THE battle of Eylau, fought on the 8th of February, 1807 was a scene of carnage which lasted from morning until night, and the result presented a most horrible scene. Let any one imagine to himself, upon the space of a square league, nine or ten thousand dead bodies, four or five thou- sand horses killed, whole lines of Russian knapsacks, bro- ken pieces of muskets and sabres, the ground covered with cannon balls, howitzer shells, and ammunition, twenty-four pieces of cannon, near which were ly...ing the bodies of their drivers, killed at the moment when they were striving to carry them off 1 and all this was the more conspicuous, as the ground was covered with snow. About noon on the 9th, Napoleon rode over the field. The Emperor stopped continually to question the wounded, to console and succour as many as possible. The Russians, instead of the death they expected, found a generous con- queror, and prostrating themselves before him, held up their hands in token of their gratitude. The Emperor, mounted upon a light bay horse, was ac- companied by Princes Murat and Berthier, Marshals Soult, Davoust, Bessieres, and General Caulaincourt, Mouton, Gardaune, and Le Brun.
