itfelf.
The divifion cuiraaiers feized the en-
emies batteries. AT one o'clock in
the afternoon, victory was decided
it had not been Jingle moment, doubt
full. Not man of the referve had
been necefary, nor had fought any
where, but at our right. The enemy's
corps which had been furrounded and
driven from all its heights, found it,
felf in low ground and pulhed up
againf lake. The Emperor march
ed thither with twenty pieces of can
non. This corps was driven from
petition 70 petition, and a horrible
fpe6tacle enfued, fuch as was feen ar
Aboukir 10000 men throwing them
felves into the water and drowning
themfslves in the lakes.
Two columns, each of four thouf-
and Rufians laid down their arms
and furrendered prifoners +; the ene-
my's whole park is taken. The re-
fult of this engagement is 40 ltands of
RulIian colors, among which are the

Gen. ST. Hiliare, who, wounded at
the commencement Of the engage

field OF battle he covered himfelf
with glory. The generals of diviiion
KelleIman and Walthsr, the generals
of brigade Valbubert, Thielbut, Sc
balfiani, Dampan, and Rapp, aid de
camp TO the emperor. 1t was the lat
ter who, in charging at the head of
the grenadiers of the guards took Pr.
Repnin, commander of the knights of
the imperial guards of Ruilia. AS to
the men who have ditinguilhed them

confiited of Ios 1000 men, 10000 of
whom were RuHians and $4,000 AuC-
sriaas. Half of this army is deltroy-

rout, and the greater part have thrown
down their arms. y
This day will colt tears of blood to

fuch great qualities, called on him to
be the conioler of Europe. Perfdi-
