For this purpose I propose to pass the Rhine, at any place and any time that may be thought necessary.

In the advance I will place those officers on whom I can depend, and who are of my way of thinking.

I will separate the bad, and place them in situations where they can do no harm, and their position shall be such as to prevent them from uniting.

That done, as soon as I shall be on the other side of the Rhine, I will proclaim the King, and hoist the white flag.

Conde's corps and the Emperor's army will then join us.
