On the 27th it crossed the Chiffa and had its first serious engagement with the caliph of Milianah^s cavalry on the banks of the Oued Yer. The details of this wonderful expedition, which recalls Massena^s battles amid the clouds, are well known. In the Atlas Mountains as in the Alps the French soldier set foot upon crags to which it would seem that only a chamois could leap. The armies battled between the sky and the abyss ; he who was wounded was killed, he who was killed was dashed to pieces.... The marshal gave the place of honour to the due d'Orleans ; he entrusted to him the task of carrying the position. It was carried by the 23rd and the 84th regiments. I have written elsewhere, in an unknown book com- posed for the army, an account of that prodigious struggle which gave us the emir^s two towns of Milianah and Medeah.^ During this period there was an appearance of making ready for European war. The attitude of the sovereigns was so aggressive that we were compelled for very shame to make a semblance of preparations ; but Europe knew only too well our lack of resources.
