Note 457 — SECTION VII: CHAPTER IV

There were only sixteen field-guns with the army, yet Napoleon says that he took twenty-five (Nap. Corresp., 14,478). If this figure is correct (which we may doubt) there must have been some guns of position taken in the city of Burgos. But of the twelve flags there is no question: they were forwarded to Paris two days later (Nap. Corresp., 14,463).
