Bon. Sad Echo, begone! I grow infuriate! I die!

It may be added that Napoleon himself (Voice from St. Helena, vol. i. p. 432.), when asked about the execution of Palm, said:
"All that I recollect is, that Palm was arrested by order of Davoust, I believe, tried, condemned, and shot, for having, while the country was in possession of the French and under military occupation, not only excited rebellion amongst the inhabitants, and urged them to rise and massacre the soldiers, but also attempted to instigate the soldiers themselves to refuse obedience to their orders, and to mutiny against their generals. I believe that he met with a fair trial."
