Having previously agreed with the Austrian Ge neral on the plan of attack on the pan of the flotilla, they took their positions at three o'clock, and at day light the thing commenced simultaneously (the first gun from the batteries being die signal) and conti. tilted without intermissiou till past six, when the boats were drawn off to replehish their ammunition and relies') the men. At one o'clock the attack was re. newel, and cont;nned till the expenditure of the am monition obliged us to retire. This was speedily *applied, and the flotiil t in readiness to return to ir posiiione • when the Austrian lire ceased, and I soon alter received a letter from the General ac quainting me that his batteries had been neat ly ruined, bait that they weuld be restored and ready to renew their fire at three o'clock the nest morning. The flotilla accorditigly rock their position in the eig%t, and at the hour tix.d a heavy tire was recom menced on all sides, and only ceased on ours for the ware: of ammunition ; at six o'clock we were soon in a state id ,}.:urn to our posts ; but the Austrian batte rits had been again knocked up, and it was now com pletely evideat that they were too tczole to product thu desired effect, or to support - tor any time the sa penor the which the enemy opposed to them from his eimunanding position.
