Trevise； Undine； and Mantua rivaled each other in their eagerness to
receive his Majesty in a becoming manner。 King Joseph had left the
Emperor to return to Naples； but Prince Murat and the vice…king
accompanied his Majesty。
The Emperor stopped only two or three days at Milan； and continued his
journey。 On reaching the plains of Marengo； he found there the entire
population of Alexandria awaiting him； and was received by the light of
thousands of torches。 We passed through Turin without stopping； and on
the 30th of December again descended Mont Cenis； and on the evening of
the 1st of January arrived at the Tuileries。
