The French army had fostits rear guard, and ‘they ound thems (wis at once exposed te ali tie operations of the vengelul envy, Oi tie right and on the ctl there was ne €scupt ; Canon, bayonets, and sabres, men- accd them on every Sudc ; certam death was on thelr rear ; ia thew frout alone was there any hope of saiety 3 and, frantic with the desperate aitévnative, thousands upon thousands flew towards the Borezina, some plunging mito the river, but most directing thelr steps wo the newly cous ructed bridg- es, which seemed to offer nein a passage from heir enemies. Misery bad long dis- vorganized the French army, and in the present dismay tio voice of order was heard; the taal was tremendous, was destruc tive of cach oder, as the duspairinl wretches pressed torward and stiuggied for procedoney in the momem of escape. & Vigtensien stood in diotior, viewing this ciaos of human misery ; io close 1t at oiice lo deat, of un capitlation was the Wwishol his brave hear; But the cuémy was francs noting could he heard but Abe oar of cannion aid thc cries of despair: Tae woundudrand tae dylag covered the surface of the ground; the survivors rusned wild fucy ups taeir affiighted comrades” on the bridges. They could aot pencurate, but ony press upoi a crowd at the nearest extremity 3 for the whole bodies of these possages were so filled wita desperate (a- gatives that they crusued on each other to suffocation aad to death. < Frams of artitle« ry, baggage, cavalry, and waggons of all kinds, being mtcemixed and deivet pels mell to one pot, hundreds of human bes ings were rodden down, wampled on, torn and mashed to piecess Oticers and sol- dicrs were mingled inoue mass ; self pres- ervation was the only stimulus, and seck- dug that, many a despairing wretch preeip- tated his comrade to destruction, that he wnight find his place onthe bridge.

Welcome mdeed were the deaths it scut; few were his pangs who fell by the ball or the sabres compared with his torture who lay mangled beneath by 8 - the crewtlinig feet of his comrades, who exe pred amid the crashing horrors of a world ofice. But the despair of these fated wretches was not yetcompicte. The head which had planned ail these evils might yet be amongst them : and the bridges, groan- ing beneath the weight of their loads, were to be fired !
