Nanzouty, the horfe guards, and -40 dt-tuclimrnts of different corps. General count Laurillon, marched 'at the head of this battery of 100 pieces of artillery againil the enemy, approached him without firing till he came within half cannon ihot, and then commenced an aftonilhing fire, whereby llaughter and death were carried into the enemy's ranks. The general of divifion Heille, fupported with the "brigade ef fufileers and tualleurs ihe guard of general Macdonald. The guard altered its front to render the attack infallible. In a moment the centre of the enemy loft a league of ground. His aftonifhed wing marked the danger of the fituation in which it was, and in great hafte moved back. Now the Iuke of Rivoli attacked him during the flight of the centre, and the movement forced the right wing. Jeuftedel was taken from his left whig, "by the duke of Auerftadt, who afcended the hill, and march.ed againft Wagram, attacked and iurrounded it. The divilions of Jkouflier 8c Gubin covered themfelves with glory. It was now ten o'clock in the morning, and intelligent man fa w that the day was decided and that victory was on our fide. At noon, count Oudinot marched againil Wagram, to fupport the attack of the duke of Auerftxidt. Hefucceeded, and he got pofleflion of this important ftation. From ten o'clock, the enemy thought of nothing but his retreat. Since noon, this was plainly going on, and in diforder, and long before night came on, the enemy was out of fight.

diftingiiifhed and ever glorious battle, where from 3 to 400,000 men with from 12 to 1500 Gannon, fought for a great interelt, on a field which by the enemy was ftudied and fortified for ieveral months.

The fields of battle are covered with dead bodies, among whom were found the bodies of feveral generals, and among the reft that of Mr. Normann, a Frenchman and traitor to his country, who proftituted his talents againft it. All the wounded of the enemy have fallen into our hands. Thofe who he was able to carry off at the beginning of the battle, were found in the invirons of the villages.
