Situated in the centre of the Place Vendome, formed of the brass

_Place de Victoires._

In the middle of this square was erected a colossal bronze statue of the
gallant General Desaix, who nobly fell at the battle of Marengo, when

was removed by order of the Bourbons, on their first restoration.

This grand undertaking was rendered navigable, and the basin, sluices,
&c. completely finished.
