tive divisions. The country and 

 the sovereign wish to be acquainted 

 with the supporters of their inde- 

 pendence, glory, and greatness; 

 their names sliall sliine in the an- 

 nals of Austria; till then I can 

 only name and reward those whose 

 distinguished merit is either recog- 

 nized by the whole army, or whom 

 accident brought nearer to my per- 

 sonal observation. 



Prince John of Lichtenstein, ge- 

 neral of cavalry, has immortalized 

 his name. This feeling, and my 

 ardent attachment to his person, 

 are pledges of the gratitude of our 

 monarch. I can reward him only 

 by the public expression of my es- 

 teem. In the name of his majesty, 

 I nominate as commanders of the 

 order of Theresa, baron Wimpfen, 

 col. Smolla, &c.

And whereas, although the said
