Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte

CHAPTER IV
19/31

Take the post route and arrive as soon as you can.

We are on the point of penetrating into Germany.

The language is changing already, and in four days we shall hear no more Italian.
Prince Charles has been well beaten, and we are pursuing him.

If this campaign be fortunate, we may sign a peace, which is so necessary for Europe, in Vienna.

Adieu, my dear Bourrienne: reckon for something the zeal of one who is much attached to you.
(Signed) MARMONT.
BONAPARTE, GENERAL-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMY OF ITALY.
Headquarters, Gorizia, 2d Germinal, year V.
The citizen Bourrienne is to come to me on receipt of the present order.
(Signed) BONAPARTE.
The odious manner in which I was then harassed, I know not why, on the part of the Government respecting my certificate of residence, rendered my stay in France not very agreeable.
