Geschrieben in Teplitz den 13ten<\/sup> Sep. 1813<\/em>.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mein Lieber guter Vater, gestern hatten wir wieder einen warmen Tag. Die Franzosen sind bis Nollendorf<\/em>1<\/sup> vorgedrungen und haben sich einiger sehr vortheilhaften Anh\u00f6hen bem\u00e4chtiget, so da\u00df unsere Position einigerma\u00dfen umgegangen war. \u2013 Es handelte sich also ihm von Seiner Stellung wechzubringen.[2]<\/a> \u2013 Um 4 Uhr in der Fr\u00fch waren wir schon alle auf unsere Posten und 2 Stunden darauf waren die Berge von Nollendorf in unserer Macht \u2013<\/strong> Die Garde vertheitigte[3]<\/a> sich auf das Beste. doch mu\u00dfte sie denen Russen, die Wittgenstein[a]<\/a> und unter<\/em>[4]<\/a> den der General Palen<\/em>1<\/sup>[b]<\/a> commandirte weichen. Herzog August von W\u00fcrtenberg machte auf den Feind auch einige superbe Angriffe. Colloredo machte einen Ausfall bey Breitenau<\/em>1<\/sup>[c]<\/a> und so waren die Franzosen bis um 1 Uhr Mittags \u00fcber die Gr\u00e4nzen B\u00f6hmens, und um 4 Uhr Nachmittags bey Gie\u00dfh\u00fcbel<\/em>:1<\/sup>[d]<\/a> Heute verlie\u00df er seine ganze Stellung, und nahm die Richtung gegen Bl\u00fccher,[e]<\/a> der anjetzt 160 m[5]<\/a> Mann stark ist \u2013 Wie ich mir denke schlagen sich in diesen Moment Napoleon und<\/em> Bl\u00fccher<\/em>:1<\/sup> bald werden wir das resultat davon h\u00f6ren, besonders da wir vieleicht in ein paar Stunden bis Pirna<\/em>1<\/sup> und K\u00f6nigstein<\/em>1<\/sup> vordringen werden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Der Aufenthalt in Teplitz f\u00e4ngt an wirklich ganz unertr\u00e4glich zu werden, da es vor Kranken, und Verwundeten wimmelt: wir hoffen alle heute hierher nicht mehr zuruck zu kommen. Von der Suite des Feldmarchall\u2019s, so wie auch des Wittgensteins und Barclai dy Toll\u00ff\u2019s[f]<\/a> ist bis jetzt nur ein einziger Officier todt gescho\u00dfen worden \u2013 Im Grunde ist\u2019s umbegreiflich[6]<\/a> wie die Franzosen schlecht schie\u00dfen und wie sie bey jeden Gefecht mehr verlieren wie die Russen und Ostreicher –<\/strong> Gestern zum Beyspiel, es war doch ein niedliches Gefecht, haben wir nicht mehr als 1200 Mann verloren, und haben Gefangene nur allein \u00fcber 2.000 gemacht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00dcbrigens befinde ich mich<\/em>4<\/sup> beynahe wieder ganz gut \u2014 und meine Kr\u00e4fte bekomme ich auch ganz obwohl ich so rasend viel herum reiten mu\u00df, da\u00df meine Beine um einige Zoll schon l\u00e4nger geworden sind. \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morgen um diese Zeit hoffen wir vieleicht in Pirna seyn zu k\u00f6nnen dessen Wegnahme uns aber sehr viele Menschen kosten wird \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So bald mir\u2019s m\u00f6glich seyn wird \u2013 werde ich Euer Gnaden von da einiges schreiben<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stepherl<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eben werde ich zum Feldmarschall geruffen, verzeihen Euer Gnaden, da\u00df ich so schnell endige ~ Wenn\u2019s m\u00f6glich ist so werde ich morgen wieder schreiben<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The French advanced as far as Nollendorf, captured some important highs and threatened to surround the Allies. The Allies’ objective was to retake these highs, which they did between 4 and 6 in the morning. The French Guards fought well, but had to retreat from the Russians under Generals Wittgenstein and Pahlen. The Duke of W\u00fcrttemberg also made a good charge. Colloredo made a breakthrough against Breitenau, driving the French out of Bohemia by one o’clock in the afternoon, and by four in the afternoon pushing them back as far as Gie\u00dfn\u00fcbel. Today Napoleon abandoned his position and moved against Bl\u00fccher, who now has 160,000 troops. More detailed news will be coming soon, especially as they may be advancing to Pirna and K\u00f6nigstein within hours. The stay in Teplitz is becoming intolerable as the place swarms with sick and wounded people. Of the escort of Schwarzenberg, Barclay de Tolly and Wittgenstein, only one officer has fallen this day. It is incomprehensible how the French can shoot so badly and why they lose more men than the Russians and Austrians in every battle. Yesterday, for example, the Allies lost no more than 1200 men, while they took more than two thousand prisoners of war alone. Otherwise, he is quite well again and regaining his strength, although he has to run around so much that his legs have stretched a few inches. This time tomorrow they may be at Pirna, but taking it will involve a huge loss of human lives. If he can, he will write again the next day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3403,3370,3518,3402],"tags":[3426],"language":[3416],"addressee":[3411],"place_of_writing":[3547],"qualification":[3383],"place_of_keeping":[3550],"place_of_publication":[3551],"class_list":["post-11482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-szechenyi_ferenc-en","category-csalad-en","category-ifjusag-en","category-a-katonaevek-en","tag-military","language-german","addressee-ferenc-szechenyi","place_of_writing-teplitz-en","qualification-original","place_of_keeping-mnl-ol-p-623-a-i-9-no-43-11-en","place_of_publication-zichy-77-78-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11482"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11482\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11491,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11482\/revisions\/11491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11482"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=11482"},{"taxonomy":"addressee","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/addressee?post=11482"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_writing","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_writing?post=11482"},{"taxonomy":"qualification","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/qualification?post=11482"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_keeping","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_keeping?post=11482"},{"taxonomy":"place_of_publication","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/szechenyilevelezes.abtk.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place_of_publication?post=11482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
