his most distinguished soldiers. Gen.

Marshal Soult Duke of Dalmatia. The
eclipse of Essad Pasha from Albania
Montenegro are peculiar and uneX-
planned incidents OF a situation which,
however inexplicable at this hour. they
serve at least to revive the souvenirs
of these countries during the Napole-
onic period.
Ragusa in 1906 was then. as now. a
city of ten thousand people. croats,
Austrians, Turks. 1t had been IN turn

Treaty Of

ed the treaty of Campo Formio; it rec
ognized the victories at Marengo and
Hohenlinden. the possession Of Bel
GUM and the left bank of the Rhine
to France: the independence of the re-
publics of Batavia, Helvetia, Cisalpine
and Liguria (Genoa).
The treaty of Presbourg between
Napoleon and the Emperor of Austria
was dated December 20. 1905 (after
Austerlitz). Austria renowned a part
of her Venetian states, Dalmatia,
FriouL Istria, Trieste and that the
to the Kingdom of Italy, of which Ma
poleon was recognized as sovereign.
Austria recognized as kings the cleo
tors of Bavaria and Nuremberg. Aus
tria received in return the principality
of SalZbourg.
The treaty of Tilsit, dated JulyS, 1907,
between France on one part and Rus
STA and Prussia, reduced Prussia to
four provinces, PomeralIia, Brande-
ander abandoned to Napoleon the domi-
nation of occidental Europe. Napoleon
abandoned to Alexander the domination
of oriental Europe.
Prior to the french occupation OF the
eastern shore of the Adriatic the popu-
lations had not been governed by gov
ernments seriously DESTROYS of effacing
their ethnographical diversities and
thus unite them to a superior civlliza-
ton. The solicitude of the "Serenissime
republique" (Which was Venice) had
no other than a fiscal and military in
terest. The Venetian government limit
ed its powers in Illyria to the raising
of taxes, which were supportable be-
cause light; the enrolment of $4,000
men called "escalono.' and a refuge for
its fleets in the passes and deep har-
bors of the east coast. BY indifference
Venice respected the autonomy of the
country. The oligarchy of Saint-Marc
exercised only nominal authority: the
bureaucracy of Austria was energetic
and spirited, as attested by the six
coalitions it had organized against re-
nublican and imperial France. Would
Napoleon know better than Venice and
Austria the secret of Introducing civil
Jization in a country whose populations
were attached to their simple regime.
NAPOLEON unfortunately named as his
"nroyeditor" or civil governor of Dal-
malta one Dandolo. who was distin-
euished chemist of Venice, but anti
militarist and anti-religious. The mil
itary governor, as we have seen, was
Itra-militarist and ultra religious. The
incompatibility of the two men could not
have been more complete.

country which he would leave behind.
and which he would win over. He
sought to conciliate the clergy, which
his rival had alienated and antago-

depositary of moral influence. and of
which Marmont had said with justice:

vigorous defense of his Mexican

his view of Americas obligations for
