any ccnsidetable engageinent. Having fortified Paris as Carat
it could be. done, and left ,a powerful garrison to defend i
against the Allies, Napoleon has made a desperate push in
their rear. After the action at Arcis on the 21st, Ite,moved

most important acquisition. Augerean was at Dijon, and probably
