rection upon the Danube. They formed, as in 1794, two exterior lines. The Arch-Duke Charles, more skillful than the Prince de Coburg, profits from the interior dire in the valley of the Inn, forty leagues from their base of operations! The Arch-Duke has equal forces, but unites them on the centre, which he overthrows at Stockachoved that they had some conception of strategy. Every one knows that the Arch-Duke triumphed in 1796, over Jourdan and Moreau, by a single march, which was the appwenty thousand more coming from tlhe Rhine; the French general attacked the Arch-Duke before the arrival of those reinforcements, and pushed his successes briskly becthis truth, by reading with some attention the interesting campaigns of the Arch-Duke, of Suwaroff and of Massena in 1799, as well as those of Napoleon and of Moreau lteline, the Aulic Council had made him march upon Berne, or unite with the Arch-Duke, all would have been over with Massena. Those events seem then to prove that, i

moral condition of the two parties. History does not lack examples for all the species. For example, the intrenched camps of Rehl, of Dresden, of Warsaw; the lines of Turin, and of Mayence; the strong intrenchments of Feldkirch, of Scharnitz, of the Assiette; here are ten events, the. conditions of which vary like the results. At Kehl, (1796,) the intrenchments were more connected and better finished than at Warsaw; they were almost a tete-de-pont in permanent fortification, for the Arch-Duke believed it his duty to pay them the honors of a regular seige, and, in fact, he could not think of attacking them by main force without running great risks. At Warsaw the works were formed isolated, but meanwhile of a very respectable relief, and they had for redoubt a great city surrounded with created walls, armed, and defended by a body of desperate men. Dresden had for redoubt in 1813, a bastioned enceinte, but the front of which, already dismantled, had only a field parapet; the cam

tise for every army; then many of those details are found as much in the works above cited as in that of Colonel Lallemand, entitled Treatise on the Secondary, Operations of War; in that of Marquis de Ternay; finally, in the first work of the Arch-Duke, entitled Grundsatze der hohern Kriegskunst. I will limit myself then to presenting a few ideas on the first articles of the nomenclature which precedes. 1. The measures which the staff should take to prepare for the entrance into the fieldfficult to put in practice before an enemy, their utility will be acknowledged, at least, for the preparatory movements executed cuted out of his reach; thanks to that excellent manual, to the treatise of Guibert, and to the first work of the Arch-Duke (Gransatze der hoheren Kriegskunst) we may easily instruct ourselves in all those logistical operations which are not permitted to us to pass over in silence, but which it suffices for our plan to point out. Before quitting this interesting sub

general principles of war published in 1807; the brave cavalry of Bessieres could do nothing against those little masses. M. de Wagner seems to call in question that I contributed to the adoption of this formation. His Royal Highness, the Arch-Duke himself. assured me of it in the meanwhile, in 1814; for, in the Austrian as well as in the French regulations. it was used only for the attacks of posts, and not for lines of battle. In order to give more solidity to the column proposed, we. This was one of the causes of the small success of the French at Waterloo. If the column of Macdonald succeeded better at Wagram, it paid dearly for it, and but for the success of the attacks of Davoust and of Oudinot upon the left of the Arch-Duke, it is not probable that it would have came out victorious from the position in which, for a moment, it saw itself placed. When it is decided to risk such a mass, it is necessary, at least, to take care to establish upon each flank a battalion
