Napoleon Assumes Command in

of our country. You go to combat against
one of the best armed of the European
countries, but other countries as valiant as
this have not been able to resist your
valor. 1t will be the same to day.
The war which now commences will be
long and hard contested, for its theater viii
be places hedged with obstacles and thick
with fortresses. But nothing is beyond
persevering efforts. Soldiers of Africa,
Italy and Mexico, you will prove once more
what the French army is able to accom-
plish when animated by a sentiment Of
duty, maintained by discipline and infu
enced by love of country.
Whatever road we may take across oul
frontiers we will find upon it glorious traces
OF our fathers, and we will show ourselves
worthy of them all. France follows you
with ardent prayers, and the eyes of the
universe are upon You. Upon our sue
cess depends the fate of liberty and civil
cation. Soldiers, let each one do his duty
and the God of battles will be with us.
