The old captain was not at all angry, and said that after all he was not very far wrong. The secretary of General Andreossy, Governor of Vienna, had an unfortunate passion for gambling; and finding that he did not gain enough to pay his debts, sold himself to the enemy.
Andreossy naturally believes me to be an enthusiastic admirer of his emperor, and therefore he imparted to me his fears and conjectures. The point in question is a widespread conspiracy, which is said to exist in the French army and have assistants among the Austrians." "And you? Do you believe in this conspiracy?" "I am on the track and perhaps shall soon be able to give the particulars.
In her profound indignation the princess hastened to General Andreossy, his Majesty's Governor of Vienna, showed him this letter, and demanded vengeance.

In 1796 he served in Italy, as a captain, under General Andreossy, by whom he was recommended to General l'Espinasse, then commander of the artillery of the army of Italy, who made him an aide-de-camp.

Preparations were made to defend the walls of the old town, behind which the Archduke Maximilian was entrenched, with from 15,000 to 18,000 regular troops. Napoleon took up his abode at Schoenbrunn, in the palace abandoned by the Emperor Francis; and after appointing as governor of Vienna, General Andreossy, recently his ambassador in Austria, waited calmly for the result of the bombardment.
