Scarcely had the morning of the 6th begun to
break, when the enemy's army, composed of a force
which, since the earliest titers, has perhaps lacier
been collected in one point, appeared at the dis-
tance of a long cannon shot.

•• It was estimated at from 1 so to tao.oon mew.
According to the latest statements of the Emperor
It'espoleon hie self, and his Generals, it consisted of
180,000 combatants. On the part of the Imperial
Austrians, nut quite too,ooo men were in the field on
the day of battle. The attack began with a brisk
cannonade all along the line, which the enemy an.
*leered by n fur superior number of henry ordnance,
and kept it np till night, without interruption. The
eight wing of the Austrians made the most splendid
progress. Adleklaa was tepee, and the enemy driren(

The enemy's cavalry on the left wing was completely(
routed, and lield-Manird Lieut. Klemm, with
the six corps which he commanded in the room of
Field-Marshil Lieut. Hiller, who was taken ill, pe-

lengthened its right wing, opposite the left of the
Austrinns, till the latter was quite overwhelmed
about noon by a mass of cavalry and a great (loan,
tiny of artillery. The corps which hail been expected
from Marchick did not arrive, and it was easy for
the enemy to out-flank our left wing, their violent
cross-tire soon silenced our batteries.

left, was repulsed, and the heights in that quarter,
occupied by the enemy.

prevented from undertaking the attack against
Hoschdorf, but was itself overwhelmed and forced

to retreat to the causeway of Braun, while the enemy
hod already gained Puksteis, and Ensersdurf, and ,

of the Imperial Royal army. Night put an end to
