The Sun.
London, England, 1844-08-01 00:00:00

"At four o'clock in the afternoon the battle seemed,
indeed, to be against us ; some of our corps began gra-
dually to fall back, and officers remarked that victory
was not to be achieved against such an overwhelming
superiority, and that the contest was only maintained till
night should enable us to make good our retreat. We,
therefore, resolved to keep well together during the
darkness, and not to allow the retrograde movement to
break into a wild and confused flight. It seemed, in-
deed, impossible to effect anything against the imposing
masses of the enemy, and for ten French shots we could
hardly count the report of a single Prussian gun. One
of the field-pieces near us had been dismounted ; and
the sister, to conceal her affliction, perhaps, from public
view, had discreetly retired. Our situation seemed
gloomy and depressing beyond description, when a single
quarter of an hoir completely changed the aspect of
affairs.
" Clouds of dust were seen in rear of our right wing;
they were occasioned by forty pieces of Russian and
twelve pieces of Swedish artillery, that had outstripped
the slow march of the Crown Prince's army, and now
arrived to our aid. Passing at a round trot through
the intervals of our line, they unlimbered about a hun-
dred yards in our front, and opened a fire that seemed
to shako the very firmament. The French, who proba-
bly thought themselves already victorious, were as much
depressed as we were elated by this unexpected change.
Our spirits rose, indeed, to absolute wildness ; the drums
beat the charge—as far as I could learn, without any
order—the bugles sounded the advance, and the bands
struck up ; joy and cheerfulness were boundless and
universal. Every man urged his neighbour forward ;
6 Hurrah now we have them,' was the general cry, and
on we pressed in God's name. Exhausted as our bri-
gade was, the soldiers exerted their last breath in efforts
to join the onset ; and, as if by miracle, the French were
totally overthrown."
