tinental court. He has the rank of general, is at the head of the
Academy, is inspector-general, physican-general to the forces,
and first physican to the Emperor. He cut off Moreau's legs,
and said he would have lived if he had not been moved. He
seemed quite delighted to meet a Scotchman, and complained bit
terly, as all the Russians do, of allowing our officers to fight
against them. I can never think of poor Christie's fate with
patience.
I have had a good deal of conversation with Prince Lubanoff,
who has the second or third fortune in Russia, having 33,000
peasants, almost 40,000/. per annum. He says the Emperor
must give them a constitution ; and I find. Count Woronzoff
thinks something must be done to ameliorate the internal govern
ment. Russia has now a million of men ; two-thirds of these at
peace take leave and go to their homes, from whence they only
return on war. They have hardly any pay. They speak a good
deal of Persia, and the facility of an Indian invasion. This the
Count treats as nonsense; but he seems persuaded no continental
power could stand against Russia a moment. Never was an army,
he says, in which there was so much brotherhood and so little
jealousy. It is formed of corps, divisions, and regiments, cavalry
and infantry. A corps is two divisions; a division six regiments,
two battalions each, and one battalion in Russia. The regiment is
850 strong, and 50 supernumeraries each company. This makes
an infantry division about 12,000, a cavalry 5000, I was astonished
at the health of the Russian army in France. Sir J. Wylie
assured me that he had returns to prove that out of 200,000
there were hardly more than 1000 sick. He appealed toWoron-
zofF, who affirmed that in his division, which was full 10,000,
he had only 33 men on the sick list, and had only lost one man
by death; and only 38 men died in August of the whole Russian
army in France in the last month.
September 10.—I saw the grand review this morning. Never
was sight more splendid. There were 152,000 men under arms,
of which 25,000 were cavalry, and 538 pieces of field artillery.
The infantry divisions, amounting to about 10,000 each, were
drawn up in three lines, with their artillery. Three companies of
36 guns on their flanks, the cavalry in the rear and on the flanks,
and the fine park of horse-artillery was on the right. The whole
army v. as drawn up on the plain to the east of Montmorency, on
