at campaign. I shall merely observe that Dumouriez abandoned without cause the pursuit of the Allied army, in order to transfer the theatre of war from the centre to the extreme left of the general éhiquier; moreover, he did not know how to give to this movement a great object, and went to attack in front the army of the Duke de Saxe-Teschen, near Mons, whilst that by descending the Meuse upon Namur, with his mass, he would have been able to roll it back upon the North Sea, near Nieuport or Ostend, and to annihilate it entirely, by a battle more fortunate than that of Jemmapes.

The armament which England made in 1815 against Napoleon, returned from the island of Elba, was remarkable for the immense materiel which it debarked at Ostend and Antwerp. The troops amounted also to sixty thousand Anglo-Hanoverians; but the one came by land, and the others landed on the soil of a powerful ally, so that it was a successive and pacific descent rather than a military expedition.
