67th Bulletin of the Grand Army.
General St. Cyr is advancing by forced marches towards Naples, to punish the treason of the Queen and to precipitate from the throne this culpable woman, who has violated in so shameless a manner, all that is held sacred among men. It was endeavoured to intercede for her with the Emperor, he replied, Were hostilities to recommence, and the nation to support a thirty years war, so atrocious an act of perfidy could not be pardoned. The Queen of Naples has ceased to reign. This last crime has completed her destiny: let her go to London to increase the number of intriguers, and form a subcommittee with Drake, Spencer, Smith, Taylor, and Wickham, she may also invite, if she pleases, Baron D'Armfeldt, M. Fersen, D. Antraigues, and the Monk Mours.
