[Footnote 131: #Moreau# (1763-1813), "the greatest general of the

French republic after Napoleon and Hoche," after winning the great

victory of Hohenlinden, December, 1800, intrigued against Napoleon, and

was forced to leave France in 1804. He continued his scheming while in

exile, and in 1813, while serving in the Russian army, he was mortally

wounded at the Battle of Dresden. But before leaving France he, or more

probably his ambitious wife, had gathered all the elements of discontent

with the self-seeking of Napoleon into a cabal called the club Moreau,

of which these fugitive #compagnons# may be supposed to be members,

for the club was relentlessly suppressed by Napoleon.]
