The duke of Enghien, last going down from the Cops, had carried the weapons against France with the emigrants, and it did not seem foreign with the conspiracies directed against the first consul.

Bonaparte, pulled by anger, sent a troop dragons to stop the duke in the duchy of Bade, with the castle of Ettenheim, then it made it judge by a military commission, and shoot the same night in the ditches of the castle of Vincennes (Mars 1804).

The execution of the duke of Enghien is one of the acts which one reproached to Napoleon.

Bonaparte dreamed to unload in England, there to attack its enemy body with body and to dictate peace in London to him.

At once after the rupture of the treaty of Amiens, it made build in all the ports, from Brest in Antwerp, a multitude of launches and boats flat; the English made fun initially of these nut shells, but when Bonaparte, with the head of 200 boats, made move back 14 their vessels close to Boulogne (1804), they trembled in their island, and formed a third coalition against France.

Napoleon, raising the camp of Boulogne, transported in twenty days on the Rhine the eight his army corps; then, leaving Augereau in reserve, it went up Mein with Lannes, Murat, Ney, Soult, Davout, Marmont and Bernadotte, turned the Austrian army by admirable operations, and cut it in several sections in Vertingen, in Memmingen and in Elchingen, rejected the principal body on Ulm and de.toutes.parts wrapped it, by keeping the heights; the Mack General, despaired, capitulated with 33 000 soldiers, 60 guns and 40 flags (October 20, 1805); of 100 000 Austrians there remained only runaways, which our cavalry continued; Napoleon had not lost more than 3 000 men.

The battle of Trafalgar made England main absolute of the seas.

The French fleet and the Spanish fleet joined together counted 33 vessels, 5 frigates and 2 brigs; the English admiral Nelson had only 27 vessels, but the majority were stronger than ours, and it could make them give all at the same time, with the place that the French admiral Villeneuve, opposed by the wind, could not put some in line which 23. The victory of the English complete, but was dearly bought: it lost 3 000 men and their admiral; our sailors defended themselves with rage, and 7 000 of them perished mitraillés, drowned, struck down: the crew ofAchilles let itself jump rather than to go (October 20, 1805).
