Some
forty
Uhlans
were
drowned
in
the
river
,
though
boats
were
sent
to
their
assistance
.
The
majority
struggled
back
to
the
bank
from
which
they
had
started
.
The
colonel
and
some
of
his
men
got
across
and
with
difficulty
clambered
out
on
the
further
bank
And
as
soon
as
they
had
got
out
,
in
their
soaked
and
streaming
clothes
,
they
shouted
"
Vivat
!
"
and
looked
ecstatically
at
the
spot
where
Napoleon
had
been
but
where
he
no
longer
was
and
at
that
moment
considered
themselves
happy
.
That
evening
,
between
issuing
one
order
that
the
forged
Russian
paper
money
prepared
for
use
in
Russia
should
be
delivered
as
quickly
as
possible
and
another
that
a
Saxon
should
be
shot
,
on
whom
a
letter
containing
information
about
the
orders
to
the
French
army
had
been
found
,
Napoleon
also
gave
instructions
that
the
Polish
colonel
who
had
needlessly
plunged
into
the
river
should
be
enrolled
in
the
Légion
d'honneur
of
which
Napoleon
was
himself
the
head
.
Quos
vult
perdere
dementat

Those
whom
(
God
)
wishes
to
destroy
he
drives
mad
.
The
Emperor
of
Russia
had
,
meanwhile
,
been
in
Vílna
for
more
than
a
month
,
reviewing
troops
and
holding
maneuvers
.
Nothing
was
ready
for
the
war
that
everyone
expected
and
to
prepare
for
which
the
Emperor
had
come
from
Petersburg
.
There
was
no
general
plan
of
action
.
The
vacillation
between
the
various
plans
that
were
proposed
had
even
increased
after
the
Emperor
had
been
at
headquarters
for
a
month
.
Each
of
the
three
armies
had
its
own
commander
in
chief
,
but
there
was
no
supreme
commander
of
all
the
forces
,
and
the
Emperor
did
not
assume
that
responsibility
himself
.
The
longer
the
Emperor
remained
in
Vílna
the
less
did
everybody
--
tired
of
waiting
--
prepare
for
the
war
.
All
the
efforts
of
those
who
surrounded
the
sovereign
seemed
directed
merely
to
making
him
spend
his
time
pleasantly
and
forget
that
war
was
impending
.
In
June
,
after
many
balls
and
fetes
given
by
the
Polish
magnates
,
by
the
courtiers
,
and
by
the
Emperor
himself
,
it
occurred
to
one
of
the
Polish
aides-de-camp
in
attendance
that
a
dinner
and
ball
should
be
given
for
the
Emperor
by
his
aides-de-camp
.
This
idea
was
eagerly
received
.
The
Emperor
gave
his
consent
.
The
aides-de-camp
collected
money
by
subscription
.
The
lady
who
was
thought
to
be
most
pleasing
to
the
Emperor
was
invited
to
act
as
hostess
.
Count
Bennigsen
,
being
a
landowner
in
the
Vílna
province
,
offered
his
country
house
for
the
fete
,
and
the
thirteenth
of
June
was
fixed
for
a
ball
,
dinner
,
regatta
,
and
fireworks
at
Zakret
,
Count
Bennigsen
's
country
seat
.
The
very
day
that
Napoleon
issued
the
order
to
cross
the
Niemen
,
and
his
vanguard
,
driving
off
the
Cossacks
,
crossed
the
Russian
frontier
,
Alexander
spent
the
evening
at
the
entertainment
given
by
his
aides-de-camp
at
Bennigsen
's
country
house
.
It
was
a
gay
and
brilliant
fete
.
Connoisseurs
of
such
matters
declared
that
rarely
had
so
many
beautiful
women
been
assembled
in
one
place
.
Countess
Bezúkhova
was
present
among
other
Russian
ladies
who
had
followed
the
sovereign
from
Petersburg
to
Vílna
and
eclipsed
the
refined
Polish
ladies
by
her
massive
,
so-called
Russian
type
of
beauty
.
The
Emperor
noticed
her
and
honored
her
with
a
dance
.
