The Daily Dispatch: February 9, 1865., [Electronic resource], article 6 (search)
When Napoleon, at twenty-six years of age, took command of the Army of Italy, that army consisted of four effective divisions, under the command of Generals Massena, Augureau, Laharpe and Serrurier, each mustering about seven thousand men. The cavalry only numbered about three thousand more, and was in the most miserable plight imaginable. The draught horses had perished for want, and nothing remained for the transport of artillery but about two hundred mules. The supply of bread was scy upwards of eighty thousand of the enemy, consisting of about sixty thousand Austrians, commanded by the famous veteran, Borleau, and twenty thousand Sardinians, under Colle, besides eight or ten thousand Neapolitans. On reviewing the troops, Napoleon thus addressed them: "Soldiers, you are naked and hungry; the Republic owes you much; but she has not the means of paying her debts. The constancy and courage you have shown in the midst of these rocks are admirable; but they win you no glory.
