Note 259 — Chapter LXVI
Reading edition
"The Empress expressed great joy at the event, because, she said, it would secure her countrymen, whom she suspected of wavering. She ordered Te Deum to be sung at Notre Dame, whither she herself repaired in state. She was attended by the whole court, and the troops of the guard, and the public, received her with expressions of the most ardent enthusiasm."—Savary, tom. iii., p. 67.
