Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington

“ English I make known to the French that I enter their country at the head of an Army already victorious, not as an Enemy (except of the usurper, declared to be the Enemy of Mankind; with whom may be had neither Peace nor Truce) , but to help them to shake off the Yoke of Iron with which they are oppressed. ”

“ Tous ceux qui s'absenteront de leur domicile après l'entrée en France, et tous ceux qui se trouveront absens au service de l'usurpateur, seront considérés comme ses adherens et comme l'ennemis; et leurs propriétés seront affectées à la subsistance de l'armée. ”

“ All those who shall absent themselves from their homes, after the entrance of the army into France, and all those who shall be absent in the service of the usurper, shall be considered enemies and his adherents, and their shall be appropriated to the army. ”
