I
do
not
,
and
did
not
,
desire
war
,
"
he
continued
,
"
but
it
has
been
forced
on
me
.
Even
now
"
(
he
emphasized
the
word
)
"
I
am
ready
to
receive
any
explanations
you
can
give
me
.
"
And
he
began
clearly
and
concisely
to
explain
his
reasons
for
dissatisfaction
with
the
Russian
government
.
Judging
by
the
calmly
moderate
and
amicable
tone
in
which
the
French
Emperor
spoke
,
Balashëv
was
firmly
persuaded
that
he
wished
for
peace
and
intended
to
enter
into
negotiations
.
When
Napoleon
,
having
finished
speaking
,
looked
inquiringly
at
the
Russian
envoy
,
Balashëv
began
a
speech
he
had
prepared
long
before
:
"
Sire
!
The
Emperor
,
my
master
...
"
but
the
sight
of
the
Emperor
's
eyes
bent
on
him
confused
him
.
"
You
are
flurried
--
compose
yourself
!
"
Napoleon
seemed
to
say
,
as
with
a
scarcely
perceptible
smile
he
looked
at
Balashëv
's
uniform
and
sword
.
Balashëv
recovered
himself
and
began
to
speak
.
He
said
that
the
Emperor
Alexander
did
not
consider
Kurákin
's
demand
for
his
passports
a
sufficient
cause
for
war
;
that
Kurákin
had
acted
on
his
own
initiative
and
without
his
sovereign
's
assent
,
that
the
Emperor
Alexander
did
not
desire
war
,
and
had
no
relations
with
England
.
"
Not
yet
!
"
interposed
Napoleon
,
and
,
as
if
fearing
to
give
vent
to
his
feelings
,
he
frowned
and
nodded
slightly
as
a
sign
that
Balashëv
might
proceed
.
After
saying
all
he
had
been
instructed
to
say
,
Balashëv
added
that
the
Emperor
Alexander
wished
for
peace
,
but
would
not
enter
into
negotiations
except
on
condition
that
...
Here
Balashëv
hesitated
:
he
remembered
the
words
the
Emperor
Alexander
had
not
written
in
his
letter
,
but
had
specially
inserted
in
the
rescript
to
Saltykóv
and
had
told
Balashëv
to
repeat
to
Napoleon
.
Balashëv
remembered
these
words
,
"
So
long
as
a
single
armed
foe
remains
on
Russian
soil
,
"
but
some
complex
feeling
restrained
him
.
He
could
not
utter
them
,
though
he
wished
to
do
so
.
He
grew
confused
and
said
:
"
On
condition
that
the
French
army
retires
beyond
the
Niemen
.
"
Napoleon
noticed
Balashëv
's
embarrassment
when
uttering
these
last
words
;
his
face
twitched
and
the
calf
of
his
left
leg
began
to
quiver
rhythmically
.
Without
moving
from
where
he
stood
he
began
speaking
in
a
louder
tone
and
more
hurriedly
than
before
.
During
the
speech
that
followed
,
Balashëv
,
who
more
than
once
lowered
his
eyes
,
involuntarily
noticed
the
quivering
of
Napoleon
's
left
leg
which
increased
the
more
Napoleon
raised
his
voice
.
"
I
desire
peace
,
no
less
than
the
Emperor
Alexander
,
"
he
began
.
"
Have
I
not
for
eighteen
months
been
doing
everything
to
obtain
it
?
I
have
waited
eighteen
months
for
explanations
.
But
in
order
to
begin
negotiations
,
what
is
demanded
of
me
?
"
he
said
,
frowning
and
making
an
energetic
gesture
of
inquiry
with
his
small
white
plump
hand
.
"
The
withdrawal
of
your
army
beyond
the
Niemen
,
sire
,
"
replied
Balashëv
.
