71 his intention was to re-establish the kingdom of Poland. Ignorant as I was, and from my position should naturally be, of all political matters, I heard no less than others the expression of an opinion which was universal, and which was discussed openly by all. Sometimes the Emperor con- descended to ask me what I heard, and always smiled at my report, since I could not tell the truth and say anything that would have been disagreeable to him ; for he was then, and I do not speak too strongly,... universally adored by the Polish population. On the 23d of June we were on the banks of the Nie- men, that river already become so famous by the interview between the two Emperors, under circumstances very differ- ent from those in which they now found themselves. The passage of the army began in the evening, and lasted for forty-eight hours, during which time the Emperor was almost constantly on horseback, so well he knew that his presence expedited matters. Then we continued our journey to Wilna, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lith- uania, and on the 27th arrived in front of this town, occu- pied by the Russians ; and it may truly be said that there, and there alone, military operations began, for up to thiJ time the Emperor had traveled as he would have done in the departments of the interior of France.
