I have seenwomen come to be killed at a breach. Every house has to be taken by storm;and without great precaution we should lose many soldiers, there being inthe town 30, 000 or 40, 000 men, besides the inhabitants. We now hold Santa-Engracia as far as the Capucine convent, and have captured fifteen guns. In spite of all the orders I have given to prevent soldiers from rushingforward, their ardor getting the better of them has given us 200 woundedmore than we ought to have. " And a few days aft...erwards: "The siege of Saragossa resembles in nothingany war we have hitherto had. It is a business requiring great prudenceand great energy. We are obliged to take every house by mining or assault. These wretches defend themselves with a keen determination which isinconceivable. In a word, sire, it is a horrible war. At this moment threeor four parts of the town are on fire, and it is crushed with shells, yetour enemies are not intimidated. We are laboring might and main to get tothe faubourg; and once we are masters of it, I hope the town will not longhold out.
