Moreau one base parallel, and another perpendicular toht to be maintained because they exist. Considering that France has two fronts, from Dunkirk to Basle, one from Basle to Savoy, one from Savoy to Nice, besides the altogether separate line of the PyBasle to Savoy, one from Savoy to Nice, besides the altogether separate line of the Pyrannees, and the maritime line of the coasts, there results that it has six fronts to cover, which would require from forty to fifty places.

But this circumstance could alter in nothing the evident advantage which a point of passage procures, established upon an extremity of the strategic front of the enemy. The generalissimo could a
