From Aix-la-Chapelle, Napoleon and Josephine went to Cologne, then to Coblentz, then to Mayence, travelling separately. The Emperor left Cologne September 16 at four in the afternoon, and reached Bonn a little before nightfall, to start again the next morning. The town pleased her very much, and she was sorry she could not remain there longer.
I have not seen you since the day you marched from Coblentz." "No, indeed, major," the other said, saluting as a Prussian officer always does, to his superior in rank the other infantry officers all rising, and saluting in turn. "We have just come in from Hagenau." "Are you in a hurry?" asked the major. "If not, sit down and let us talk."
on his way Cologne and Coblentz, which the emigration had rendered so famous, and arrived at Mayence, where his sojourn was distinguished by the first attempt at negotiation with the Holy See, in order to induce the Pope to come to France to crown the new Emperor, and consolidate his power by supporting it with the sanction of the Church.
"Your outlaws may understand the ways of the forest, but not those of a city." "Well, your Majesty, they have sacked Coblentz, if that is any recommendation for them." The reply of the Empress seemed irrelevant. "Have you ever seen the hall in which the Emperors are nominated or deposed?" she asked. "No, your Majesty." "Then follow me."
On the 1st of January, the enemies, after hesitating for three months before invading France, crossed the Rhine at several points, the two most important of these being firstly at Kaub, a market town situated between Bingen and Coblentz, where a rocky gorge greatly reduces the width of the river, and then at Basle where the Swiss handed over the stone bridge, in violation of their neutrality, a neutrality which they maintain or abandon according to their interests.
"The horrid prints, pamphlets, and caricatures," cried she, "daily exhibited under the very windows of the Tuileries, against His Majesty, the Queen, the Austrian party, and the Coblentz party, the constant thwarting of every plan, and these last horrors at Nantes, have so overwhelmed the King that he is nearly become a mere automaton. Daily and nightly execrations are howled in his ears.
Though Edward crossed to Antwerp in the summer, the year was spent in negotiations with the princes of the Lower Rhine and in an interview with the Emperor at Coblentz, where Lewis appointed him Vicar-General of the Emperor for all territories on the left bank of the Rhine.
The Comte de Provence, as Louis' title then went, left Paris on the 21st of June 1791. He constantly expressed his wish of keeping as near as possible to the frontiers of France. He at first took up his abode at Coblentz, and I knew from good authority that all the emigrants did not regard him with a favourable eye.
He further proposed that the meeting should be held at his own castle of Cochem, as being conveniently situated midway between Coblentz and Treves, but to this the nobles had, with fervent unanimity, objected.
"As to the battle I know nothing about the matter; but for the Prince of Conde he emigrated some time since they say he is at Coblentz." Mr. P, who, according to French custom, had not breakfasted, took a fancy to stop at a baker's shop and buy a roll.
