Intoxicated with the dangerous success
which he had gained in the plains of Fleuius,
a success which caused tears of blood to be
shed by every body but himself, Bonaparte,
that pretended great captain, had the mad
stupidity to, entangle the whole of our army
in an ambuscade, where it was crushed by
numbers. and entirely vanquished on the 18th
OF June, at the foot of the Eaon mountain. In

norance of Jerome Bonaparte, who command
ed that operation, caused OF 5000 men TO be
cut up. This miserable Jerome took care to
keep out of danger as much a. possible ne

On the 10Th. the armies were opposed 10

French only made the victory doubtful, by
losing at least 200 600 men.
Ga the Eth, the English army made 81

and the Prussians upon its left to cover Ma
muir. But these two armies were connected
BY formidable position fortified by cannon,
circumstance unknown to Bonaparte, who
had the folly to believe and announce that
the two armies were separated.
On the 18Th, Bonaparte without having re-
counoitred the intermediate position which
ne supposed undefended, placed ms whole ar
