Marshal tt Cyr, with the llth corps and the garrison of Dread,
occupied the entrenched camp, and lintel with sharpshooters the
tifitations which surrounded the sobto Ls. All was tranquil at noon
but to the skilful eye, this calm was the precursor of a storm ; an ate
appeared imminent.
" At four in the afternoon, at the signal of the firing of three
non, six en emy's colemns, each preceded by 50 pieces of era
formed, and a few moments after descended into the plant ;
marched towards the redoubts. In less than a quarter of air hour,
fire became terrible. The fire of a redoubt lacing silenced, tier a:
ants turned it, and made efforts at the foot of the fortifications of

' and two by the gate of Planer]. The Prince of Moskwa debouched
at the head of Barroes' di. ision. Those divisions overthrew every
thing before them ; the fire immediately got to a distance from Ike
centre to the cirouinference, and was soon driven back upon the hills.
The fie'd of battle remained covered with dead, cannon, tied wrecks.
General Dmnontier is wounded, as are likewise Gencruls Buyeldieo,
Tyndal, and Combelies. Tire Officer of Artillery, Beranger, is mor-

failed in his attack, and left upwards of 2,000 prisoners on the field of
battle, which was covered with dead and wounded.
'4 On tire 17th the weather was dreadful, and the rain fell in tor-
rents ; the soldiers had passed the night in mud rind water. At nine
