Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Consulate and the Empire of France Under Napoleon, Vol. 1: Forming a Sequel to "the History of the French Revolution" I use the word here in its ordinary acceptation, and, apply ing it to subjects most diverse, will endeavour to make my meaning plain. One often observes in a child, a workman, or a statesman, something which one does not at once qualify by the name of wit, because it is devoid of brilliance, but which one calls intelligence, because the person endowed with it is able at once to grasp the meaning of what is said to him; sees, understands with half a word, if a child, what is being taught him - if a workman, the work given him to execute if a statesman, events, their causes and consequences; reads character, the proclivities of the men he has to deal with, the conduct to be expected from them, and is neither surprised nor embarrassed by what may take place, although it may cause him sorrow. This is what is understood by intelligence, and for all practical purposes this simple quality, which makes no show, is of greater utility in life than all the gifts of mind, genius excepted, which, after all, is but intelligence with the addition of brilliancy, power, breadth, and readiness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Consulate and the Empire of France Under Napoleon, Vol. 12 of 12 What we have said shows how great would have been the folly of hastening to the Rhine on the morrow of the 20th of March to take advantage of the enthusiasm excited by the miraculous return from Elba. Had Napoleon done so, he would have met forces triple and quadruple the strength of his own; he would, by going so far, have made the reconstruction of our regiments more difficult and almost impossible, and finally, he would have turned against him all those who desired that every means of preserving peace should be tried, and who would not pardon his going to war unless it was absolutely inevi table. But if it were wise to wait until our forces were drawn from the inefficient state in which they were on 20th of March, and until the hostile dispositions of Europe were no longer doubtful, there remained an important question, whether having waited until the middle of June, it would not have been better to wait until the middle of July or August, when our forces would have been completely organised.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Consulate and the Empire of France Under Napoleon, Vol. 3 But the people, and especially the monks, that cloistered portion of the people, were ex asperated. Among these last nothing could mitigate the feeling of wounded pride - neither the hope of a regeneration which they were incapable of appreciating, nor tolerance in re gard to foreigners whom they detested, neither the love of repose nor the fear of disorder. The Spanish people, the people of the streets and the fields, like those of the cloister, ardent, ia dolent, weary of quiet, so far from being fond of it, caring little about the burning of towns or country houses, in which there was nothing belonging to them, were ready to gratify that propensity to agitation, which the French peo ple had gratified in 1789, by efi'ecting a great democratic revolution. They were ready to exert, in support of the old system all the dem agogue passions which the French people had exerted for the foundation of the new one. They were about to be as violent, as tumul tuous, as sanguinary, for the throne and the altar, as their neighbours had been against both. They were about to be so in proportion to the warmth of their blood and the ferocity of their disposition. In the Spanish people, nevertheless, a noble sentiment blended with the feelings that we have just mentioned - the love of their country, of their kings, of their religion, which they amalgamated into one af fection, and under the inspiration of which they were destined to furnish splendid examples of fortitude and frequently of heroism.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Consulate and the Empire of France Under Napoleon, Vol. 10 of 12 Napoleon was about to throw himself on Laon when Blucher anticipated him. The latter had first thought of sending half his army against Marmont, believing his to be our principal column. But in his staff numerous voices were raised against this project, and it was proved to him that, above all things, he ought to Oppose Napoleon in front of the city of Laon. Blucher, who was ill that day, and more inclined than usual to yield to the advice of his lieutenants, had therefore suspended the pre scribed movement, and determined to direct his efforts straight before him, that is to say, on Clacy, whence Napoleon threatened to turn his position.

De Metternich Napoleon, returning to Dresden on the 1 5th, at length, after having delayed the selection of the French plenipotentiaries under various pretexts, nominates MM. De Narbonne and Caulaincourt - A false interpretation given to the convention, which prolongs the armistice, furnishes him with a fresh pretext for deferring the departure of M. De Caulaincourt - He hopes by thus gaining time to delay the resumption of hostilities until the r7th - The difficulty raised with respect to the armistice having been overcome, Napoleon sends M. De Caulaincourt, furnished with instructions which raise almost insoluble questions of form - In the meantime he leaves Dresden on the 25th of July for the purpose of meeting the Empress at Mayence - Financial affairs and policy of the Empire during the Saxon campaign - Affairs of the seminaries of Tournay and Gand, and of the jury of Antwerp - Return of Napoleon to Dresden on the 4th of August, after having passed in review the new corps which have arrived in Saxony - Frivolous difficulties with respect to matters of form, by which even the constitution of the Congress of Prague is prevented - M.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Consulate and the Empire of France Under Napoleon, Vol. 4 On pronouncing these words, Napoleon as sumed the most threatening air, and a new war was evinced in his gestures, his accent, and his look. He resumed and said, This war against England is long and painful, I well know. But what would you have me do? What method should I adopt? Apparently, since you complain so much of the sea being closed, you demand that it should be open, that a single power should not rule them at the ex pense of all others, nor take possession of the colonies of all other nations, nor arrogate to itself despotic power over every ﬂag. For my part, I am irrevocably fixed in this matter: I will never abandon the rights of neutrals; I will never allow the principle to prevail that the lag does not protect merchandise; that the neutral is obliged to repair to England and there to pay tribute. If I had the baseness to mintain such theories you would shortly be unable to leave Bouen or Havre without a pass port from the English. My decrees of Berlin and Milan shall be the laws of the Empire until England shall have renounced her foolish pre tmsions. The Americans ask leave to reappear in our ports, to bring you cotton and to take your silk, which would afford you great relief.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Consulate and the Empire of France Under Napoleon, Vol. 11: Forming a Sequel Napoleon calculated that these 300 thousand men, whom he did not suppose so much diminished as they really were by fatigue, sickness, and dispersions, would be more than sufficient to subjugate Spain, even though reduced to 200 thousand, since the English would naturally have lost all relish for aiding the Spaniards since the campaign of Corui'ia. Under vigorous com mand, these 200 thousand would certainly have been sufficient, although the passion of a whole people in arms against the foreigner is capable of working many miracles; but the authority left by Napoleon at Madrid to interpret his instructions, and cause them to be executed, could not supply the place of his genius, or of his will, or of his ascendancy over men; and the most powerful means were destined to be wrecked, not by the resistance of the Spaniards, but by the military anarchy resulting from his absence. King Joseph, in fact, though good tempered, rational, and of tolerably well-regulated habits, possessed, as we have said, none of the qualities of a commander, though he had a strong ambition for military glory as a family patrimony. But he had neither activity nor vigour, nor any experience in war, nor, in lieu of experience, any of those superior qualities of mind which make up for the want of it. He had, as we have also said, taken for his Mentor the worthy and discreet marshal Jourdan, to whose judgment he submitted his military plans, but most frequently without hearkening to his advice; and after long oscillating between the marshal and his familiar councillors, he would make up his mind as he could according to the impressions of the moment.
