achievements sufficient for a whole campaign. Three pieces of cannon, seren ammunition waggons, 17,000 French muskets, and about 3,000 cuirasses fell into the hands of the conqueror. The loss on both sides was very great this, and the circumstance that very few prisoners were taken by either party, proves the determination of the combatants either to conquer or die. The Austrian armiy laments the death of 87 superior officers, and 4,199 subalterns and privates. Lieutenant-generals prince Rohan, Dedovich, Weber, and Frenel, general Winzingerode, Gril, Neustadter, Seigenthal, Colloredo, May Hohenfeld, and Buresch, 663 officers, and 15,651 subalterns and privates were wounded. Of these, field-marshal lieutenant Weber, 8 officers, and 129 men, were taken prisoners by the enemy. The loss of the enemy was prodigious, and exceeds all expectation. It can only be accounted for by the effect of our concentric fire on an exceedingly confined field of battle, where all the batteries crossed one another, and calculated by the following authentic data. Generals Lasnes, D'Espagne, St. HiJaire, and Albuquerque, are dead; Massena, Bessieres, Molitor, Boudet, Legrand, Lasalle, and the two brothers Legrange, wounded; Durosnel and Fouler taken. Upwards of 7,000 men, and an immense number of horses were buried on the field of battle; 5,000 and some hundred wounded lie in our hospitals. In Vienna and the suburbs there are at present 29,773 wounded; many were carried to St. Polten, Enns, and as far as Lintz ;2,300 were taken. Several hundred of corpses floated down the Danube, aud are still thrown upon its shores;

many met their death in the island of Lobau, and since the water has fallen in the smaller arms of the river, innumerable bodies, thus consigned by their comrades to everlasting oblivion, have become visible. The burying of the sufferers is not yet over, and a pestilential air is wafted down the theatre of death. His imperial highness, the generalissimo, has indeed undertaken the duty so dear to his heart, of acquainting the monarch and the country, with the names of those who took the most active share in the achievements of these glorious days; but he acknowledges with profound emotion, that, amidst the rivalship of the highest military virtues, it is scarcely possible to distinguish the most valiant, and declares all the soldiers of Aspern worthy of public gratitude. His imperial highness considers the intelligent dispositions of the chief of his staff, general baron Wimpffen, and his incessant exertions, as the foundation of the victory. The officers commanding corps have rendered themselves deserving of the highest favours by uncommou devotedness, personal bravery, warm attachment to their sovereign, and their high sense of ho

well known valour, both in the reconnoisance of the 20th, and in the engagements of both days, bestows particular commendations on the conduct of colonel Trapp of the staff, of colonel Hardegg of Schwarzenberg's hulans, of major Scheibler of Rosenberg's light horse, of heutenant-colonel Lutz and lieutenant Laghetty and Manz of the first battalion of jagers. Lieutenantgeneral baron d'Aspre, at the head of his brave grenadiers, whom he led with the most determined intrepidity into fire, deems lieutenantcolonel Bissingen and majors Puteany, Kirchenbetter and Winiawsky, worthy of particular commendation. Sub-lieutenant count Rezewusky distinguished himself in a manner that does him the highest honour. This young man was captain in the Austrian militia, and be ing afraid at the commencement of the war that he should be obliged to remain with his battalion in the interior, he endeavoured to procure his removal to a regiment of light horse; and as there was no vacancy, he entered as a cadet and volunteer into Kienmayer's hussars, in which he was soon promoted to a sub-lieutenancy. On the attack of the grenadiers he voluntarily accompanied lieutenant-general D'Aspre into the thickest of the fire; and when the field-marshal's horse was shot under him, he sprang from his, and presented it to him with these words “You want him more than I."He then joined on foot in the assault made by the grenadiers, till a wound he received put an end to his exertions. As a reward for such extraordinary zeal, his imperial highness has appointed sub-lieutenant count Rezewusky captain in the bulans. Many individual traits of

heroism are not yet known, and consequently cannot be recorded.Thus corporal Prager of Zettivitz's, took prisoner one of the enemy's chefs d'escadron before the mass of his battalion. Corporals Donner and Horner, and the privates Pressich, Herma, and Schmerba, of the battalion of prince Kinsky's legion, were cut off by a fire of musketry from their corps, and surrounded by the enemy's cavalry, they fought their way through, and rejoined their battalion. The Oberjager Fickerberger and the Unterjager Schaffer of the second battalion of jagers, penetrated into the French emperor's guard, and seized one of the enemy's captains in the midst of his ranks. The private Larda, of duke Albert's cuirassiers, retook a six-pounder which had fallen into the enemy's hands, and brought it back with its equipage. Serjeant Pap, of Chasteler's, snatched the colours of his battalion, from the hands of the dying first lieutenant Cazan, who had himself taken it from the ensign who had been killed, and headed his troop with the most exemplary intrepidity. Among the artillery there are few but what highly distinguished themselves by deeds of the most daring and contempt of every danger. But a grateful country will not fail to hold in honourable remembrance the departed heroes who found death in the arms of victory. In this number those particularly worthy of mention are, colonel de Fiennes, of Bellegarde's;-major Dauzer, of O'Reiley's ;--major Gerdech, of Froon's;--captain Charles Kaiser and Konovsky, of Rosenberg's ;captain Surgeant, of Reuss Greyz's;

first lieutenant Cazan, of Chasteler's ;-and lieutenant Zakazill, of Gg3

From the Lisbon Gazette Extraordinary, June 1.-Letter from D. Manuel De Uria Y Llano, to his Excellency Senor Francisco De Silveira.

Most Excellent Sir-I have received a dispatch from general de Valdeorras D. Jose Ranaon de Quiroga e Vria, dated in Cosoyo, the 23d current, which is as follows:

"I just received from the Secretary of the Junta of Montforte, a letter of the 21st instant, of which the annexed is a copy :- "Irmao, governor of Quiroga, informs me, that the French have been engaged with our army during three suceessive days. The principal action was at Ponte-vicevo, between Meira and Lugo, in which the enemy lost 3,000 men in killed and prisoners, and 2,000 Germans who abandoned his standard. The firing ceased on the 20th, at ten in the morning, when a capitulation was proposed. I could not prevail upon myself to delay communicating to your excellency intelligence so agreeable. You will have the goodness to inform their excellencies the English and Portuguese generals of these events." To which I have to add the following: "The army of the marquis de la Romana attacked the French on the side of Meira, and pursued them to Paraday. From thence the enemy retreated to Clemente, where he was surrounded, and a terrible fire of artillery and musquetry was opened upon him. Not until many were killed, he fled towards Lugo, leav

ing in our hands three pieces of cannon among the other spoils of our victory. Our troops followed up to the gates of the city, in the full expectation that the place would be taken either by capitulation or force. By good fortune the Apostle Mazarredo who so often has sworn on the Evangelists, fealty to his king in Astorga, happened to be in Lugo, in company with Lot. Ney has esca ped, and we are assured that he entered Asturias with 2,000 men, and for our consolation he will probably there remain. The English are in sight of Corunna and Ferrol with a great number of vessels, and have determined to disembark at those places.--Farreira, 21st of May,

1809.

The same general writes me also as follows:-At seven o'clock this evening, I received an official dispatch of the capture of Lugo, by marshal Don Nicholas Mahi, general second in command of the Army of the Left, in the absence of his excellency marquis de la Romana, commander in chief. This action was glorious, not only from its im- 2 portant effects, but on account of the obstinate resistance of the enemy, who, in the sequel, was con quered with the loss of 4,000 men in prisoners, wounded and killed. I cannot express too strongly my praises of the determined valour of the Spaniards, from whose exertions I expect the best results, and which have already acquired for us in this affair six pieces of artillery, and a quantity of ammunition. I hope you will communicate these acceptable articles of information, with the applause due to the brave, to generals Beresford, Silveira, and whomsoever else they may concern, accompanied also by my best acknowledgments.
