He also offered to the government his services in the capacity of general only, remarking, that he was prepared to march against the enemy, and frustrate his bold and hazardous attempt upon the capital. This proposal was sternly rejected. Fouché declared that to accede to it would be to remove every chance of arrangement with the Coalition powers, to create fresh troubles and disorders throughout the country, and, though a temporary success might be gained, to bring down eventually the concentrated force of the immense European armament upon the devoted capital.

Having received this explicit declaration on the part of Wellington, the Commissioners withdrew. 483:. Before the attack commenced, BlĂĽcher was joined by Wellington, who communicated to him the proposals which had been made by the French Commissioners.
