and an half before day-break, that is to say, at
half past four in the morning.
The Army is to be ranged in the following or;

To the Left of the Division of RECNIER, the Di-
vision of FREANT, composed of the 2.5 th, Gist, and
• 75th Demi-brigades, is to take its .station.
To the Left of the Division of FREANT, and.conj.
sequently in the Centre; is to be the Column C 0111.:
manded by General D'ESTAING, composed of the
z rstDemi-brigade, and two Companies of .Grena-,

To the Left of the Division of RAmpos is to be
the Division of LatitissE, composed of the 4th, 18th,
69th, and 88th Demi-brigades. It is to support
its Left by the sea.
It follows from this arrangement, that the Di-
visions of RE GN I s R and FR E ANT will form the Right
Wing; the Divisiops of D'EsTAt NG and RAMPON,
the Centre ;'and the Division-of LAr:usE, the Left.
A Light Corps will advance on the left of the
Enemy, in order to make a false attack, which is
to begin at the same moment as the real one. This
Corps will be composed of the Regiment- of Drome:.
daries, and of 3oth Cavalry-
. •
Three hundred Cavalry are to march against the
Right of the Army, on the other side'of the canal,
in order to annoy their Left, by constantly hushing
forward riflemen. This manceu6-e .is to begin at
the same time as the false attack made by the Dro-
medaries. They are to obey the.orders of General
REGNIER.
The rest of the Cavalry. of the Army are to keep
behind the Centre.
The Artillery in reserve are to be placed behind
the Cavalry, and behind them are to 'be the In-
fantry Guides,
The main attack is to be begun by the Left Wing
of the Army, tipsier the. command of General' LA-
NUSSE ; and by the Centre, commanded.by Gene-
rals RAMFON and D'EsTAiNG. :They are to match
against the Redoubts in front of their position, and
to take them with the Bayonet, At the same time
the Right Wing of the Army, commanded by Ge-
neral REGNIER, is to refuse a lirde uiicil the en-
gagement shall have been warmly begun by the
Left. The Centre is to second the Left Wing, and
the Right Wing is then fo'advanc: briskly forward,
and to attack and put to the route all that falls in
their way. \N• hen the positions Of the Right and
of the Centre of the Eneiny shall have been carried,
and all their firk line routed, the French Army
•
must.,forin again with rapidity,
_in order to march
against the second One 'of the Endo}... The Rifle.,
men only,are exeMpted from this measure.
This movement against the 2d Line of the Enemy
is to be begun by.the Left Wint, which is to refuse a
little, its Right endeavouring to out-flank the Ene-
my. The Centro is to follow this movement, and
the Right Wing is to keep in check all the Left of
the Enemy. The obje\ of this movement is to
endeavour to drive back the English to the Lake of
Maadie. General Ro.tiE, who commands the Ca-
valry, will have an eye to all the movements of the
Enemy, and will take advantage of every fly.-our.
able circumstance, as well as of giourid; :a Order to
advance and destioy all that may have been Shaken
by the Infantry.
General • will ply the same attention to
the advantageous employment of his Artillery. It
is necessary that he should have an eye to the Gun-
boats which are on the Flank's of the Position: it
will, perhaps, be necessary to silence them with
t wel ve-potinders.
The Generals who command the Divisions will
employ their Artillery of whatever . kind, in the
manner which may appear to them most 'proper.
The case must be the same with respeft to the
General cornmanding.the Cavalry. The Generals
of Division must also form their Front of the Column .
of Attack as well as their second Line, if they judge
it necessary, in the manner which they shall- deem
most advantageous.
Tlx Commander in Chief will be in motion 'every
where, to issue the fresh Orders which circumstances
may render necessary.

The Standard of BONAPARTE'S own Invincible
Brigade, brought home in the Flora, is so mncli
shattered and defaced by sen•ice tbat the Inscrip-
tions recording its various Vidories, can with diffi-
culty be traced.-:—Le Passage de la Piave, Le Pas-
sage du Tagliamotto, Le. Passage du L' Isonzo, and
La Prise de Gratz", are tolerably &sand, but
scarcely any vestige remnins of the affair of the Port

worn by this famous litigade, now add to the tso-

completely nnihilated.
