The first day's march was to Utrickstein, an old town, with a c4stle, on the highest pinnacle of the Vorelberg mountains. The roads to it were full of every obstacle ihatshills, woods, ravines, morasses, anal roads that had never been- destined for wheel conveyances, could present; and were, in fact such, as, according to any usual military calculation, would have been considered as impracticable for the move. ;tents of a large army • infantry, cavalry, artillet y, add baggage; every ihing, however, Were pu.hed over them. The Russian 12-pounders frequently stuck in the Toad, but where six horses were riot stn . - fcient, twelve were tackled, and finally every thing was made to yield to -the perseverance and deter mined resolution, which has distinguished all the operations of this army. The troops, after their long march, were otntoned in several of the small moun t/in villages ; and corps of three thousand men 1 were allotted to some ; whose usual population would not amount to as many figtlelreds. The inhabitant; supplied their wants with cheerfulness in every thing. The soldiers were delighted, .10 they bad equal rea son to be satisfied with ea c h ether.
