These arrangements having been made, the prince-royal had then given advice to the Emperor Alexander which was as service- able to him as injurious to us, and was expressed in terms of the most bitter enmity. Napoleon, he said, was not the pro- found military genius he was generally supposed, but was merely an impetuous leader who knew how to advance but not how to retreat, and might readily be vanquislied by persever- ance. After the Russians had lost one, two, or three battles, he continued, ...they would begin to fight drawn battles, and from doubtful engagements would proceed to victories. Whilst Alexander was entering into these arrangements with Sweden, he had concluded peace with the Porte, on terms somewhat different from those which he had originally flattered himself that he would be able to obtain. After having successively desisted from his demands for Wallachia, for Mol- davia as far as the Sereth, and fiivally, for Moldavia altogether, he had finally persisted only in claiming i3essarabia, for the purpose of accjuiring at least the mouths of the Danube, and on the alliance of the 'I'urks.
