few horse soldiers. Among a confused number in front, may
be noticed a man, in a scarlet dress, on a spirited grey horse,
firing his pistol at a body of infantry, who, in return, are
discharging their carbines. A second horseman, clad in
armour, mounted on a bay charger, is wounded, and has con-
sequently dropped his weapon, and raised his hand to his
head; in the rear of these is a body of troops, accompanied
by a trumpeter, arriving at full gallop. The sanguinary
effects of a long and severely contested battle, are visible in
every part of the same. This is a superlative production of
the artist. See description, No. 2, Vol. I. improved.
