' .Voiuvre of Iforte Artillery, by Gen-j ral Kosciusko ; written at Paris in the year laoO, av the request of General William It. Davie,. then Envoy from Uie United States to France. MANOEUVRES. The whole science of Field Artillery consists in knowing how to perform the lollowing ma noeuvres with the utmost facility, precision and promptitude. ' 1. io mirch in advance and in order of battle. ty'; 2. To retreaf in good order and in the same form. 3. To march in column, advancing or re treating. 1 4. To (ire upon the enemy while advancing. 5. To fire upon the enemy while retreating. G. To form front in any direction, and r 7. To fire upon the memy in flank, on cither the right or Lit. In ordefto execute these with the utmost celerity, so that the enemy may suffer the ef tectol the attack before hecanperceive its cause, and being unsuspicious of the qutwter from which it comes, or the time at which it 18 made, he may be unprepared to resist or avoid it, the aid oi horses is indispensable and the' rapidi ty ol their motion, in comparison to the ordina ry and laborious one of men with drag ropes, constitutes the whole advantage that Horse Ar tillery has over that of the field, which is Com mon to all armies. Whenever, therefore, the pieces are placed in battery, they are to be con sidered as Field Artillery in general, and the action is to be conducted accordingly. It is with this view that the following Manoeuvres lor a Company oi Horse Artillery has been Adopted. - Tlie company being composed pf four offi cers and a competent number of gunners and privates, the captain of course commands the whole.; the second captain and first lieutenant have under them the command of the right and left half battery, and they repeat, each to his own command, the orders given by the cap tain for the whole The captain should take his station in the centre, when in action, vfn der ail circumstances, or its near to it as these I circumstances may permir,, so that his orders AO. .vavs viU .

The lcnjrth of the rop lietwecnthe trail gnd the limber, to which the horses arts larnessed, is determined by Uie, nature of the grouri i 1 if it be even, alnnit twelve feet will be suffi.-ient; if rough, it may be extended to eighteen feet, 'and even toOi a if 'here should be intervening steep lulls, letting out and ta king in as thqse circumstances may require at ttsj guides of ttjc limber. " .v ,. .,'-'' The drag is only fixed for manomvtes in the field, for advancing And retreating before an enemy, and all iera. tions of exercise 1 for mere .travelling the carriage is fixed, to the limber in the usual way, and the drag is wholly wound round tlie guides so as to be always ready and out of the way. Translator. , ' , ' ' FoUr-poimders and six-pouuflers appear to be too near' eacn ouier as to caliber, and might perhaps create fom confusion in case of the ammunition getting mixxl in fh heal of action. Some au'.hors have designai foAr-poun-ders and eight pounder's as the proper calibers. Oonsl. dering that four pounder is. of a' relatively pmall power, and require as much labour, and is attended with ax much dilnculty as A six-pounder in transportation And alt the manoeuvres t Considering also that in this country Vie roads are generally worse than in Europe, especially among our woods, wliich abound in stumps, loirs, and other obstacles, would it not be, better to have six instead of eight-pounders. ' If thes- considerations have weiplit, it would be better to form the company 'with ix uix-poim(t ei-s and two houitzers, thereby obtaining a meanof pow er and a mean of di flic ulties, With a uniformity of caliber.
