The English have not understood and cannot understand the self-abnegation of our Emperor who wants nothing for himself, but only desires the good of mankind.

And what have they promised? Nothing! And what little they have promised they will not perform! Prussia has always declared that Buonaparte is invincible, and that all Europe is powerless before him....

And I don't believe a word that Hardenburg says, or Haugwitz either.

This famous Prussian neutrality is just a trap.
