ness. But Prussia wuH not satiaAed.
an soon formed an alliance wtth n.
Car ov Russia. But the combined
armies ov Russia and Prussia we're
.powers asked for an armisiies for ten
weeks. At the end ov that time both
countries were ready for q renewal ov
hostilities. Napoleon may hsv been

they had enough. He had formed an
Alliance with Denmark In the mean
time. but hit soon became apparent
that Russia had made similar ar
/ rangements with Austria. Sweden an

Sweden. Austria. an Prussia wux
enough for even game France. But

+. Marne. About this time Bulow ap-
peared with q large recruiting force
an Napoleon wuz forced 10 retire to-
ward Paris. The French capital sur
rendered on the 31st ov March.
| The Gar ov Russia In the name ov
awl the allies declared that they
would not negotiate with Napoleon

that they would not recognize any NJ
French territory except the original
limits ov France. etc. an invited the
French Senate 10 establish q provis-
ional government. which. ov course.

clared the throne ov France had been
