AT Hohenlinden, Bavaria, the
,Austrians commanded by Arch
duke John, were defeated with
great loss by the French under
Gen. Moreau. 1t was q hard fought
battle. the Imperialist killed and
wounded emountiug to 10, 900 men
and their loss in prisoners to 10,-
600 mere. The forces opposed
were nearly equal in numbers.
The other great battle of the
year was at Marengo, in North
Italy. June IA. shortly after Napo-
leon had made his memorable pas
sage Of the Alps. The French
army was commanded by Bona
parte himself. The Austrians out
numbered the French three to one
and the latter were at first driven
back, but the obstinate resistance
of Desaix. who had just arrived
from Egypt. and the charge of the
brave Kellerman, changed the re-
suit. The battle ended in a COM
plete overthrow Of the Austrian
army. Among the killed on the
side of the French was the heroic
Gen. Desaix. The slaughter on
both sides was dreadful. Napo-
leon compared the advance of the
Anstrians during several hours OF
the battle to the extraordinary
power of the British column dis
played at the battle of Fontenoy,
Belgium, fifty-fve years before
between the French and the Eng
lish, Hanoverians, Dutch and Aus
trians.
By q treaty between the Aus
trian general, Melas. and Bona
parte, signed the day following Ma
rengo. the latter obtained twelve
strong fortresses and became the
master Of Italy.
The very day of the battle OF
Marengo. Kleber. whom Napoleon
had left in Egypt. was assasslnated
by o Turkish fanatic, and shortly
afterward the entire French army
was. obliged to surrender to the
English. The French reversed II
Egypt, however, were soon made
mp BIZ fresh victories in Europe
Moreau's success at Hohenlinder
was not the frst Of the year. al
though the most important, as il
opened the way to Vienna. Hi
army Or l8o. 900 had invaded Ger
many and defeated the Austrian'
three times in May-at Engen
Moeskirch and Biberaeh. A
Hochstadt, a city on the Danub'
in Bavaria. he won again in June
A few days after the battle of Ma
rengo the city of Genoa, in North
ern Italy. was surrendered to tn
French. During May and half @
] June it had been blockaded by
British feet and Austrian arm!
! until, literally starved. it was evac
uated by capitulation.
The battle of Marengo was thu
I result OF the termination Of thu
Z armistice between France and Aus
: tria. the negotiations for peace
-etween France and England hav'
ing failed. This victory and that
Of Marengo broke the power OF
Austria. so that nothing remained
Tor the emperor but to accept such
texmsas France chose to dictate.
