The depths of the dark forest swallowed

sold France To the allies.
Ii is true, English historians, with that

enemies who, through treachery or weak
ness, injured the cause of Napoleon have
cndcavored To defend him, not only against
the charge of treason, but also of meffi-
cheney. Indeed, to throw much blame on
him would be to confess that the victory
OF Waterloo was owing more 10 accident
than To skill.
Still, Emmanuel Grouchy was a brave
man. and through a long and honorable
career sustained the reputation of an able
commander. \ Count OF the ancient
regime, he was born at Paris in 700, and
entered the service when only II years of
age.
At 10 he was an officer in the Kings
booy-guard, but threw up his commission
at the breaking out of the Revolution, and
Joined the cause of the people, and was
made Colonel of a regiment of dragons.
Soon after. however, the Republican Gov
eminent decreed that no person of noble
birth should hold any rank in the army,
and he was left without employment. He
retired into the country awhile, but be
coming weary of his inactive life, entered
the National Guards as private, and
fought against the Nendeans. He seemed
TO have Joined the cause of freedom sin
cerely. and said:
Though am not allowed TO fight at the
head of the Republican phalanxes, they
cannot prevent me from shedding my blood
in the cause of the people"
In 1.gI. however, he relnStdtPd
his former rank of commander of regiment
OF dragons, and the next year was placed
at the head of all the cavalry in Savoy and
the Alps. In the campaign of 1894, against
the EendeanS, he distinguished himself,
especially at QUeberon, where he attacked
and defeated the emigrants; and the next
year he was made General of Division.
AIDING THE IRISH.
In 1896 he was Joined to the expedition
under Hoche, 10 aid the Irish in their at
tempts to recover their liberty. The fleet
was dispersed by storm, and only por-
ton OF it reached Bantry Bay; yet still
Grouchy, with only 5000 men under his
command, was willing TO land, but was
overrulcd by Admiral Bouvet, and the ex-
pedition abandoned.
In 1898 he was sent into Piedmont as
Commander n-C hief of the forces there,
and took possession of the country, and
the next year fought gallantly at the dis
astrous battle of Now.
A short time previous TO this engage
ment, Joubert was appointed TO supersede
Moreau in the command OF the dispirited
Army OF Italy, which had met with nothing
but defeat since Bonaparte's departure for
Egypt. just married, he left his young
wife, saying:
"You will see me again either dead or
victorious"

sides with his old commander; for he had
fought by his side ut Novi, and in the
forests Of Hohenlinden, and could not bear
TO see him disgraced.
Napoleon however retained him in com
mand, thou gin he did not honor him with
those places OF trust TO which his long
services entitled him.
AT THE BATTLE OF FRIEDLAND.
But in 1907 at the battle of Friedland, he
was put over the cavalry OF the left wing
and charged with his accustomed i'm
petuOsity, rendering efficient aid in Secur-
ing the victory. He soon after, in reward
for his bravery, was named Grand Eagle of
the Legion of Honor, made Count OF the
Empire, and Commander of the Iron Crown.
The next year he was sent with Murat
into SPAIN and in the insurrection in
Madrid-the commencement of the Spanish
war-he had horse shot under him while
charging on the mob. After the riot was
quelled Murat, enraged at the slaughter of
his troops by the populace, ordered all the
