' the (original) plan oi tho campaign was

i‘hulunc. As noon us the troops should have been concentrated at the points in- dicated, it was the Emperor‘s purpose to immediately unite the two armies oi llciz and Strasbourg, and at the head of 250.000 men to cross to llbiuc tit Muxnn leaving at his right the fortress of Ru- stadt. and at his lctt. um ofGermeruhclm. I llcuching the other side of tho Rhine, he; would have forced the States of the! South to observe neutrality, and would E then have hurried on to encounter the? l‘ruseious. Whilst this movement wus‘ in course of execution, the 50,000 rncn.‘ nt minions, under the command of Mar-f nlml szrobcrt, were to proceed to Meir": to protect the rear ot' the army and,“ guard the northeastern frontier. At tbc' some time our tlcct cruising in the llultic, would have hclil stationary, in the pot'ts' of Prussia, it part of the enemy’s threes, obliged to ill-lend the coast threatened: with invasion. The sole chance of the plan's succumb, lug: was to surpass the unciin iu i'npiililyl of movement. To accomplish this it wuul uccvssury to muster in u very few days, 1’ at the. points decided upon, not only the} number-of mcn required, but also the,! essential accessories ol' the projected 1 campaign, such as wagon thllp:ig('t€,l artillery parks, pontoon train, gnnbouts; to cover the passage of the llliine, andM ﬁnally, the commisnot'int lit‘ccssut'y to? supply a large army on the march. rm: rui'ttimu mmmvuo. . The Emperor fluttered bimscli‘with the hope of attaining these icanlte, and in: this he was deceit-ml. I The doluys incurred arose, in a great: measure, from the defects of our military i organization, us it has existed for thc, lust ﬁfty years, and which revealed them-l selves from the very beginning. lustcud‘ oi having, us is the case with l’r:issi:i,; army corpn always in on organized chitin: recruited in the province itself, and pns-‘ sunning on the spot theirI mah’riv'l uml' complete accessories, in France the; troops composing an Army are dispersed 7 over the whole country, while the mm, (on?! is stored in ditlcrcut cities, inl crowded magazines. .

The Emperor gave precise orders to the effect that the iti‘rivnl of the missing regiments should be pushed on ; but he was obeyed slowly, excuse being made that it was impossible to lcurc Algeria, l’uris and Lyons without gm‘l'lﬂuiiﬂ.
