ZITTAU, July 31.
The following is the order of the day by which the Archduke Charles notified to the army his resignation of the commander in chief.
Very important reasons have induced me to request his majesty to accept my resignation of the command of the army entrusted to my. I yesterday received his consent and at the same time his orders to transfer the chief command to the General of Cavalry Prince of Lichtenstein. While I leave the army I take the most lively interest in its fate. The perfect conviction I have of its bravery, the confidence I place in it, and the constant habit of dedicating my exertions to its service, under this separation, indescribably painful, I flatter myself that it participates in, and returns this sentiment.
(Signed) CHARLES.
