	CHAPTER V. - FROM MARENGO TO THE RUPTURE OF THE PEACE OF AMIENS.
		Peace from foreign warfare was not less desired by the nation; and although the First Consul himself was restlessly planning the next campaign, it belonged to his policy to represent himself as the mediator between France and Europe.
		The Peace of Luneville, [88] concluded between France and the Emperor on the 9th of February, 1801, without even a reference to the Diet of the Empire, placed the minor States of Germany at the mercy of the French Republic.
		If peace, however, was to be made, the only possible settlement was by means of a compromise; and it was finally agreed that England should retain Ceylon and Trinidad, and restore the rest of the colonies which it had taken from France, Spain, and Holland.

		The rupture of the peace of Amiens was not so much as it seems a deliberate new beginning in Napoleon's life.
		He neither made peace with England, nor concentrated his force upon her, carefully conciliating the Continental Powers, nor endeavoured by diplomacy to form a European coalition against her, but plunged into the enterprise of forcing the Continent by arms into a confederacy against her.

		In England, "the fourteen years from the outbreak of the French revolution to the Peace of Amiens -- from 1789 till 1802 -- formed an almost unbroken succession of bad harvests, and that of 1792 was one of the worst of the series.
		It was, then, at a moment of acute commercial and agricultural crisis that this most pacific and commercial of ministers [Pitt] found himself confronted with a war of the very first magnitude."2 Pitt was to learn from his father, Lord Chatham, that a foreign policy required firmness and purpose.
		An enormous load of debt, an impaired credit, a series of military defeats, a rising discontent among the people, a dismemberment of all the great monarchical powers formed in 1793 to destroy France, and no visible signs of the war coming to an end -- this was the prospect which Pitt had to face.
