ground, and afterwards wrote the following ac-
count Of what he saw:


s.At one o'clock the cannonadlng ceased, ana
I went ont on foot to Soldin to learn i'll whose
favor the battle had turned. Towards evening
seven hundred Russian fugtives came to Soldn
It was a pillful sight; some holding up thell
hands cursing and swearing, others praying ant
praising the King of Prussia. without hats o
clothes, some on foot, others two on a horse
with their heads and arms tied up; some draggin!
along by the stirrups and others by the tails o
the horses.


"When the battle was decided, and victory
shouted for the Prussian army, | yentured to th'
place where the cannonading had been. Ate
walking some way, a Cossack's horse came running
full speed towards me- mounted him; and OF
my way, for seven miles and halt on this side
of the field of battle found the dead and wound
ed lying on the ground, and sadly cut IN pieces
The further advanced the more these poor crea
lures lay heaped one upon another


..That scene | shall never forget The Cos

dear sir, water! water.' Gracious God! what {
sight!-men, women, and children, Russians anc
Prussians, carriages and horses, oxen, chests anc
baggage, all lying one upon the other to the heigh
of a man; seven villages all around me i'll flames
and the inhabitants either massacred or thrown
into the fire.


THE poor wounded soldiers were still firing
at one another in the greatest evaporation. The
field of battle was plain two and half miles
long, entirely covered with dead and wounded
There was not room 10 set my foot without tread

filled up with Russians, that they lay heaped one
upon another as high as ten or twelve feet, anC
appeared like hills to the even ground. coult
hardly recover myself from the fright occasones
by the great and miserable outcrv OF the wounded
A noble Prussian officer, who had lost both hi
legs, cried out to me. Sir, you priest, anl
preach mercy; pray show me some compassion
and despatch me at once
