On the 19m., at day break, the
duke of Auerstadt marched in t«o
columns/ the divisions ol Moraud
and Gudin composing his right
the divisions of Si. Hilaire tk fri’
ana composing his left. The di
vision Ait. H i ire arrived at the
village of Passing, and met the
enemy, superior in number, hut in
ferior in valor.
From that mome nt, the camp
aign was opened by a combat, glo
rious to our arm-. General St. Hi
laire supported by general Friana
overthrew all that was before htm,
forced tlie position of ihc eucuis,
killed a great number & ui.tde from
6 to Tiu prisoners. Thi*72ddistin

maintained itsuucieiit reputa
tion. Sixteen years since, this rc
giinent «as called in Daly Jhe
1 ernble , and it has well justified
its name in this afGir, as by itself
it successively attacked and over
threw six Austrian i. gunciits.
On the left, at two o’clock in
the afternoon, general Moranu
oiet likewile an Aulfriau Uivib
on, which he atiacjted m the van,
while the duke ol Dan:z:c, wuii
a Bavaiian corps, which came
from Abenfberg, attacked them
m the rear. This division was
loon routed from all us pofiii
ons, & left forne hundreds dead
and prisoners.
The old regiment of dragoons
of Levenher was destroyed by
the Bavarian lighuliorle and its
colonel killed.
A* the close of the day, the
corps of the duke of Danzic
formed a junction with that of!
the duke of Aueiftadt,
In all these affairs, the generals !
St. Hilaire and Friana, have |
particularly diltinguifhed them

1 hefe unhappy Austrian troops
who had been brought from Vi.
emu, with the noise of longs 6c j
were made to believe that
• here was no longer any French
irmy in Germany, and that they
rad only to do with the Bavari
uis, and Wirtemburgers. They
(hewed all their relentment a-
the chiefs, for their errors
into which they had led them,
and their terror was very great
at the fight of those ancient
bands, whom they had been ac
cuHomed to conbder as their
uia(ters.
In all these battles our lof*
has been inconsiderable, in.com.
pardon to that of the enemy,
who bit many officers and gen
erals, who were compelled to
put themfeives in the van, to
encourage their troops. The
prince of Lichtenileiu, the gen.
eral Lufignan, and feveial oth
er ofliceis were wounded.
The lots of the Aultrians in
colonels and officers of inferior
grade, is veiy conhderable.
