Narrative Of The Campaign In Russia

Excerpt from A Narrative of the Campaign in Russia, During the Year 1812 And during the whole period the face of Europe never ceased being deluged with blood. Austria, 'who had neglected the past favourable moment to defend herb rights, was at last aroused; and be came involved, and alone too, in a desperate and unsuccessful contest with Napoleon. Spain burst forth against the tyrant, with the spirit of her an cestors. And England (however those at times in power may have committed political err01s) con tinued, in principle, true to the grand cause by feeding the flame in the peninsula; and thus kept tip that fire with which the far-spreading torch of the North now lights the rest of Europe to Eman cipation and Peace. The negative kind of amity, a body without a soul, which the Treaty of Tilsit established be tween the Empires of Russia and France, (and which endured little more than four years) gave time and occasion to Alexander to be fully aware of the ultimate views of his Gallic friend who lost not an opportunity of endeavouring by every species of intrigue to pave the'way for an easy conquest over the arms and allegiance of the sub jects'ot' his august and honourable ally.
