essary for directing every thing according to his own will, the best system which he can adopt, will be to imitate precisely what the Prussian government did with Blucher; that is to say, to call to his assistance two generals the most famed for their capacity, the one taken from among men of acknowledged executive qualities, the oe should be given the command with carte-blanche, and with the choice of his instruments. If he have not yet required the same titles, he may be sur rounded like Blucher, with an instructed chief of staff, and with a counselor taken from among men of tried execution. But in no case would it be wise to give those counselors other mo may live in good harmony; the glory is sufficiently great to yield a part of it to a friend who should have concurred in preparing successes. It was thus that Blucher, assisted by the Gneisenaus and Mufflings, covered himself with a glory which probably he never would have acquired all alone. Without doubt, this kind of double

Now, in this march of the armies of Schwartzenberg, Blucher, the Prince of Sweden and Benningsen, we find againe not followed; for they prescribed the waiting for Blucher, and the falling upon him when he should furnish ocd would also have been able to accept a battle with Blucher, if he had better comprehended the instructions of ty, the one by Quatre-Bras, and the other by Wavre; Blucher and Wellington, taking an interior strategic line, . The sudden attack of Napoleon on Fleurus decided Blucher to receive battle parallelly to the English base, aat Ligny, and a refugee at Gembloux, then at Wavre, Blucher had but three strategical lines to choose, that whi a strategic line more audacious still than that of Blucher upon Wavre. However, it was a question only of thr the army, by giving to the Prince of Hohenlohe and Blucher time to gain Berlin, or Stettin at least. Those Jena but the same manoeuvre?

hat the more simple a decisive manoeuvre shall be, the more certain will be its success; the second is that the seasonableness of sudden dispositions, taken during the combat, is of more probable success than the effect of manoeuvres combined in advance; unless the latter reposing upon interior strategic movements, have led the columns which are to decide the battle, upon points where their effect will be assured. Warterloo and Bautzen attest this last truth; from the moment when Bulow and Blucher had arrived upon the height of Frischermont, nothing could have prevented the loss of the battle by the French, they could struggle only to render the defeat more or less complete. In the same manner at Bautzen as soon as Ney had arrived at Klix, the retreat of the Allies on the night of the 20th of May, would alone have been able to save them, for on the 21st it was no longer time, and if Ney had better executed what he was advised, the victory would have been immense.

a small number of officers capable of penetrating them by analogy with precedents. In the same manner, in 1815, when Blucher cantoned peaceably between the Sambre and the Rhine, and Wellington gave or received fetes at Brussels, both awaiting thuard, which had just scarcely been reformed at the capital, burst like lightning upon Charleroi and upon the quarters of Blucher, with columns converging from all points of the horizon, to arrive, with rare punctuality, the 14th June in the plains omself on the belt of strong places of Lorraine and Alsace. This precious information decided the union of the armies of Blucher and Schwartzenburg, which all seeming strategic remonstrance had never succeeded in making act in concert, excepting at ncertain: an aeronaut would have been sufficiently embarrassed to decide at the battle of Waterloo if it were Grouchy or Blucher who arrived by St. Lambert; but in cases where armies are less mingled and more distinct, it seems that this means might
