Napoleon's 'Attempt to Cross tiip Danube, in liar, 1809.

May, 1(300; Napoleon deter mined )o cross (lie Danube arid attack the Austrian Aimy.which, having been defeated on the right bank, bad retired 10 Hie north of the.rlver. Vailous con Iderniions, political as .well as military, Induced htm to select Vienna as the town In tile neighborhood ot which tho attempt should be made, and the a.'tual spot chosen by him was where the river is,(Uvnte(t,lnto two branches by tho Is. land Of Lnlmil Of'tlm arms llin mum soufhern ls the wider, the northern one liaving nn average width of 120 yards. The force at tho,' disposal of Nanoleon amounted In round numbers to 00,000 men, while the opposing army under the Command or the Archduke Charles was nbdut 100,001) strong. Keeping Ills design feoret, Naindeon was able to occupy the Island of Lnbau without op position. Bridging materials had been prepared, nnd In three liours. on the 20th of May, communication was es tablished by means of 15 pontoons bo tweenthe Island nnd the left bank. Be- fine dbrk a division of lluht cavalrv un der Gen. Lanlle, n division of Infantry under Molitor, aud a division of voltlg. eurs tinder Boudet, In all 13.!S00 men had tiled across, nnd, as the enemy had not become aware of Napoleon's' enter prlso, were able to' take up a strong position without being molested. But now the bridge gave way. The whole night was spent In the work of reDair. npd It was "Hot until morning that the pasnage of the river could be resumed. During the" early part of-tho forenoon of the 21tt,Mzula) 's cavalry, Er-pange's qulra-isleis, Lesrand's division of Jn fatitry, ajid some artillery, In nil about 0,000 men, crossed Over ; when again the bridge broke.' The Danube, which baib riven three ..feet, on tlie20,th, had risen lonr feet moro ufrlug tho fore noiiir'of the'2)st. 'In a few hours; bow- ever, communication was agaln.estfib llshed. aud in the eventm. St. (he's division nnd St. Germain's cavalry were hrouuht across, go that by nightfall Napoleon had altogether 30,000 men on the enemy's brink of the river. By this timo the Autrl in commander had re ceived Information of Napoleon's move ments, had assembled 30,000 of his troops, and already at one o'clock on the afternoon of the 21st, had begun an attack upjin.lhe French advanced guard. This, latter was disposed In a strong poisltioirin'the v'lllagts Essllngand As. pern, and 111IIII those were captured It was Impossible for the Au-trhns , to penetrato between them nod reach the head ot the bridge. Fur five hours the French ' defended themselves with the utmost obstinacy. Half of Molltor's division, which held Aspern.had fallen. The survivors were beginning to waver, when, luckily for them, the Archduke Charley seeing that un more French troops ''nine up from the bridge, which Ilot V1"1'1' repaired, and thinking Vmt M lma aune vn,m" i)'liK the debouche of the enemy, and tl.at lie c01llll "lorH e&ny nl11' mdro ceitalnly crlisl1 llwm ,"n f1,"3, '""rrow, when Ills own torce should have rrcelved rein forcements, gave orders to camp firing j nod duiing the night the prospects of .Napoleon were lit truth gloomy, ifur the third time the bridge leading from the rluht bank' of the river to tin) Island of Lobau broke, the Danube having" risen yet nuoiiier seven feet, or fourteen feet in all, The damage was, however, once morn repaired, and before day break Oudlnol's two divisions, the guard, St, IMalre's nod Demot's troops, in all 40,000 men, had begun to cross. By noon on the 22d Napoleon had CO,-. 000 men on the enemy's bunk But by tliis time the Austrlans nlso bad been reinforced, nnd, advancing to the at tack, pressed the French bard. At this critical moment the news reached Na poleon that once again nnd for the fourth time the bridge from the right bank to the Inland bad been Bwepl uway, being till time so much damaged that there was but little piuspeejt of being utile tn restore, lt. Thus iho Emperor found hliu'self dep'rived of any cliihce of receiving further reinforcements ; the furco Of' artillery across was but small, ammunition. vas running short, the inen were suffering seveiely ffuin the Austrluu onslaughts and'heavy tire, and St. llllalie and a host of his oiUcers were killed. All that remained to tie done was to endeavor to save Ids army from complete annihilation, by with, drawing it across the small arm or the river to the Island of libau. Lannes was ordered to cover the retreat, and lost his life In fulfilling bis task. The Ausiriaus made no vigorous pursuit, and by the' 23.1 1 lie French had once more placed the northern arm of the Daiube between themselves and the enemy, having lost 111.000 men in the two days' lighting.
