CONSIDERATIONS ON THE WAR WITH RUSSIA.
PARIS, (kr. 18.—The observation of 'Frivulcio to
Louis 111. has been often repeated :--44 To make
war with success, you mu it first have money ;.-2dlQ,
tioney, ;-3dly, money." How much morejust and
4oble is the maxim proclaimed by Hannibal, adopt-
ell by Frederick, and of which. we have so often
seen the brilliant epplication by that hero who has
surpassed them both :—"lt belongs to war to *rapport
zcar." Must a nation begin by exhausting itself, in
order to inflict vengeanee on its enemy.?—and
should not all the weight of the contest be made to
fail on these adversaries who have provoked it ! The I
first consideration, the'', the - tirst duty of the heed
of a gloat people, is to render sacred
.and inviolable
the country which it inhabits. Since we have seen;
realised amongst us the wish which Alesaudor ex-1
pressed' when at the point of death,—since the sceptre :
land the sword were placed.. in the hands of the most 1
l worthy, have we felt enrolment for the safety of our I
I frontiers ?—litivo war, had all, its attendant ,
I scosrges, deformed the soil protected by his power--
tut arm ? It was enough for him to slew himself, I
lin order to drive them hack on the territory of the •
, presumptuous enemy who threatened them.
In vain did that enemy confide in the immensity of
distance. ThiS age was destined to see revived the ;
times of Cyrus and of Alexander. Seventy days
have Scarcely elapsed since the hest French bayonet
,-glittered is the eyes of the Russians, ;Led already',
i the eagle of Napoleon floats over the ancient pa:aca
;of the Czars. For the first time, the sons of the
I•Se. ine, of the Le-ire, and of the Rhone, penetrate
into regions hardly known to their Co hers. Rut the
descendants of the Gauls, who laid Rome in ashes,
do not exclaim like their ancestors,—Woe to the
1 vanvtilised ! Never' did civilization obtain a filter
victory over barbarism. It is the conquerors who
! save the vanquished from the effects of their own !
rage. A subject of the Russian Czir dared to will'
; that Moscow should perish, and the army of the
I French Monarch snatched that superb city from de. I
I stfliction. But let us cease for a moment to follow
the rapid sspeep of our victorious legions, and let us
calmly contemplate the wise arrangements which pro- 1
! pared their triumph, and secured to them its advan.;
I tages. Let us view, with new admiration, another !
example of war maintairaiNg rater. Let us lay open i
to the envious view of• our rivals, the immense re. ,'
sources presented by tire conquered country, and of
which the enemy, by his very position, is hencefor. i
i ward deprived. - ;
As soon as all hope of peace vanished, the armies
I destined to support the cause of Ilhropq against the
I,new. Allies of England, were pat in motion."' From
-Ilideirst day of hostilities, encamped on the enemy's
! territory, they formed an uninterrunted chain from
the mouth of the Niemen to the seurees of the Bug. !
; On this base of IW leagues in extent, rested all the
lines of operation which now unite in Moscow, the
central point to which they were directed by the soul
of this grand movement. The corps engaged never
ceased to maintain the closest mutual connection.
Bat, however valuable to the conqueror this vast
portion of the domains of his adversary,—how-
ever injurious its loss to the vatjuished,—it was
not till the present moment that the latter must be-
gin to feel all the depth of his wounds,—all the
danger of his situation. A short sketch wilt demon-
strate this :
Moscow, which all the efforts of Peter the Great
could not strip of its importance, nor even of the
rank and dial acteristics of the true capital of Itus-
I sia, is situated nearly in the centre of that vast ern-
.pire ; the Asiatic portion being excepted. Its sur-
rounding proviares are incomparably the most fertile
'of any in those climes. The more northerly districts
consist almost uniformly of vast marshes, impenetra-
ble forests, and sandy plains. The duration and ex-
cessive rigour of the si inters condemn this portion
of the Russian States to nearly absolute steri...
lity. Iu the more southern. provinces., on the other
hand, we Lind steppes or boundless* deserts, whose
gravelly soil is impregnated with salt, and totally de-
stitute of wood and water. The province of Moscow
and its adjoining Governments, situated between
these extremes, produce in such abundance all the
necessaries of life, that from that large city, as a sort
, of general entrepot, they were spread over the whole

Three-fourths of Morrow are in ashes. Doubtless
we must deplore this frightful calamity, the effect of
barbarism without example; but this misfortine fails
entirely upon our enemies, and caunot endanger the
existence of our legions, as some persons, adopt•
ing an opinion totally destitute of foundation, might
fora OleMeer believe. Suppose Paris burnt, could
the army which occupied the Deaaucc►, the Orloanaiv„
and Plcardy, in short, the provinces from which it
derives subsistence,—could this army want provi-
sions ?—Certainly not. Very well, our position is
exactly similar to the case we have now put. , But
there is one essential remark, which modifies the cows..
parison to our advantage : almost all parts of Franco,
are rich and well peopled, consequently two hostile
-armies could there find abundant resources. The same
cannot be said of Russia. The central territory of
that vast Empify a'one presents the advantages
of fertility ; the remainder is comparatively a desert,
as unproductive of men as of the means of subsist-
ence. Our entrance into Moscow, and the position
of the enemy. &lieu from all his internal provinces,
sufficiently tell how little we hare to fear front the
threats, contained in his ridiculous proclamations,
of reducing us to the most severe privations. Far
from being ourselves exposed to them, we are even
likely to famish St. Petersburgli this winter; and our
•army, interposed between the enemy and his too
capitals, already closes the channel of all those sup-
plies which are indispensably necessary for its sup
port. But while, amidst resources of every kind,
our soldiers enjoy repose from their fatigues in Mos-
cow, partially saved by their courage, the Russians,
thanks to the skilful maineuvres of their Generals,

will want every thing in their own country. The
enemy is flying to Cann, bOD leagues irons St. Pe.
tersbargb, and 300 from Moscow : the latter city
should have been the bulwark of the empire, the
rampart of his army, the depot of his stores, the
centre of his communications, and the granary of his
subsistence ; and in it our army, master of all its
I. movements, is deriving new strength to finish Colt the
confines of Asia the reduction of those barbarians
whom it has marched to comlAt from the etremities
•
of Europ4.
One great man jj of the 18th century, blamei
another for employing his pen in writing the history
of Russia. The same reproach will not apply to hiln
1 who shall continue it to that period when it becomes
a chapter in our annals. It must always be with
the.most lively cariosity that the philosopher will
enquire what the Muscovites were, what they wisig24
to be, and what they are become.
