ENOAGEMENT.

When the foot artillery comes within gunshot of the
enemy, it will take up a position in front of the infantry.
The interval between each bsttery will be filled up by
skirmishers furnished by the Zounves and the ride corps.
The enemy, uncertain of our plan, remains in his posi-
tion. Then the second brigade of ie second division will
move to the left of the line. stretching out obliquely by
battalions massed on the right in order of battle. The
engagement continues in this position—the enemy. he•
lieving our right uncovered, ventures to attack it. The
first brigade of the first division retires by battalions
en erhelnn. The second brigade, on the second line, moves
onward in single column in the extreme right of the first.
The horse artillery advances rapidly in theinterval between
the two infantry divisions. The brigade of cuirassiers
joins the brigade of light cavalry, and both prepare to
charge the enemy.

ENOAIi KMENT.

The enemy being perceived on our left, the second bri-
wiles of each division of infantry will form by massed
battalions, front to the left in order of battle. The first
brigades will continue to move on, manoeuvre in like man-
ner, add place themselves on the right of the second
brigade and parallel to it. Two batteries of foot artillery
will take position on the left of the division Camou. The
regiment of light cavalry will rapidly unmask the
infantry, and form in order of battle on the left of the first
line. The brigades of ordinary cavalry. of heavy cavalry
and artillery, unite and form a third line. The enemy
making :iis chief attack upon our right, the first line
charges front in advance on its right battalion. Two bat.
teries of foot artillery advance to make the pivot. The
division Mellinet, after moving by battalion on the right,
will form its first brigade in advance, in order of battle,
parallel to the division Cannon, while the second brigade
will form a second line, deploying by massed battalions at
deploying intervals. The two remaining batteries of foot
artillery take position on the right of the first line—the
brigades of ordinary cavalry and heavy cavalry, as well as
the light guns, will follow the general movement, and will
form part of a third line. When the time arrives to charge,
the second brigade of the division Mellinet will advance by
massed battalions within the right intervals of the come-
wponding battalions of the first brigade ; the deployed bat-
talions of the first brigade will have in advance of them
their first and sixth companies. Then the whole corps
d'arinee will advance, with the single exception of the
regiment of infantry on the extreme left, the two batteries
which cover the left flank, and the brigade of light cavalry.
The division Camon, while the line advances, will form
successively en echelon by regiments, on its regiment on
the left, and will form squares by regiments. When the
line is sufficiently advanced, the whole of the horse
artillery will take possession at the point of the angle
formed by the two divisions of infantry. The mancenvre
will finish by a charge of the whole cavalry, the heavy
cavalry passing between the squares, the ordinary cavalry
by the right and the light cavalry by the left.
