the Russian line standing more exposed. je space 
between the armies, though marshy in weather, 
‘was passable at this season of ice andsnow. Bo- 
naparte accordingly made two large columns move for- 
ward, the one against the centre, the other against the 
right of the Russians ; but after advancing 300 yards, 
the havoc of the Russian artillery was so great as to 
break their order, and they returned in confusion. A 
subsequent effort directed against the Russian left, was 
equally unavailing, the Russians advancing and driving 
back their opponents with the bayonet.

to ’s general attack. Calculating that Da-
