It was a dreadful moment. Many of the British soldiers despaired of victory, but made up their minds to die where they stood. Their General alone did not despair of success. His streugtii was impaired; ...but Napoleon's nearly exhausted. At this moment the 5th division was reduced from 6000 to 1 SOO men, and these stationed in that part of the line, against which the utmost fury of the enemy was directed. With these were the 4:2d and 92d regiments, the latter reduced to less than 200 men.
