NAPOLEON L AND WINTER QUARTERS.

Colonel St. Ana* takes notice in the Debais of X
recent wild attack made on Marshal Pollster by oni
of our daily journals. In the course of his remarks
he says:

The Baglith public has been told that Napoleon I. did
not suspend hb operations daring the most inclement seesou,
end, es ea instance, the limb of Austerlitz hes been quoted.
That of By!** might ham been added, both having boat
fought in the depth of winter. Bet is sub of those rases
all the corm of the Preach army ROM distributed is can-

teammate at two or three hours' marsh from *se another,
and it wee the Russian army that attacked. Is Moravia,
is 1806, the French held the oonntry round Bruns' and the
Ramie= the neighbourhood of Olnnitz. For asveral days
previously hostilities had bees suspended by tacit comment,
whoa the Russian army &deemed on Austerlitz,
zsancantisg agaisst Napoleon's right, in order to cut
him if from the reed to' Viessa and the Danube,
fermis, the basis of hie operations. and compel
him to throw himself into Bohemia by the Iglaa
road. It was a 'lever sonabinatiom ea the part
of the Bastian generale, but it ruined them, because Napo-
leon maimed to turn it against themselves. In the Polish
campaign of 1807, Napoleos, after occupying Wittaw, had
seat his army into winter quarters ea the right beak of the
Vistula, and the Russian army was cantoned towards
Baste= Prussia. Daring the latter days of January. this
arms, oollectthg all its forces, marched on the Lower
Vistula, in the hope of cutting off and vanquishing is their
(autcasseste the various seeps form's' the left slug of the
French. Napolara hastened to parry this danger by
promptly rioneentrating his army, and from these impective
movements a conflict ensued, which was the battle of Byline.
We briefly allude to these feet. for the purpose of showing
by ealebrated examples that Napoleon took up winter
quarters as the allied army is now doing in the Crimea, and
that if he took the field on two occasions during the col@
moos, it was beams he was provoked.

ADOR AND " THE ROVING
ENOI,II3BMAN."

A letter from Constantinople, in the Sled., nar-
rates the followieg :

" Apropos of Lord Stratford de Redeliffe, they toll as

year, entitled ' the Roving Iloglialunan.' This book
produced a lively sensation in London, as much for its
Willman of style as for the subjects which it took in hand.
' The Roving Englishman' strolled more particularly in
Turkey and in the English Embassy. Mr. Murray bond
there an opportunity for snaking some acute remarks, the
remind of which formed a smart but truthful satin, to
which Lied Stratford de Radcliffe was not spared. In such
a ease, however thick the mil of the anonymous, it is not
hag before it is seen through. The English Government,
fearing the emmequesces Mite viadietive character of Lord
Stratford de Radcliffe, malted Mr. Murray ; but the latter,
believing that the noble lord would forgive the injury,
returned to Constantinople in virtue of his title. When he
wsa desirous of an interview with Lord Stratford de R ed-
Miffs, the latter Made him wait twelve hours in the ante-
chamber, and then sent him woad that he could not see him.
Mr. Murray returned to his hotel, and was preparing to
make amends for his fatigue by a refreshing sleep, when
Lord SVatford sent word that be most pt up immediately,
in order to take despatches to England. he returns in
the winter,' added the veteran ambassador, ' I will seed
hint by land to Bucharest, and I will answer for it that he
won't present himself here any more. "
