It generally eccura, that mantruvres are made with the advance, or the head of an army ; but Butinaparte, in his present undertaking, seems/a have pushed his object so far, by the passage of the Aube vs.tft his whole army near Vitry, as to have left himself completely open to that bald and magnificent decision which seas immediately aloptel Buonaparte put his whole army in motion on the evening of the eitst for Vitry. That night he remained at Sominepuis ; on the foi -1 .wiag dr. , the advanced corps of his army arrived at Vary, and summoned the place.

It is singular buts curious tact, that Marshal Alarroont's advance was within a very short &suture on the night of the 42 in to Vitry. withoitt the enemy's knowing it was in the occupati,o) of the Allies.

But the principal brilliant movement of this day occurred after tho Allied troops in advance had passed through Charapermise ;a detached column of the enemy, of 5003 men, tinder the comrpand of Gen Ames, had been, making its way under the protection of Alarmonra corps, from the neighbourhood of Mouton trail, to join .Napolron with his grand army.
