Perhaps the discrepancy, which is but slight. May be reconciled by leaving out of the account the many who were but slightly wounded, a large proportion of whom have, we understand, already rejoined their regiments. An unusual number were wounded in the hand, which arose from their having to part the bushes as they were advancing on the enemy. This is a very small loss, in a great battle fought for the defence of the capital. It scarcely reaches one in sixty of our effective force. Compared with the losses -red in the great battles of Europe, it is -ly perceptible. When the Russians defended the city of Moscow, in the great battle of Borodino, they lost, according to the account of
