In these latter times, as in th days of our prosperity, you have invariably been models of courage and fidelity. with men such as you our cause could not be lost; but the war would have been interminable: it would have been civil war, and that would have entaile

I have sacrificed all of my interests to those of the country.
I go, but you, my friends, will continue to serve France. Her happiness was my onl) thought. It will still be the obiect of my wishes. Do not regret my fate: if I have consented to survive, it is to serve your glory. I intend to write the history of the great achievements we have performed together. Adieu, my friends
Would I could press you all to my heart.
