The works for replacing the bridges are continued with assi-
duity, and nothing wilt be undertaken until they are secure, not
only against the accidents of the water, but against any thing that
may be attempted against them. Ake rise of the river, and the
rapidity of the strearn,must require much labour and.great eaOtion.
On the 23d, when the army was informed that the Emperor
had ordered it to retreat to the Great island, nothing could exceed
the astonishment of the brave troops. Victorious on both days,
they bad supposed that the remainder of the army had joked
them; but when they were told that the high water bad carried
away the bridges, and that its continued increase rendered the
renewal of their ammunition and provisions impracticable, and
tlut any movement in advance would be absurd, It was with
great difficulty they could be persuaded of the truth of the state-
ment.
That bridges constructed of the largest boats of the Danube,
secured by double anchors and cables, should he carried away,'
was a great, and entirely unforeseen disaster ; but it was ex-
tremely fortunate that the Emperor was not two hours later of
being informed of it. Ihe atmy In pursuing the enemy would
have exhausted its ammunition, which it would have been im-
possible to replace.
On the 23d a great quantity of ammunition was Inn to the
camp at In-der-l-ohau.
Te battle of hiding, of which a circumitantial repiail "shall be
made, pointing out the brave men who distioguhhed tht;rnselves
therein, will, in the eyes of posterity, be a new memorial of the
glory and inflexible firm/test of the French army.
The Marshals the Dukes of Montebello and Rivoll on that day
displayed all the powers of their military character.
The Emperor has given the command of the 2d COO to Ge-.
nerd Count Outllnot,' General • tried in a hundred battles, in
which he has atersis evisteed the possestioq oroqual courage as
skill.
