Rapp and Savary, the aides-de-camp of Desaix, remained plunged in the most despairing grief beside the body of their chief, whom they called their father, rather to express his unfailing kindness to them than the dignity of his character. Out of respect to the memory of his friend, the general-in-chief, although his staff was full, added these two young officers in the quality of aides-de-camp.
"Why, of course," she answered kindly, almost gently; the compliment was so real, he could not be all bad. "Then say my name, and ask me," he said. "Monsieur " "Leave out the monsieur," he interrupted. "Yves Savary dit Detricand, will you promise me, Guida Landresse " "De Landresse," he interposed courteously.
Prussia herself, though she could not pardon the injuries he had inflicted upon her, joined his alliance, but with the intention of breaking it on the first opportunity. When the war with Russia was first spoken of Savary and I had frequent conversations on the subject. I communicated to him all the intelligence I received from abroad respecting that vast enterprise.
He declared he would throw himself into the middle of France and fight to the end, or that he would take ship at Rochefort with Bertrand and Savary alone, and steal past the English squadron; but when Mme. Bertrand exclaimed that this would be cruel to her, he readily gave up the scheme. It is not easy to gauge his feelings at this time.
We rushed together into the room, but the hardened Savary and the dare-devil hussar both recoiled in horror from the sight which met our gaze. My uncle had been seated writing at his desk, with his back to the door, when his murderer had entered.
Not a syllable escaped him, save once, when he muttered half to himself, "And this was the first battery to open its fire to-morrow!" General Savary stood at his side, but never dared to address him. Too well he knew that his deepest anger showed itself by silence.
In many places the couriers were arrested or killed. The emperor ordered General Savary to set out again for Madrid. Nevertheless, all the forces of the French army were on their march to crush the insurrection. General Verdier and General Frere quickly took satisfaction for the insurrection of Logrono and Segovia.
The impatience of the Emperor Alexander had already carried the general quarters of the allies to Wischau. It was there that General Savary presented himself, intrusted with aimless negotiations, which gave him opportunity to examine the condition of the Austro-Russian army. Prince Dolgorouki, sent from Bruenn with the reply of the Emperor Alexander, was received at the advanced posts.
The pledge was given, and Napoleon then sent General Savary to the head-quarters of Alexander, to inquire if he would ratify the armistice. "I am happy to see you," said the emperor to the envoy. "The occasion has been very glorious for your arms. That day will take nothing from the reputation your master has earned in so many battles. It was my first engagement.
I had observed formerly that Savary did not coincide in the opinion I had always entertained of Fouche, but when once the Due de Rovigo endeavoured to penetrate the labyrinth of police, counter-police, inspections and hierarchies of espionage, he found they were all bugbears which Fouche had created to alarm the Emperor, as gardeners put up scarecrows among the fruit-trees to frighten away the sparrows.
