At Berlin, in consequence of the neighbourhood of the French troops in Hanover, the commiseration for the death of the Due d'Enghien was also confined to the King's cabinet, and more particularly to the salons of the Queen of Prussia; but it is certain that that transaction almost everywhere changed the disposition of sovereigns towards the First Consul, and that if it did not cause, it at least hastened the success of the negotiations which England was secretly carrying on with Austria and Prussia.
Harrel is told to dig a trench before the sentence. Thus it was known that they had come to kill the Duc d'Enghien. How can this be answered? Can it possibly be supposed that anyone, whoever it was, would have dared to give each an order in anticipation if the order had not been the carrying out of a formal command of Bonaparte? That is incredible.
What proves how good a judge of painting he was is that these pictures were splendid Wouvermans. But it needed a very fine feeling to detect their merit under the grime that covered them. The Duke de Berri also had a passion for music. I was at the play in London when the murder of the Duke d'Enghien was announced.
I feel a conviction that it would have been very possible for me to have dissuaded Bonaparte from his fatal design, inasmuch as I positively know that his object, after the termination of the peace, was merely to frighten the emigrants, in order to drive them from Ettenheim, where great numbers, like the Due d'Enghien, had sought refuge.

This detail is alone sufficient to show that Pierrotin and his competitor were, as the popular saying is, "good dough." The hotel at which they put up in Paris, at the corner of the rue d'Enghien, is still there, and is called the "Lion d'Argent."
Helena Comparison of dates Possibility of my having saved the Due d'Enghien's life Advice given to the Duc d'Enghien Sir Charles Stuart Delay of the Austrian Cabinet Pichegru and the mysterious being M. Massias The historians of St. Helena Bonaparte's threats against the emigrants and M. Cobentzel Singular adventure of Davoust's secretary The quartermaster The brigand of La Vendee.
I also went, and I thought it all, for a sportive, wanton thing, quite painfully ugly. Auberon. Uglier than that ridiculous black room, with the invisible people groping about in it, of your precious "Duc d'Enghien?" Dorriforth. The black room is doubtless not the last word of art, but it struck me as a successful application of a happy idea.
After some remarks on the intrigues of the emigrants Bonaparte observed, "You ought at least to have prevented the plots which the Due d'Enghien was hatching at Ettenheim." "Sire, I am too old to learn to tell a falsehood. Believe me, on this subject your Majesty's ear has been abused."
The imprudence of Madame de Montbazon and her lover Beaufort in the affair of the dropped letters had the effect of increasing Mazarin's power incalculably, and that at the very moment that a splendid victory gained by the young Duke d'Enghien had made him and his sister paramount at Court paramount by a popularity so universal that it almost made the Queen and her minister their protégés rather than their patrons.
