A high estimate is made of the talents of
General Bennigsen, not only from his brave
eonduct at Eylau, which has procured him the
notice of his Prince, but from the miiitar, ta-
Tents which he has been known to cultfvate,
and by which he has distinguished himself
Te.him is attributed the work which appeared
at Riga in the year II sin which.he gives his
J" Thoughts upon the knowledge necessary
for every officer. of the Light Horse" a work
of high reputation. 1t has been observed, that
Sen. BcAningser,, upon an examination fthc
military talents OF the French emperor, proc

him, he should be sure to profit from the dIs-
covcry. Report has attributed this remark

It the same. but the ANONYMOUS aat h0fsoi Re-
Elections Of ! Soldier upon the events OF the
last war, published at Cologne IN 1906 ap-
pears To have thought fferentiy at that time
fthe military arrangements of the sxSncln
Emperor He say s., S In this second canl-
paign, the system of war'of the Emperor OF
the French discovered remarkable change.
Hitherto he had attacked his enemies with
the rapidity Of lightning, but this was the III,
ny of an overwhelming torrent he seemed
ia renounce his activity, to attain his END by
more studied marches. Hehazarded nothing !.
All his marches were 1nannuvres, in which
he studied the grounds, and reconnoltereea
places, which could be the most advantage
olls,. for all his future plans. We might thus J,
see, that, after having examined the ned OF
battle, upon which he had resolved to decide
the fate of the coalition, he made but very
small movements forward, ,contenting himself
with full understanding of those OF the enc
my, and malieuyred SO well, as to draw the
enemy to an attack, upon the spot, OF which
he has fully studied all the advantages. That
the Russians deceived by the rctrogade move
ment of Napoleon, should think that they
might attack with advantage, might be excas-
able, but why did not the Austrian general
discoverthe advantages which might arise to
the French. The fact was that some days be-
fore the battle of Austerlitz. the French em-
peror advanced before Brunn with his head
quarters, made one or two marches, and ad-
vanced his army, but soon returned to the
ground which he had already examined IN the
Austerlitz The Gazettes published instantly
that he. was in full retreat, and it was simple
enough, that the Russians pushed their .confl-
dence to rashness, whenthey saw Napoleon
do thatb them which he had never done
before. The event is well known. The writer
observes, 6 If the emperor Alexander has
been. content to check the French till the arrl-
val of the army of Bennigsen in Bohemia,
whence he might annoy thesleft ofthc French
army, and might have forced himself into
Pnessburg, and towards the Danube, he must
have embarrassed the French exceedingly
For the array of Bennissen united to that o.
the Archduke Ferdinand had such superiority
that,it must have forced It's way to the Da-
nube, and. endangered Brannau, the deposit
OF the whole French army. While the army
Of Bennigscn thus harrassed tha French on
the left, the emperor Alexander asid the arch
duke Charles might have directed their march
to Vienna, and without general action have
obliged the French to quit Brunn." This
knowledge Bennigsen had of thess arrange
ments. White thus informed of the talents
of the emperor Of the French, he will not,
probably. trust to the uniformity of the mill.
tary operations Of Napoleon.

Extract fs0m DR. Ara.ur Rrozvne's Sketches
When Sully or Clarendon compose history,
they speak from knowledge, and record facts

Yet what historian doubts to record these un-

more ancient history? Is not odd, that scarce
a man at the tive thinks himself acquainted

yet after the lapse of few years, when he is
much less likely to know it from the lapse of
