der to make a junction with the army in
Oalmatia the Goth July, tue general Gu
lay appeared before the city of Graetz with
10. 600 men. The Sth regiment were can
toned in one of the SUBURBS OF the city, and
lrepelled all the attacks of the enemy, over
threw it in every direction, tovk 500 pri-
Issners and standards maintained their
lpostio for IA hours, * gave, 10y that IN eans
time to general Broussier TO come 10 theft
assistance this battle, ia which the enemy
were ten to one agains. US, has covered
lthe s4.h regiment and their commandan5
with glory. The standards were presented
to his /. & r.. Majesty Napoleon, on tile
parade ground. We have to regret the
death of 90 men and 90 wounded =
On the 30th June, the duke of Auerstad
Iordered an island that lies close to the left
bank OF the Danube, on which the enemy
had collected some. troops TO be attacked
/ The gen. Cu5in, conducted the affair with
great precision, and colonel Decoaz , at toe
ihead o. the 2lst regiment of infan.ry be-
longing to the line, performed the opera
ltion. At 9 a. NJ. this regiment passed O..
iver to the island, part by swimming. and
ipart in boats put 1900 men to rout, mad .
| $50 prisoners amongst these are the col.
| of the regiment of ST.. Jusitn, and several
officers. Five pieces OF C lnpon which had
been brough, OIL the island, TO It's defence,
were, taken.
! But no Danu',e exists any longer for the
enemy. The generaI Count BERTRAND, &C
}cord'ng to the plans OF the emperor, ha
executed such works On the Danube, as
nothing OF that Kind can be compared to,
and which has excited the gen raj admira
ton.
| On breadth of 24oo feet and over the
most rapid current OF the world, in about
30 diys. bridge has been erected, con
sisting OF so arches and so broad III at I'll rec
Wagons can cross it abreast. Another
only eight feet broad for the infantry, and
very large floating bridge were construc
ted-We Can cross the Danube in three
columns. Immense Notifications have been
erected on the different adjacent islands,
in order to protec; the works of the bridg
| es, and secure our passage.
From the appearance of this enormous
work, one would believe, that many years
have been required to its performance,
though it has not taken more than twenty
days labor. The -rete de Points which
protect the bridges, are elegantly finished
! The Island Labau is now one of the
strongest fortr esses, provided with an i'm
mense quantity of provisions OF every des.
cription 100 large cannon, and 20 mortal
pieces. The general LIE Grand is in pos
session Of the woods by the Tete de Points
The enemy's army is in order Of battle
covered by Notifications (redOu5ts) and ha.
his left wing posted by Enzendorf
right by Great Aspern. Several skirmish'
cs have already takenpiace. Our crossing
the Danube being nCw made easy, and oul
bridges secured against every attack, tn,
, fate of the Austrian monarchy will tie dc
eided by a single battle.
