talion to pass through this opening; they gained a

those who made resistance were cut to pieces : the
number of prisoners exceeded 8000. In consequence
of these unskilful dispositions, the enemy had not time
to destroy the bridge, and the French passed pell-mell
with them to the left Bank. This unfortunate city,
which they were barbarous enough to defend, has
suffered considerably. A part of it was on fire dur-
ing the night, but by the efforts of General Moraud,
and his division, it was extinguished. Thus, at the
battle of Abensberg, the Emperor beat separately the
two cot ps of the Archduke Louis and General Heller.
At the battle of Landshut, he took the centre of their
communications, and the general depot of their ma-
gazines and artillery ; finally at the battle of Eckmuhl
the four corps of Hohenzollern, Rosenberg, Rollo-
, wrath, and Lichtenstein, were defeated. The corps
of Oeneral Bellegarde arrived the day after the battle;
they could only be witnesses of the taking of Ratisbon,
and then fled into Bohemia. In all these battles our
loss amounted to 1200 -killed and 4.000 wounded ! ! !"
[Then follows a list of the French Officers killed
and wounded, and very high eulogiums upon the dif-
ferent French Generals.]
Of 222,000 of which the Austrian army was com-
posed, all have been engaged except 20.0(X) men
commanded by General Bellegarde. On the other
hand, near one half of the French army has not fired
a shot. The enemy astonished by rapid movements,
which were out of their calculation, were in a moment
deprived of their foolish hopes, and precipitated from
a delirium of presumption to a despondency approach-
ing to despair.".

So Loma s ! You have justified my expectations—you, mule
up for numbers by your bravery—you have gloriously touted
the difference that exists between the soldiers of Cnsar an thq
armed cohorts of Xerxes.
In a few days we have triumphed in the three battles of Tao;
Abensberg, and Echmuhl, and in the actions of Freising, Laud,

march and your courage.
The enemy, besotted by a perjured Cabinet, seented no longer
to preserve any recollection of us—they have been promptly
