EIGHTEENTH RULLETIN OF THE
GRAND ARMY.
MoJAIsK, Sept. 10, 1872.
On the 4th. the Emperor set out from
Gnjat, and encamped near theipost of Grit
neva.
The 5th, at six o'clock in the morning,
the army put itself in motion. At two in
the afternoon we perceived the Russians
formed with their right upon Moskwa. the
left upon the heights on the left bank of the
koiogha. At 1900 toises in advance of the
left, the enemy had begun to- fortify fine
height, between two woods. where they had
placed or 10000 men, The Emperor
having recOnnoitered il, resolved not to lose
moment, and to carry this position. Or
ders were given to the King of Naples to
pass the Kologha, with the division Com
pans and the cavalry. Prince Poniatowsky,
who had marched on the right, was in a con-
diiion to turn!the position. At four o'clock
the attack commenced. In one hour the
enemy's redoubt was carried, with the can
non ; the enemy's corps driven from the
wood. and put TO flight, leaving the third
part on the field of battle. AT seven in the
evening the firing ceased. =.
On the 9th, ar two o'clock in the morning
the Emperor surveyed the enemy's advan-
ed posts; the day was passed in reconnoi-
tering. The enemy were in a position much
contracted. The left was weakened by
the loss of the position on the day before
backed by large wood, supported by a
fine height, crowned by redoubt planted
with &c pieces of Cannon. Two other heights,
crowned with redoubts at 100 PAGES from
each other, protected their line as far as
"A large village which the enemy had des-
| troyed, to cover the ridge with. artillery and
infantry, and TO support the centre. Their
| right extended behind the Koogha, in the
| rear OF the village of Borodno, and vas
| supported by two fine. heights, crowned
with redoubts and fortified with batteries
| This position appeared strong and favora-
BILE. 1t was easy to maneuvre, & to oblige
| the enemy to evacuate it !; but that would
have been renouncing our object, and the
position was not judged sufficiently strong
| to render IL necessary to avoid fighting 1t
was easy to perceive that the redoubts were
but half formed the fosse shallow,
aud neither palisaded nor defended
| with chcvauxd e-frise. We reekoned the
enemies force at about 100 or $50, 900 men.
Our forces were equal; but the superiority
! OF our troops was not doubtful. -,
| On the 9TH, AT two in the morning, the
Emperor was surrounded by the Marshals
| in the position taken the evening before. At
half past S O'Clock the. sun rose without
clouds ii had rained the preceding even
ing. This is the sun of AusterlitZ," said
the Emperor. Though but, the month OF
September, it was as cold as in December
in Morava. The army received the omen :
the drum beat, and the following order of
the day was read -
Soldiers, behold the field OF battle you
have much desired! Henceforth victory
depends On you, it is necessary to us it will
give us plenty, good quarters for the win

The army answered with reiterated ac-
CARNATIONS. The ground on which the ar

Prince POniatowsky, who was on the
right, put himself IN motion TO turn the for
est on which the enemy rested his left.
The Prince of Eckmuhl marched on the
skirt of the forest, the Division Compans al
the head. Two batteries OF 90 cannon each,
commanding the enemy's position. had been
constructed III the night.
At o'clock, general count Forbier, who
had armed the battery ON the right with
the artillery Of the reserve of the guard,
commenced the fire. --General Pernetty,
