: Verse OF that which the guards had in
!. made. He occupied all the entrenched vi
Ilages, and all the redoubts which the enem
: was obliged to evacuate, advanced in tn
direction ot Hochkitch, and then outflankc
the enemy's left, which then fed in the grea
; test disorder. The Dukeaof Tarentum, Of
his side. assailed violentIy the enemy, am
did him much injury.
The Emperor slept upon the road in tn,
midst of his guards at the Inn of Klein Basch
lwitz. Thus the enemy forced from all hi:
positions, left i'll our power the field of bat
tie covered with his dead and wounded and
several thousand prisoners.
Ga the 22d, at o'clock in the morning,
the French army put itself into motion.
The enemy had fed the whole night by
all the roads, and in every direction. His
first posts were encountered beyond Wcis-
sen6urg, and ho did not make any resistance
until we had reached the heights ehnd
Reichenback. The enemy had not yet seen
our cavalry.
Gen. Lebrene Droucttes at tie head of
1900 horse, Polish lancers, and the red Ian
GERS OF the guards, charged in the plain of
Reicherbach the enemy's cavalry, and over
threw it. The enemy believing that they
were alone, caused division OF cavalry to
advance, and many divisions engaged sue
cesfully. Gen. Latour SA1au bourg with his
400 horse, & the French and Saxon Curias
sier came to their succour, and many char
ges of cavalry took place. The enemy quite
astonished t. find before them Is or. 10 900
horse, when they believed we were entirely
destitute of it, retired in disorder. The red
lancers of the guards were composed chiefly
of volunteers from Paris and it's environs.
Gen. Lebrene Denouttes and Gen. Colbert,

praise. In this affair of cavalry, c len. Bruy-
ere, an officer of the ligh. cavalry of the
highest distinction, had his leg carried away
by a ball.
Gen. Regnier repaired with the SaXony
corps to the heights beyond Reicheubach.
and pursued the enemy quite to the village
of Hottendorf--Night found us league from
Goerlits. Although the day had been very
long, Since we found ourselves 8 leagues from
the field of battle. and the troops had ex-
perienced so much fatigue, the French ar
my might have slept at Goerlitz but the
enemy he'd body of their. rear guard up
OH a height in front of this town, and ano-
Their half hour of day light would have been
necessary to have turned it by the left. The
Emperor therefore ordered that we should
| take up our quarters.
In the battles of the Goth and 21st, the
Wurtemburg general Franquement and gen.
Lorencez were wounded. Our loss on those

He expired twelve hours afterwards. The
moment the posts were placed, and the ar

found him in perfect possession Of his mind
and exhibiting the greatest composure. The
Duke pressed the hand of the Emperor, anc

hour with his head supported in his lief
hand with the most profound silence. TIL,
