sonal revenge or hatred, leave the author
of them without excuse; but the same re-
suits caused by an effort to save the army
NAV be uStfiable on the StricteSt rules of
war.
Napoleon, both in his Memoirs and at
ST. Helena, does not cOrrObOrate the state
ments of English historians respecting
Davoust. In speaking OF the defense OF
Hamburg, he says that DavOust was
name abhOrred by the inhabitants, but
adds, when a General receives the de-
Tense of the city, with orders to maintain
it at all hazards, it is not easy for him
to receive the appreciation Of the inhabl-
tantS."
AT ST. Helena. where he had no motive
TO disguise the truth, Napoleon said: Il do
not think him bad character. He never
plundered for himself. He certainly levied
contributions, hut they were for the army.
1t is necessary for an army, especially
when besieged, to provide for itself"
In the campaign OF Russia Davoust dis
tinguished himself and his corps in almost
every great battle. He fought bravely at
yalentina and his corps suffered severely.
But alas! Gudin, at the head OF his immOr-
tai division with which he commenced the
battle OF Auerstadt, was here, while head
ing a charge, struck by cannon ball, and
borne dead from the field. The next morn
ing this division showed the marks OF the
fierce encounter they had sustained.
AS Napoleon rode past it, he saw moth
ing but skeletons OF regiments left in it.
The wearied soldiers, black with the smoke
of battle stood looking on their bent bayO-
nets, twisted in the fierce shock OF the day
before while the field around them ex-
hibited perfect wreck of OverthrOwn trees,
shattered wagons dead horses, and man
gied men. He was so deeply impressed
The National tribune., 1898-01-06

him to wipe his face, which was Gov
cred with frost. A loaf OF bread was oHereu
him. which he devoured with the eager
ness Of a starving man.
Segur relates an anecdote OF hlm when
called from the wreck OF the army to rams,
which was worthy OF Murat. Passing
through a small town with only two others,
where the Russians were daily expected,
their appearance enraged the already eX-
asperated populace, and they began to
press with murmurS and e1ecratIOnS,
around his carriage.
At length some OF the most violent at
tempted to unharnesS the horses, when
Davoust rushed among them, seized the
ringleader and dragging him along, bade
his servants fasten him behind his carr
age. The boldness of the action perfectly
stunned the mob, and without show OF
resistance they Immediately opened pas
sage for the carriage, and let it move I'M
touched through their midst, with its pris-
Oner lashed on behind. 4
When BOnaparte returned from Elba, Da-
voust, among the first to welcome him,
was made Minister of War. He IS ac-
cused OF having treated the fallen Napo-
leon after his second .oy cFthfOw like man
destitute alike of honor or shame. But
there is no proof he ever uttered the Ian
guage put into his mouth, and he held on
firmly to the last. He finally gave in his
adherence, though not in the most manly
Or heroic style, and returned to his country
seat. The next year, however, he obtained
permission to reside in Paris, and three
years after, 1919, he was given a seat in
the Chamber of Peers. He lived but four
years after this, and died in June, 1923, Of
a pulmonary affection. His son succeeded
to his wealth and his Peerage.

forced to work at the Notifications, and
ruinous contributions were levied, and
much distress produced, as is asserted,
they do not prove the epithet given him to
be merited.
The whole question turns on the fact
whether these things were necessary for
the defense OF the place and the salvation
of the army. The famine and pestilence
and death which besieged army usually
brings on the inhabitants, would, by this
mode of reasoning, stamp every commander,
of city as n monster, unless he surren-
dered without resistance.
There is no proof that Davoust did any
thing that his perilous position did not
render necessary. He defended himself
against a united army, and exhibited that
tenacity Of purpose and power OF will over
the most discouraging obstacles, which
rendered him illustrouS.
His exactionS in Poland were not for his
personal benefit, but for the maintainance
OF his troops, and it is unjust to stamp
commander as cruel because his situation
calls for severe measures.
Contributions levied for personal aggran-
dizement, and suffering inflicted from per-

airy of the two armies became engaged,
and Murat, wishing to support his own
with the infantry, put himself at the head
of one OF Davoust's divisions, and was
about to make charge, when the latter
stepped forth and forbade his men to
march declaring that the movement was
rash and perious. Murat appealed to the
gallantry OF the soldiers, and endeavored 10
lead them on, but the authority of Da-
voust prevailed.
Alter the battle was over, the "preux
chevaler" shut himself up in his tent and
gave way to a violent fit Of rage, declaring
that Davoust had insulted him. and he

out the consequences to his friends and
the army. He was persuaded to pocket
the insult, though in the effort to do 1T
tears started TO his eyes and the fearless
warrior wept that he could not avenge him
self.
But through all this campaign Davoust
was Il host in himself. When the retreat
from Moscow commenced hewas appointed
to command the rear-guard, which post he
held till his corps was almost annihilated,
and then he joined the Emperor.
DAvoUsr HARD PRESSED.
In the battle of Krasnoi, which Napo-
leon fought in order to save Davoust
whom the Russians threatened. to cut Off
the Marshal was so hard pressed that he
lost his baton and greater part of his
corps. Napoleon was ut krasnOi, and Da
vOust struggling up from SmOlenskO, en-
veloped in the enemy. s
Hearing of his Marshals peril he drew
his sword, saying: IL have long enough

on foot towards Smolensko. He soon de-
scried Daeoust coming up, but il was
sight enough to appal the stoutest heart
He was moving slowly forward perfectly
enveloped in CosSacks that formed dense
moving mass, of which he and his devoted
followers were the center. Added to this,
the French Marshal in his great efforts to
Join Napoleon was marching straight on n
superior force of the Russians. He saved

BATTLE OF THE GIANTS.
Davoust opened the "battle cf the giants"
at Borodino. AS he moved over the field
with his dense masses towards the flame
of the batteries, his horse, mortally woun-
ded, fell under him, and he himself re-
ceived blow, which, for awhile, rendered
him unable to- command his troops.
Recovering, however, he rushed in the
thickest of the fight just as Ney hurled
his corps on the center. These two illus
trious chiefs united their armies and
fought side by side, in that desperate, un-
paralleled struggle for the nights oi Senlo-
nowsl<ie.
Previous TO this, Davoust and Murat had
a quarrel, which well nigh ended in a
fight. Commanding the advance guard
together, they could not agree on the
measures to be adopted. The headlong
rashness of Murat seemed downright mad
ness TO the methodcai mind OF Davoust,
and the latter became insubordinate under
the command of the former.
