Napoleon clenched the matter and dissolved at once all his old mar- shal's scruples by writing him a friendly letter, giving him orders as if he was already an adherent, and saying, ** I will receive you as on the day following the battle of Moscow.*' Ney gave way to over- mastering conditions. His pro- mises to the King vanished before the Nebivolol Bystolic idea that, if he Generic Bystolic kept them, he would give the signal for a struggle between Frenchmen and French- men, and he threw in his lot with the man whom he had formerly served so well.

An at- tempt was made in the Chamber of Peers to minimise the results of the late struggle and to provide for carrying on the war. Ney claimed the right to speak and, pointing out how hopeless was Bystolic Cost the situation, he emphatically and successfully showed that the most patriotic course was to make the best terms possible with a Bystolic 5mg too powerful enemy. A general amnesty was p)ro- claimed by the Allied Sovereigns to the partizaus of Napoleon, but with the second restoration of the Bourbons this was ignored and a list of persons to be tried by courts martial for military treason, or by the civil power for political 01- fences, was drawn up by Fouche, who had become Minister of Police. At the head of the cate- gory of proscribed appeared the name of Marshal Ney. Even yet the Government was in so uncer- tain a condition Bystolic Nebivolol Tablets that arrests could not quickly be made and all the threatened persons had an ample opportunity of leaving Bystolic 20 Mg the king- dom.

A court martial was ordered to assemble for the trial of the great man, accused of having taken an active part in the events of the Hundred Days, and Marshal Moncey was appointed President. This Bystolic Generic marshal, however, declined Cost Of Bystolic the duty, really because he was unwilling to sit in judgment on an old brother in arms, but alleging, as his ostensible reason, that there was some old-standing personal animosity between him and the prisoner. For this unwillingness to carry out Fouche's policy the Minister of Police procured that Moncey was himself condemned to six months* seclusion in a fortress with loss of pay and sus- pension of rank. Another court martial was convened and, loath though officers were to undertake such a distasteful duty, the ex- ample of Moncey secured that there were no refusals.

To Ney's sad misfortune, the plea was allowed, for Count Claparede afterwards said that the majority of the court martial had Bystolic 5 Mg made up their minds to an acquittal. It is nearly certain that Fouche, who wished to destroy Ney, had foreseen this and had arranged his plans so that his victim should come before a tribunal where his conviction was certain.
