OF April; he whole line of troops from the

The first evclntions of he French will be
undoubtedly rapiI and momentmus IT ell

Russians, who have penetrated through
Poland and Prussia, and pushed ON into the
s5ates OF SAXony and Westpha.ia as far
West as Hamburg--leaving behind them
the most important fortre ss1s in the hancs
OF the French. These points will serve as
so MANY points OF reserve, or of railyng, TO
the advancing troops. And as a mathema
tical line IS formed by the flowing Of points
into each other, so these points OF reserve

other, Will serve as many ines Of opera
lions to the French armies, either TO inter
cept the retreat, or to drive the retiring
tide OF CossacAs faster before them.

Zic AND rhorn--which have Hitherto de-
