JET. 37] A DIARY 253 The Grand Duke of Berg holds Warsaw with 100,000 men. 2d. (To the Grand Duke of Berg.) The Poles who show so much prudence, who ask for so many conditions before declaring themselves, are egotists who cannot be kindled to enthusiasm for love of their country. I am old in my knowledge of men. My greatness does not depend on the help of a few thousand Poles. It is for them to take advantage of the present circumstances with enthusiasm; it is not for me to take the first step. I know Poniatowski better than you do, because I have followed Polish affairs these last ten years. He is even more flighty than the average Pole, which is saying a good deal. He is not much trusted at Warsaw. All the same he is a man with whom to keep on good terms. As for what he has said about making Czartorivski king, that is merely to give himself importance. Russia, let me assure you, has never dreamed of giving up Poland. For the rest I approve your measures. Put patriots in office, men who are willing to act, and do not dwell on the mathematical calculation of the reestablishment of Poland. Have it clearly understood that I have not come to beg for a throne for one of my own people; I have plenty of thrones to distribute among my family. (Decree.) Every year on the anniversaries of the battles, of Austerlitz and of Jena there shall be held a concert, preceded by a speech on the qualities necessary to a soldier, and by a eulogy of those who died. A competition shall be held to determine the best ode and the best and most fitting composition. In the speeches and in the ode it is expressly forbidden to mention the Emperor. to such a condition that is one third more than ever I had*sten, press home the c}\par \pard \plain \cbpat8\ql\li221\fi0\ri0\sb0\sa0\sl-259\slmult0 \f2\fs20{\b0\i0\cf1\charscalex100\expndtw8\f2\cchs0\lang1033\fs21 3d, \i 3 \scaps p. m.:}\par \pard \plain \cbpat8\qj\li0\fi214\ri0\sb0\sa0\sl-259\slmult0 \f2\fs20{\b0\i0\cf1\charscalex100\expndtw-2\f2\cchs0\lang1033\fs22 You have shared my < \expndtw2 memory, you will do not}\par \pard \plain \cbpat8\ql\li204\fi0\ri0\sb0\sa0\sl-259\slmult0 \f2\fs20{\b0\i0\cf1\charscalex100\expndtw12\f2\cchs0\lang1033\fs21 5th. \i 5.30 \scaps p.m.:}\par \pard \plain \cbpat8\ql\li204\fi0\ri0\sb2\sa0\sl-259\slmult0 \f2\fs20{\b0\i0\cf1\charscalex100\expndtw15\f2\cchs0\lang1033\fs23 . , . head . . . army}\par \pard \plain \cbpat8\ql\li192\fi0\ri0\sb65\sa0 \f2\fs20{\b\i\cf1\charscalex129\expndtw5\f2\cchs0\lang1033\fs15 5.60 P.M.:}\par }\fs21 21st.
