lia, from 1757 to 1762, and that of Napoleon in 1806. (See Fig. 1.) Figure I. In the first The manoeuvre of Napoleon upon the Saale in 1806, was combined absolutely in the same manner; hecast an eye over the theatre of the campaign of 1806 and 1807. The Baltic Sea, and the frontiers ofsions had already rejoined him. Napoleon, in 1806, had also the double base of the Main and the Rgn to his masses in 1805, on Donauwerth, and in 1806 on Gera; skillful manoeuvres, which military mealais. In the same manner in the campaign of 1806, if he had marched from Gera straight to Leipziuabia and rich Lombardy, came near perishing in 1806 in the mud of Pultusk, and did perish in 1812 iund Vienna. Napoleon, marching to the war of 1806, formed such reserves on the Rhine; Mortier use Prussians had formed a similar one at Halle in 1806; but it was badly placed; if it had been establsured the success of Napoleon in 1800, 1805 and 1806, by the direction given to his forces upon an e[4 more...]

order to unite his columns, then the retreat must recommence in the night, in order to regain ground. The third method of retreat, that of following several parallel routes, is very suitable when those routes are sufficiently near to each other. But if they are too far removed apart, each of the wings of the army, separated from the others, might be separately compromised, if the enemy, directing the weight of his forces upon it, obliged it to receive battle. The Prussian army, coming in 1806, from Magdeburg to gain the Oder, furnishes proof of this. The fourth system, which consists in following two concentric routes, is without doubt the most suitable, when the troops are found removed from each other at the moment when the retreat is ordered; nothing is then better than the rallying of one's forces, and the concentric retreat is the only means of succeeding in it. The fifth mode indicated, is nothing else than the famous system of excentric lines, which I have attributed

ted all the importance of good logistics: the one is the miraculous assembling of the French army in the plains of Gera in 1806 ; the second is the opening of the campaign in 1815. In both of these events Napoleon knew how to collect together, witnd the most probable chances. I shall allow myself to cite a few examples of them taken in my own experience. When, in 1806, they were yet undecided in France upon the war with Prussia, I made a memoir upon the probabilities of the war, and the oons. His three volumes upon war prove evidently that in a situation like that in which the Duke of Brunswick was found in 1806, he would have been quite as embarrassed as he was as to the course which it was necessary to take. Irresolution must be taff the means of sending agents into Lusace to learn where Napoleon was. General Mack at Ulm and the Duke of Brunswick in 1806 were no better informed; and the French generals in Spain often paid dear for the impossibility of having spies and inform

partial detachments, and by the Sepoys whom they disciplined to the number of a hundred and fifty thousand. The Anglo-Russian expedition against Holland, in 1799, was executed by forty thousand men, but by several successive debarkations; it is, nevertheless, interesting from its details. In 1801, Abercrombie, after having disquieted Ferrol and Cadiz, made a descent with twenty thousand English upon Egypt; every one knows the result. The expedition of General Stuart to Calabria, (in 1806,) after some successes at Maida, had to regain Sicily. That against Buenos-Ayres, more unfortunate, was terminated by a capitulation. In 1807, Lord Cathcart made a descent with twenty-five thousand men at Copenhagen, besieged and bombarded it; he took possession of the Danish fleet, the object of his enterprise. In 1808 Wellington made a descent on Portugal with fifteen thousand men. It is known how, victorious at Vimiero, and supported by the insurrection of all Portugal, he forced Ju
