The Russians were entirely broken ; their army, surprised in a flank move- ment, had been cut into as many separate masses as there were columns brought up to attack it. They fled in disorder, and the victory of Austerlitz was decided. It was with the utmost difficulty that the two emperors of Russia and Austria effected their personal escape. The Emperor Alexander lost all his artillery, baggage, and standards ; twenty thousand prisoners, and upwards of twenty thousand killed and wounded. In t...he preci- pitate flight, the wounded were abandoned to their fate. Kutusoff, however, with laudable humanity, left placards in the French language, on the doors of the churches and the barns towards which they had crept, inscribed with these words : — " I recommend these unfortunate 23 178 CAMP-FIRES OF NAPOLEON. men to the generosity of the Emperor Napoleon, and the humanity of his brave soldiers." ^ In attempting to escape across some frozen ponds, the Russians broke through, and a large number of them were drowned.
