Before five in the evening the battle had been lost at all

points. More than a hundred cannon were already in the hands of

the French.

Przebyszewski and his corps had laid down their arms. Other

columns after losing half their men were retreating in disorderly

confused masses.

The remains of Langeron's and Dokhturov's mingled forces were

crowding around the dams and banks of the ponds near the village

of Augesd.

After five o'clock it was only at the Augesd Dam that a hot

cannonade (delivered by the French alone) was still to be heard

from numerous batteries ranged on the slopes of the Pratzen

Heights, directed at our retreating forces.
