The high hopes nursed by the Pitt Ministry are seen in the following estimate of the forces that would be launched against France:  Austria, 250,000; Russia, 180,000; Prussia, 100,000 (Pitt then refused to subsidize more than 100,000); Sweden, 16,000; Saxony, 16,000; Hesse and Brunswick, 16,000; Mecklenburg, 3,000; King of Sardinia, 25,000; Bavaria, Wuertemberg, and Baden, 25,000; Naples, 20,000.  In a P.S. he adds that the support of the King of Sardinia would not be needed, and that England had private arrangements with Naples as to subsidies.  This Memoir is not dated, but it must belong to the beginning of September, before the defection of Bavaria was known ("F.O.,” Prussia, No. 70).]

[Footnote 23:  Colonel Graham’s despatches, which undoubtedly influenced the Pitt Ministry in favouring the appointment of Mack to the present command.  Paget ("Papers,” vol. ii., p. 238) states that the Iller position was decided on by Francis.  The best analysis of Mack’s character is in Bernhardi’s “Memoirs of Count Toll” (vol. i., p. 121).  The State Papers are in Burke’s “Campaign of 1805,” App.]

[Footnote 27:  Ruestow, “Der Krieg 1805.”  Hormayr, “Geschichte Hofers” (vol. i., p. 96), states that, in framing with Russia the plan of campaign, the Austrians forgot to allow for the difference (twelve days) between the Russian and Gregorian calendars.  The Russians certainly were eleven days late.]

[Footnote 33:  Thiers, bk. xxii.  During Mack’s interview with Napoleon (see “Paget Papers,” vol. ii., p. 235), when the Emperor asked him why he did not cut his way through to Ansbach, he replied, “Prussia would have declared against us.”  To which the Emperor retorted:  “Ah! the Prussians do not declare so quickly.”]
