Despite
his
seniority
in
rank
Bagratión
,
in
this
contest
of
magnanimity
,
took
his
orders
from
Barclay
,
but
,
having
submitted
,
agreed
with
him
less
than
ever
.
By
the
Emperor
's
orders
Bagratión
reported
direct
to
him
.
He
wrote
to
Arakchéev
,
the
Emperor
's
confidant
:
"
It
must
be
as
my
sovereign
pleases
,
but
I
can
not
work
with
the
Minister
(
meaning
Barclay
)
.
For
God
's
sake
send
me
somewhere
else
if
only
in
command
of
a
regiment
.
I
can
not
stand
it
here
.
Headquarters
are
so
full
of
Germans
that
a
Russian
can
not
exist
and
there
is
no
sense
in
anything
.
I
thought
I
was
really
serving
my
sovereign
and
the
Fatherland
,
but
it
turns
out
that
I
am
serving
Barclay
I
confess
I
do
not
want
to
.
"
The
swarm
of
Bronnítskis
and
Wintzingerodes
and
their
like
still
further
embittered
the
relations
between
the
commanders
in
chief
,
and
even
less
unity
resulted
.
Preparations
were
made
to
fight
the
French
before
Smolénsk
.
A
general
was
sent
to
survey
the
position
.
This
general
,
hating
Barclay
,
rode
to
visit
a
friend
of
his
own
,
a
corps
commander
,
and
,
having
spent
the
day
with
him
,
returned
to
Barclay
and
condemned
,
as
unsuitable
from
every
point
of
view
,
the
battleground
he
had
not
seen
.

While
disputes
and
intrigues
were
going
on
about
the
future
field
of
battle
,
and
while
we
were
looking
for
the
French
--
having
lost
touch
with
them
--
the
French
stumbled
upon
Nevérovski
's
division
and
reached
the
walls
of
Smolénsk
.
It
was
necessary
to
fight
an
unexpected
battle
at
Smolénsk
to
save
our
lines
of
communication
.
The
battle
was
fought
and
thousands
were
killed
on
both
sides
.
Smolénsk
was
abandoned
contrary
to
the
wishes
of
the
Emperor
and
of
the
whole
people
.
But
Smolénsk
was
burned
by
its
own
inhabitants
who
had
been
misled
by
their
governor
.
And
these
ruined
inhabitants
,
setting
an
example
to
other
Russians
,
went
to
Moscow
thinking
only
of
their
own
losses
but
kindling
hatred
of
the
foe
.
Napoleon
advanced
farther
and
we
retired
,
thus
arriving
at
the
very
result
which
caused
his
destruction
.
The
day
after
his
son
had
left
,
Prince
Nicholas
sent
for
Princess
Mary
to
come
to
his
study
.

"
Well
?
Are
you
satisfied
now
?
"
said
he
.
"
You
've
made
me
quarrel
with
my
son
!
Satisfied
,
are
you
?
That
's
all
you
wanted
!
Satisfied
?
...
It
hurts
me
,
it
hurts
.
I
'm
old
and
weak
and
this
is
what
you
wanted
.
Well
then
,
gloat
over
it
!
Gloat
over
it
!
"
After
that
Princess
Mary
did
not
see
her
father
for
a
whole
week
.
He
was
ill
and
did
not
leave
his
study
.
Princess
Mary
noticed
to
her
surprise
that
during
this
illness
the
old
prince
not
only
excluded
her
from
his
room
,
but
did
not
admit
Mademoiselle
Bourienne
either
.
Tíkhon
alone
attended
him
.
