GneisenaK to Muffling. Senlis, June 29, iS(5. The Field-marshal orders me still tosay that you shall explain to the Dukeof Wellington that it had been theField-marshals intention to executeBonaparte on the same spot where theDuke of Enghien was shot, luit thatout of regard for the Dukes wishes hewould omit the execution. The Dukehowever must assume the responsibilityfor such omission. It seems to me as if the Englishwould be embarrassed with regard tothis surrender of Bonaparte. You aretherefore to negotiate solely on the basisof his being handed over to us. N. vox GXEISEXAU.
