 Battle of Austerlitz. Dated, head-

 at Night. 



Soldiers of the grand army ! 

 Even at this hour — before this great 

 day shall pass away, and be lost in 

 the ocean of eternity, your emperor 

 must address you, and express how 

 much he is satisfied with the con- 

 duct of all those who have had the 

 good fortune to combat in this me- 

 morable battle. — Soldiers ! you are 

 the first warriors in the world. The 

 recollection of this day, and of your 

 deeds, will be eternal ! Thousands 

 of ages hereafter — so long as the 

 events of the universe continue to 

 be related — will it be told that a 

 Russian army of seventy-six thou- 

 sand men, hired by the gold of Eng- 

 land, was annihilated by you on the 

 plains of Olmutz. The miserable 

 remains of that army, upon which 

 the commercial spirit of a despicable 

 nation had placed its last hope, are 

 in flight, and hasten to make known 

 to the savage inhabitants of the north 

 what the French are capable of per- 

 forming ; they will likewise tell them, 

 that after having destroyed the Aus- 

 trian army at Ulm, yon saidtoVicnna, 

 ' that army is no more!' To Peters- 

 burgh you shall also say, ' theempe- 

 ror Alexander has no longer an army! 

 Soldiers of the grand army ! Four 

 months have not elapsed since your 

 emperor spoke thus to you at Bou- 

 logne; —
