Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Selection From the Letters and Despatches of the First Napoleon, Vol. 2 of 3: With Explanatory Notes The principal event of this year was undoubtedly the rupture of the treaty of Amiens - a treaty which had been hailed with such delight on both sides of the Channel, but which, thanks to the restless ambition of Bonaparte, was never more than a truce. Immediately after the rupture the "army of England" was reorganised, six large camps were formed along the coasts of France and Holland, and active preparations were made for the invasion of England. It is still a moot point whether Bonaparte ever really intended to cross the Channel, although he had medals struck in commemoration of the conquest of Great Britain, and had caused a report to be made of the treasures he would be likely to find in Oxford, which ancient seat of learning was to be pillaged as the chief towns of Italy had been pillaged. In making this grand display, he flattered the feeling of antipathy of the French nation against England, who was accused of having broken the treaty; he was furnished with an excuse for asking for more conscripts and for maintaining an enormous army which kept England in a fever of apprehension, and drained her resources.
