necessarily AN ovcrmatch for the Austrians.
This. therefore, is another point of the supe-
riority ct the French system, that the French
by theirversatit,y, are seldom so routed, but
what they can re assemble, whilst the Aus
TRAPS. once broken, are like glass, no art can
put them together without new creative
process, This peculiar system of the Aus
TRAN army renders It equally incompetent to
pursue any advantage. In a word, any thing
which dissol, cs the mass, which breaks that
compactness. which constitutes the strength
OF the Austrian army, annihilates its power.
On the defensive, and whilst they remain i'm
"a mass, and on a point, the Austrian army is
the best In, the Universe. But its strength is
when 1t begins to move. When its ranks
open, whether in advance or pursuit, the ad
vantage is necessarily ont the side of those who
are most flexible. The French fight on the
principle of the Macedonian phalanx, & re-
treat ON the principle of the Parthians. BY
the union of these two principles, compact
ness IN attack, and a most peculiar felicity in
raiving in a retreat, the French have an
linvincible superiority over the Austrians.
and as long as their relative systems shall
remain the same, SO long will the events of
every campaign, if not OF every battle, be
uniform.
The French bulletins give an account of
the battles, which. so exactly corresponds
| with these principles, that we conceive it
unnecessary,to say any lhingas to their i'm
mediate applications The French, conf
dent in their superiority, make no disguise /;
they doubtless exaggerate in the mos ex
IRENE degree, bur with due allowances for
such exaggeration, their accounts may be
depended upon. They are incomparably
superior to the meagre narratives which are
ordinarily given in the German papers,
Let any one. for example. compare the
French bulletins and the Prague Gazettes,
and then decide OIL the superiority
| A circumstance has been stated. which
! may possibly have operated not. little to
produce the disaster, which has bufalen the
army of the Emperor Francis Napoleon
! Carried with him into Germany very large
sum OF money, (about two millions sterling,
mostly in Napoieons.) with the intention Of
applying it TO the purposes of Corruption in
the Austrian army. Past experience gives
us no REASON to doubt the fact; and we are
| sorry to add, that the same experience fur.
nishes Us with abundant reason to dread the
efficacy of such an engine. The misfortune
is, that a similar weapon cannot be welded
with equal efficacy against the aggressor
for Generals who hope to receive crowns
and Kingdoms, as the reward Of their at
tachment to their chief, may take brides,
but will not betray their masters.
