Bravery of the Russian Troops.

In spite of tbe enemy's numerical Inferiority* Napoleon had been thwarted at Eylau by the weather, by the unsurpassed bravery of the Russian soldiers, and by tbe able tactics of Bennigscn. The latter had not been worsted in the arbitrament of arms, yet the Emperor's character for resolution and energy had virtually defeated the Russians, and had given him not only a technical, but a real victory.—Century. A good man is kinder to his enemy than bad men are to their friends.— Bishop Hall.
