[Footnote 281:  “Corresp.,” December 20th, 1812.  For the so-called Concordat of 1813, concluded with the captive Pius VII. at Fontainebleau, see “Corresp.” of January 25th, 1813.  The Pope repudiated it at the first opportunity.  Napoleon wanted him to settle at Avignon as a docile subject of the Empire.]

[Footnote 282:  Mollien, vol. iii., ad fin. For his vague offers to mitigate the harsh terms of Tilsit for Prussia, and to grant her a political existence if she would fight for him, see Hardenberg, “Mems.,” vol. iv., p. 350.]

[Footnote 283:  Walpole reports (December 19th and 22nd, 1812) Metternich’s envy of the Russian successes and of their occupation of the left bank of the Danube.  Walpole said he believed Alexander would grant Austria a set-off against this; but Metternich seemed entirely Bonapartist ("F.O.,” Russia, No. 84).  See too the full account, based on documentary evidence, in Luckwaldt’s “Oesterreich und die Anfange des Befreiungskrieges” (Berlin, 1898).]

[Footnote 284:  Hardenberg, “Mems.,” vol. iv., p. 366.]

[Footnote 285:  Oncken, “Oesterreich und Preussen,” vol. ii.; Garden, vol. xiv., p. 167; Seeley’s “Stein,” vol. ii., ch. iii.]

[Footnote 286:  Arndt, “Wanderungen”; Steffens, “Was ich erlebte.”]

[Footnote 287:  At this time she had only 61,500 men ready for the fighting line; but she had 28,000 in garrison and 32,000 in Pomerania and Prussia (Proper), according to Scharnhorst’s report contained in “F.O.,” Russia, No. 85.]
