- Depiction: As might have been foreseen, Napoleon's old ascendency over the French army asserted itself more strongly than ever. The more martial spirits, wearied of a restoration with which France felt no sympathy, began to languish for the presence of their great captain. Present caricature. A trooper has abjured his allegiance to the Burbons, and is hailing his Corporal with a pinch from his snuffbox. His hat is still garnished with the white cockade, Vive le Roi! Above it is a red one, Vive le Diable! And, on the other side, the famous tricolor, and Vive l'Empereur! French Constancy is illustrated in these interchanged emblems. French Stability appears figuratively likened to the sails of a windmill. As to French Integrity, the emblems of a monkey and cat, kissing and fondling, pictorially sets forth the "union between the National Guard and the troops of the line".
