,
Tat - formed the crisis of the bitde, and no',
sooner 110 the:Eirchduke seen the :aiovetnent l
of this;.terr;ble' column of eight bdtuAlioni,
compos t ed of sixteen Thousand men, ppm'
his centre, than. he kne4 that thehonr . o(
Europe's destiny, and of his own ,
had
. .
come.
He itninediate' ly doubled the lines at the
threatened poi4t, and brought up the veseived
cavalry, while two hundred cannon were wheel'-.
eJ arouitd, the tipot on which such destinies,
hung: and opened a steady fire on the advanc.
ing column.
Macdonald immediately ordered" a hundred
cannon to precede him, and answer the Aus
trian batteries, which swept the ground like a
storm of-sleet. The cannoniers mounted their
horses, and started on a rapid trot with their
hundred, pieces, approached to within a halt
cannon shot and then opened on the enemy's,
!yanks. The column marched up to this bat-.
wry, and with it, at its head, belching out fire,
like some huge monster, steadily advanced. .
The Austrians fell back, and closed in, on
each other, knowing that the final struggle had
come. At this crisis of the battle, nothing,
could exceed the sublimity and terror 'of the
scene. , The Whole, interest of the armies was
Concentrated here. where the incessant and
rapid roll of cannon told how desperate was the
conflict.
.Still Macdonald slowly advanced. though,
his numbers were 'diminishing. and the fierce
battery at his head was gradually becoming
silent.' • Enveloped in the fire of its antagonist,
ihe guns had one by one been dismounted.
and at thtitliatance of a unite and a half from
the spot where he started on his awful Mis
sion.
Macdonald found himself without a protect
ing battery, and the centre still unbroken.—
Marching over the wreck of his guns, and
pushing the , naked head of his column into the
open field, and into the devouring cross lire of
the Austrian artillery, he continued to advance.
The carnage then became terrible. At every
discharge, the head of thatcolumn disappeared.
as if it sank into the earth, while the outer
ranks, on either side, melted away like suotV
.
Wreaths, on the river's brink.
No pen can describe the intense anxiety
with which Napoleon watched its progress.—
On just such a charge rested .his empire at
'Waterloo, and in its failure . his doom was.
sealed. But all the lion of Macdonald . s na
ture was aroused. and he had fully resolved
to execute the task given Jilin or fall on the
Ltill he towered unhurt , amid his falling
guard, and with his eye fixed steadily on the
enemy's centre, 'united steadily on. At the
close and fierce discharges of these cross batte
ries on its mangled head, that column would
sometimes stop and stagger back, like a strong
ship when smitten by a wave. next mo
ment the drums would beat their hurried charge,
and the calm steady. voice of Macilonald ring
back through his cxnausteti -ranks, nerving
them to the desperate - valor that filled his own
spirit._
Never before was there such a charge made
and it seemed at every moment that the torn
and mangled mass must break and fly.
The Austrian cannon are gradually wheeled.
around till they stretch away in parallel lines
like two walls of fire_on each side of this band
of heroes, and hurl an incessant tempest of •lead.
against their bosoms. But the stern warriors
close in and fill up the frightful gaps made .at,
every, discharge. and still press onward.
Macdonald has communicated his own set
tled purpose to conquer or die, to his devoted ,
followers.
There is no excitement—no enthusiasm—
such as Murat was wont to infuse into his men
when pouring on the foe his terrible cavalry.,
No cries of Pirc 1 Empereur." are heard
along the lines : but in their place is an unal
terable determination that nothing but annihila
non can shake. The eyes of the army and of
the world are on them, and they carry Napo
leon's fate as they go.
But human strength has its limits, and ho
man effort the spot where it ceases forever.—
No living man could have carried that column
where it stood, but the iron-hearted leader at
its head. But now he halts, and cats his eYe
over his surviving band that stands all alone in
the midst of the enemy. lie looks back on his.
path, and as far as the eve can reach, be sees'
the course of his heroes by the black.swath• of
dead men that stretches like a huge serpent
over the plain. Out of sixteen thousand men.
with which he started, only fifteen hundred are.
left beside • him." Ten out of. every eleven
have fallen. anti here at length the tired hero.
