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.

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. Thou-
sands fell into the river, thouszuds threw
themslves in the hideous sueain, hoping to
save themselves by swimming, but a few
mingtes they were jammed anndst the
blocks ofice which rolled along its flood,
and either killed in the concusiou or frozen
to death by the extremity of the cold The
“girresonnded with the yells and shrieks (it
was something more horrible than cries) of
the dying, wounded, and drowning: but
they were only heard at intervals, for one
continued roar scemedto ll the heavens,
of the {ussianartllery pouring its floods
of deathful vetribution on the heads of the
desolators of this country. 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 ! The deed was done ; and still
crowd upon crowd continued to press vach
other forward choaking up the passage a-
mid bursting flamesy scorched and {rozen
at the same stant, till at length the whole
sunk with a death-like noise into the bosom
