He has punished the conspirators, so far as lay in his power.

But some of them, for instance Baron von Moudenfels, do not belong to the number of his subjects, but are Austrians.

The emperor did not have the sentence which he pronounced upon his own subjects executed upon them; he could not at this time, for you know that negotiations for peace have been opened, and the treaty will be signed immediately.

So the emperor did not wish to constitute himself a judge of Austrian subjects; it is a delicate attention to the Austrian emperor, and the latter will know how to thank him for it and to punish the criminals with all the rigor of the law.
Therefore Baron von Moudenfels and Count von Kotte have merely been held as prisoners, and were compelled to witness the execution to-day." "What execution ?" asked Leonore in horror.
"Colonel Lejeune, Captain de Guesniard, and two sous-lieutenants were shot this morning on the meadow at Schoenbrunn,"[E] said Schulmeister in a low tone.
Leonore shuddered, and a deathlike pallor overspread her face.

"And _I_ delivered them to death!" she moaned.
"And if you had spared them, you would have delivered the Emperor Napoleon, the greatest man of the age, to death, to the most terrible torture of imprisonment!" cried her father, shrugging his shoulders.
