THE FIRST NAFOLEOX,
The CnmpaUn f 1SII.
It may be interesting at the pioRcnt crisis
of the affairs of France to turn to the pages
of Joiuini for a cloar description of the uia
ttoruvres by which Napoleon, in 1811, ro
asted the allied armies in their inarch on
Taris. Such a description will be easily in
telligible by the help of any of the numerous
maps of the neat of the ponding war which
are published in the newspapers. At the
outset of the campaign lilucher passed the
llhine near Mayonee, and advanced on Naucy.
"Wittgenstein passed the llhine at ISrisah, and
crossed the Vosgos mountains. Schwartzen
berg, with the grand allied army, entered
Trance on the Bide of Switzerland. The
various corps of the Trench army, yielding
to the enormouB superiority cf the enemy,
concentrated towards Chalons. The cam
paign opened with a battle at Biienne, about
. midway between Troyea and Joinville, in
which Napoleon was defeated, so thut ill-suo-cess
at the beginning combined with nume
rical inferiority to depress his troops. After
this battle, if the allies had followed in
mass tie road to Paris by Trojes, they might
Lave reached the gates of the capital. This
was the opinion of the Emperor Alexander,
but the allied Generals wished to manoeuvre.
Schwaitzenberg, with the graud army,
crossed the An be, and marched with slow and
uncertain steps on Troyea to act in tho basin
of the Seine. Blucher was to operate in tho
valley of the Marne by Eporney, Dormans,
Chateau-Thierry, and Ea Terte-sous-Jouarre.
The de&ire of preceding his colleague to
l'aris drew him into a series of flso move
ments, of which Napoleon immediately re
solved to take advantage. lie loft Troyes on
the Gth of February, and passed the Seine at
Nogent on the 7th. Blncher continued to
xtend himself along the Marne, threatening
Meaux. Napoleon left twenty thousand men
with Oudinot and Victor to defend the course
of tho Seine, and the roads from Troyes to
TarU, against the grand allied army, and with
the remaining twenty-live thousand marched
from Nogent to Sezaine. A llussian division
posted at Champ-Aubert was tirst attacked
and destroyed. The position thus gained cut
Blucher's army in two. Tho corp3 of Sackon
and York were defeated at Montmirail, and
Blucher himself was defeated at Vaux
Champs. "The Prussian Marshal, distin
guished for Lis operations in Silesia and Sax
ony, Beemed blinded by hatred and presump
tion." Blncher retired after defeat on Chalons,
;where he was joined by the corps of Sackon
and York, who had made a long detour by
Kheims. His army was weakened by the loss
of twenty thousand men, but a reiuforcement
received at Chalons restored its strength. Not
withstanding this, the disorder in his army was
bo great that if Napoleon had pu.shed it warmly
he would have annihilated it. But the danger
of the capital called him in another direction.
"This was unfortunate, for in war, as in
emithery, it is necessary to strike while the
iron is hot." While Napoleon was thus occu
pied on the Marne, Paris was threatened on
the Bide of the Seine. Tho marshals whom
he had left on the roads from Troyes to Paris
were too weak to arrest the grand army of
the allies if it acted together and with vigor;
but Schwartzenburg was tied down by
the instructions of his Cabinet, which had
ordered him not to pass the Seine. All mili
tary dispositions were made subordinate to the
political thermometer of the Congress of Cha
tillon. Nevertheless the grand army of the
allies made such progress as filled Paris with
alarm. Uudinot and victor had fallen back
from Nogent by Nangis on Ooigues. Courier
after courier entreated Napoleon to come to
the assistance of his capital. He was now
ready to do so, as Blucher's army, thrown
back on Chfdons, gave him no more in
quietude. He left Marmont with ten thou
sand men at Etoges to observe Blucher, and
with his Guard he quitted Montmirail,
and marched on Guignes. Convinced that
it was oely by extreme activity that he could
compensate for his inferiority in numbers, he
attacked the allied army successfully at Nan
gis and Montereau. These attacks dis
. couraged tho allies, and Schwartzenberg re
tired on Troyes, soliciting Blucher to fly to
bis assistance. Napoleon passed the Seine at
Montereau, and marched on Troyes. The
grand army of the allies concentrated at
Troyes occupied both banks of the Seine.
Blucher, coming from Chalons by Arcis, was
at Mery, and in immediate connection with
Schwartzenberg. Napoleon expected that
the allies would profit by the union of such
large forces to offer Lira a decisive battle.
He was resolved to accept it; but to his as
tonishment they continued their retreat.
This result had been attained on the 22d
February by the employment of 170,000 allied
troops against 70,000 French troops. These
successes made Napoleon hope that a national
movement would expel the invader from
French territory. But his expectation was
disappointed. Meantime the Emperor Alex
ander desired that the war might bo con
ducted in a more military manner. It was
therefore decided that the grand army should
remain on the defensive, while Blucher should
operate with 100,000 men in the valley of the
Marne. Accordingly the Prussiaa Marshal
pushed back the corps of Mortier and Mar
mont as far as Meaux, but here his progress
was arrested by the appearance of Napoleon
in his rear. The grand army having retired
beyond Troyes, Napoleon marched thence by
Arcis and Sezaine to Epernay, and thence to
La Ferte-sous-Jouarre on tho Marne. Blucher
now saw the necessity of retreat, but this
was no easy matter. Napoleon was in a po
sition to intercept the road to Chalons and
llheims. The only road which remained
open was that to Soissons. Napoleon had
now btroDg Lopes of destroying Blucher's
army, which, Laving no per
manent bridge over the Aisne, would be
thrown on that river and exposed to ruin.
Unfortunately the garrison of Soissons was
commanded by a weak officer, who was inti
midated into capitulating to the allies at the
moment when Napoleon's guns were heard.
Blucher, fortunate in escaping this imminent
peril, passed the Aisne in the night of the 3d
ol March, ana established himself on the
right bank of this river, between Soissons
and Craone. The loss of Soissons deranged
' Napoleon's plan, but he determined to con
tinue to manoeuvre against the enemy's left,
with the Lope of cutting him off from Laon.
and of throwing him into tho aegis formed by
the Aisne and Uise. lae battlaof Craone fol
lowed. It was a barren victory for the French.
as they lost as many men as the allies, and
could not nearly so well spare them. Blucher
now assembled all his army at Lion, and it
numbered 100,000 men. Napoleon, Bays Jo-
naim, had only d.,uuu. ".but we were in
situation not to count our enemies." If Na
poleon did not attack, the allies would take
the initiative. The battle of Laon lasted a
whole day without any decisive result. In
the night Blucher surprised Marmont's corps
of Napolecn's army, and took from it 200
prisoners and forty guns. .nevertheless,
Napoleon vainly persevered next day in try
ing to make an impression on the ullies. He
tlen fell back ou Soissons, and repassed the
Aisne. Success was now absolutely necessary
to remove the bad impression of the retreat
from Laon, and fortune, or rather the fault
of a llussian General, furnished an occasion.
Count St. Priest, commanding a new corps
of twelve thousand men, placed himself at
Bhieuis between the grand army of the allies
end that of Blucher. Napoleon saw that it would
be easy to defeat this corps alone, and ha put
himself in march on ltheims, leaving Mortier
with 12,000 men at Soissons. St. Priest's
corps was routed, and himself killed. Napo
leon remained three days at Kheims to give
pome repose to his troops before carrying
them on the Anbe and Soiuo, where the grand
army of the allies had taken the offensive.
Schwartzenberg had returned to TroyeR, and
remained there ten days waiting for intelli
gence from Blncher. The news of Napoleon's
repnlso from Laon excited his ardor, and he
determined to advance. But ho did this with
the greatest caution. lie pushed back Mao
doDald as far as Maison llonge, between
Frovius and Nangis; but here he heard of
Napoleon's approach, and gave himself up to
Lis habitual perplexities and alarms about his
Hanks and rear. J lis renewed retreat tempted
Napoleon to pursue without even waiting for
the whole of his small available force.
Tho battle of Arcis-B'ir-Aube, which fol
lowed on tho 20th of March, may be regarded
ns the turnirg-point of this wonderful cam
paign. Tho Emperor Alexander began to be
wearied of these indecisive movements, and
he declared in council that they must unite
with .blucuer and act in a sincrle mass on
Paris. In accordance with the resolution of
this council the allied army concontralod
itself on Arcis, and attacked tho French army
whicli was then on both sides of the Aube.
The bridges on this river wero only held by
the personal exertions of Napoleon, whoso
left wing would have been lost if the allies
could have severed his communications.
During tho night Napoleon was considerably
reintorced, and, thinking that Hchwartzenborg
naci lougnt oniy to cover ms retreat, he
proposed to pursue the allies in the mornmcr.
But tho allies, instead of retiring, had united
all their forces and prepared for battle. To
accept this battlo with a great disparity of
force, in a vast plain, with a miry river in the
rear, would have exposed Napoleon's last
resources to destruction. Imperious neces
sity imposed a retreat, which was facilitated
by the cautious advance of tho allies, who
lad expected to be themselves attacked.
The historian now explains tho reasons which
induced Napoleon to throw himself on
the communications of the allies. Only
extreme measures could afford him a
chance of safety. The fate of
Fiance depended on him alone, and no place
was of importance except made so by his
presence, io maKo peace nnd save the Em
pire, it was necessary to replant tho French
eagles on the lihine. lie resolved, therefore.
to throw himself by St. Dizier towards th9
Upper Mense. Ho there expected strong re
inforcements from the garrisons of Lorraine
and Alsace, and by raisins the departments
which had been overrun by the enemy he
would threaten the line of operations of tho
grand aimy. By thus compolling the enemy
to retrace nis steps, he would draw him on
ground favorable for his own strategic opera
tions, lie would leavo Paris exposed,
but this was of little importance to
Napoleon, whose capital was at Lis
own Leadquartors. Accordingly, Napo
leon marched from Arcis-sur-Aube by
Yitry to St. Dizier, which he reached on tha
Sou of March. Schwartzenberg, instead of
retreating towards Troyes, as was expected,
crossod the Aube and advanced towards Yitry.
to follow Napoleon and connect himself with
Blucher. The Prussian Marshal, unable to
believe that ne had gained a victory at Laon.
and intimidated by the defeat of St. Priest's
corps, had remained inactive for ten days
behind tho Aisne. He then detichod a strong
force of cavalry to Ilheims and himself ad
vanced towards Soissons. Hereupon Mar-
rsont and Mortier united their small forces at
Tismes, which is on the Aisne, about midway
betw een Kheims and Soissons. "Thus," says
Jomini, "the two grand armies of the ene
my, instead of pursuing diverging lines, con
centrated their forces towards a single line at
the very moment that Napoleon's two little
armies separated from each other. The
two Trench Marshals marched from Tismes
southwest to Tere-cn-Tardenois, and it is
said that Napoleon's order to join him at
Yitry did not reach them until Ihey arrived
at this latter place. It was then impossible
for them to march between the. two converg
ing armies of tho allies to join Napoleon,
and after unsuccessfully attempting such a
march they were necessarily thrown back on
Paris. YVe may roughly describe the position
by saying that Blucher and Schwartzenberg
were approaching one another from north
and south while Napoleon and bis two mar
shals were separating from one another
by marching, the former to the east
and the litter to the west. Napoleon's
plan Lad become known to the allies by an
intercepted courier, and the Emperor Alex
ander proposed to a cocterence of generals
the question whether it was more advisable
to advance on Paris without troubling them
selves about Napoleon's move on Lorraine,
or whether the allies should fall baok on the
Khino. All agreed that the lirat was the pre
ferable course. The resolution was commu
nicated to Blucher, and the two armies, now
in full communication, prepared to march on
Paris by the roads from Yitry to Sezaine, and
from Chalons to Montmirail. A strong f oroe
of cavalry belonging to Bluchers army
marched from Yitry on St. Dizier to cover
these movements, and make Napoleon believe
he was followed by the w Lola armyof Schwart
zenberg. Napoleon had been at Deulevent
for twenty-four hours, in painful uncertainty,
when an enemy's foroe was seen approaching
from Dizier. The French cavalry immediately
attacked this enemy and drove him on Bar-le-Duo
and St. Mihiel. "What was Napo
leon's astonishment when he learned from
the prisonors that it was the army of Blacher
that he had before him: lie stopped at be,
Dizier, aDd on the 27th made a forced recon
noitsance on Yitry. The two marshals had
marched in Lis support from Fere-en-Tarde-nois
to CLateau-'J Lieiry on the Marne, and
thence to Frere-Champenoise, on the road to
Yitry. Here they were overpowered by
superior numbers, defeated, and forced back
on Paris. Napoleon hereupon concentrated
Lis own troops on Troyes, and hurried in per
son along the Seine towards the capital. The
very last offensive movement which he per
formed before he determined to march on Paris
was an advance of cavalry, whioli put Lis
fatLer-in-law, the Emperor of Austria, to
fligLt. Near Fontainebleau Napoleon met
the cavalry of Mortier's corpB. "TLe army
of the marshals was following close at hand,
Paris then Lad fallen." The Marshals, after
defending the heights of Belleville and Mont-
martre until 4 y. U. ou the 2'Jth of March,
i in rendered Paris, and withdrew their troops
in the night towards Fontainebleau, where
they met Napoleon. His abdication took
place on the 0th of April. He had quitted
l'aris on the 2-tb of January to begin a cam
paign which Jomini regarded, with thoso of
lKi.'i ei.d lKO'.i, as "tho most meuioraUd and
etitttitic of modtrn times.
