Geschrieben in Troyes<\/em>[a]<\/u><\/a> den 8ten<\/sup> Februar 1814<\/em>.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auch diese Position hat Napoleon nicht gehalten, \u2013 die doch wegen denen Anh\u00f6chen[2]<\/a> die vor Troyes<\/em>[3]<\/a> sind, bis Paris eine der vorz\u00fcglichsten f\u00fcr ihm zu seyn scheinte. – – Seine Armee ist so unendlich zusammen geschmolzen da\u00df er uns bis Paris unm\u00f6glich mehr aufhalten kann \u2013 \u2013 auch da, obwohl er uns ziemlich gro\u00dfe Volksmassen<\/em>1<\/sup> entgegen=stellen wird, bin ich von seinen Untergange sicher. \u2014 den[4]<\/a> solche Menschen, die Geschwind zu der h\u00f6chsten H\u00f6he steigen, k\u00f6nnen unm\u00f6glich nicht bis in den tiefsten Abgrund fallen. Der Congress geht noch immer in seinen[5]<\/a> Gang fort, – in Chatillon sitzen diese Herrn beysammen,[b]<\/a> die ganz gewi\u00df den Frieden nicht zusammen schmieden k\u00f6nnen; und desto besser f\u00fcr uns, den4<\/sup> bey den Leben Napoleon\u2018s ist doch auf keinen dauerhaften Frieden zu denken. \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In der letzten Affaire[c]<\/a> tat Napoleon gegen den General Sacken<\/em>1<\/sup>[d]<\/a> seine Garden selbst angef\u00fchrt, und hat nicht einen Schritt gewinnen k\u00f6nnen hinl\u00e4nglicher Beweis also, da\u00df auch diese Menschen nicht mehr mit ganzen Herzen an ihm hengen, die einzigen, von denen man es vermuthen h\u00e4tte<\/em>1<\/sup> k\u00f6nnen. \u00dcberhaupt fand ich, da\u00df sich die Franzosen bey der letzten Affaire bey weiten nicht so gut geschlagen haben, wie gew\u00f6hnlich \u2013 den4<\/sup> ich sah sie zum erstenmal laufen. \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ich glaube da\u00df wir morgen noch hier bleiben werden; was mich ganz ungemein freut, den4<\/sup> das Wetter ist horrend schlecht, und seit einigen T\u00e4gen bin ich nicht recht wohl, und bin gl\u00fccklich sie in der gr\u00f6\u00dften Ruhe zubringen zu k\u00f6nnen. \u2013 Wenn ich morgen etwa nicht wechgeschickt[6]<\/a> werden sollte, so werde ich Euer Gnaden von meinen Befinden wieder Nachricht geben: ich hoffe es wird gut. Indessen bitte ich um den Segen meiner lieben guten Eltern. \u2013 Steph<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[a]<\/a> A town on the Seine in northeastern France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[b]<\/a> Under the agreement of 11 January 1814 between French Foreign Minister Armand de Caulaincourt (1773\u20131827) and Austrian Foreign Minister Metternich, peace negotiations began in Chatillon, but both sides only sought to buy time. Demands other than the Frankfurt peace points, such as the Russian Tsar\u2019s demand for Napoleon\u2019s abdication and for the restoration of the Franco-German borders of 1792 caused controversy even among the Allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[c]<\/a> Sz\u00e9chenyi\u2019s comment refers to the battle of La Rothi\u00e8re of 1 February 1814, in which Napoleon himself led the remnants of his new guard into battle but was forced to retreat. The remark is biased and superficial, since the French had defeated Bl\u00fccher severely at Brianne only a few days earlier and had beaten him five more times before the fall of Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[d]<\/a> Count Dmitry Yerofeyevich Osten-Sacken (1789\u20131881), Russian general, commander of a Russian division in Bl\u00fccher\u2019s Silesian corps in the 1813\u201314 campaign, with the rank of infantry general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He informs his father about the developments of the war: Napoleon’s army has shrunk so much that it will hardly be able to hold off the Allies until Paris, and his fall is certain. The congress at Chatillon was still in progress, but he believed that Napoleon could not expect a lasting peace in any case during his lifetime.
