and 2sh OF June the Austrian loss much more So
than that OF the Prussans amounting to somc n
thousand Officers who present in these
fights com back despair ng of the result The troops
they say fought bavely ons but could do nothing
against the murdcrous effects Of tho terrible stsnd
aadei ges0ehr' Prussan needle rife-which, being
loaded and fred from Ave TO seven times minute,
swept down their advancing squadrons as ball storm
sw reps down the headed grain.
The result too Of these days fighting alto

pished by what they desred-the junction Of their
two armies, which, amounting to some three hun
drcd thousand men, probably lighting to-day gen

tho Prussians into saIony would have been hoty

for its possession before Dresden
II is said that at the special request Of the
King OF Saxony who did not wish 70 SEQ bis beautiful
capital destroyed tst this not done and that the
