TWENTY-FOURTH BULLETIN.
VIENNA, 4TH JULY.
Gen. Broussier had left in the city
of Gratz two battalions of the 84th
regiment of the line, and marched to
Wildau, in order to make a junction
with the army in Dalmatia ; the 26th
June the general Giulay appeared be-
fore the city of Graetz with 10,000
men. The 84th regiment were can-
toned in one of the suburbs of the city
and repelled all the attacks of the en-
emy, overthrew it in every direction,
took 500 prisoners and two standards ;
maintained their position for 14 hours,
and gave, by that means, time to gen.
Broussier to come to their assistance ;
this battle, in which the enemy
were ten to one against us, has cover-
ed the 84th regiment and their com-
mandant with glory. The standards
were presented to his I. & R. Majesty
Napoleon on the parade ground.-
We have to regret the death of 20 men
and 92 wounded.
On the 30th of June, the duke of
Auerstadt ordered an island that lies
close to the left bank of the Danube.
on which the enemy had collected
some troops, to be attacked. The
gen. Gudin, conducted the affair with
great precision, and colonel Deconz.
at the head of the 21st regiment of
infantry belonging to the line, per-
formed the operation. - At 2 A. M.
this regiment passed over to the island,
a part by swimming and part in boats ;
put 1500 men to rout, made 250 pris.
oners; amongst these are the colonel
of the regiment of St. Julian, and sev.
eral officers. Five pieces of cannon
which had been brought on the island
to its defence, were taken.
But no Danube exists any longer
for the enemy. The general count
Bertrand, according to the plans of
the emperor; has executed such works
on the Danube, as nothing of the kind
can be compared to, and which had
excited the general admiration.
On a breadth of 2400 feet and over
the most rapid current of the world,
in about 20 days, a bridge has been
erected, consisting of 60 arches, and
so broad that three waggons can cross
it abreast. Another only eight feet
broad for the infantry, & a very large
floating bridge were constructed. We
can cross the Danube in three columns.
Immense fortifications have been erect-
ed on the different adjacent islands, in
order to protect the works of the
bridges, and secure our passage.
From the appearance of this enor-
mous work, one would believe, that
many years have been required to its
performance, though it has not taken
more than 20 days labor. The tete
de ponts which protect the bridges,
are elegantly finished.
The island Lobau is now one of the
strongest fortresses, provided with an
immense quantity of provisions of ev.
ey description; 100 large cannon,
and 20 mortar pieces. The general
Le Grand is in possession of the woods
by the tete de ponts. The enemy's
army is in order of battle, covered by
fortifications (redoubts) and has his
left wing posted by Enzendorf the
right by Great Apern. Several skir.
mishes have already taken place.-
Our crossing the Danube being now
made easy, and our bridges secured
against every attack, the fate of the
Austrian monarchy will be decided by
a single battle.
The prince Gagarin, the adjutant
of his Russian majesty, arrived this
morning at 5 o'clock in Schoenbrunn,
just as the emperor was going to
mount his horse. He had left St.
Petersburgh on the 8th of June. He
brought relations of the marches and
achievements of the Russian army in
Gallicia.
The emperor Napoleon left Schoen.
brun, and is in encampment since two
days. The tents are beautiful ; they
re erected after the Egyptian fashion.
TWENTY-FIFTH BULLETIN
WALKERSDORFF, 8TH JULY.
Passage of the arm of the Danube to the Island of
Lobau.
On the 4th, at 6 in the evening,
Gen Oudinot embarked 500 of gen.
Courbon's voltigeurs on the great arm
of the Danube. Col. Baste, with 10
gun boats carried them out and land-
ed them beyond the confluence of the
lesser arm of the Lobau in the Danube.
The batteries of the enemy were soon
silenced, and he was pursued from the
wood to the village of Muhlau.
At 11 o'clock in the evening the
batteries planted against Enzersdorff
received orders to begin to fire. The
howitzers reduced this unfortunate
small city to ashes, and in less than
half an hour the enemies batteries
were silenced.
At 2 o'clock after midnight, the
army had [the figure is illegible] bridge
es, and the left wing debouched, un-
der the protection of the batteries 1500
toises below Enzersdorff, and the right
at Wittow. The corps of the duke of
Rivoli (Massena) composed the right
wing, that of Oudinot the centre, and
Auerstadt's (Davout) the left wing.
The corps of the duke of Ponte Corvo
(Bernadotte) of the Vice Roy, and of
Raguza (Marmont) the guard and
the cuirassiers composed the 2d line
and the reserve. The great darkness,
a heavy storm and a rain which pour-
ed into the streams rendered this fa-
vorable to the French army, and glo.
rious as it was to eventuate.
On the 5th at the earliest dawn ev-
ery man perceived the emperor's plan,
who was now with his army in order
of battle at the furthest extremity of
the enemy's left wing, had turned all
his entrenchments, rendered all his
works useless, and had compelled the
Austrians to move out of their posts,
and to give him battle upon ground
which was advantageous . This great
problem was accomplished, and with-
out passing the Danube any where
else, without even any support from
the works, the enemy was obliged to
fight three quarters of a league from
his redoubt. Now was anticipated
the greatest and most happy result.
At 8 in the morning, the batteries,
which played upon Enzersdorff, had
produced such an effect that the ene-
my was fain to take possession of it
with 4 battalions. The duke of Ri.
voli ordered his first aid de camp St.
Croix to march against it, of which he
possessed himself without much oppo-
sition and captured every thing in it.
Count Oudinot surrounded the for.
tress of Sachsengang, which the enemy
had garrisoned, compelled 600 men
which defended it to surrender, and
took 12 pieces of cannon. Now the
emperor ordered his whole army to
display upon the immense plain of
Enzersdorff.
Mean while, the enemy who had
committed an error in his plans, re-
covered from his astonishment, and
endeavored to command some advan-
tages on the new field of battle. For
this purpose he detached many col.
umns of infantry, a great number of
artillery, and all his cavalry, as well
of the line as new levies, in order if
possible to outflank the right wing of
the French army. Wherefore he took
possession of the village of Rutzendorf.
The emperor ordered count Oudinot
to take this village, and ordered the
duke of Auerstadt to pass on the right
of it, and direct himself against the
head quarters of the archduke Charles,
as he was continuing to march from
the right to the left.
From noon till 9 o'clock in the eves
ning we maneuvered in this vast plain.
We took all the villages, and as we
approached the heights of their en-
trenched posts, they retired from them
as though through magic. The duke
of Rivoli caused them to be taken pos-
session of without opposition. In this
manner we got into our power, the
works of Essling and Gros Apern,
and thus the 40 days work of the ene-
my was rendered totally useless to him.
At Raasdorf, which the duke of
Ponte Corvo caused to be attacked
and taken, he met with some opposi.
tion. The enemy was every where
put to flight and annihilated by the
superiority of our fire. The immense
field of battle remained covered with
his fragments.
BATTLE OF WAGRAM.
Greatly dismayed by the progress
of the French army, and its great re-
sults occasioned almost without an ef.
fort, the enemy ordered all his troops
to march, and in the evening took the
following position: His right wing
extended from Stadlau to Gernsdorf,
his centre from Gernsdorf to Wa-
gram, & his left wing from Wagram
to Neustadt. The left wing of the
French army was at Great Apern,
its centre at Raasdorf, and its right
at Glinzendorf. In this order night
came on, and we prepared for a great
battle the next morning. The posi-
tion of the enemy was reconnoitered
throughout, in order to hinder him to
adopt any system, after we should take
already extended, precarious, and sur-
prised by a change of camp, must
have suffered the different corps to be
mixed without order or object, and
the affair would soon be terminated
without any serious conflict. Wagram
was attacked, our troops took the vil-
lage: but a Saxon column and a
French column in the dark took each
other for enemies, and the operation
miscarried.
Already we were preparing for the
battle of Wagram. It appears that
the dispositions of the French and
Austrian generals were opposed to
each other.
The emperor employed the whole
night to draw together his force into
the centre, where he was personally
within cannon shot of Wagram. For
this purpose the duke of Rivoli march-
ed to the left of Aderklaa, and left a
single division at Apern which had
orders in case of necessity to retreat to
the island of Lobau. The duke of
Auerstadt had orders to advance be-
yond the village of Gros-Hof, in order
to approach the center. The Austri-
an general in the meantime weakened
his center. in order to occupy and
and strengthen his wings, to which he
gave an additional extent.
On the 6th at day break the Duke
of Ponte Corvo occupied the left wing:
In his second line was the Duke of
Rivoli. The Vice King closed in the
centre, where the corps of Count
Oudinot, that of the Duke of Raguza,
the corps of the Imperial Guard, and
the division of Cuirassiers formed 7 or
lines.
The Duke of Auerstadt
marched from the right wing to reach
the centre. The enemy on the other
hand placed the corps of Bellegarde
at Raasdorf in March: the corps of
Colloredo, Lichtenstein and Muller
united with the right wing in the posi.
tion of Wagram, where the Prince
of Hohenzollern was, and at the end
of the left wing at Neustadt, where
the corps of Rosenberg debouched,
and by a curved movement at the ear-
ly dawn fell upon each other and gave
the signal for battle.
The Emperor equally commenced
at this period, ordered the Duke of
Auerstadt to be reinforced by the di.
vision of Cuirassiers of the Duke of
Padua, and the corps of the Rosen-
berg to be taken in flank by a battery
of 12 pieces of division of general
count Nansouty In less than three
quarters of an hour the fine corps of
Auerstadt had defeated the corps of
Rosenberg and pursued it beyond
Neustadt, and did it great injury.
Meanwhile the cannonade became
general through the whole line, and the
disposition of the enemy disclosed it-
self every moment. His whole left
wing was lined with artillery. It
might be said, that the Austrian gen-
eral prepared not to obtain a victory
but that he had in view only the means
of taking advantage of it. This dis.
position seemed so unskilful, that a de-
feat was anticipated, and the emperor
waited some time before he ordered
the small disposition which was neces
sary, to frustrate that of the enemy
and to render it a misfortune to him.
He ordered the duke of Rivoli to
attack a village which the enemy oc.
ccupied, and by which the centre of
the army was a little galled. He or.
dered the duke of Auerstadt, to take
the position of Neustadt, and thence
to advance to Wagram, and ordered
the duke of Raguza and general Mac-
donald to form in columns to seize
upon Wagram the moment the duke
of Auerstadt debouched.
After these occurrences we were in-
formed that the enemy made a despa-
rate assault upon the village which
the Duke of Rivoli had taken; our
left wing was surrounded at 3000 toi-
ses; a violent cannonade was already
heard at Gross Apern, and the whole
interval between Gros Apern and
Wagram was occupied by an immense
line of Artillery.—No doubt was left
about it.
The emperor in this situation, or-
dered general Macdonald to form the
divisions of Broussier and Lamarque
into columns for the attack. He or-
dered them to be supported by the
divisions of gen. Nansouty, the horse-
guards and forty detachments of dif.
ferent corps, Gen Count Lauriston
marched at the head of this battery of
100 pieces of artillery against the en-
emy, approached him without firing,
till he came within half cannon shot
and then commenced an astonishing
fire, whereby slaughter and death were
carried into the enemy's ranks. The
general of division Routhe supported
with the brigade of fusileers and tirail-
leurs the guard of gen. Macdonald.
The guard altered its front to render
the attack infallible. . In a moment
the center of the enemy lost a league
of ground. His astonished wing mark-
ed the danger of the situation in which
it was and in great haste moved back.
Now the Duke of Rivoli attacked him
during the flight of the center and the
movement forced the right wing.
Neustadt was taken from his left wing.
by the Duke of Auerstadt, who ascend-
ed the hill and marched against Wag-
divisions of Broussier and Gudin co-
vered themselves with glory.
It was now 10 o'clock in the morn.
ing, and intelligent men saw that the
day was decided, and that victory was
on our side.
At noon, Count Oudinot marched
against Wagram, to support the at-
tack of the Duke of Auerstadt. He
succeeded, and he got possession of
this important station. From 2
o'clock the enemy thought of nothing
but his retreat. Since noon, this was
plainly going on and in disorder, and
long before night came on the enemy
was out of sight. Our left wing stood
at Jedersdorf and at Ebersdorf, our cen-
ter near Ebersdorf, and the cavalry of
our right wing was extended, their
posts at Schoenkirchen.
On the 7th at day break the army was in
motion, and marched against Baumersberg
and Walkersdorf, and took post at Nickols-
burg The enemy cut off from Hungary
and Mahren found itself on the side of Bo-
hemia driven into a strait.
Such is the representation of the battle
of Wagram, the distinguished and ever glo-
rious battle, where from 300,000 men
with from 120 to 150 cannon. fought for a
great interest, on a field which by the enemy
was studied and fortified for several months.
Ten standards, 40 cannon 20 thousand pris-
oners, among whom are from 30 to 40 offi-
cers, and among whom are a considerable
number of Generals, Colonels and Majors,
are the trophies of this victory.-The fields
of battle are covered with dead bodies, an-
ong whom were found the bodies of sever-
al generals, and among the rest that of Mr.
Normann, a Frenchman and traitor to his
country, who prostituted his talents against
it.-All the wounded of the enemy have
fallen into our hands. Those whom he
was able to carry off at the beginning of the
battle, were found in the environs of the
villages. We may compute that the result
of this battle cost the Austrian army in all
about 60,000 men ; our loss is estimated at
1500 dead and 3 or 4000 wounded.
At the moment when the Duke of Istria
was ordering the attack of the cavalry, his
horse was killed by a cannon ball The shot
struck the saddle and occasioned him a
slight contusion of the thigh
The general of division Lasalle was kill-
ed by a musket ball. He was an officer of
great merit and one of the best generals of
light horse.
The Bavarian General Van Wrede and
the Generals Perigaux, Grenier, Vignolle, Sahuc
and Defrance were wounded. Col Prince
Aldobrandini was struck on the arm by a
musket ball The majors of Chasseurs of
the guard, Dautancourt and Corbineau, and
Col. St. Croix were also wounded. The ad-
jutant Commandant Doprat was killed. The
Col. of the 9th regiment of infantry of the
line remained on the field of battle. This
regiment covered itself with glory.
