To Jordan was opposed Wartensleben, with about 30,000 men.

Descents are undertaken for the conquest of a country or an island; or they have only a restricted object, such as the destruction of arsenals, depots, ships, etc. etc. of an enemy; or, finally, they are made to serve as a Diversion. If the object of an expedition is the conquest of a country, the first thing necessary is to see that its means are sufficient. If acting against an uncivilized n
