* The name given by Macdonald to the engagement of July 5. T Fir. St day of the Battle of Essling.
•( r rrrr-K from tiif. Marshal 175 Never, sir, had two armies a mightier force of artillery, never was battle fought more obstinately. Picture to yourself 1, 000 or 1, 200 pieces of cannon vomiting forth death ujjon nearly 350, 000 combatants, and you will have an idea of what this hotly-disputed field of battle was like. The enemy, posted upon the heights, entrenched to the teeth in all the villa...ges, formed a sort of crescent, or horse-shoe. The Emperor did not hesitate to enter into the midst of them, and to take up a parallel position.
His Majesty did me the honour of giving me the command of a corps, with orders to break through the enemy's centre. I, fortunately, succeeded, notwithstanding the fire of a hundred guns, masses of infantry, and charges of cavalry, led by the Archduke Charles in person. His infantry would never cross bayonets with mine, nor would his cavalry wait till mine came up ; the Uhlans alone made a stand, and they were scattered.
