GENERAL BOURBAKI’S CAMPAIGN. 145 
in spite of ice, so did Prince Frederick Charles, and indeed so to some extent did 
Chanzy. But there was an illustrious winter campaign in which a nation was 
forthwith overrun and conquered. On the 8th of November, 1808, Napoleon 
spread himself over a map in a tavernat Vittoria. Onthe 4th of December, 1808, 
Napoleon, after defeating four Spanish armies, who had the advantage of rivers 
and ranges of mountains for their defence, was in Madrid. That was a short 
and decisive winter campaign. Moreover, some of the principal events, in the 
last Russo-Turkish war were in the midst of snow in the Balkans. And again it 
just strikes me that the French conquered the Netherlands in a winter campaign 
in 1794-5. In point of fact the Dutch fleet in the Texel was captured in the ice, 
on the ice, and over the ice by a regiment of French Hussars (laughter). 
T again thank you Colonel Trench and gentlemen for your kind reception.
