BUONAPARTE—GENERAL IN CHIEF.
Head-Quarters, at Passeriano,
25th Fructidor.
SOLDIERS,
We will celebrate the 1st Vendemaire, the epoch most dear to the French: it will be a day most celebrated in the annals of the world.
It is from this day that the foundation of the Republic, the organization of a great nation, the call of a great nation to astonish and console the world by its destinies, is dated.
Soldiers—separated from your country and triumphant over Europe, they were preparing chains for you; you knew it—you have spoken; the people awaked and marked out the traitors, and already they were in irons.
You will hear, by the Proclamation of the Executive Directory what the private enemies of the soldiery, and particularly of the divisions of the army of Italy, were conspiring. That preference does us honor—the hatred of Traitors, Tyrants and Slaves will be in history our best title to glory and immortality.
We return thanks to the courage of the First Magistrates of the Republic, to the armies of the Sambre and Meuse and of the Interior, to the patriots, to the representatives who have remained faithful to the destiny of France;—they have done by one blow what we have been doing for the country these six years.
BUONAPARTE.
