Thatunrivalled country, as one of our poets calls it, had brought him goodfortune. There he wrote the famous bulletins of his first victories; therehe began to impress the popular imagination; and it was through Italy thathe subjugated France. There he felt at home. The people of that peninsulagreeted him as a fellow-countryman. He liked to speak their language tothem, charmed by its harmony and sincerity. His Southern genius rejoicedin its bright skies which lent everything such lustre, and we...ll suited theconqueror's thoughts. He perhaps preferred Milan to Paris as a place tolive in.
His formal entrance into the capital of his kingdom of Italy had beenskilfully arranged. Cardinal Caprara, the Archbishop of that city, hadgreat influence there, and he was never tired of speaking to his flockabout the services Napoleon had rendered to the Catholic religion. TheGrand Master of Ceremonies, M. De Segur, who reached Milan a few daysbefore the Emperor, charmed the best society of Lombardy by his pleasantwit and delightful manners, and induced the most illustrious families tosolicit the honor of figuring among the ladies and officers in waiting atthe palace of the King and Queen of Italy, as Napoleon and Josephine werecalled at Milan.
