The campaign which we have just concluded will be celebrated in the records of history.

With less than 30,000 men, in a state of almost complete destitution, it is a fine thing to have, in the course of less than two months, beaten, eight different times, an army of from 65 to 70,000 men, obliged the King of Sardinia to make a humiliating peace, and driven the Austrians from Italy.

The last victory, of which you have doubtless had an account, the passage of the Mincio, has closed our labours.

There now remain for us the siege of Mantua and the castle of Milan; but these obstacles will not detain us long.

Adieu, my dear Bourrienne: I repeat General Bonaparte's request that you should repair hither, and the testimony of his desire to see you.
Receive, etc., (Signed) MARMONT.
Chief of Brigade (Artillery) and Aide de camp to the General-in-Chief.
I was obliged to remain at Sens, soliciting my erasure from the emigrant list, which I did not obtain, however, till 1797, and to put an end to a charge made against me of having fabricated a certificate of residence.
Meanwhile I applied myself to study, and preferred repose to the agitation of camps.
