IMPORTANT FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Thirtieth Bulletin of the Grand Army.
Austerlitz, 12 Frimaire, year 14.
The 6th Frimaire, the emperor, upon receiving the communication of the full power of Messrs. de Stadion and de Gimplay, offered previously an armistice, for the purpose of sparing the effusion of blood; if the enemy really had a mind to make an arrangement and come to a definitive accommodation.
But it was early for the emperor to perceive that the enemy had other projects; and as the hope of success could not come to the enemy, but from the side of the Russian army, he early conjectured that the negotiations were no longer any thing more than a ruse de guerre to lull his vigilance.
The 7th at 9 o'clock in the morning, a cloud of Cossacks, supported by the Russian cavalry, made the advanced posts of prince Murat fall back, surrounded Vitshau, and took there 50 men on foot of the 6th regiment of dragoons. In the course of the day, the emperor of Russia repaired to Vitshau, and the whole Russian army took position behind that town.
The emperor had sent his ad-de-camp general Savary, to compliment the emperor of Russia as soon as he was apprised of that prince being arrived at the army. General Savary returned at the moment when the emperor was reconnoitering the fires of the enemy's bivouac placed at Vitshau. He bestowed great praise on the good reception, the graces and good personal sentiments of the emperor of Russia, and even of the grand duke Constantine, who showed him every kind of care and attention; but it was early for him to perceive from the series of conversation which he had for three days with about thirty coxcombs, who under different titles, surrounded the emperor of Russia, that presumption, imprudence and inconsistency would reign in the decisions of the military cabinet, as they had reigned in those of the political one.
An army thus conducted, could not be long without committing faults. The emperor's plan was from that moment to wait for those faults and to watch the moment for profiting of them. He immediately gave orders for his army to retreat; retired by night, as if he had met with a defeat, took a good position three leagues behind, caused the men to work with great orientation in fortifying it and erecting batteries.
He proposed an interview to the emperor of Russia, who sent him his ad-de-camp , prince Dolgorouki; this ad-de-camp might remark that every thing in the countenance of the French army denoted reserve and timidity. The placing of large guards, the fortifications making in the utmost haste, all showed the Russian officer an army half beaten.
Against the custom of the emperor, who never receives with so much circumspection flags of truce at his head quarters, he repaired himself to his advanced posts. After the first compliments, the Russian officer attempted to start political questions. He assumed upon every thing with an impertinence difficult to be imagined: he was in the most absolute ignorance of the interests of Europe, and of the situation of the continent. He was, in one word, as a young trumpeter of England. He spoke to the emperor as he speaks to Russian officers, whom he has long provoked by his haughtiness and ill-usage. The emperor contained his indignation, and this young man who has gained a considerable influence over the emperor Alexander, returned full of the idea that the French army was on the eve of its ruin.
One may be convinced of what the emperor must have suffered, when it is known that towards the end of the conversation, the prince proposed to him to give up Belgium and to place the iron crown on the head of the most implacable enemies of France. All these different steps fulfilled their intention. To beat the French army was no longer the question, but to turn and take it: It had done so much only through the cowardice of the Austrians. It asserted that several old Austrian generals who had made campaigns against the emperor, warned the council that it was not with such confidence they ought to march against an army in which there were so many old soldiers and officers of merit. They said that they had seen the emperor reduced to a handful of men, in the most difficult circumstances, in his victory by rapid and unforeseen operations, and destroy the most numerous armies; that there, however, no advantage had been obtained; that, on the contrary, all the skirmishes of the advanced-guard of the Russian army had been to the advantage of the French army; to these were opposed the bravery of 30,000 Russians, the enthusiasm inspired into them by the presence of their emperor, the picked corps of the Imperial guards of Russia, and, what they probably, did not dare advance, their talents, of which they were astonished that the Austrians did not comprehend the power.
On the 10th, the emperor, from the top of his bivouac perceived with unspeakable joy, the Russian army beginning, at two cannon shot from his advanced
posts, a movement in flank to turn his right. He then saw to what a pitch of presumption and ignorance of the art of war had misled the councils of this brave army. He frequently repeated, "believe to-morrow evening, that army will be in my power." Nevertheless, the enemy entertained a very different idea: he came up within a pistol shot of our advanced guard, defining by a flank march on a line of four leagues in length, extending along the French army, which appeared as if it dared not to move out of its position: it had but one fear, that the French army would escape it. Every thing was done to confirm the enemy in this idea. Prince Murat called a small corps of cavalry to advance into the plain; but suddenly, as if astonished at the immense forces of the enemy, it as hastily returned. Thus every thing tended to confirm the Russian general in the ill calculated operations he had fixed on. The emperor caused the annexed proclamation to be placed in the orders of the day.
In the evening he wished to visit on foot and inognito all the night guards; but he had scarcely made a few paces ere he was recognized. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm of the soldiers, on seeing him; straw lights were in an instant placed on the tops of thousands of perches, and 20,000 preferred themselves before the emperor saluting him with acclamations; some to celebrate the fete of the anniversary of his coronation, the others saying that the army would give its noisage to the emperor on the morrow. One of the old grenadiers came up and said to him, "Sire, you need not expose yourself, I promise you in the name of the grenadiers of the army, that you need only fight with your eyes, and that we will bring you to-morrow the standards, and artillery of the Russian army, to celebrate the anniversary of your coronation."
The emperor said in entering his bivouac, which consisted of a wretched straw hovell without a roof, which the grenadiers had made for him, "this is the finest evening of my life; but I regret to think that I shall lose a number of those brave fellows. I feel how much that will hurt me, that they are truly my children, and in fact I sometimes reproach myself with this sentiment, which I fear will end by rendering me incapable of carrying on the war." Could the enemy have beheld this scene, he would have been alarmed. But rash and unthinking he continued his movement, and hastened forward to his ruin.
The emperor immediately caused the preparations to be made for battle. He dispatched marshal Davoust, to the convent of Raggern; he was with one of his divisions, and a division of dragoons, to make head against the enemy's left wing, in order that at a signal given, it might be quite enveloped; he gave the command of the left to marshal Lannes, of the right to marshal Soult, of the centre to marshal Bernadotte, and of all the cavalry, which he assembled on one point, to prince Murat. The left of marshal Lannes was supported by the Santon, a superb position which the emperor had caused to be fortified, and on which he had caused to be placed 18 pieces of cannon. On the evening preceding the battle, he had intrusted the guard of this position to the 17th regiment of light infantry, and certainly it could not be guarded by better troops. The division of general Suchet formed the left of marshal Lannes; and that of general Caffarelli his right, which was supported by the cavalry of prince Murat. The latter had in front of it the hussars and light horse under the orders of general Kellermann, and the division of dragoons Valter and Beaumont, and in reserve the divisions of cuirassiers of generals Nanouty and d'Hautpoule with 24 pieces of light artillery.
Marshal Bernadotte, that is to say the centre, had on its left the division of general Rivaud, supported on the centre by prince Murat, and on its left the division of general Drouet.
Marshal Soult, who commanded the right of the army, had at his left the division of general Vandamme, at the centre the division of general St. Hilaire, at his right the division of general Legrand.
Marshal Davoust was detached to the right of general Legrand, who guarded the passages of the Ponds, and of the villages of Sokolnitz and Celnitz. He had with him the division Priam and the dragoons of the division of general Bourcier. The division of general Gudin was to march very early in the morning from Nicholsburg to stop any of the enemy's corps which might stretch beyond the right.
The emperor with his faithful war companion marshal Berthier, his first ad-de-camp colonel-general Junot and all his staff, was in reserve with the ten battalions of his guards, and the ten battalions of general Gudin, of which general Duroc commanded a part.
This reserve was drawn up in two lines in columns by battalion, at the distance of opening; having in the intervals 40 pieces of cannon served by the artillerymen of the guards. It is with this reserve that the emperor had the project of rushing wherever his presence would have been necessary. We may say that this reserve alone was worth an army.
At 1 o'clock in the morning the emperor mounted on horseback to visit his posts, reconnoitre the fires of the enemy's bivouacs, and receive an account
of the large guard of what they might have heard of the movements of the Russians. He learned that they had spent the night in drunkenness and tumultuous cries, and that a corps of Russian infantry had presented themselves at the village of Sokolnitz, occupied by a regiment of the division of general Legrand, who received orders to reinforce it.
The 11th Frimaire, day at length appeared. The sun rose radiant; and this anniversary of the emperor's coronation, on which one of the finest feats of arms of the age was going to take place, was one of the finest days of this Autumn.
This battle, which the soldiers persist in calling the battle of the anniversary, and which the emperor called the battle of Austerlitz, will be forever memorable in the annals of the Great nation.
The emperor, surrounded by all his marshals, waited to give his last orders, till the horizon was well lighted. At the first rays of the sun, the orders were given, and each marshal rejoined his corps in full gallop.
The emperor laid in passing along the front of several regiments, "Soldiers we must finish this campaign by a clap of thunder which shall confound the pride of our enemies;" and immediately the hats on the point of the bayonets, and shouts of Long live the emperor! were the true signal for action. A moment after the cannonade was heard at the extremity of the right, which the enemy's advanced guard had already passed; but the unforeseen encounter of marshal Davoust stopped the enemy short, and the engagement commenced.
Marshal Soult moved off at the same instant, marched towards the heights of the village of Pratzen, with the divisions of the generals Vandamme and St. Hilaire, and entirely cut off the enemy's right, all the movements of which became uncertain. Surprised by a march of flank while it was flying, thinking itself attacking and seeing itself attacked, it looked upon itself as half beaten.
Prince Murat moved off with his cavalry. The left, commanded by marshal Lannes marched in echelons by regiments as at exercise. A tremendous cannonade commenced along the whole line: 200 pieces of cannon, and 200,000 men, made a dreadful noise; it was a real combat of giants. The armies had not yet been fighting for an hour, and the whole of the enemy's left was cut off. His right found itself already arrived at Austerlitz, the head-quarters of the two emperors, who were immediately forced to march the Russian emperor's guards, to endeavor to establish the communication of the centre with the left. A battalion of the 4th of the line was charged by the Russian imperial horse-guards, and routed; but the emperor was not far off: perceiving this movement, he ordered marshal Berthier to march to the support of his right with his invincibles, and shortly after the two guards were engaged. The success could not be doubtful: in a moment the Russian guards were routed; colonel, artillery, standards, all were carried away. The regiment of the grand-duc Constantine was crushed; he himself owed his safety only to the swiftness of his horse.
From the heights of Austerlitz, the two emperors beheld the defeat of all the Russian guards. At the same moment, the centre of the army, commanded by marshal Bernadotte, advanced; three of his regiments maintained a very fine charge of cavalry. The left, commanded by marshal Lannes, attacked several times. All the charges were victorious. The division of gen. Caffarelli distinguished itself.
The division of cuirassiers seized the enemy's batteries. At one o'clock P.M. the victory was decided; it had not been a single moment doubtful. Not a man of the reserve had been necessary, nor had fought any where. The cannonade was no longer kept up but on our right. The enemy's corps which had been surrounded and driven from all its heights, found itself in a low ground and pushed up against a lake. The emperor marched thither with twenty pieces of cannon. This corps was driven from position to position, and a horrible spectacle ensued, such as was seen at Aboukir, 20 thousand men throwing themselves into the lake and drowning!
Two columns, each of four thousand Russians, laid down their arms and surrendered prisoners; the enemy's whole park is taken. The result of this engagement is forty stand of Russian colors, among which are the standards of the imperial guards; a considerable number of prisoners, the staff does not yet know them all. It has already notice of twenty thousand, twelve or fifteen Generals; at least fifteen thousand Russians killed remain on the field of battle. Although the reports be not yet arrived, we can at the first coup d'oeil, estimate our loss at eight hundred men killed, and between fifteen & sixteen hundred wounded. This will not astonish military men, who know that it is only in a rout that men are lost, and no other corps but the battalion of the 4th was broken. Among the wounded is General St. Hilaire, who, wounded at the commencement of the engagement, remained the whole day in the field of battle; he covered himself with glory. The generals of division, Kellermann and Valter, the generals of Brigade Valhubert, Thiebaut, Sebastiani, Campan, and Rapp ad-de-camp to the emperor. It was the latter who in charging at the head of the grenadiers of the guards, took prince Repnin, commander of the knights of the Imperial guards of Russia. As to the men who have distinguished themselves, it is the whole army which has covered itself with glory. It constantly charged shouting long live the Emperor, and the idea of celebrating so gloriously the anniversary of the coronation, further animated the soldiers.
The French army although numerous and beautiful, was inferior in number to the enemy's army, which consisted of one
hundred and five thousand men, eighty thousand of whom were Russians and twenty-five thousand Austrians. Half of this army is destroyed; the rest has been put to the most complete rout, and the greater part have thrown down their arms.
This day will cost tears of blood to St. Petersburg. May it cause that cabinet to reject with indignation the gold of England; and may this young prince whom so many virtues called to be the father of his subjects, snatch himself from the influence of those thirty coxcombs whom England pays with art, and whose impertinences obscure his intentions, make him into the love of his soldiers and show him into the most erroneous operations. Nature, by endowing him with such great qualities, called on him to be the confoler of Europe. Perfidious councils, by rendering him the ally of England, will place him in history in the rank of those men, who by perpetuating war on the continent, consolidated British tyranny over the ocean, and caused the misfortunes of our generation.
If France cannot attain peace but on the conditions which the ad-de-camp Dolgorouki proposed to the emperor, and that Baron Novoziltsov was charged to bring, Russia will not obtain them even if its army should be encamped on the heights of Montmartre.
In a more detailed relation of this battle, the Staff-major will make known what each corps, each officer, each general, has done to illustrate the French name, and give a testimony of love to their emperor.
On the 12th at day break, prince John of Lichtenstein, commander of the Austrian army, waited on the emperor at his head-quarters, set up in a barn. He had a long audience of him. Nevertheless we pursue our successes. The enemy is retreating along the road from Austerlitz to Goring. In this retreat he presents his flank, the French army is already on his rear and following him with the sword in his reins.
Never was a more horrible field of battle. From the midst of immense lakes we still hear the cries of thousands of men who cannot be relieved. It will be three days before the wounded enemies can be all sent out to Brunn. It makes one's heart bleed. May so much blood shed, so many misfortunes, fall at length on the perfidious islanders who are the cause of them! May the cowardly oligarchs of London support the burden of so many evils!
From the Bivouac, 10th Frimaire. SOLDIERS:
You see before you the Russian army, come to avenge the Austrian army of Ulm. They are the same battalions you have beaten at Hollabrunn, and whom you have constantly pursued to this place.
The positions we occupy are formidable, and whilst they march to turn my right, they will present me their flank.
Soldiers, I shall direct in person all your battalions; I shall keep far from the fire, if with your accustomed bravery, you carry disorder and confusion into the enemy's ranks; but if victory for a moment be uncertain, you will see your Emperor expose himself to the first blows: for victory cannot hesitate, on this day especially, when the honour of French Infantry, which imports so much to the honour of the whole nation, is at stake.
Let not your ranks be thinned under pretext of carrying off the wounded, and let each man be well penetrated with the thought, that we must vanquish these supplanters of England, who are animated with so great a hatred against our nation.
This victory will finish our campaign, and we may take up our winter quarters, where we shall be joined by the new armies now forming in France, and then the peace I shall make, will be worthy of my people, of you, and of me.
(Signed,) NAPOLEON. By order, The Maj. Gen. of the Army, Marshal BERTHEIR.
AUSTERLITZ, 12th Frimaire. SOLDIERS:
I am satisfied with you: you have in the engagement of Austerlitz, satisfied what I expected from your intrepidity. You have decorated your eagles with an immortal glory. An army of 100,000 men, commanded by the Emperors of Russia and Austria, has been in less than four hours, cut to pieces and dispersed: those who have escaped our swords, have been drowned in the lakes.
Forty pair of colours, the standards of the Imperial Guards of Russia, 120 pieces of cannon, 20 Generals, upwards of 30,000 prisoners are the result of this memorable day. This infantry so much boasted of, and in superior numbers, have not been able to resist your shock, and henceforth, you will have no more rivals to dread. Thus in two months, this third Coalition has been vanquished and dissolved. Peace can no longer be at a distance; but as I promised my people, before crossing the Rhine, I will only make a peace, which will give us guarantees, and secure rewards to our allies.
Soldiers, when the French people placed the Imperial Crown on my head, I trusted to you to maintain it forever in the high splendour of glory, which alone could render it valuable in my eyes. But at the same moment, our enemies thought of destroying and vitiating it: and this iron crown, conquered by the blood of so many Frenchmen, they wished to oblige me to place on the head of our most cruel enemies: rash and senseless projects, that on the very day of the anniversary of your Emperor's coronation, you have taught them, that it is easier to brave and to be eaten, than it is to conquer us.
Soldiers, when every thing that is necessary to insure the happiness and prosperity of our country shall be accomplished, I will conduct you back to France. There you will be the objects of my most tender solicitudes. My people will again behold you with joy, and it will be sufficient for you to say: I was at the battle of Austerlitz, for them to answer, that's a brave fellow.
(Signed,) NAPOLEON. By order, The Maj. Gen. of the Army, Marshal BERTHEIR.
Thirty-first Bulletin of the Grand Army.
Austerlitz, 14th Frimaire, year 14.
The emperor set out yesterday from Austerlitz for his advanced posts near Santoni, where he placed himself near his bivouac. The emperor of Germany was not long in arriving there. The two monarchs had an interview which lasted two hours. The emperor of Germany did not conceal both on his side and that of the emperor of Russia the contempt they feel for the conduct of England. They are a set of shopkeepers, he repeated, who let the continent on fire, in order to secure to themselves the trade of the world.
These two princes agreed to an armistice, and on the principal conditions of peace, which is to be negotiated and terminated within a few days. The emperor of Germany then informed the emperor, that the emperor of Russia likewise designed to make a separate peace; that he entirely abandoned the affairs of England, and no longer took any interest in them.
The emperor of Germany frequently repeated, "there is no doubt but that in her dispute with England, France is in the right." He solicited also a truce for the remainder of the Russian army. The emperor observed to him that the Russian army was surrounded, and that not a man could escape; but added he, "I desire to do something agreeable to the emperor Alexander, I will suffer the Russian army to pass—I will stop the march of my columns, but your majesty must promise, me that the Russian army will return into Russia and evacuate Germany and Austria and Prussian Poland." Such is the intention of the Emperor Alexander, replied the Emperor of Germany, I can assure you, besides you may convince yourself of it in the course of the night by your own officers.
It is asserted that the emperor said to the emperor of Germany, when he asked him to come near the fire of his bivouac, "I receive you in the only palace I have inhabited for these two months past." The emperor of Germany replied laughing ("vous tirez bon parti cette habitation, qu'elle soit votre plaire") "It has been so much to your advantage, that I do not wonder at its pleasing you." This is as near as could be understood the words which dropped from him. The numerous suit of the two princes were not so far different but that they heard something that was said.
The emperor accompanied the emperor of Germany to his carriage, and caused prince Lichtenstein and gen. prince Schwarzenberg to be presented to him; after which he returned to sleep at Austerlitz.
Every information is collecting for the purpose of writing a fine description of the battle of Austerlitz. A great number of Engineers are drawing up the plan of the field of battle. The loss of the Russians has been immense. Generals Kutschou and Buxhowden were wounded, ten or twelve generals were killed. Several ad-de-camps to the emperor of Russia and a great number of officers of distinction lost their lives. It is not 120 pieces of cannon, but 150, which have been taken. The enemy's columns which threw themselves into the lakes were favoured by the ice, but the cannonade broke it, and two whole columns were drowned. On the evening of the day and for several hours during the night the emperor rode over the field of battle, and caused the wounded to be carried away, a horrible spectacle, if ever there was one. The emperor mounted on a very fleet horse, galloped along as swift as lightning; nothing was more affecting than to see these brave fellows recognise him in the field, some forgot their sufferings and said 'At least the victory is certain'; others 'I have suffered for these eight hours and since the beginning of the battle I am abandoned, but I have done'

my duty, others 'you ought to be satisfied with your soldiers to day.' With each wounded soldier the emperor left a guard who caused him to be transported into the moveable hospital. It is horrible to say, that 48 hours after the battle, there were a great number of Russians whose wounds were not able to get dressed. All the French were before night. Instead of 40 pair of colors, we have already had 43 brought in, and our soldiers still find the remainder of several others. Nothing can equal the gaiety of the soldiers at their bivouacs; They scarcely perceive the officer of the emperor, but they cry out 'has the emperor been satisfied with us?'
In passing before the 28th of the line which has a great number of conscripts of Colvados and of the Lower Seine, the emperor said to it: 'I hope that the Normans will distinguish themselves to day.' They kept their word. The emperor who knows the composition of each regiment said a few words, these few words arrived and spoke to the hearts of those to whom they were addressed, and became their rallying signal in the midst of the fire. He said to the 57th, 'recollect it is many years since I formed you the Terrible.' It would be necessary to name all the regiments of the army. There was not one which did not show prodigies of bravery and intrepidity. Here indeed it might be said that death fled affrighted before our ranks, and threw himself into those of the enemy. Not a corps made a retrograde movement. The emperor said, I have fought 50 battles such as this, but I never saw one in which the victory was more decisive, and the chances so little balanced. The Foot Guards of the emperor were not engaged. They wept with rage. When they asked to be employed, the emperor said to them 'rejoice that you have not yet been in the action, you are to fall on as a reserve. So much the better if you are not wanted to day.'
Three cols. of the Imperial Russian guard were taken with the general who commanded them. The hussars of this guard made a charge on the division Caffarelli. This charge cost them 300 men who remained on the field of battle. The French cavalry showed itself superior, and acquitted itself admirably well.
At the end of the action the emperor sent col. Dailemagne with two squadrons of his guard as Partisans, to ride over the field of battle and bring in the runaways. He took several stand of colors, and 1500 prisoners. The guards greatly regret the col. of the horse rangers Morland, who was killed with a grape shot, as he was charging the artillery of the Russian Imperial guards. The artillery was taken; but this brave col. found his death. We had not one general killed. Col. Mazas, of the 14th of the line, a brave man, was killed. Many chiefs of battalion were wounded. The Voltigeurs vied with the grenadiers. The 45th, 43d, 14th, 36th 40th, 17th, but we dare mention no corps; it would be an injustice to the others, they all performed wonders. There was not a single general, an officer, a soldier but was determined to conquer or die.
We must not conceal a trait that does honour to the enemy. The commander of the artillery of the Russian imperial guards had just lost his cannon. He met the emperor. 'Sire said he, get me shot; I have just lost my cannons.' 'Young man,' answered the emperor, 'I appreciate your tears, but one may be beat by my army and still have a title to glory.'
Our advanced posts are arrived at Olmutz. The empress and the whole court have fled from thence in the greatest haste, col. Cobourne, equerry to the emperor, commander of the 5th regiment of Rangers, had 4 horses killed under him, upon the 5th he was wounded himself, after seizing a stand of colors. Prince Murat bestows great praise on the manoeuvres of gen. Kellerman, on the fine charges of gens. Nanzouy and d'Harpoul, and in fine on all the generals, for one knows not whom to name because they should all be named. The soldiers of the train have merited the praise of the army. The artillery made a dreadful havoc among the enemy. When an account was given of it to the emperor, he said; its success give me pleasure; for I have not forgot that it was in this corps that I began my military career.
The emperor's aid-de-camp, gen. Savary, had accompanied the emperor of Germany after the interview, to know whether the emperor of Russia adhered to the capitulation. He found the wreck of the Russian army without either artillery or baggage, and in a frightful disorder. It was midnight; gen. Meerfield had been repulsed from Godding by Marshal Davoust. The Russian army was surrounded, not a man could escape. Prince Czartorinski introduced gen. Savary to the emperor. 'Tell your master,' cried that prince, that I am going away; he has wrought many miracles; how this day has increased my admiration of him! he is pre-
destined of heaven, my army will require an hundred years to equal his, but can I retire with safety?' 'Yes sire, answered gen. Savary, if your majesty ratifies what the two emperors of France and Germany have agreed upon in their interview. And what is it? That the Russian army shall retire home, by the stages that shall be regulated by the emperor, and that it shall evacuate Germany and Austrian Poland. Upon this condition I have the emperor's orders to repair to our advanced posts, which have already turned you, and to give orders to protect your retreat, as the emperor wishes to respect the friend of the first consul. What guarantee must I give for that? Sire, your word. I give it you. This aid-de-camp set off in full gallop to Marshal Davoust, to whom he gave orders to cease all movements and to remain quiet.
May this generosity of the emperor of the French not be soon forgotten in Russia, as the fine procedure of the emperor, who sent back 6000 men to the emperor Paul with so much grace and so many tokens of esteem for him.
Gen. Savary conversed an hour with the emperor of Russia, and found him such as a man of heart and sense should be, whatever losses he may have experienced. The monarch asked him to give him some details of the engagement. "You were inferior to me," said he, "and however, you were superior in all the points of attack." "Sire," answered Gen. Savary, "that is the art of war, and the fruit of 15 years glory. It is the 4th battle the emperor has fought." "That is true he is a great warrior. For my part, it is the first time I have seen fire, I have never had the pretension to measure with you." "Sire, when you have gained experience you will surpass him, perhaps." "I shall now return to my capital. I came to the assistance of the emperor of Germany. He has made known to me that he is satisfied, I am so too."
On his interview with the emperor of Germany, the emperor told him, Mr. and M. de Colloredo, Messieurs Paget, and Rafamoudi are all one with your minister, Cobentzel. There are the real causes of the war, and of Y. M. continues to abandon yourself to these intriguers, they will ruin all your affairs and alienate the heart of all your subjects, you who have so many qualities to be happy and beloved.
An Austrian major having presented himself to the posts, with dispatches from Mr. de Cobentzel for Mr. de Stadine, at Vienna, The Emperor said "I will have nothing to do with that man, who had told himself to England to pay his debts, and who has ruined his house and his nation by following his sister's advice."
The Emperor took the greatest notice of Prince John of Lichtenstein. He frequently said, "How is it when one has men of great distinction, that one can suffer oneself to be led by fools and intriguers. In fact Prince John of Lichtenstein is one of the most distinguished characters, not only for his military talents, but his qualities and knowledge. It is confidently asserted that the emperor said after his conference with the Emperor of Germany, "That man has made me commit a fault, for I could have followed up my victory and taken the whole Russian and Austrian armies, but however, there will be some tears the less shed."
Thirty Second Bulletin of the Grand Army. Austerlitz December 6, 1806. General Friant, at the battle of Austerlitz, had four horses killed under him. Colonels Conroux and Demonstier distinguished themselves. The traits of courage are so numerous, that as they were reported to the Emperor he said, I need all my power to be able to recompense worthily these brave men.
The Russians, in fighting, have the habit of laying down their knapsacks; and the whole Russian army having been put to flight, they were taken possession of by our soldiers. A great quantity of baggage was also taken, and the soldiers have found in it much money. General Barrand, who had been dispatched after the battle with a squadron of the guards, has brought in a great number of baggage wagons well filled. The number of pieces of cannon taken up to this time amounts to 170. The Emperor testified some dissatisfaction that plenipotentiaries had been sent to him the day before the battle, and that the diplomatic
character had been prostituted. It is worthy of M. Cobentzel, whom the whole nation regards as one of the principal authors of all its calamities.
Prince John de Lichtenstein is come to meet the Emperor at the castle of Austerlitz. The emperor has granted him a conference of several hours. It is remarked that the emperor conversed freely with this general officer, who has concluded with Marshal Berthier an Armistice of the following tenor:
M. Talleyrand is going to Nicholsburg, where the negotiations are to be opened.
ARMISTICE
Concluded between their Imperial Majesties of France and Austria.
His Majesty the Emperor of the French, and his Majesty the Emperor of Germany, desirous to reach the period of definitive negotiations, for putting an end to the war which desolates the two States, have agreed as a preliminary, to begin by an armistice, which shall continue until the conclusion of a definitive peace, or until the rupture of negotiations; and in this case, the armistice shall not cease until fifteen days after that rupture, and the cessation of the armistice shall be notified to the plenipotentiaries of both powers, and at the head quarters of both armies.
