SIXTH OF JUNE. (COSTISOKD.) These unheard of preparations having been completed during the month of June, Napoleon gave orders for the entire force with which he intended to operate, to be aaaembled in the island on the 3d and 4th of July, and leaving Schoenburnon the 30th established his own head quarters there.

These troops defiled under the superintendence of Gen. Mathieu Dumas, and conaisted, when assembled, of the corps ot Massena, Davout, Oudinot, Mc- Donald, Bernadotte, Prince Eugene, Marmont, de Wrede, and the guard, in all 150,000 men. Of these one-sixth were cavalry, und onetwelfth artillery. This enormous force was provided with 550 pieces of cannon. All things taken into consideration, the world had never beheld such a host, brought into action by a single general.

Suspecting that the Archduke Charles had given him the slip, after all these preparations, and descended the Danube to to form ajunction with the remainsof the forces of the Archduke John, returned from Italy, Napoleon sent over in the night of the 30th the division of Legrand, by a bridge constructed near the former passage, to ascertain the truth. That division, having dispersed some advanced posts, was soon met by a heavy fire from all the batteries, and when the day dawned discovered the whole Austrian army. Napoleon was then satisfied, and prepared to effect the passage on the night of July 4th. The conduct of the Archduke Charles, on this occasion, has been severely criticised. He had constructed powerful works around Aspern, Essling and Enzersdorf, where the battle had been fought before, but he had neglected to fortify all that part of the left bank which lies between Enzeredorf and the wood, though it was opposite to the lower extremity of Lobau, which the French had covered with works of prodigious all that to oppose the heavy French batteries, he had but 5 pieces ofcannonon the plain, and a few troops in a castle situated in the wood.

He did not appear to have conceived it possible, that he would be attacked any where, but at the place where he had been attacked before. At the head of 100.000 men, and with an unlimited supply of matei iel, lie could have constructed works of such power along the whole length of Lobau, on the opposite shore, that it would have been impossible for Napoleon to have landed. It has been said that he should have selected a defensive position on the plain of the Marchfield, so that if, in spite of all obstacles, the French should succeed in forcing the passage, he might be ready to receive them should they think proper to attack. The ground presented every advantage to the General disposed to follow such a plan. The Russbach.a small stream, with marshy batiks, intersected the Marchfield, almost diagonally, and it had upon its left bank heights upon which the Archouke had Had he fortified these heights as he might have done, it was said that no force, however strong, could have carried them.

From this position to the Danube ran a second line of heights of a semicircular form, which the remaining portion of the army, it was said, ought to have occupied, so as to take the offensive as the French advanced, and cut them off from the Danube by attacking them in flank, while the left wing stood on the defensive. These two positions were connected by the reserve of cavalry and grenadiers. The Archduke did not do this, however, though he had had weeks to accomplish it. It was said, further, that he might have had on the ground two hundred thousand men, instead of one hundred and fifty thousand. He had been alarmed by the cannonade which Legrand's division had drawn upon itself, and descending from the heights, had remained in position during the Ist and 2d of July, when, finding that it was a mere feint, he withdrew.

One of his of had always occupied Aspern and Essling, and the intermediate works supposing that the French would cross there as they had done before, while Enzersdorf, the plaiu and the wood were only held by an advanced guard under General Nordmann, though there was no reason to suppose that the enemy might not land there any more than there was to suppose that he might not land at any other part of the line. The continual parage of troops into the Isle of Lobau on the 3d and 4ih, attracted his attention, and he fired some shots to disturb them, but the island being very wide, they, lor the moat part, fell short. The night of the 4th having been selected for the passage, at dusk Massena took his station on the left, opposite Enzersdorf. Farther down, opposite the plain, Davout drew up his corps, and still farther down, opposite the wood, the ground was occupied by At this last point armed boats were ready to carry over Oudinot's advanced guard, which was destined 'o go first. About nine o'clock' the vanguard of Tharreau's division, a part of Oudinot's corps, entered the boats, passed to the opposite shore in a few minutes, took the sentinel? of the enemy's advanced guard, and seized the only redoubt upon the plain, without losing more than a'dozen men.

The hawser was immediately mpde fast to a tree, and the boats, plying to and fro along it, soon brought over the rest of the division. The bridge destined for this spot, was completed in two hour-, while Tharreau's division kept up a constant fire against the enemy in the dark. Massena did not begin to pass until Oudinot was already over. At eleven he began the passage. Five boats, 300 men each, going first, landed their men, in spite of a brisk fire from the who had been loused by the firing of Oudinot's troops.

The soldiers jumped into the water, as the rafts approached the land, hauled them on shore, and made fast the hawser, when the boats bringing over reinforcements, the enemy's sharp-shooters were soon repulsed. The bridge in one piece was then let loose, and being fastened by some troops of corps, was made steady by anchors the middle, the whole operation having been completed in fifteen Hinciii'i wnole corpa then pasaed over. The ponton bridge, and the bridge o( refie were next fixed, and Devout'e corpa, with Massena'a aitillery paaaed By two o'clock, Oudinot. Maaaena end Davout were on the left bank, with 60 000 men. In the meantime, in order to favor the aage of bia troopa, and bewilder the enemy as much aa poaaible, Napoleon ordered all bia batteriea on the iale of Lobati and the leaser islands, and all the connon of hie armed boats, to open their fire at the same instant.

The night was as dark aa pitch. Just as the order waa on the point of being executed, one of the moat terrific thunder storms that had ever been known in that country, burst upon the armies It seemed as though the heavens themselves gave the signal for the work of destruction to commence, for simultaneously with the first clap of thunder, a volley from nine hundred pieces of the heaviest artillery mingled its roar with the elemental strife. The scene was sublime beyond all conception. The flash of the lightnings, the bowling of the winds, the deep roll the thunder and the loud crash of the aitillery, seemed to indicate that the consummation ofall things was approaching, and that nature herself would perish in tho strife. Aroused from their slumbers, by the terrific uproar, the terrified inhabitants of Vienna rushed by thousands to their doors, their windows, and the tops of their houses, to catch a glimpse of the scene.

At a few miles distance, they beheld the atmosphere a vast sheet of lurid flames, while the earlh trembled beneath them, and the city seemed about to topple from its foundations. What must have been the feelings of thote who knew that the fate of their country hung trembling in the balance, it is impossible even to imagine. Calm and impassive as the very marble which preserves his features to posterity, while nature seemed convulsed with the last agonies ofdissolution, Napoleon presided over the tempest he had roused from its slumbers. He went every where, and superintended every thing, giving his orders with as much coolness as though he had been dictating to his Secretaries at the Tuileries. Day at length dawned, and the sun rose clear and unclouded upon a scene of surpassing grandeur.

It was that of three hundred thousand men, with eleven hundred pieces of cannon, preparing to enter into deadly conflict. Seventy thousand men had already crossed over from the island. Oudinot on the right, after leaving a rear guard to bombard the castle of Sacksengnng in the marching up the Marchfield; immediately on his left was the corps of Davout. and to the left of Davout, Massena was advancing against the town of Enzersdorf, which was stilt in flames. Shortly after, the Imperial Guard passed on, and close alter them followed the Saxons, commanded by Beraadotte.

The army of Italy, commanded by Eugene and McDonald, the army of Dalmatia, commanded by and the Bat arians, under VVrede, having arrived last in the island, were the last to cross over. The castle of Sachsengang, and the town of Enzersdorf, were soon carried, and the army had nothing to dread on their rear. Determined to secure his retreat at all hazards, Napoleon had three more bridges built, and then began to deploy his forces. The French were formed in two lines. In the first line Oudinot was on the right, Davout in the centre, and Massena on the left.

In the second line, the army of Italy was on the right, the Bavarians in the centre, and the Saxons on the left. The Guard and the Curiassiers formed the reserve, in the rear. The artillery advanced in front of the several corps, the mounted troops were on the wings. Napoleon himself was in therentre. The army continued its march, pivoting upon its left, and deploying as it advanced after a fashion which has been com pared to the opening of a fan.

The corps of the first line separated to allow room for those of the second. The Austrians fell back as they advanced. The French artillery fired, and their cavalry charged continually on the march. The towns of Rutzendorfand Rachsdorf were taken as they thtee or four thousand prisoners. Essling and Aspern, the villages so hotly disputed a few months before, were taken in flunk by the corps of Massena, and entered without any difficulty.

The corps of the second line having entered the spaces left for them by the separation of those of the first, the whole French army was now in one line. The Austrian! fell back to the position which they definitively occupied. TO DEATH OF AN EMINENT VIRGINIAN. We regret to learn that Dr. Johu Brocken brough, died a lew days since, at an advanced age, at his residence, in County.

Dr. B. was so well known to the people of this community, that it is unnecessary for us to say more of him, than that he was a man of uncommonly strong intellectual that he was greatly beloved by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. He was President of the Bank of Virginia, for a great many years, and removed to Bath about ten years ago. Fine Substa.ntial We ackuow ledge the compliment of a parcel ot Bacon Hams from Messrs.

Woman termed the weaker sex, is possessed uf a charm of irresistible power: how important then that she ask nothing but what is light aud submit to nothing that is wrong. The Sunday School press of matter upon our local columns debars any extended notice of the different Sunday School celebrations. The Sunday Schools of the Ist and 2d Baptist Churches, with a large number of guests, proceeded, at about 9 o'clock on Monday morning, to the Slash Cottage, where they spent a joyous season of recreation and festivity. The oration, delivered by the Rev. Mr.

Howell, was of the most finished character, and was highly extolled. Three trains of cars carried up the entire party, numbering 1500 persons. The Oregon Hill Baptist School proceeded to Harrison's Grove, and spent the day in speaking and singing, and in partaking of an excellent dinner. They had an excellent celebration. The Grace Street Baptist School and the Sunday School connected with the Christian Church made very pleasant and thronged excursions up the caiv.l.

There were several other parties of pleasure of a more private character, and we have yet to hear of anything that occurred to mar their general harmony, or an appropiiate observance of the day. Rand's continued case of Oliver H. Rand, charged with being concerned in the late Portsmouth Bank robbery, by Mr. Marx, Cnsliier of the Bank of Virginia, came up before the Mayor on yesterday. Mr.

Mayo stated that an express messenger had been sent to Boston for testimony, and he would therefore ask a further postponement of the examination. Mr. R. G. Scott, in behalf of Rand, protested strenuously against the postponement.

He said that he had learned from an authentic source, that Abraham Rand had been atnined before the Mayor of Boston, on Saturday, aid discharged. He desired a final examination to take place. After some further argument, the Mayor adjourned the case over until Saturday. Rand was thereupon remanded to jail. Hknrico County to the absence of witnesses, the case of George with embezzlement, was adjourned over until the next term.

In the contested election case, after lengthy arguments, the election of Mr. Ellett, the pre sent County Clerk, was declared valid and binding. slave to John Enderg, was brought before his Honor, on yesterday, charged with stealing $150 from the pockets of Mr. P. G.

King, at the Clifton (louse, on Monday evening last. George was in the ha bit of sleeping ut the Clifton House, and it was proved that he was seen walking about the house, and near King's room, in the middle of the night. The print of a man's naked feet was discovered in the sand in the yard, and they were found, by comparison, to fit George's feel. Ou the same evening, another theft was committed, it is supposed, by George. Owing to the absence of testimony of materiality, the settlement of the case was postponed until Saturday.

Clark, ot the Adelphi, sent us over, yesterday, one of the choicest und tnost elegant bouquets it has ever been our good fortune to receive. It was as fresh and fragruut as though newly plucked from the groves of an earthly Paradise. The stnile of the belle of Shockoe Hill was not more attractive, or the roseate cheek of the Valley Lilly more tempting. The liberality of the esteemed giver was certainly never more judiciously exercised than in bestowing this token friendship upon our worthy selves. Send along the white hat.
