See too Marmont ("Mems.,” vol. ii., p. 227) on his own exclusion and the inclusion of Bessieres.]

[Footnote 310:  At the next public audience Napoleon upbraided one of the judges, Lecourbe, who had maintained that Moreau was innocent, and thereafter deprived him of his judgeship.  He also disgraced his brother, General Lecourbe, and forbade his coming within forty leagues of Paris. ("Lettres inedites de Napoleon,” August 22nd and 29th, 1805.)]

[Footnote 315:  Mme. de Remusat, vol. i., ch. x.  As the cure of the parish was not present, even as witness, this new contract was held by the Bonapartes to lack full validity.  It is certain, however, that Fesch always maintained that the marriage could only be annulled by an act of arbitrary authority.  For Napoleon’s refusal to receive the communion on the morning of the coronation, lest he, being what he was, should be guilty of sacrilege and hypocrisy, see Segur.]

[Footnote 324:  Colonel Campbell, our Commissioner at Elba, noted in his diary (December 5th, 1814):  “As I have perceived in many conversations, Napoleon has no idea of the difficulties occasioned by winds and tides, but judges of changes of position in the case of ships as he would with regard to troops on land.”]
