" SOLotrus !•.—This any is the annitqrviry .of
Marengo and of Priedlain, which telee decided the
destiny of Europe. Then, wafter Austerlitz, as aft
i ter Wagnm, we were too generous ! Ws believed
lin the protestations and in the oathimf Princes whom
we left on the throne ! Now, howeirer, coalesced
.
!among themselves, they would destroy the 14(.-

: They 'have commenced the most unjust oinggrittsiOns.
Let us march, then, to meet them. Are they and
Iwe no longer the same men a?
44 Soldiers, at Jena, against these same Prussians,
now so arrogant, you were see against there, and at
Mantmirail one against sis !
" Let these among you whe have been prisoners
of the English, detail to you thehulks,and the fright-
ful miseries which they suffered!
i 46 The Saxons, the Belgians, the Hanoverian*, the
soldiers of the Confederation of the Rhine, lament
that they are compelled to lend their arms to the
cause of Princes, the enemies of justice and of
1 the rights of all nations; they know that this Coali-
tion is insatiable ! After having devoured twelve
millions of Poles, twelve millions of Italians, one
million of Saxons, six millions of Belgians, it must
devour the States Or the second rank of Germany.
Ig‘ The madmen ! a moment of prosperity blinds
them. The oppression and humiliation of the French
people are beyond their power. If they enter France,
tbev will there find their tomb.
" Soldiers! we have forced marches to make,
battles to fight, dangers to encounter; hut with
steadiness, victory will he our's; the rights, the
honour, the happiness of the country will be re-con-
quered I

ilesp* Jime 17, (oar o'clock to the meminx.
The batik of yesteiaay lasted till 10 o'clock in
the evening. We are still in pursuit of the enemy,
whe has experienced a terrible overthrOw. We have
hitherto 8000 prisoners, 20 pieces of cannon, and
several standards ; many officers of rank, among
others Count lutzow. Wb expect at day-break to
collect a great 'mother in the villages of St. Amend,
and ethers who were rut off by the movements which
the Emperor caused his guard to make. The grena-
diers end chassours of the old guard massacred entire
mimes, and have lost very few men.
It appears that it was a charge of the bayonet
by the imperial Foist Guard which derided the battle.

The enemy must hare been est remely numerous.

I never saw such enthusiasm moos!. soldiers.

who returned from being dressed, nem ceased to el-
