TRH STATISM

operations of the bridges.

the Duke de Riven passed over to the Mill Island
with 300 Voltigeura, and took pageant's' of it.
This island was also furnished Wilt cantata. It
wee joined to the Continent, on the left Ade, by
a wall bridge. In the front a litte "eche was
raised, and this redoubt was called Petit.

64 In the evening, the redoubts of It:sating ap-
peared to be jealous of these works : not doubt.
ing that they were a first battery, formed to act
against themselves, they fired upon them with
great activity. This was precisely the intention
in having seized this island. The attention of the
enemy was to be &sou to this-pad, in order to
conceal from him the Iv:ratios* many proposed.
Passage across the min of the Danube from the.
Island Lobau.
" On the 4th, at ten in the evening, General
Ondinot wand 1500 ♦oltigeurs to be embarked
on the great arnt of the Dattebe, commanded by
General Conrouz. Colonel Baste, with ten goo.
boats, convoyed them, and disembarked them be.
yond the little arm of the Island Loban, io the
Danube. The batteries of the enemy were soon
silenced, and he was driven from the woods to the
village of Muhleuten.

" At eleven in the evening the batteries raised
against Enzeradort received orders to begin their
firing. The howifters set this unfortunate little
town on fire, and in less than half an hour the
enemy's batteries had ceased to operate.
" The Chief of Battalion Dessales, Director
of the Bridges, and . . . Engineer of the
Marine, had prepared in the Island Alexander, a
bridge of 80 toises, of a single piece, and tve great
ferry-boats.
Cel. Sainte Croix, Aide-de-camp of the Duke de
Rivoli, embarked in barges with 2500 men, and
landed on the left bank.

" The bridge of a single piece, the first of the
kind which has hitherto been made, was fixed in
less than five minutes, and the infantry passed user
it with great rapidity.
" Capt. Razelle fixed a bridge of boats in an
hour and a half.

44 Capt. Payeritooffe formed a bridge of rafts in
two hours.

" Thus, at two o'clock of the morning, the
army lad four bridges, and had debouched on the
left 1500 tuises below Enzersdorf, protected by
the batteries, and the right upon Vittee. The
corps of the Duke de Rivoli formed the left; that
of Count Oudioot, the centre; and that of the
Duke of Anerstsdt, the right; the corps of the
Prince de Ponte.Corvn, the Viceroy, and the
Duke of Ragusa, the guard ; and the cuirassiers
formed the second line, and the bodies of reserve.
Utter darkness, a violent storm, and rain, w bicb
fell in torrents, rendered this night as frightful, as
it was propitious to the French army) and was
about to be glorious to it.

" On the sth, at daybreak, every one per.
crived what had been the project or the Emperor,

the Austrians to abandon their positions, and
come and offer him battle on the spot that was
convenient to him. The great problem was thus
resolved, and without passing the Danube on other
points—without receiving any protection from the
works he had raised, he forced the enemy to fight
three quarters of a league from his redoubts.
From that moment the greatest and happiest results
were presaged.
66 At eight in the morning, the batteries which
' had played upon Enzersdorf had produced such
an effect, that the enemy was obliged to let that
town be occupied by no more than four Nitta.

" Count Oudiaot surrounded the Castle of

and took 12 pieces of cannon.

BATTLE OF ENZERSDORF.

" In the moan wkne, the enemy, confounded in
all his projects, gradually recovered from bis as.
tonishment, and endeavoured to regain some ad-
vantages in this new field of battle. For this pur.
pose he detached several columns of infantry, a
considerable number of pieces of artillery, and all,
his cavalry, as well of the line as the new levies, in
order to attempt to out-flank the right of the
French army. In consequence, he occupied the
village of Rotzendorf. The Emperor ordered G.

" From noon till nine in the evening, the
French armies manoeuvred on this immense plain.
All the villages were occupied, and when the
French had reached the heights of the entrenched
camps of the enemy, they fell of their own ac-
cord, aid uif by enchantment. The Doke de

BArrur. OF WAGRAM.
" Strongly alarmed by the progress of the
French army, and the great success which it ob.-
tained, with scarcely any effort, the enemy put
all his troops in motion, and at six in the evening
be occupied the following position:—his right
from Stadelau to Gerasdorf, his centre from Cc.-
rasdorf to Wagram, and his left from Wagram to
Neusiedel. The French army had its left at Gros.
Aspern, its centre at Itaschdorf, and its right at
Glenxindorf. In this position, the day was nearly at
a close, and we had necessarily to expect a great bat-
tle on the morrow ; but this was to be avoided, and
the position of the enemy to be intersected, so as to
prevent him from forming any plan, by taking
possession, in the night, of the village of Wagram.
In this case his line, already of an immense length,
being suddenly assailed, and exposed to the chances
of combat, the different bodies of his army would
be dispersed without order or direction, and we
should succeed at an easy rate, and without any
serious engagement. The attack on Wagram took
place, and our troops took possession of the vil.
lage ; but a column of Saxons and a column of
French mistook each other in the dark fur ene-
mies, and this operation failed.
66 We then prepared fur the battle of Wagram.
It appears that the dispositions of the French
General and the Austrian General were inverted.
The Emperor passed the night in accumulating
his forces towards his centre, where he was In
person, within cannon shot of Wagram. Witt.
this view, the Duke de Rivoll moved Open the
left of Aderklau, leaving at Aspern a single divi-
sion, with orders fur it to fall back, in case of ne.
cessity, open the Isle of Lobau. The Duke of
Auerstadt received orders to leave unoccupied the
village of Grosshoffen that eight, to approach the
centre. The Austrian GrOWILii on the contrary,
weakened his centre to secure anti augment his ea-
tremities, which he still farthee-extended.
" On the 6th, at day-break, the Prince de
Polite Corvo occupied the left, bating the Duke
of Rivoli in a second line. The Viceroy ion.
netted him with the centre, where the • corps of
Count Oudinot, that of the Duke of Ragusa,
those of the Imperial Guards, and the divisions of
Cuirassiers, formed seven or eight hues.
" The Duke of Auerstadt marched from the
right to reach the centre. The enemy, en the
contrary, put Bellegarde's corps in motion fur
Stadelau. The corps of Collowrath, Lichten.
stein, and Hiller, connected their right with the
position of Wagram, where Prince Hohenzollern
was, and with the extremity of the left at Neusie-
del, where the corps of Rosenberg debauched, in
order also to out-dank that of the Duke of Au.
erstadt. The corps of Rosenberg, and that of the
Duke of Auerstadt, moving in opposite directions,
'encountered each other, with the first rays of the I
sun, and gave the signal of battle. The Emperor
instantly repaired to this point, ordered the Duke
of Auerstadt to be reinforced by the division of
the Duke of Padua's Cuirassiers, and the corps of
Rosenberg to be attacked in flank by a battery of I
PI guns, of the division of Count de Nansouty.
In less than three quarters of an hour, the fine
corps of the Dike of Auerstadt gave a good ac-
count of the . corps .of,Rosenberg, defeating it,
and driving it beyond Ncu'itidel with considerable
loss.
" In the mean time, a cannonade commenced
along the whole of the line, and the enemy's dis-
positions were every moment discovering them.
selves. The whole of his left was secured with
artillery. One might have said, that the Antrim'
General was not fighting for victory, but was
looking only to the means of improving it. This
disposition of the enemy seemed so ahsard, that
some snare was apprehended, and the Emperor
delayed some time before he ordered those easy
dispositions which he had to make to disconcert
those of the enemy, and render them fatal to him.
He ordered the Duke of Rivuli to make an attack
on the village occupied by the enemy, and which
somewhat straitened the extremity of the centre of
the army. He ordered the Duke of Auerstadt to
turn the position of-Nensioilid, and thence to push
on upon Wagram ; and he formed the Duke of
Ragusa's troops, and those of General' Macdonald
in colamo, to carry Wagram at the moment the
Duke of Auerstadt should debauch,.

" While these proceedings were taking piaci,
latomatiou was received that the enemy was

making a furious attack upon the village cerise 1
by the Duke of Rivoli ; that our left ass out.
flanked by 3000 toises, that a brisk cannonade was
already heard at Gros.Aspern, and that the spac►►
between Gros- A spern and Wagram seemed to be
covered with an immense line of artillery. There
was no hanger any fount for doubt. The enemy
had committed an enormous fault, and we had
only to profit by it. The Emperor instantly or.
dered General Macdonald to form the divisions
lof Bruuuier and lAinarque in columns of at-
tack. He ordered the di►ision of Nansouty
to be supported by the horse-guards, and a
battery of silty guns belonging to the guards,
and forty of different other corps. General
Count Lauriston, at the bend of his battery of 100
pieces of artillery, marched at a trot against the
enemy, advanced without firing to within half
gun-shot distance, and there opened a prodigioes
fire, which silenced that If the enemy, and spread
death among his ranks. General Macdonald thee!
advanced at the pus de charge. The General of
Division Reille, with the brigade of f►tsileeh and
sharp-shooters of the guards, supported General
Macdonald. The guards lade a change of front,
in order to reader this attack infallible. In an
instant the enemy's centre lust a league of ground ;
his right became alarmed, and perceiving the don.
gerous position in which it was placed, rapidly
fell back. The Duke of tivoli, at that moment,
attacked it in front. Whilst the rout of the cen.
ere struck consternation into the right of the
enemy, and precipitated its moresneets, the left
was attacked and out-flanked by the Duke of
Anerstadt, who had carried Neuaiedel, aged who
having gained the elevated plain, was marching
upon Wagram. The divisions of Broussier and
Gudin covered themselves with glory.
" It was then only ton o'clock in the morning ;
and those is ho bad the least p wetritiwn sow that

tory was ours.

" Such is the narrative of the battle of Wa.

whicle from three to four hundred thousand men,
and from twelve to fifteen hundred pieces of can.
non, contended for great interests, upon a field
of battle, studied, planned, and fortified by the
enemy for several months. Ten pair of colours,
40 pieces of cannon, 20,000 prisoners, including
between 3 and 400 Officers, and a considerable
number of Generals, Colonels, and Majors, are
the trophies of this victory. The fields of battle
are covered with the slain ; among whom are the
bodies of several Generals, among others, one
called Norman, a Frenchman, a traitor to his
country, who prostituted his talents against her.
" All the enemy's wounded have fatten into our
hands. Those whom lie abandoned at the row-

of this battle, will be that of reducing the Austrian

THE STATESMAN.

PROPOSITI TENAX.

LONDON:
MUM/AY, JOLT 21.
-.....-

We had the painful duty of announcing, hat
night, the complete success of NAPOLION sr. lib
long meditated attack on the Austrian Army.—
The narrative of that unfortunate, but certainly
not unexpected event, is contained in the Twenty.
fifth and Twenty.sizth Bulletins, which being,
as heretofore, officiously forwarded by the enemy
its boats from Boulogne, were picked up by our
cruisers. They are dated on the Bth and 9th of
July respectively, and both from Wolkendorff,
which place the Emperor. of AUSTRIA Left at five
in the morning of the 6th, and ascended a tower,
from whence he viewed that contest, which, as
the Twenty.sieth Bulletin announces, has left the
Austrian Monarchy without hope.
In the STATIOOMAN of Thursday last, we par.
ticularly directed the attention of our Readers to
an article of the date of the 29th of last month,
from Vienna, in which it was stated, that no less
than eight bridges were prepared on the Island of
In-der Leine, which could be fixed all at once in
four hours. The passage of the Danube was
from that statement—assuming as we did that it
was true—perfectly apparent, and we did not he-
sitate to offer, as our opinion, that the object-
of the French was to pass the river at different
points, so that several of their divisions might de-
botsche nearly at the same time.
The passage to the Left Bank commenced on
the 4th of July, at ten o'clock of a night of
4‘ utter darkness, in a violeut storm of rain,
gg which fell in torrents, and rendered the night
as frightful as it was propitious to the French
44 army."

The first division paned over on a small bridge
from the Mill Island, which bad been established
on the 2d. The second division passed in boats,
and dislodged the Austrians that were on the left
bank, at the point of landing.
At 11, titc French batteries opened against En.
sersdorf.

The 3d division, under Cul. ST. Cilium, nest
crossed in barges.
Thee was launched a piece of mechanism, the
nature and construction of which, u it has not
been minutely described, we can only conjecture
—a bridge, consisting of a mass of timbers, united
e as to form tine solid, yet moveable, bodg—
e the length of 80 toisee—bettseed four and
five hundred English feet !!!—This bridge is as.
serted to have been filed in five minutes after it
was launched H! That it was of sufficient selidity,
cannot be doubted, as the infantry forming the
nest division, passed over it tvith great rapidity.
The principle on which we can conjecture this
piece of warlike mechanism—the first of the kind

which has hitherto been made, .to bare bean too..
sirueted, is that of a !lotting bridge, with an ele-
vated platforsn.'
The nest division passed over a bridge of boats,
fixed by Captain BAILILLZ, in an hour and au
half.

The Bth division crossed on a bridge of rafts,
formed by Captain PArraimorrr, in two hours.
" Thus, at two o'clock in the morning, the
" army had four bridges, and had debauched en
66 the left." As two divisions had passed in boats,
the passage was effected at sit distinct points, but
at what distance from each other is not stated.
" On the sth, at day.break, every one perceived
what had been the project of the Emplane,
44 who was thew with his whole army arranged in
" order-'of battle."—which, had he passed the
Danube as before, at one point, had been impoi.
siblc.—lt was this which we anticipated, when we
remarked, that from the article, dated Vienna,
it might be perceived that NAILOLIOX had profited
by the experience of the preceding battle, where be
had but one point from whence he could debouche.
In the same article from Vienna it was an.
flounced, that the Austrians bad " dug a covered
46 way along the fine where they expected to be
44 attacked."

Now to us it appeared morally certain that in
that expectatiox the Austrians would be infallibly
deceived—and so the fact was—for NA►OLSON
having turned the entrenched camps, rendered the
works useless, " and he forced the enemy to fight
" three quarters of a league from his redoubts."
Could any other event possibly have been es.
peeled NArousou well knew of this covered
way ; and it was insanity to hope that he would
fulfil the eapectatiuns of the Austrians. Froel
the resolution of the Austrians to await the attack
ado Freud, we drew the most atifarourable pre.

Atspern,
knew of

, have not
succeeded. They chose their own points of at.
tack—and that army which has espetied
to be attacked at a particular point by the
French, has almost invariably been defeated.—
Thus, in consequence of the French having made
the attack in one place, while the Austrians ez.
pectol them in another, " the entrenched camps
66 of the enemy fell of their own accord," and
" the labour of 40 days was of no use to the
" enemy."

In the Battle of Wagram it is confessed, that
there was another " accident," for " a column of
" Saxons add a column of French mistook each
" dthet in the datk for enemies, and this opera.
" Lion failed," and doubtless great was the
loss incurted by the failure. But the Aus-
trian General in this battle, at in so many pre-
ceding instances, " OreAktuted his cedtre," and,
hoping to profit by out-flanking the edemy, ex-
tended his wings, and at tees o'clock in the morn.
ing the "fats of the day was decided." After. that
time the Austrians " fought only to effect their re-
" treat. At twelve this was manifest .1. it was
46 conducted in disorder. Long before dark the
" enemy mat out of sight."
This and the nest passage of the Twenty-fifth
Bulletin, and the first sentence of the Twisty-
sixth Bulletin, particularly merit attention.
" On the 7th, at day-break; the army mass lit
" motion, and marching," &c.

The list passage in the Twenty.sixtb Bulletin
lays, ,g The eisexey's retreat is a defeat."
From theie passages we must infer that, until
the next day, the extent of their success was not
known.

When the Archduke retreated, although in dis.
order, yet long before dark he was out of tight.
This proves that he was not instantly pursued.—
And the French army being in motion before day.
break on the 7th. shows that the nigh► was passed
underarms; but even on that day an absolute de-
feat of the Austrians was not claimed. It is only at
the opening of the tath Bulletin, that the discovery
is announced of the enemy's retreat being a
defeat. This, it is ttue, does not tend to elle-
viate the disaster...it merely shears the obstinacy
with which the con►est was maintained by the Aus-
trians to the last moment. Upon what resources,
the Austrians are retiring io Bohemia, we know
not, but that there can now be no hope. for the
preservation of the fategrkg, that Is, the satire,
undivided dominions of Austria, every consi.
deration induces a conclusion. " Now, that
" the Austrian Monarchy is without hope,"
says the Twenty.siath Bulletin, " it would
" evince being ill acquainted with the dia.
66 racter of those who govern it, not to expect
" that they will humiliate themselves as they did
" after the battle of Austerlitz. At that epoch
" they were, as now, without hope, and they cx-
" hausted all their protestations and oaths."

The Austrians, cut off from Hungary and Mo.
ravia, in retiring North wards, wilt be beamed in
on all sides. The Poles, the Russians, the Grand
French Army, and that which has re.oecepied
Dresden, must finally compel Austria to an. fur
peace.
That the loss of the French his been immense,
cannot be doubted—probably it is much greater
in the numbers of the slain than that of the
Austrians—but Ifatotuou has, in this mortal
effort, succeeded in prostrating the House of Aus.
trig at his feet.—Such is the impression on ow
minds— such, we feu, will be the event—and
