of a force which, Since the earliest times, has per-
haps never been collected at one point, appeared at
the distance of a long cannon-shot. " It was esti-
mated at from 140 to 150,009 men : according to
the latest statements of the Emperor Napoleon him- •
self and his Generals, it,consisted of 180,000 com-
batants.
On the part of the Imperial Austrians not
quite 100,000 men were in the &Leta:sn thesdaY of
battle. The attack began with a brisk cannonade
all along the line, which- the enemy answered by At
far superior number of heavy ordnance, and kept up .
till night without interruption. The right wing of
the Austrians made the most splendid progresses.
Adlerklaa was taken, and the enemy driven from
Russenbru.nn, Breitenlee, and Herschstellen. The
enemy's cavalry on the left wing was completely
routed," and Field-Marshal Lieutenant Klenau,
with the 6th corps, which he commanded in the

taken ill, penetrated into the enemy's left flank, as

doff; made himself masters of our entrenchments

pieces of cannon, and some thousand prisoners, be-

opposite the left of the Austrians, till the latter was
qdite overwhelmed about noon, by a mass of ca-
valry, and a great, quantity of artillery. The corps
which had been expelled from Marcheck did not •
arrive, and-itswas easy for the enemy to outflank our
• left' wing.; -their violent cross 'fire soon silenced out
batteries. Our 4th corps, which was placed on our
extreme left; was repulsed, and the heights in that
quarter occdpied-by the enemy. By this the second
