in person:
SoLDIERs:-I come to take my
place at your head, TO defend the
honor of the soil of our country. You
go to combat against one the best
armed of European countries, but
other countries. as valiant as this,
have not been able to resist your val

The war which now commences will
be long and hardly contested. for Its
theatre will be places hedged with
obstacles, and thick with fortresses,
but nothing beyond the perseveriDg
efforts of the soldiers of Africa, Italy
aud Mexico. You will prove once
more what the French army is able to
accomplish when animated by a SEN
timent of duty, maintained by discip-
line, and Influenced by love of their
country.
Whatever road we may take across
our frontiers, we will find upon ii
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 success de-
pends the fate of liberty and civiliz9-
tion. Soldiers! let each one do his
duty. and the God of Battles will be
with US. NAPOLEON.
