UNITED SERVICE INSTITUTION.— A lecture wag
delivered in the theatre of this Institution on Friday las,
Major-General Sir R. Decree, R.A., K.C.8., in the chair, on
the campaign of Marengo, by Lieutenant-Colonel Hawley,
RA., Staff College, Sandhurst. Colonel Hawley began by
indicating the principle on which Napoleon acted in this
campaign, namely, that of directing an attack upon the Sank
of an enemy'. Imo, which was too widely extended for •
united effort, and by the turning of that flank ensuring the
advantage d throwing himself ammo the line of retreat.
Applying the principle to the theatre of war in North Italy,
the lecturie showed bow the angular formation of the fron-
tier enabled Napoleon to turn hie enemy's flank without et
the same time exposing ble own commucketions. The mea-
sures taken by the First Consul to ensure secrecy in the
assemblement of his army and to direct them, in concert
with • detachment from the army of the Rhine, ups the I
Austrian forces north of the Po, were narrated. The course
of the narrative then comprised the meets taken to deceive
the Austrian general by threatening Turin with the admits
guard, while the French army ectompliabed its flank march
to Mika ; the perplexities of the Auetriana aa each sumer-
ful step in his design was achieved by Bonaparte; the move-
ments of the French across the Po, thus cutting off
the retreat of the enemy ; the movements of the
Austrians towards Piacenza; the encounter at Monte-
bello, and lastly the battle of Marengo. with its enor-
mous results, which necessarily followed the successful exe-
cution of a greet strategicel plan. Much of the interest of
the narrative, apart from the exposition of scientific pris-
clplee, wee derived flout a detailed account of the two re-
markable episodes ot the passage of the St. Bernard, end of
ths siege and surrender of Genoa.
