page 186 note 3 General Vincent had been sent on a special mission to Napoleon's headquarters in Poland with the ostensible object of guarding Austrian interests which might be affected by the proximity of the French army, but with the ulterior object of declaring Austria's desire to “assist in the establishment of general peace.” [Stadion to Starhemberg, 21 Feb. 1807, W[einer] S[taats] A[rchiv] Weisungen nach London. He was at this time with Talleyrand in Warsaw.

page 187 note 2 Adair himself evidently came to realise how often he had been deceived by Austrian hints and promises of an early intervention in the war against France; for the chief excisions that he made in his despatches when he published them in his Historical Memoir of a Mission to the Court of Vienna in 1806 [1844] consisted of those jubilant passages in which he had predicted Austria's impending decision.
