The deeds of the 7th, 8th and 9th have covered our brave fellows with glory. On the 7th, General Barclay thoroughly defeated Lauriston at Konigswart : they took 4 generals, 1, 500 prisoners, and 7 guns. On the 8th and 9th successively we had two pitched battles in posi- tion. The enemy vainly endeavoured to dislodge us, he was every time thrown back, and it was only by trying to outflank our right, and so forcing us to extend, that he profited by a moment when Blucher had weakened himself to su...pport our right, and forced him ; by over- whelming numbers, to withdraw from the heights. Our left, meanwhile, had put the French right to flight. However, Wittgenstein thought it safer to order a retreat. I was of the contrary opinion, and I think still that by supporting the advance of our left the enemy would have been defeated. Well, the retreat was made calmly and with admirable steadiness and order. I own I could not have thought such things could be except on a manoeuvring ground. Not a gun, not a wheel fell into the enemy's power, while we took one gun of him.
