General
Bertrand has displayed all possible
intelligence and industry upon the Danube, for
the purpose of conveying over that river the
terror of our foes. In it few days we shall
have three bridges over the Danube ; the first
f boats, the second of rafts, the third a bridge
built with piles. Mon in other times would
have consumed 15 months in forming a bridge
with piles over the Danube ; Gen. 'Bertrand will
have accomplished the work in 15 days. Trajan
threw a bridge over the Danube, but no carriage
could pass over it. We are told that Cesar
threw a bridge over the Rhine in 10 days, but
-neither could any carriage puss over it.—And
what a difference between the /thine and the
Danube! The bridge of pile; which we are
forming over the Danube will be finished in 15
days, and the largest pieces of artillery may be
carried over upon it with security.
