Napoleon to Cambacérès, Arch-Chancellor of the Empire, on 18 June 1813:

“The Minister of Police [Savary], in his Police notes, with which I am generally very satisfied...seems to be trying to make me peaceful. This can’t have any results; it hurts me because it would imply that I’m not peaceful. I want peace, but not a peace that 3 months later would put us back in arms, or that would be dishonorable. Make him understand how inappropriate this way of dealing with this subject is. I don’t make war a profession and no one is more peaceful. But the will for peace, the desire for it to be lasting, and the totality of the circumstances in which my Empire finds itself, will alone decide in my deliberations on this matter.”

Original French:

'...le ministre de la Police, dans ses notes de Police, dont je suis en general très satisfait...parait chercher à me rendre pacifique. Cela ne peut avoir aucun resultat; mais cela me blesse parceque cela supposerait que je ne suis pas pacifique, je veux la paix, mais non pas une paix, qui 3 mois après nous remettrait le armes à la main, ou qui serait deshonorante...faites lui comprendre tout ce que cette maniere de traiter ce sujet, a d'inconvenant, je ne fais pas de la guerre un métier et personne n'est plus pacifique; mais la volonté de la paix, le desir qu'elle soit durable et l'ensemble des circonstances où se trouve mon Empire, decideront seuls dans mes déliberations sur cette matiere...'

Context: 1813 is 21 years after the wars began, and there had been several peace deals made and broken since the beginning of the war. Peace offers were used to as means to assess the weakness of the French army, and peace periods were used to regroup and reorganize the war effort against France.

Here’s Hortense contrasting Savary as Minister of Police with Fouché; apparently Savary was a piece of work in his own right.

The police system directed by the Duc de Rovigo also did a great deal of harm to the court ladies. His predecessor Fouché only harmed the Emperor when he obliged the latter to exile certain persons of the Faubourg Saint-Germain from Paris. Whenever a complaint was made to Fouché he would pretend to know nothing about it, blaming it on the Emperor’s impetuous temperament, on the fact that there were a hundred other branches of the police department which he could not superintend. In the end he would promise to wait for a favorable moment and have the sentence of banishment lifted. Later, it is true, he would request the Emperor to rescind the order which he had himself asked for, thus giving himself all the credit and letting his master take all the blame. He thus made followers for himself, but he never bothered about drawing-room gossip or petty social intrigues.

The Duc de Rovigo, on the other hand, seemed to do nothing else than collect the slightest bits of information about everyone’s private life. He acted as his own detective, wished to be the confidant of the ladies, stirred up quarrels between them, told stories which might or might not be true, spent all his morning making visits from one to another. If, in the Bois de Boulogne, a woman surrounded by her children and her friends happened to be speaking to a man and caught sight of the Duc de Rovigo she felt her reputation was lost. All our ladies did their best to avoid him.

The flight of the Flamingo

An African childhood film Lake Hannington in Kenya hosts one of the highest concentrations of flamingoes in the world. Now a National Park, in 1969, it was totally wild. We set off early that day from Nairobi. To the north via Nakuru, another, better-known flamingo lake, following our friends the Savary, in their rugged Land-rover. On the left, my father, Cyril (a Christian name no doubt…

Excerpt:

This idea was the one which most excited the Emperor’s anger. It made him furious with his brother-in-law, whom he supposed to be in league with Fouché, and who, however, had had no sort of communication with him. Was it true that Murat had been thought of? Was it true that Fouché and Talleyrand had conceived the plan of making him an instrument of their designs, only to destroy him afterwards? Or are we to believe that the King’s enemies had calumniously involved his name in this affair, in order to ruin him entirely in the Emperor’s mind? That is what I do not know.
