4, mixed with the Austrians, to the
sft side. This unfortunate city, which
they had the barbarityto expose, has
suffered greatly. It was on FIRE part
Of tn night, but by the assiduity of
gen. Morand' and his division, il was
eAtinguished.
Thus at the battle of Abensburg, the
emperor beat separa tely the two corps
OF the archduke Lewis and gem raj
Hitler. At the battle of Landshut,
M took possession of the centre OF the
communications of the enemy, and OF
the general depot of their magazines
and artillery. Finally at the battle Of
Eckmuhl, the four corps of Hohen.
zollern, Rosenberg, Koifowrath, and
LichteIstein, were defeated and put
to the rout. The corps of general
Bellegrade arrived the morning after
the battle he could only be a witness
TO the taking oil katisbon, when he fed
to bohemia.
The first information of the milit -
~ operations which have opened the
campaign in. so brilliant manner,
will be followed by detail of all the
deeds in arms, which have rendered
ilIustrious the French and allied ar.
mites.
In all our comhats, our loss has not
exceeded 1900 killed and 1000 wound
ed. The general of division, c. -voni,
was struck by cannon ball, and fell
dead upon the field of battle Of Eek
muhl.s He was an officer of merit and
had dis iuguished himself in our first
campaigns. At the combat Of Peis-
sing, general Hervo, chief of the etat
major of he Duke OF Auer.tadt, was
Likewise killed. The Duke oil Auerstadt
regrets very much this CfScer, whose
vai,r, intelligence and activity he es-
tcemed. The general of brigade,
Clement, .comnandant of a brigade of
curiassiers of the division of St. Sui
pice, had his arm shot of. He is an
officer of courage and distinguished
merit. General Schi am has been
wounded. The colonel Of the 18th
chasssu rs has been killed IN an attack.
In general our loss of officers has been
uncomfortable. The 1000 men of
the 65th, which had been made pris-
oners, have been for the most part re-
taken. 1t is impossible to show more
valor and more good VIII, than is
shown by our troops.
AT the battle of Eckmuhl, the corps
OF the duke Of Rivoli (Massena) not
having been able to join. the marshal
remained constantly near the emperor,
and carried the orders for the exccu-
ton of different manoeuvers. AT the
assault of R4tishon, the duke OF Mon

the place of passage, caused the lad
