As had been the case in 1807 it was well on in June before active operations became pos- sible. Napoleon and Maria Louisa made a short stay at Dresden, capital of their ally, the King of Saxony ; there they met the Emperor and Empress of Austria, with many of the Princes of Germany. Thence the Emperor proceeded to join his army whose columns THE AUSTRIAN MARRIAGE 179 were already converging on the Niemen. The French army crossed that river, nearly one thou- sand miles from the frontiers of Fran...ce, on the 24th of June 181 2. Napoleon hoped to be opposed, to crush the Russian generals with his superior numbers, and to conclude a prompt peace without advancing far ; but in all this he was disappointed. The advance of the French was opposed only by Cossacks or light cavalry, the Russians showed no sign of effective resist- ance. On the 28th Napoleon reached Wilna, and so disinclined was he to plunge further into the half-desert country beyond that he stayed there three weeks hoping for some arrange- ment.
