with regret to behold soon the dissolution of
the elements of force so we'll organized and
formidable. As a sovereign, and as commander
in chief, thank your again for your confidence

in warfare.
If success has crowned our efforts, / am hap
Ply to attribute the greater part of it to skill
full and devoted generals. who rendered my
command so easy, because, animated with a
sacred fire, they have necessarily given an eX
ample of duty and of disregard of death. A

sumo the occupations of peace. Nevertheless,
do not forget what we have done together; let
the remembrance of obstacles overcome, of
dangers eluded, of imperfectiOns discovered, be
ever present to your minds in cOmmemOration

medal to all who took part in it, and wish that
to-day you may be the first to wear it i: may it
recall me sometimes to your memory; and
while reading the glorious names engraved
thereon, let each eXclaim, If France has done
so much for people who is her friend, what
would she not do for her own independence. 1

of the representative princes, of prerogatives
given to the aristocracy of all the provinces,
and lastly, by strict catholic spirit.
