In detailing tile preparatory. dispositions, it
" As' the left v. ing was-exposed to the danger of
being taisen-in flank, tiie Archduke JOlin, who was
with his "corps Presbnrgh, received orders to
march immediately to the support of the main ar-
.my, and iO-co-operate, according to circumstances,
with - the'. lett wing: The -Courier thareett with
thee orders left heal-quarters in the evening of the
4th, and arrited at Presburg-h, at five in ilte morning
of the 51h, and it did not seem 'probable that any
impediment sl ouid occur to prevent the.arrival and
co-Operation of this corps On the day of battle,which
was fixed for the 6th in the morning."
In the sequel, describing the operations on the
6'h, it says:—" - This wits the decisi%e moment,
(vii. that of Vinee ROsenberg't attack) and the ar-
rivial of-the so anxiously exeeded troops under the
Archduke John at any later period could have been

took some prisdners in the rear of the enemy, 'and

sages :
" This is a plain narrative of a battle, which, in
conjuntlion with that of Aspern, will constitute an
. epoch in the annals of the world.—lmmense prepa-
rations, unparalleled exertions, great reiults, seise
them to the rank of the most remarkable events of
the age."--" On both sides, the contest iqi olved
every thing that is dear to individuals, all -that is
loeked.upon 'as sacred by wrio:e nations, all that
- 4ould most Pbwertrilly agitate the, passions.",—" A
great interest 'required great 'sacrifices.- They were

the fortune of, war finally, decided in favour of -our
enemy, th-.y 'snatched frorll ris, it is true, the palm
of victory, but crowns of uritaditeg laurel will ever
decorate the brows of the brave."---" Moch has
been said respeCting this battle. and much has been
said that is entirely fabulous ; but 300;000 m,irneesee
will transmit the stemp of truth to posterity, long
after the vile colouring of dece; thin shall hale
