duke Fntisels's Cuirassiers ; the rOrmer, treaded by its gallant Colonel, Rossetti, frustrated the re peated assaults of the enemy by coutiter.attacks, by which they at length put a stop to his imps. tuous advasar, sad completely repulsed him with considerable lees. In these conflicts, the French General of Diehl's', Derosnel, &perry to the Em. peror, was takes prisoner a few pares from him, as was also General Fouler, Equerry to the Em press, after having been slightly wounded. Not withstanding the fire of • the musketry which no* ensiled, the Prince ordered a general advance, by which the enemy was straitened in the etligne. event between Esslingen) and Aspern, but on ac count of the finking fire from Esslingen, could not be pursued any further. The fire of his guns was answered with spirit by the horse artillery. About seven in the evening 3000 horse were again detached towards the point *of union between the' cavalry of the corps of reserve and the left wing of Prlice Hohenzollern- and fell en masse upon the brigades of Cuirassiers of Generals Kroyher, Klary, and Siegenthal ; but by the steady in. trepidity of the Blankcnstein's and ltiesch's re giments, who with the utmost galluutry made a sudden attack on the enemy's links, his cavalry was again' repulsed, and part of it, which had fallen upon some of the regiments of the new le-1 vies, placed in the third line, was cut oft and there ! taken. Meanwhile night carne od, and it was passed by the Prince in thu Last state of preparation ou the ground which he had gAiocd from the enemy. For the first time Napolents had sustained a de feat in Germany. From this moment he was re_ dead to the rank of hold and suceessful Gene. rals, who, like himself, after a long series of de structive achievements, experienced the vidasitades of fortune. The charm of his invincibility w as dissolved. Nu longer the spoiled Child ot r For. tune; by pUsterity he will be characterizA as the sport of the tickle goddess. New hopes begin to animate the oppressed nations. To the Austrian Army the 21st of May was a grand and glorious eposo, that most inspire it with a consciousness of its strength, and a confidence lu its energies. Overwhelmed . by our irresistible infantry, its proud opponents were extended in the dust, *ad the presence of theie hitherto unconquered Em. peror was no longer capable of snatching from the heroes of Austria the laurels which they had ac golfed. Napoleon's glory was obviously at stake. New efforts were to be expected the following day ; but he was also obliged to fight for his existence. By means of fire-ships sent down the Danube, the Archduke had caused the enemy's bridge on the Lobau to be broken down, and its repairs would take up several hours. Meanwhile: Napoleon had already in the evening been joined by the corps of General Oudinot ; and ell the disposable troops followed from Vienna and the Upper Danube, and were transported across the river in vessels as fast as they arrived. The Archduke, on his part, ordered the Grenadier Corps which had not had any share in the first engagement, to advance from its pasitiaa near Gerasdorf to Breitailee; aad the ,`hart eight was scarcely suincient to complete the respective preparations fur the c.ouuusincemeat of a second tragedy. sArms or Til E 43n Op MAY. COL'S or LI 111.7TEN.1 NT.GOIREILAL 111 L LEL. With the morning's dawn the enemy reuewed his attacks, which tar surpassed iu impetuosity those of the preceding day. It was a conflict of valour and mutual exasperation. Scarcely had the French guards compelled Genera! Wacquant , to abandon Aspern, when the regiment of Klebck again penetrated into the burning village, drove back the choicest troops of the enemy, and en. gaged in a new contest in the midst of the coons. gration, till, at the expiration of an hour, it was also obliged to give way. The regiment of Ben. juvsky now rushed in, and at the first onset gained possession of the churchyard, the calls of which Field. Marshal. Lieutenant Hiller immediately or. dered the first division of pioneers to pull down, and the church, together with the parsonage, to bc set on fire. Thus was this regiment, sup. ported by some battalions, commanded by Gen. Bianchi, at length enabled to maintain itself at the eatrancc of the village, after overcoming the resistance, bordering on despair, opposed by the flower of the French army. Neither could the enemy produce any farther .fleet upon the bushy meadow, after Lieutenant. General Hiller had ordered the force there to be supported by two battalions of Anton Mittrow. sky's and a battery ; on which the Jagers, St. George's, and two battalions of Vienna Volunteers, drove him from his advantageous position, which he never afterwards attempted to recover. At about this One the left wing of the corps was likewise placed in security by three batteries sent by the Lieutenant-General to support the General of Cavalry, Count Scilegactle, and the latter main. twined his ground against the most desperate at. tacks of the enemy. The Lieutenant-General Hiller kept his position on the left flank of the enemy, and the victory was &Tido:din this quarter. The corps was therefore again farmed in two lints, sad thus awaited the approaching ere sts. coats OF TUR OVIRRAL OF CAVALRY COUST IBELLZO.II/DE. Count Belleprde, having received a message from Gen. Wacquant that the enemy was assess• tiling in force before Aspern, towards the bushy meadow, and apparently had in view an assault upon that point, was just going to throw a fresh battalion of Argenteu's into Aipern, when tho enemy, in heavy columns of infantry and cavalry, supported liy 3 numerous artillery, began to ad ance upon he centre of the corps in the plain. The troops stationed at Aspern, exhausted as they were with the incessant fire kept up during the night, were unable to withstand the impetu osity of the attack ; their ammunition, both fur artillery and musquetry, bran to fail, and Gen. Wacquant retreated in good order to the church aril. This post, gained at so dear a rate, was *pie taken from him, after several attacks sus.. tamed in conjunction with Lieut.-Gea. Hiller ; the place was alternatcly taken and lost ) till at -iroorgtirthe eeperiority of oar fire obliged the enemy to abandon the home, and a last assault of Hil ler's corps prevented all fitrther attempts. From the moment of the retaking of Aspern it became possible to oppose *n offensive movement to the enemy► advancing upon the centre, and to operate upon his left dank and communication. The defence of Aspern was therefore left entirely to Hiller's corps, and while Count Bellegarde •p. puied his right witig en Aspern, he formed his loft and centre in the direction of Eslingen, iu such a manner that, by degrees, he gained the right leak of the enemy, compelled him to retreat, and, by the complete effect of the artillery, brought to bear upon the left wing, which com manded the whole space from Aspern to Eslingen, gate him a most severe defeat. CORPS OF LIEUTENANT-GENERIL THE PRINCE OF nostwszoLLEan. • The dawn of morning was with this corps also the signal for the renewal of the gigantic con flict. The enemy's infantry was drawn up in large divisions, and between it the whole of the heavy cavalry was formed in masses. The General of Ca►alry, Prince Lichtenstein, on observing this order of battle, perceived the necessity of keeping up e close communication with the infantry placed near him; he therefore drew up his right wing en echiquier, behind the corps of infantry, but kept his left wing together, with reserves posted in the I A prodigious gelidity of artillery covered the front of the enemy, who seemed desirous to anni hilate our corps by the murderous fire of cannon and howitzers. Upwards of two hundred pieces of cannon were engaged on both sides, and the oldest soldiers never recollect to have witnessed so tremendous a fire. Vain was every effort to shake the intrepidity of the Austrian troops. Napoleon rode through 1 1 his rinks, and according to the report of the pri. saner., made thorn acquainted with the destruction of his bridge, but added, that he had himself or dered it to be broken down, because in this case there was no alternative, but victury or death. Soon afterwards the whole of the enemy's line put itself in motion, and the cavalry made its principal attack on the point where the corps of cavalry of Prince Lichtenstein communicated with the left wing of Lieutenant-General the Prince of Ho. henzollern. The engagement now became ge neral • the regiments of Rohm', D'Aspre, Jo seph lolloredo and Stain, repulsed all the attacks' of the enemy. The Generals were every where at the head of their troops, and inspired them with courage and perseverance. The Archduke himself seized the colours of Zach's, and the battalion, which had already begun to give way, 'followed with new enthusiasm his heroic example. Most of those who surrounded him were wounded ; his Adjutaut.General, Count Winced., received a ball in his head, the wound from which was at first considered dangerous ; a squeeze of the hand signified to him the con. cern of his sympathizing Commander, who, tilled with contempt of death, Dow fought for glory and for his country. The attacks of our impenetrable corps, both with the sabre and the bayonet, so rapidly re. plated and so impetuous, as to be unparalleled in military annals, frustrated all the iutentions of the HeHe was beaten at all points, and astonished at such undaunted intrepidity, he was obliged to abandon the field of battle. About this time Lieutenant-General the Prince of Hohenzollern observed on his left wing, near Esslingen, a chasm, which had been formed dar ing the heat of the engagement, and afforded an advantageous point of attack. French's regi ment, i:ommautled by Colonel Mccseary, was orde—il thither in three corps, and repulsed Vs:: ree7:nents of cavalry, accompanied with in. Pantry and artillery. The corps remaitted iu the position which they had taken, till the gre nadiers of the reserve, which the Archduke had ordered forward from Brietenlee, arrived to re lieve the battalions exhausted with the sanguinary conflict, and continued the attack upon the con. tre of the enemy's position. Lieutenant-General D'Aspre penetrated with the four battalions of grenadiers of Przezinsky, Pute.iny, Scovaux, and Schariach, without firing a shut, to the enemy's cannon, where he was flanked by such a destruc. tivc lire from Esslingen, that nothing bat the pre ' sauce of the Archduke, who hastened to the spot, could have induced his grenadiers to maintain their ground. Captain Count Do:abasse had already reached the enemy's battery, when he was wounded by two balls, and quitted the Geld. About noon the Archduke ordered a new as sault upon Esslingen, which was immediately un dertaken by Field-Marshal-Lieutenant D'Arpre with the grenadier battalions of Kitchenbetter and Scovaui on the left, and Scharlach and Georgy in front. Five times did these gallant troops rush up to the very walls of houses, burning inter. sally sad placed' in a state of defence ; some of the grenadiers thrust their bayonets into the ene my's loop-holes ; but all their efforts were fruit less, for their antagonists fought the fight of des. pair. Thu Archduke ordered the grenadiers to take up their former position, and when they af. leeward' volunteered to renew the issault, he woeld not permit them, as the enemy was then in full retrert. coars 01 TIELO-11A RSPI L.LIEUTENANT PRINCE ROSEN i!saca. Both divisions of this corps, which in advancing to the engagement had composed the fourth and fifth columns, were formed before break of day for a new attack, for which the enemy likewise made preparation on his side, but with a manifest supariority in numbers. Prince Rosenberg resolved to attack the village of Esslingen with the Archduke Charles's regiment of infantry, to push forward his other troops in battalions, and in particular to go and meet the ene. my, who was advancing in the open country between Esslingee and the ucareit arm of the Da nube.

Five times were thine attacks on Sztarrsy's and Miller's regiments re peated, and each time were they repelled with equal courage and resolution. ihe cavalry con. tributed all that lay in their power to the pursuit of the enemy and the snpport of the infantry. Coburg's, the Archduke Louis's, and Csarto risky's regiments belonging to the divnion of Lieu. tenant-General Dedotich, stationed on the right, renewed the exertions of the preceding day with the same distinction and the same success. After this severe conflict, the enemy seemed to have no inclination to expose himself to any fresh disaster, and confined himself merely to the operation of Lis superior artillery. About eleven A. M. Prince Rosenberg re. ceived orders from the Archduke, Commander in Chief, to make a new attack upon Esslingen, and a message to the same effect was sent to Lieu. tenaut.Gencral Dedovich, who commanded the right ffivision of this corps. Prince Rosenberg immediately formed two co limns of attack under the conduct of Liedtennnt • Generals Princes linhenloe and Rohan, while' Lieutenant-General Dedovich advanced against the citadel of the place, and the magazine surrounded with walls and ditches. The attack was made with redoubled bravery, and our troops rushed with irresistible impetuosity into the village. Still, however, they found it impossible to maintain this post, into which the enemy kept continually throwing new reinforce. ments, which was of the utmost importance for covering his retreat, which he had already re. solved upon, and which he defended with an im mense sacrifice of lives. Prince Rosenberg there fore resolved to confine himself to the obstinate maintenance of his own position, to secure the left flank of the aray, and to increase the embarrass ment of the enemy by an incessant fire from all the batteries. In the night between the 22d antlt3d the enemy accomplished hie retrelt to the Lobau, andfrst three in the motning rear-guard also had eva. coated Esslingen, and all the points which he had occupied uu the left !mnlc of the Danube. Some divisions pursued him tio , t.!y, nid took possession as near as possible of the necessary posts of observation. Thus terminated a conflict of two days, which will be ever memorable in the annals of the world, and in the history of war. It was the most ob stinate and bloody that has occurred since the cumtnencement of the French Revolution. It was decisive for the glory of the Austrian arias, fur the preservation of the Monarchy, and fox the correction of the public opinion. The infantry has enteretrupon a new and bril liant career, and by the fin!) confidence it has ma nifested in its own energies, has paved the way to new victories. The enemy's cavalry has seen Uri acquired but hitherto untried glory dissipated by the masses of our battalions, whose cool intrepi dity it was unable to endure. Cavalry and artillery have surpassed omm:ekes in valuer, and in the space of two days have per formed achievements sufficient fur a whule cam paign. Three pieces of cannon, seven ammunition wag gons. 17,000 French muskets, and about 3000 cuirasses fell 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 either to conquer or die. The Austrian army laments the death of 87 su perior Officers, and 4199 subalterns and privates. Lieutenant-Generals Prince Robin, Dedovich, Weber, and Frcnel, General Winzingerode, Grill, Fcustadter, Siegeuthal, Collorcdo, May llohen feld; and Buresch, six hundred and sixty-three Officers, and fifteen thousand six hundred and fifty.ooe subalterns and privates were wounded.— Of these Field Marshal Lieutenant Weber, eight Officers and eight hundred and twenty-nine men were taken prisoners by the enemy. The loss of the enemy was prodigious, and ex. ceeds all expectation. It can only be accounted for by the effect of oar concentric fire on an ex. ceedingly confined field of battle, where all the batteries crossed one another, and calculated by the following authentic data. Generals Lames, D'Espagnc, St. Hilaire, and Albuquerque, are dead ; Musette, Bessicres, Mo litor, Boudet, Legrand, .Lssalle, and the two brothers Legrauge, wounded; Durusnel and Fouler taken, Upwards of seven thousand men, and an im. mense number of horses were buried on the field of battle ; five thousand and some hundred wounded lie in our hospitals. In Vienna and the suburbs there are at present twenty-nine thou sand seven hundred and seventy-three wounded ; many were carried to St. Pollen, Enos, and as Lintz ; two thousand throe hundred were taken. Several hundred corpses floated down the Da nube, and arc still daily thrown upon its shores ; many met their death in the island of Lobau, and since the water has fallen in the smaller arms of the river, innumerable bodies, thus consigned by their comrades to everlasting oblivion, have be come visible. The burying of the sufferers is not' ' yet over, and a pestilential air is wafted down the theatre of death. His Imperial Highness, the Generalifsimo, has indeed undertaken the duty .so dear to his heart, of acquainting the Monarch and the Country with the names of those who took the most active share in the achievements of these glorious days ; but he acknowledges with profound emotion, that, amidst the rivatship of the highest military virtues, it is
