SUPERB LETTER ON THE BATTLE OF AUSTERLITZ (December 2, 1805). "You write to me, my dear State Councillor, the prettiest and most flattering things of the world: it is impossible to give to the congratulations and the praise a more pleasant turn: but do you not fear to appear too ambitious to us by envying us THE GLORY OF BEATING THE ENEMIES OF FRANCE? Have you not acquired enough fame in the gallery and in the administration of the internal affairs of the State? Be satisfied with such a beautiful sharing, your fate would make too many jealous if you were to obtain from your sword as much reputation as you owe to your pen. Receive, Mr. State Councillor, the assurance of my high consideration, and the expression of my attachment. THE PRINCE GRAND-ADMIRAL OF THE EMPIRE, LIEUTENANT OF THE EMPEROR, MURAT "
