Sivu 221 - If France is really desirous of maintaining friendship and peace with England she must show herself disposed to renounce her views of aggression and aggrandisement, and to confine herself within her own territory, without insulting other Governments, without disturbing their tranquillity, without violating their rights.
Sivu 172 - is slow beyond all description, and I begin to think that the Emperor is anxious to touch another four millions of English money. As for the German generals, war is their trade, and peace is ruin to them ; therefore we cannot expect that they should have any wish to finish the war.
Sivu 82 - How could we ever be so deceived in the character of the French nation as to think them capable of liberty ! wretches, who, after all their professions and boasts about liberty, and patriotism, and courage, and dying, and after taking oath after oath, at the very moment when their country is invaded and an enemy is marching through it unresisted, employ whole days in murdering women, and priests, and prisoners!
Sivu 221 - England will never consent that France shall arrogate the power of annulling at her pleasure, and under the pretence of a pretended natural right, of which she makes herself the only judge, the political system of Europe, established by solemn treaties and guaranteed by the consent of all the powers.

Sivu 51 - Both these factions," said he, *' march under different banners and by different roads, but they are both marching to the same end ; and that end is the disorganization of the popular government, the ruin of the Convention, and the triumph of tyranny. One of these factions would drag us into weakness, the other would drive us into excess.
Sivu 212 - ... and published in all the territories, countries, and dominions of each party wheresoever, that no one shall in any wise use such commissions or letters of reprisal under the severest punishment that can be inflicted on the transgressors, besides being liable to make full restitution and satisfaction to those to whom they have done any damage; neither shall any letters of reprisal be hereafter granted by either of the said high contracting parties, to the prejudice or detriment of the subjects...
Sivu 289 - I told him that it was very far from his majesty's intention. He then proceeded to count Markoff and the chevalier Azara, who were standing together at a little distance from me, and said to them, ' The English wish for war; but if they are the first to draw the sword, I shall be the last to sheathe it. They have no regard for treaties : we must henceforth cover them with shame.
Sivu 298 - Whitworth, are said to be of the number of persons who are not permitted to return to England. All the other Englishmen are made actual prisoners ; the men being sent to the Temple, or the Conciergerie, and the women to Fontainebleau. If it had been Bonaparte's object to give strength to the British ministry, and to make the war universally popular in England, he could not have devised a better expedient.
Sivu 194 - I assure you,' said the king, ' that I will see you again to-morrow morning, at eight o'clock.' ' You promise ?' said they, all together. 'Yes, I promise.' ' Why not at seven o'clock.'' said the queen.
