the acts and
conduc, of a man in office, il is necessary, if
no Injustice is intended, to pay some little at
tention to the time, the place. the circumstan-
ces, and the motives which might induce the
principal actor. Take from my administration
ofISl2 the incsndiary torch with which Napo-
leon has thought proper to arm me, and there
will be found plan from which have never
departed, but which, on the contrary, have
executed with exemplary calmness and pa.
tietce. Any other man, in my situation,
would, perhars, displayed less activity but
there were three stimulants which necessarily
warmed up my zeal at that disastrous period.
They were, the glory of my country, the i'm
porance of the post which held, and grati-
peror Paul. The occupation was so great and
SO continual, that a man had no time to get
sick; and l do not, even now, know how
was able to resist so much fatigue. From the
time when Smolensk was taken, to my depar-
ture from Moscow, that is to say, during %
days, never slept in my bed. l slept in my
clothes upon sofa, constantly walked up to
read dispatches, which were coming in from
all quarters, to answer couriers, and dispatch
them Immediately. acquired that certainty
which has always the means of being useful
10 The country when it hears its voice crying,
"sacrifce everything for my safety" Then
man despises dangers, braves obstacles, and
shuts his eyes on the future. But from the
very moment when man becomes selfish, and
begins to calculate, he does nothing Of value
and falls into the common herd.
had two important objects in view, both of
which depended on the destruction of the
French army. They were the maintenance of
tranquility in Moscow, and the causing the
inhabitants to leave ii. l succeeded beyond
my hopes. Order was maintained till the
time of the enemy's entrance, and out Of two
hundred and forty thousand inhabitants, there
remained only twelve or fifteen thousand per-
sons, who were either shop-keepers or foreign
ers, or the dregs of the populace. There was
no person of distinction among them neither
Of the nobility, nor of the clergy, nor of the
merchants. The Senate, the Courts, and all
attached to either, had left the city several days
before its occupation by the enemy. wished
to deprive Napoleon of the possibility Of form
ing communications from Moscow, with the
interior of the empire, and TO prevent him from
exercising the influence which the Frenchman
has acquired in Europe. by his literature, his
tongue, and his cuisine. By means Of these
the Russians might have been drawn near
them, their confidence might have been &C.
quired, and in the end, services might have
been exacted Of them. But in the midst ofthe
people left at Moscow, seduction was of as lit
tie avail, as if it had been attempted on deaf
mutes.

in this line. But our old friend, Phil. Dough-
