ed triumph to the cOnquerOrs, OF utter defsat9o
the vanquished. NAPoLEoE was vic orious. but
lis evident "auOher such victory would ruin him."

The most wonderful part of this bsttle-and in
dee the most wonderful characteristic Of the whole
eampGign-is, that the AustriaDs when beaten we're
allowed TO evaeuate the field of battle without puT-
suit Whether this is moderation. policy, or ne

rot yet tell Nor VIC tell Whether he looks upon
this Austrian army as sportsman looks upon the

were content 10 retreat, the contemplated attack
