On the 18th, the la.stand decisive day of thN gigantic conflict, the Prince pushed on, with his cavalry in the centre, to the environs of Leipzig, fn the afternoon. H hen the left wins, under General Co- loroda, was ven furiously attacked by the French, it was asked whet Cavalry would goto the support of this wing? Though a greater force was wanted than Leopold had with him, he never- tlielecs ollered himself, as there was no Austrian Cavalry at hand, and went to the assistance of Colorcda. On the 19th he marched to the support of Gen- '•inlay, and followed the advanced #* f ' - V f guard and tiiis corps to the vicinify o Rrfifffc "The Frince then proceeded to Franlvfort, n here he remained during ti:c residence of the Allied Sovereigns i- that city, and afterwards went thro' Swabia and Switzerland to France.

When, however, the enemy on the *20th sud- eenly retired from the Murne and the Aube, flip Ailied troops of tlie right marched tfl the left upon Arcis, b\ which movement the. main army effected its junction. The French now made a ven impetuous aMaek, which the allied] army repul-cd w:»h the greatcM firm¬ ness, on which occasion the Prince had fo support therijht wiu^.
