Bernadotte, Serrurier, division generals.
Capture of the town of Gradisca. The enemy
surrounded there, with neither the
ability to defend, nor the hope to
escape, capitulates; 3,000 men,
Prince Charles' elite,
are taken prisoners; the French
capture 10 guns and 8 flags.
Massena, division general.
Crossing of the Casasola bridge. The enemy
which was defending it is disorganised
and loses 600 prisoners.
