The unparalleled Saccer.i whioh has attended the publication of
NI NE YoLumas of the above-mentioned Work, and the rapid
Sale of many Thousand Copies of successive large Editions, must
render unnecessary any further Explanation of its Arraovi.n and
HIGHLY USEFUL rLA N.

_ .
Time has, however, conferred a Feature on this Publication,
which it could not orijnally possess, and the ur.sparing Scythe
of Death has converted the early Volumes, with some fl-w excep-
tions, into a Necrology or Obituary of departed Exeell:nce. In
this point of view the work exhibits new Claims to general In-
terest; and as every successive Edition has been carefully revised
and improved, the work may be generally received as a faithful
Biographical History of the present times.
The Editor shall repeat, that since thy Commeiscemapt of the
' Work, in gratifying a laudable Chriosity relative to Public Cha-
racters, be has in no instance satisfied the Wishes of Mak:velence.

iisrmation respecting the battle of the 2.2 d,
been received by his Majesty, has laid the
for the best hopes. The result of that
:ontest was unexpected. In the evening,
Irs left the field, a great superiority of
.lry decided the action unfavourably for our arms.
The left wing was compelled to give way, Accord-
ing to a report from his Imperial Highness the Ge-
neralissimo, dated on the 2:;(1, from the heights of
Ratisbon, the grand army has crossed the Danube,
and taken the road to Waldmunchen. Thus termi-
nated a most obsinate battle, which had continued
for five days without interruption. Fortune often
fluctuated. The loss on both sides is immense. This
shows that the contest was carried on both with cou-
rage
and animosity. Every ore must do justice to
the behaviour of our troops. The Generalissimo be.
stows uncommon praises on the conduct of the army,
which has been quite exhausted by continued fatigues.
Lieutenant Field-MarshaFßaron Hiller is between the
Iser and the Inn. We have for the present changed
our operations from the offensive to the defensive."
