The time, tlu refore, required by largo

calculation, nnd, con-equetitly, at the
present moment the following details of
the actual passage of n laige army
across the Danube wl not be without
Interest. May, 1(300; Napoleon deter

defeated on the right bank, bad retired

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
