The thirty years' war is undoubtedly one of the most curious and interesting epochs of mo dern history. It abounds, perhaps, more than any other period in memorable events, in great military exploits, in singular and unforese en ... vicissitudes, and in decisiveand important sults. All the great nations of Europe appeared and performed distinguished parts iu the scene, but a small Northern People, led by a Hero, threw over it the greatest proportion of its splen dor. Sweden ought to consider this epoch as that of its heroic times. Since the Romans, military tactics' had n o been carried to such perfection ; never were greater enterprizes executed with such small means, and at no period was a more brilliant rivalry of illustrious captains displayed. In the armies of Austria, Wallenstein, Buquoy, Mansfoldt, Tilly, Gallas, Piccolomini, Paper heim, and the brave John of Werth; among the Swedes, Gustavus Adolphus, the greatest of all ; Bernard of Weymar, Bannier, Tortenson, Wrdugel, and many others not so well known, but very celebrated in their times, who are now unjustly forgotten, •because history not being able to collect, nor mernory to retain every thing, the fame of men too often is the sport of chance. The French, auxiliaries of the Swedes, and of the. Protestant League of Germany, distinguish ed themselves by their intrepedity and bravery in the midst of their brave and intrepid allies, and were commanded by generals whose military reputation was not eclipsed by that of the heroes before enumerated. Then becran that brilliant succession of great Captains which shed a lustre over the age of Louis'Xl V., and rendered this Monarch for a time the arbiter of the destinies of Europe. Among these great men, not the least remarkable were the Marshal de Guebrjant, the heir' f the arms of Bernard of Weymar and of Balmier, as Ulysses was of those of Achilles, and who was killed on the field of battle at the head of his victorious soldiers ; and Gassion, ce lebrated for equally brilliant exploits, and who died no less glorious a - death. Lastly, it was this war, and this school, which formed a General who was destined to eclipse them all, Turenne l th. first Cants;,-. age, or tn e wort hy --;"- of the first ; and who like most or the great Ge nerals in this memorable war, was at a later period stopped in his career of successes and triumphs, and fell, in the bosom of victory. The armies commanded by these illustrious Generals were far from numerous. Gustavus Adolphus had only 20,000 men at Lutzen, where be could not be vanquished, but where he met his death. Wallenstein, who commanded the enemy's force, had still fewer men at the begin ning of the battle. The arrival of Papenheim, with some regiments of cavalry, made the two armies equal in point of numbers; but this General did not come up till after the death of Gustavus, and he also was killed by precipitating himself amidst the Swedes in search of their king, of whose fatal end he was ignorant, and whom be ardently wished to contend against in person. It seems to me that the talents of a General are better shewn in great successes obtained by small armies, and that greater merit then belongs to him and is more properly his due. Cicero, speak ing before the greatest Captain of antiquity, does not hesitate to attribute to fortune and chance a large share of military successes ; but it must be admitted that the share of fortune and chance is considerably greater in those expeditions, where, according to the customs of Barbarians and o Asiatics, countless armies rush against each other; and that it is infinitely less, or next to nothing, in those scientific wars, where two Generals, at the head of small corps, watch and observe each other, lie in wait for favourable opportunities, seek for advantageous positions, now make a feigned attack, then convert it into a real one ; comprehend and overlook every thing, pro vide against every casualty by their genius, con duct every operatio❑ by their orders, and ani mate all by their example. These little armies then exhibit a singular spectcle. The soldiers, knowing no other habi tation than tents, and no other - country than camps, take their families with them. We some times see 15,000 women in an army ; and during the thirty years war, two or three generations of little soldiers were born, who, in the midst of so many dangers, and subject to institutions truly military, and to the most warlike education that can possibly be imagined, soon become as coura geous as their fathers.—" At. twelve years old," says an historian, "children began to fire muskets in a battle; at ten, in a besieged town, behind a wall, if their little hands could reach so high, they would let off arquebusades through holes in the battlements; at six they carried victuals to their fathers in the trenches, amid bombs and bullets. No person ever took any notice of these instruments of destruction, and they bad then no more fear of the most terrible fire of ar— tillery than we now dread thunder, or a fit of apoplexy." This grand epoch found in Schiller a noble historian. The feature .he has drawn of this me morable war is not unworthy of the filrgh reputa tion of its author. However, his genips is not always equal ; full of splendour and .vigour in some pictures, and in some descriptions, in the painting , of characters, and in the relartions of battles,-it languishes in other parts, and seems even to be extinct with the life of his hero Gus tavus Adolphus. After the battle of Lutzen, this brilliant historian becomes a dry abbreviator. It would appear that he' was tired - of his labour, 'or was desirous of returning to other works which were rendered dearer to him by the fame be had ac quired from them, and therefore hurried towards the conclusion, neglecting the researches, circum stances, and details which must necessarily have retarded his progress, but which would have made his history more noble, more atithentic, more instructive, and worthier of his high name. and of th e fi rs t part of tliii'work. The battle of Lutzen wts ksight pleiiisely in the middle of the period, comprised in the Thirty Years' War, and divides that memorable epoch in two equal parts, the last of which was not less fertile than the first, in great events, equally deserving to be recorded by the historian. It was the last half that the- French illustrated by their bravery and exploits; but the French are of opinion that Schiller was not animated by any great desire to do them full justice, or to dwell on their triumphs; and some of the notes of M. Manlier de Chassat are therefore designed to avenge the honour and fame of France, which are frequently held in little respect by German historians. But if these faults may be imputed to the work of Schiller, they are redeemed by many qualities of the first order. A bold and enlarged spirit, Schiller traces the causes of events, and exposes them with clearness, he detects the most hidden springs of action and lays them open, the mysteries of politics, and unveils them; he knows the resources and interests of the different con. tending powers, and furnishes excellent observa tions on all these points, which explain facts and enable us to form abetter judgment of the prin cipal events and the principal actors. A skilful writer, he arranges well his materials, connects in a masterly manner his recitals, and varying according to circumstances the style of his nar rative, he gives it by turns dignity, rapidity, richness, and splendour. A great painter more over, he makes his reader perfectly acquainted with the numerous heroes of this long and ter rible drama which agitated all Europe during a third of the seventeeth century; the inflexible and gloomy character of the destroyer of Mag deburg, Tilly ; the ardent mind and impetuoas courage of Papenheim; the genius, pride, and ambition of Wallenstein; the effeminacy of the Sybarite united to the bravery of the soldier in _ J J 1111.11 all the qualities of the prince, with all the virtues of private life, in Bernard of Wey mar, the greatest General of tile Allies after Gustavus Adolphus, dying at the age of thirty six years, if not in battle, like the hero whom he adopted for his model, and in the bosom of victory, at least immediately after one of his most brilliant deeds in arms, and one of his most glorious triumphs ; lastly, Gustavus Adolphus himself, eclipsing so many great men by the su periority of his military genius, by the ascen dancy of his virtues, and by the grace of his modesty. Schiller paints this Hero in particular by his words and actions ; he paints him also by the enthusiasm with which p eo pl e were animated t at his approach, and which burst forth whenever he appeared. A few days previous_ to his death, he travelled over the plains of Leipsic, the very same which one year before he had rendered famous by a brilliant victory gained over Tilly, the most celebrated of the. Austrian Generals.-- 4C The inhabitants of the neighbouring districts," says the Historian, 4C were seen to flock toge " therin crowds, to admire - the Hero, the avenger, " the powerful Monarch, who the year before had " appeared like a tutelar angel in these very places. C ‘ Every where on his journey shouts ofjoy resound ed and filled the air; the people, affected at his GC presence,' fell on their knees and adored him " like a god ; they disputed the honour of touch " fug the scabbard of his sword, or the lit'm "of his garment. The modest mind of G-usta " vus was moved at this affecting homage' of sin " cere gratitude and general, admiration. These cc people seem to behold a god in me, said he, to " his attendants ; I fear that the vengeance of " Heaven sscill make me expiate such a scanda " loos spectacle, and may soon prove to this in " fatuated crowd, that I am, alas, but a weak " mortal." Some days after, the hero fell cover ed with wounds at the battle of Lutzen, where every thing tends to the belief that he would have been . the conqueror, since even after his death•bis brave soldiers could not be vanquished. T.he descriptions of the _battle of Lutzen, of the battle of Leipsic, and of the terrible attack on the intrenched camp of Wallenstein by the intrepid Swedes, who were there completely de feated, and where Gustavus suffered a terrible , check, the only one Which he experienced until' his death ; and the description also of the pillage and , burning of Magdeburg, are full of life,energy, and interest. The last of these- descriptions makes us shudder with horror:. houses a prey to. the . flames, the victims- reeking with carnage, , the people given up to the sword, and mothers, pale and Weeding, snatching their trembling daughters from the arms"of an infuriate soldiery. Bu: these ferocious conquerors did not suffer their prey to escape until they had murdered them : they massacred those whom they had violated, and fifty women were found in a Church without their heads. The Croats amused themselves with throwing children into the flames,:and.the Walloons of PaPenheim prefered stabbing them on the breasts . of their mothers. The barbarian y witnessed all these horrors, and replied to some persons, who intreated him to put an end to them, " Come back in an hour, I will their see what can be done." In the description of battles Schiller is worthy of Horner and Tasso, and the battles described by him are fit subjects for his talents ;• they are in reality battles of giants; wholeregiments are cut to pieces without retreat ing a _single- Step—they all die at their post ; *others succeed, -Undergo the • same fate, and are immediately replaced by fresh corps, w'ho at length gain the victory, and triumph. oiler numbers, over every obstacle, and death 'in- , every ;shape. All the Nations of Europe are brave when they are well commanded ; and : this is a truism which ought not escape the recollection of those to whoth for- - time has given the adva4ltafktir and - which, .in . their most 'b r illi an t successes,' they ought- t o ac knowledge, not only from a sentiment of gene- - rosity, but from a principle of justice. The French translator, M. Mailher de Chassat, - has-added much to the interest already inspired by • the wort:-of the German historian. Versed in the knowledge of the writers of Germany, wlio have treated -on the same subject, he gathers frOm Kevenhuller, Palmskceld, Oxenstiern, Adler, Salvius, Grading, &c., facts, ideas, and reflections which he gives in instructive notes, amplifying and explaining, and at other times correcting and pruning, the narrative of Schiller. The famous Thirty Years' War was terminated by the cefe- • orated Treaty of Westphalia, so that the history of this Treaty, not less curious than that of the War, forms its sequel and completion ; it was • written by M. Woltmann, a countryman of Schil ler, and the French translation of M.Mailher de Chassat is furnished with long and learned notes, founded on the liest French memoirs and histo- • ries, and selected with much judgment and cri tical acumen.
