Storm. General Yorck marched with his ,corps to
the right of the village. The whole army wheeled
to the right, and presently after the battle became
general along the whole line of Blather's corps. The
enemy, at the same ciine, displayed a numerous ar-
tilley, chiedy of heavy calibre, and the fire of mus-
ketry in the villages was kept up with great vivacity
for several hours. In this murderous battle the vil-
lages of Rleiittqorschen and Ithano, as likewise
the Tillage of Gress-Gorschen, were early taken by
storm, and with unexampled bravery, and kept
possession of for several hours. At length the

of battle, the victory is our'a, and the intended pur-

tects the just cause of those Powers, who have no
skeet but their independence, and to found a durable
peace on the freedom of all patio's.
