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. 2 of 12 The emperor, inflamed as he was against England, was, never theless, a dangerous ally; misunderstandings might at any moment be revived, even with him. Moreover, that which only appeared as a symptom of insanity on the part of the Emperor Paul, was a remarkable instance of the progress of Russian ambition during three-quarters of a century. In fact, it was but eighty years before that Peter the Great, attracting, for the first time, the attention of all Europe, limited the Sphere of his policy to the north of that continent, by contending against Charles XII., in order to carry the election of a king for Poland. Forty years afterwards, Russia, extending already her ambition towards Germany, entered into a contest against Frederick, in conjunction with Austria and France, in order to prevent the consolidation of the Prussian power. Some years afterwards, in 1772, she partitioned Poland. In 1778, she advanced a step farther, and participated, equally with France, in the regulation of German affairs, interposing her mediation between Prussia and Austria, who were ready to come to blows about the succes sion of Bavaria, and had the signal honour of guaranteeing the German constitution at Teschen. In short, before the cycle of the century was complete, in I 799, she marched Russians into Italy, not to settle a question of territory, but a moral ques tion - to preserve, she said, the balance of power in Europe, and social order, which was menaced by the French Revolution.

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.
