Bonaparte slept during the night at Maudon, where, as in every place through which he passed, the greatest honours were paid him.

In the morning, his carriage having broken down, we continued our journey an foot, accompanied only by some officers and an escort of dragoons of the country.

Bonaparte stopped near the Ossuary, and desired to be shown the spot where the battle of Morat was fought.

A plain in front of the chapel was pointed out to him.

An officer who had served in France was present, and explained to him how the Swiss, descending from the neighbouring mountains, were enabled, under cover of a wood, to turn the Burgundian army and put it to the rout.
