than at the usurpation of one man ("Mems.," vol. v., p. 239).] [Footnote 306: See Aulard, "Rev. Francaise," p. 772, for the opposition.] [Footnote 307: Roederer, "OEuvres," vol. iii., p. 513.] [Footnote 308: Macdonald, "Souvenirs," ch. xii.; Segur, "Mems.," ch. vii. When Thiebault congratulated Massena on his new title, the veteran scoffingly replied: "Oh, there are fourteen of us." (Thiebault, "Mems.," ch. vii., Eng. edit.) See too Marmont ("Mems.," vol. ii., p. 227) on his own exclusion and the inclusion of Bessieres.] [Footnote 309: Chaptal, "Souvenirs," p. 262. For Moreau's popularity see Madelin's "Fouche," vol. i., p. 422.] [Footnote 310: At the next public audience Napoleon upbraided one of the judges, Lecourbe, who had maintained that Moreau was innocent, and thereafter deprived him of his judgeship. He also disgraced his brother, General Lecourbe, and forbade his coming within forty leagues of Paris. ("Lettres inedites de Napoleon," August 22nd and 29th, 1805.)] [Footnote 311: Miot de Melito, vol ii., ch. i.] [Footnote 312: Napoleon to Roederer, "OEuvres," vol. iii., p. 514.] [Footnote 313: Lafayette, "Mems.," vol. v., p. 182.] [Footnote 314: "Memoires de Savary, Duc de Rovigo." So Bourrienne, who was informed by Rapp, who was present (vol. ii., ch. xxxiii.). The "Moniteur" (4th Frimaire, Year XIII.) asserted that the Pope took the right-hand seat; but I distrust its version.] [Footnote 315: Mme. de Remusat, vol. i., ch. x. As the _cure_ of the parish was not present, even as witness, this new contract was held by the Bonapartes to lack full validity. It is certain, however, that Fesch always maintained that the marriage could only be annulled by an act of arbitrary authority. For Napoleon's refusal to receive the communion on the morning of the coronation, lest he, being what he was, should be guilty of sacrilege and hypocrisy, see Segur.] [Footnote 316: Segur, ch. xi.] [Footnote 317: F. Masson's "Josephine, Imperatrice et Reine," p. 229. For the Pitt diamond, see Yule's pamphlet and Sir M. Grant Duff's "Diary," June 30, 1888.] [Footnote 318: De Bausset, "Court de Napoleon," ch. ii.] [Footnote 319: "Foreign Office Records," Intelligences, No. 426.] [Footnote 320: "Life of Fulton," by Colden(1817); also one by Reigart (1856).] [Footnote 321: Jurien de la Graviere, "Guerres Maritimes," vol. ii., p. 75; Chevalier, "Hist. de la Marine Francaise," p. 105; Capt.
