• THE NATIONAL REGISTER. iinated a connect of two days, which will be ever to the annals of the world, and in the history of war. lost ohstinate and bloody that has occurred since the , nt of the Freecii Revolution. It was decisive for the Austrian anus, for the preservation of the Mo for thecnrsection of the public opinion. r) hasentered upon a new and brilliant career, and :onfidtace it has manifested in its own energies, has .ay to new victories. The enemy's cavalry has seer hut hitherto uatried glory dissipated h . ; lie' masses rilians, whose can' intrepidity it unable to mi di.% and artillery have surpassed themselves in va the space of two slays have performed achieve- Lent for a w hole campaign. Three pieces of can roe, seven ammunition waggons, seventeen thousand French muskets, and about three !liaising' cuirasses, ft II into the hands of the conqueror. The loss on both sides was very great; this, and the circumstance that very few prisoners were taken by either party, proves the determination of the combatants ei ther to conquer or die. The arm) laments the death of eighty-seven supe r-We officers, and four thousand one hundred and ninety-nine su balterns and privates. Lieutenant-Generals Prince Bohan, Heelovich, Weber, and Fretwl General:4 W inzingerode, Grill, Neustader, Siegenthal, Collmialo, May lloheefeld, and Bereseh, six hundred and sixty three officers, awl fifteen thousana six hundred and fifty-one su baltern, and a cetates were wounded. Of these Field-Marshal Wehei - , eight officers, and eight hundred and twenty-nine men were taken prisuners by the enemy. The hiss of the enemy was prodigious, and exceeds all expec tation. It can only be accounted for bt the e'l'ect of our con centric fire on an exceedingly confined field of battle w here all the batteries crossed one another, and calculated by the follow ing authentic data. Generals Lasnes, D'Espagne, St. Hilaire, and Albuquerque are dead ; ftlassena, Ilessieres, Molitor, itou def. Legruml, laisnile, and two brothers Legrange wounded; Durostwl, anti Polder taken. Upwards of it;00 men, and an iininem , e number of hares were buried on the field of battle; 5000 and same hundred %%minded lie in our hospitals. In Vienna aud the suburbs there are a. present In entysnine thousand seven hen :fed and be rut' - three t%oundcd; many were carried to St. Pollen, Epos, anti a , far as Linz ; 2,300 were taken. Seviral }much-yds of corpses Hooted down the Danube, anti are stilt dails thrown upon its shores; many met their death in • the ista»d of I.obau, and since the t% ater ha. fallen in the smaller arms of the river. innumerable bodies, thus consigned by their comrades to everlasting oblivion, have become visible. The burvin : = ' of the sufferers is not 'et over, and a pestilential air is %vatted from the theatre of death. His Imperial Bighness, the Generalissimo, has indeed undertaken the duty so dear to his heart, of acquainting the ftlemarch and the country with the names of those who took the most active share in the achieve ments e.f [lase ,loriotts days ; but he acknowledges with pro found emotion, tam atnnist the rivalship of the highest military virtues, it is seared' possible to distinguish the most valiant, nod declares all tke soldiers of Aspern worthy of public - grafi t tide. His Imperial Highness considers the intelligent dispositions of th... Chief of his siatr, General Baron Wimpffen, and his inces sant exertions, as the foundation of the victory. The officers . • commanding corps have rendered themselves deserving of the highest favours by micomtnon devotedness, personal bravery,' warut attachment to their Sovereign, and their high sense of - hontlur. Their names will be trunsiiitied to postern; with the richievemeots of the valiant troops who were under their direc tion. Colonel Smola, of the artiller), by his inclefatigableaeti vity in the proper application of the ordnance, and his yklit• known bravery, rendered the most important services. Here follows a list of the numerous Officers who distinguished themselves on this occasion. The Gazette concludes thus:— Alany individual traits of heroism are not yet known, and cniisequently cannot be recorded. Thus corporal Prager of Zettivitz's, tonk prisoner one of she enemy's Chefs d'Eseadron before the mass of his battalion. Corporals Doanar and lloruer, and the privates PretNich, Ilirmah, and Schmerha, of the bat talion of Prince Kinsky's Legion, were cut off by a fire of mus ketry from their corps, and surrounded by the enemy's cavalry ; they fought their way through, and rejoined their battalion. The Oberjager Fickerberger and the Unterjager Schaffer of the 2 I battalion or Jolters penetrated into the French Emperor's i;oard, and seized .one of the enemy's Captains in the midst of ! , ;t4 ra::!•*. Th.-private Larda, of Duke Albert's cuirassiers, retook a a-pounder w hich had fallen into the enemy's hands, and brought it back with its eqttipage. Sedeant Pap, of C has tellar's, snatched the cotton.) of ;its battalion from the hand: of the ding First-Lieutenant Ca who himself taken it from the Ensign who had been killed, and headi..l his troop wi;h the most exemplary intrepidity. Atilon4 the artillery tiler.- are • few but what highly diitiaguished themselves by deeds of the noblest daring, and contempt of every danger.
