BATTLE OF ENZERSDORF.

In the meanwhile, the enemy, confounded in all his projects,
gradually recovered from his astonishment,and endeavoured to
regain some advantages in this new field of battle. f'or this
purpose he detached several columns of iulantry, a considerable
number of piece 6 of artillery, and all his cavalry, as well of
the line as the new levies, in order to attempt to out•flanl: the-
right of tie French army. In consequence, he occupied the vile
loge of Itittzendorf. The Emperor ordered t3etieral Ondinot to
carry tits% village, to the right of which he sew. the Doke of
Auerstii;it, in order to proceed to the head-quarters of Prince
(.2 harle, giiing always from the right to the left.

From noon till nine in Ow evening, the French 9,rmies ma'
nceuvrea Lai this immense plain. All the villages were occupied*
and when the French had. reached the heights of the entrenched
camps of the enemy, they till of their o'. n accord, and as if-1 y
enchant alert. The Duke de Rivoli caused them to be occupied
without resistance. It was`thus we seized the works of 4'ssling
at:d Gros-Aspern, and the labour of forty days was of no use to
the enemy. He made some resistance in the viliage of itasch-
doll*, which the Prince de Punic Corvo caused to be attacked
and carried by the Saxons. The enemy was every where over-
W helmed by the superiority of our fire. This field oe
battle was covered with his remains.

BATTLE OF WAGRAIII.
Strongly stlanqed Py the progress of the French army, on&
the great successes which it obtaisoit, with scarcely any effort,
the enemy put all his troops in motion, and at stv in the evening
he occupied the following position right from Si iidelau to
(:erasdorf, his centre from Gerasdorf to Wu‘rai s. and his left
from Ilingrani to Neusiedel. The Frepch army had its left at
Gros-Aspern, its centre at Rasclidorf, and its right at Glenzin-
dot f. In this position the day was nearly at a close, and we had
neces-..atiky to -expect a great battle oil the mortar w ; but this was
to he avoided, and the position of the enemy to be intersected,
so as to prevent him- from forming dill) plan, by taking pos:Ale-
sioni in the night, of the village of Wagram. lit this ease his
line, already of HI) immense leligth, being Anldeill. assuiled and
exposed to the chances of combat, the ditterent k. ties of his
army would he dispersed 'without order or diaction, mid we
should succeed at an easy rate, and without any belit.US eirgage-
ment, The attack on NVogram took place, and our troops took
possession of the village ; hut a coluinn df Saxons and a column
of French mistook each other, in the dark, for enemies, and this
operation failed. We then prepared for the Battle of Wagram.
It appears that the dispositions of the French and the Aus-.
trian Generals were inverted. The Emperor passed the night is
accumulating his (times towards his centre, where he was in per-
son, within cannon-shot of Wagrani. With this view; the
Doke de Rivoli moved upon the left of Aderklau, leaving at
Aspern n single division with orders for it to fall back, in case
of necessity, upon the
,Isle of Lobau. The Doke of Auerstadt
received orders to leave unoccupied the village'of Grostahollen
that night, to approach the centre. The Austrian Geoer4l, on
the contrary, weakened his ceutre to secure and augment bis
extrenfilies, u Melt he still further'extended. On the 6th, at
day-break, the Prince de Poute Coro occupied the Left, having
the Duke of Rivoli in a second line. The t iceroy connect--
ed him with the centre, where the corps of Count Oudi.
not, that of the Duke of Ragusa, those of the Imperial Guards,
and the divisions of Cuirassidrs, formed seven or eight lines.
