Genoa.

Suppose the above to represent Sardinia.
The Austrians have entered and are occupy
ing its northeast portion, and 80 far have en-
countered no real opposition. But they ap-
proach the two lines which the Sardinians
have fortifed-the river Dora, running north
and South, and the river Pc, running cast
and west. These two lines, ut right angles
to each other, may be supposed to meet at
Turin, the Royal City, which the Austrians
hope to capture.
1t is evident that the Austrians cannot pro-
coed westward to break through the line OF
the river Dora, without leaving their left
flank exposed to attack by the line of the riv-
or Pc. Nor can they proceed southwark to
break through the line Of the river Pc, with
out leaving their right flank exposed TO as
sault by the line Of the river Dora. Which
ever direction they choose, they have to guard
against an enemy menaoing their flank and
rear, besides the one in front. The only al
tentative 10 to divide their force, and assault
both lines simultaneously. But this involves
the necessity Of weakening their strength BY
dividing it.
The French, meantime, arc marching to
the aid Of the Snrdinians, by the two dotted
lines. Those who have come BY sea are land
ing at Genoa, and pushing up to reinforce
the line on the Pc. Those who have come
over the Alps are pressing forward from Su-
% to reinforce the line on the Dora. Az
both points are connected with Turin by rail-
way, the transit is easily made, while the
Austrians have the disadvantage Of being in
IN enemy's country. where roads will be
| blocked, bridges burned, fields flooded, and
| everything done to retard them. 1t looks
somewhat - il the easy victories which have
given the Austrians control OF . quarter of
the kingdom, were only trap to catch them
| between two lines Of troops, and crush them.
