The Memoirs of Hardenberg, the Prussian minister, which have since been published, prove that these accusations were not entirely the dreams of the demagogues; and that in order to promote peace the two courts did all in their power to adopt the same tone with each other.
"Well, then," said Hardenberg, bending over her, and fixing his piercing eyes upon her countenance, "my question is this: How much do your protectors give you for playing the part which you performed before me?" A pause ensued. Suddenly the clairvoyante opened her eyes, gazing with an indescribable expression on the face of the minister still bending over her.
This alliance of your cabinet is something unheard of in history; it cannot be the work of the statesmen of your nation; it is, in short, the alliance of the dogs and shepherds with the wolf against the sheep. Such were the tidings which Archduke Anthony had brought with him from Vienna; such was the new ally Hardenberg had won for his policy and for Prussia.
A tradition of the early settlement of Auburn, New York, relates that while Captain Hardenberg, the stout young miller, was busy with his sacks of grain in his little log-mill, he was unexpectedly assaulted and overwhelmed with the arrows not of the savages but of love.
"Ah, lips as glowing as yours are, should kiss only beautiful girls," said Hardenberg, smiling. "Do not allude to these trifles," said Hardenberg, carelessly. "Tell me, rather, do you regard me with respect and love?" "Indescribably, your excellency; with the tenderness of a son, with the devotedness and fidelity of an old servant." "Will you give me a proof of it?"
Hardenberg gazed upon him for a moment with an expression of profound sympathy; he then looked around the room with searching glances, which seemed to pierce every niche, every fold of the curtains, and every piece of furniture and sculpture.

"Hardenberg looks him over. "'An' wot might be your weight? says he. 'I don't figure on hurtin' of you, if so be you're below my class.
Let us, then, speak of politics. You said, a few minutes ago, Prussia had been insulted by France?" "Yes, your majesty, Prussia has been insulted. Her most sacred right, her neutrality, has been violated," replied Hardenberg.
Conformably to this convention, the Prussian troops have already left the positions assigned them by Marshal Macdonald, and returned to Prussian territory." "It is true; there can be no doubt of it," said Hardenberg, with a deep sigh, and handing back to the marshal the papers which he had rapidly glanced over.
Conrad obeyed, but he left the door ajar, and remained close to it, ready to reenter the cabinet at the first word of his beloved master. "Now we are alone. Speak!" said Hardenberg. "Your excellency," whispered the soldier, advancing several steps, "the valet de chambre of Count St. Marsan that is to say, my brother has sent me to you.
