Armiice

Armiflice concluded at Steyer, the 25th of December, 1800.

Army of the Rhine.—The General of Divifion, Chief of the Staff, to the Minifter of War.

Head-quarters at Steyer, Dec. 26, 9th Year of the French Republic, one and indivifible.

Citizen minifter,

THE

HE archduke Charles has propofed an armiftice to the general-in-chief, by announcing to him that the emperor had fent a courier. to M. de Cobentzel with orders to fign a peace.

The general-in-chief, confidering that the line of the Traun and the Inn was forced, that we were advanced one hundred leagues before the other armies, and were already near the rear-guard of the Auftrian army in Italy; that, confequently, M. de Bellegarde could avail himfelf of the poffeffion of Saltzburg and Infpruck, as the two grand openings by which he could fend troops to join thofe that were left in the Tyrol, and by attacking our rear with thefe, might cut off our communication with the Traun; for thefe reafons he thought proper to agree to a fufpenfion of arms, which procuring great advantages for us, would put us in a condition to learn the movements of the army of Italy, of which we had as yet heard no

account..

The character of the archduke Charles, and his well-known leyalty, gave us fufficient allurances of the emperor's defire to put an end to the war. He was alfo impelled to it by the deplorable condition of his army, which having in the courfe

VOL. XLII

of twenty days loft feventy leagues. of territory, twenty-five thousand prifoners, twelve or fifteen thoufand in killed or wounded, one hundred and forty pieces of cannon, and immenfe magazines, was no longer able, nor could it be able in three months, to hinder our army from conquering all Auftria, and dictating laws in the capital. But, in order to effect this without danger, it would have been neceffary for the army of Italy to be already in poffeflion of the defiles of Carinthia.

Befides, the general-in-chief was of opinion, that to ftop in the most brilliant victories was conformable to the character of moderation by which the first conful manifefts himfelf to Europe.

I have the honour to prefent you with a copy of the convention of the armiftice. The emperor immediately entered into a treaty; and our line running along the Danube to the mountains of the Tyrol, putting us in poffeffion of Kufstein, Scharnitz, Braunau, &c. will enable us to recommence the war with great advantages, and, above all, with great fecurity. Health and respect.
