ning,"&c. Here is more bad --the result of translating too literally it should be, "I prevented the battle from lost." There are a few other little errors to which we would call the attention of the translator "in 1805 the French army, after the fine march from the shores of La Mancha to Germany," &c. La Mancha is a province of Old Castile, and several hundred miles distant from Boulogne, which was the starting point of the army, to say nothing of its being in a country not belonging to France. Marmont, no doubt, wrote La Mancha.--"Manche," in French, means "a sleeve." The French call the English Channel "La Manche," "the sleeve," from its fancled resemblance, on the map, to that part of a lady's gown. The province of La Manche is on the channel, and is called after it. It is a province of what was formerly called Normandy, and is really the country from which the French army began its march in 1865. This might have been a type graphical error,--we suppose indeed it was — but

other battle? Another objection, that he did not the day before the battle send a heavy force around one of the Russian wings, was also answered by him on the field, when Davoust offered to conduct it with his corps of 40,000 men. His objection was that Davoust would necessarily pose communication with the main body, and thus expose himself to destruction.--This was consistent with all his practice.--In order to units all his forces in 1869 before attacking the enemy in the neighborhood of Ratisbon, he made this same Davonat evacuate that city, and bring his force to his on the flank of the Archduke's march. He accomplished it with great difficulty, and the whole force was united. Now, it seems, when the whole army was already united, Napoleon was to send off one-third of it, and thus expose himself to attack in detail.--Such, at least, was the opinion of Segur, and of Marment, too. The policy which, on a former occasion, had secured the most triumphant success was to be reversed on
