General Topology, chapter II, § 4. Relations between uniform spaces and compact spaces

A uniform space XX is compact if and only if it is Hausdorff and complete and can be covered by a finite number of VV-small sets, where VV is any entourage of XX.

This follows from Theorem 3 and Theorem 1 of no. 1.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
