this position behind the village bf 011schau. Its
left wgssuppc')rted by the March.; its right extended
iti.relf upon the heiihts beyond Tobolau. It thus
pasted the night in three lines. -The Austrian
Corp-, under the orders of Prince Jon of Lich-
ten -tein, formed the heights behind Sehalmiln,
and was chiefly destined to secure, in case of a re-
.

verse, the passage over the March. Several bridges,-
construeted for this purpose over the River be-
tween Nimelau and Qlmiitz, would facilitate this
movement., This-position of the Army presented
great advantages. Throughout its whole extent it
- was elevated in such a way, that in case• of attack,
the movements of the Enemy could be seen at the
distance ()fa league, from which all. the heights had
a gentle declivity. Behind them were large ravines,
sufficient to conceal from the Enemy the columns
which could surprise them by their attacks, and
which facilitated the Means of manceuvrinToffen-
.
sively behind the shelter of the -heights. There
Were also strong points on the -heights which um-.
tthilly defended each other, and cn which the nu-.
merous artillery of the Army could be employed
with success. A marsh covered the right of the
Army and part of its centre ; the Blata ran along
at the foot of the -heights ; and this little stream,
though insignifiCant of itself, presented obstacles un-
der the fire .of the artillery. General BAGRATHION
was with his advanced guard at Procnitz. General
KIENM-AYER, with his on the left at Kralitz, pushed
forward detachments upon Klenowitz. The ad-
vanced posts were at Predlitz. An Austrian party
was sent along the March upon Tobitschau, Koge-
stein, and Kremsir, to observe this Country. A
French party was also sent out from Goeding to
HradiSch and Kremsir, but
.was driven back, and the'
Austrian detachments remained masters of the March.
It will oat escape enlightened military men, 'that
this was an advantage which might have facilitated

the manoeuvres of the Allies on7thelr left, by thus
securing, their right, then supported by the March,
and of masking the movement in such a way, that
it would have been possible to gain two marches
at least. The relations with Prussia appeared then
to be of such a nature, that the Allied Army should
have thought of establishing a communication with
the, Archduke CHARLES ; but, in determining to
rtEt on the defensive, they only thought of march-
-lug grWard.
" M. DE KUTUZOW had also sent out Austrian
parties on his right, who marched on Tribau and
~vittau, where the Archduke FERDINAND., who was
at Czaslan, had sent parties of light troops to preserve
the chain of communication. ,
Prince MURAT arrived .on the 18th of No-
vember at Brunn ; hiS advanced guard, under Ge-
neral SEBASTIAN!, pushed on. immediately -to
Rausnitz, and then entered Wischau, after it had
been evacuated by Prince fitioaAtnioN. BONA-
PARTE, on the 20th, of November, established
at Brunn, and there put his Army in can-
tonments, compacted, in the following manner :
The carps of Guards, the Grenadiers, and the
Tr'oups of Mashal LANNES, were in Brunn and its
ent irons ; the . Cavalry of Prince Mut:Ay, on the
right and left of the great road between Brunn and
Pos6rsitz, ; Marshal So.uvroit Austerlitz, and the
three ilia isions which formed his Corps between
that town, Btuschowitz, Nieuwies4tz, Stanitz, and
on thy road to fiuboary. At Gajahe had a large de-
tachment, which kept tip the -co oununication with
that v hiCh observed the March,' in order to secure
the right of the Army. _ _ _

'fi Oa the 25th of NOvember the; Grand Duke

CONSTANTINE arrived' at Oltmtz,- with the Corps
of Gurds which that Prince• commanded. After•
a lotio-,atid forced march froth St. Petersburgh, this
fine body of men was in the best state.
" Tais-Corps was composcd of ten Battalions.and
eighteen Squadrons, the whole force of which was
10,000 men, of whom there were not then more
than 8,500 under arms. .At this time the total of
the Army of M. BE KUTUZOW might be computed
at more than 80,000 men, as will appear• in a de-
tailed manner.

" We still expthed a reinforcement of 10,000
men, under General EssEN, and be aetually ar-
r:ved in,-the environs of Olmutz at the moment
when the Allied Army, commenced offensive ope-
rations. General ESSF.N'S Corps .ves at Kremsir on
th* day of ,the Battle of Austerlitz, and afforded no
assistance. It is very certain that Gen. Kuruzow's
Army was stronger than that which was opposed
to him; but while this was concentrated in one
single point, and afterwards formed itself intorriasses,
the other, in proportion as it advanced, scattered its
force.
