the events would be too ae it is sufficient 
to say, that the enemy was completely routed 5 
that they lost the greater part of their-cannon, 
anda great numberof priscners 3 and that the 
Austrians, driven fromthe woods which cover 
Ratishon, were-forced into the plain, and cut 
off by cavalry. The Austrian cavalry, strong 
and numerous, attempted to cover the retreat 
of their infantry, but they were attacked by 
the division 6f St. Sulpice on the right, and vy 
the division of Nausoutz on the left; and the 
enemy’s line of hussars and cuirassiers routed; 
more than 300 Austrian cuirassiers were: siaie 
prison ers. As the night was commencing, 
our Cuirassiers continued their march to Ratis- 
bon. . The division of Nausoutz, met with a

Battle of Ratisben, and taking of that place. 
On the 23d, at day-break, the army ad- 
vanced upon Ratisbon ; the advanced guard, 
formed by the division of Gudin, and by the 
cuirassiers of ‘Nausoutz and St. Sulpice, -and 
_they very soon came in sight of the enemy’s 
cavalry, which attempted to cover the city. 
Three successive charges took place, all of 
which wereto ouradvantage. Eight thousand 
of their troops having ‘been cut Co pieces, the 
enemy preécipitately repassed the Danube. 
During these proceedings, eur light infantry 
tried to-get pass«ssion of the city. By a most 
mnaccountable disposition of his force, the 
Austrian General sacrificed six regiments there 
without any reason.. The city is surrounded 
with a bad wail, a bad dicch, and a bad coun- 
. terscarp. The artillery having arrived, the 
eity was battered with some 12-pounders. It 
was recollected that there was one part of the 
fertifications where, by means ofaladder, it was 
possible to descezid into the ditch, and to pass. 
on the otherside through a aoe the wall.

All those who made resistance were cut to- 
pieces: thenumber of prisoners exceeded 8000. 
in consequence of these unskilfu! dispositions, 
the enemy had not time to destroy the bridge, 
and the enemy passed pell- mell with them to 
the leit bank. This uniortunate city, which
