At the same time Jourdan was operating further east, and, sweeping up the valley of the Rhine, cleared the Austrians from Köln and Coblenz. Further along the Rhine the Prussians now only held Mainz on the French side of that river. To the south the generals of the Republic occupied all the passes of the Alps into Italy, and pushed triumphantly into Spain.
Departing from this, the basin of the St. Francis to the north of the portage road was explored, and the survey finished on the 17th October.

They made it write answers to sums that neither had calculated, and they made it give the names of Henry's relatives dead and gone also those that were living, whom David, who was operating it, did not know. The thing would not move for the man, but the boy's fingers on it made it fly.

And all this without the absolute promise of a penny reward to any one! In fact, from the first, The General taught his Officers that they must try to raise all expenses of the work in their Commands within the borders of the districts in which they were operating.
He assured Coningsby that the Church Commission was operating wonders, and that with private benevolence, he had himself subscribed 1,000l., for Lord Monmouth, we should soon have churches enough. The great question now was their architecture. Had George IV. lived all would have been right. They would have been built on the model of the Budhist pagoda.
