se; the war of Napoleon in Spain, plainly proves this; the wars of the French Revolution in 1792, 1793 and 1794, demonstrate it still better; for if this last power was taken, less unprovided than Spare a hundred thousand Vendeans and a hundred thousand federalists able to do for the coalition of 1793? History offers but a single example of a struggle like that of the French revolution, and it army would have taken. The problem then presents two equally grave hypotheses; the campaign of 1793 has resolved it but in one sense: it would be difficult to resolve it in the other; it is to expequestion of leading on rapidly to the end. Its conduct, very different from that of the allies in 1793, merits the reflection of all those who should have like expeditions to direct. It was, thereforeror Alexander in 1812, were almost impossible to avoid. France had all Europe on her hands in 1793, in consequence of the extravagant provocations of the Jacobins, of the exaltation of the two par

Napoleon, or of a Suwarof, but, in default of this unity of a great captain, it is certainly the preferable mode. Before finishing upon these important matters, is remains for me yet to say a few words upon another manner of influencing military operations: it is that of councils of war established in the capitol near the government. Louvois, directed a long time from Paris, the armies of Louis XIV, and did it with success. Carnot directed also from Paris the armies of the Republic; in 1793 he did very well, and saved France; in 1794 he did at first very badly, then repaired his faults by chance; in 1796 he did decidedly very badly. But Louvois and Carnot directed alone the operations without assembling a council. The Aulic council of war, established at Vienna, had often the mission of directing the operations of the armies; there has never been but one voice in Europe upon the fatal effects which have resulted from it; is it wrong or right? Austrian generals can alone dec

of them: the expedition of the Duke of York to Dunkirk, in 1793, suggested to the English, by ancient maritime and commercieart of France, that it was necessary to conquer Dunkirk in 1793, and to deliver Holland in 1799; that is to say, by unitingle more fortunate than that of Jemmapes. The campaign of 1793 offers a new example of the influence of a bad direction ofd the Allies encamped for besieging them. It was not until 1793, when it saw itself assailed within and without, that the ris war came from him; it was he who directed, at the end of 1793, a choice reserve successively to the succor of Dunkirk, Mae hostile army. The operations of the French at the end of 1793, fron Dunkirk to Landau, those of Napoleon in 1796, in 1809ances where they would be suitable. In the civil wars of 1793, if the Allies had detached from their armies twenty thousa cited of 1809 and 1814, as also that ordered at the end of 1793, by Carnot, already mentioned in Art. 24, and the details o
