The Wirtemburgh division at Hey denheim.

The Saxon troops encamped under the walls of Dresden.

The corps of the Dutchy of Warsaw, commanded by the Prince Poniatowsky, in the environs of Warsaw.

On the 19th the Austrian troops inrested Passau, where they surrounded a battalion of Bavarians, and at the same time invested Kufftein, where there was another battalion of Bavarians; these movements took place without even a shot being fired.

The Bavarian court quitted Munich for Dillingen.

The Bavarian division which had been at Landshut, went to Altorff, on the left bank of the Iser.

The division under the command of General De Wrede marched upon Neustadt.

The Duke of Rivoli left Ulm for the environs of Augsburgh.

From the 10th to the 16th the enemy's army advanced from the Inn to the Iser; there were several skirmishes between parties of the cavalry, in which the Bavarians were successful.

On the 16th at Pfaffenhoffen, the 2d. and Sd regiments of Bavarian light horse completely routed the hussars of Stipschitz, and the Rosenberg dragoons. At the same time the enemy appeared in large bodies, for the purpose of forming at Landshut; the bridge was broken down, and the Bavarian division, commanded by General Duroy, vigorously opposed this movement of the enemy, but being threatened by the columns which had passed the Iser at Moorberg and Freysing, this division retired in good order upon that of Gen. Wrede, and the Bavarian army took a central position upon Neustadt.

DEPARTURE OF THE EMPEROR FROM
PARIS.

On the 13th, the Emperor learnt by the telegraph, in the evening of the 12th, that the Austrians had passed the Inn, and he set out from Paris almost immediately. He arrrived at three o'clock on the morning of the 16th at Louisburg, and in the evening of the same day at Dillengen, where he saw the King of Bavaria, and passed half an hour with that Prince, and promised

BATTLE OF TANN.

On the 19th, by break of day, the Duke D'Aucrstadt began his march in two columns. The divisions of Morand and Gudin formed his right, the divisions of St. Hillaire and Friant formed his left. The division of St. Hillaire arrived at the village of Pressing, and there met the enemy, superior in number, but inferior in bravery, and there the campaign was opened by a battle, which was most glorious to our arms. General St. Hillaire, supported by Gen. Friant, overturned every thing that was opposed to him, and took all the positions of the enemy, killed a great number of them, and made between 6 and 700 prisoners.

The 72d regiment distinguished itself on that day, the 57th maintained its ancient reputation. Sixteen years ago this regiment obtained in Italy the name of THE TERRIBLE. In this action they maintained their pretensions to that title; they attacked singly six Austrian regiments in succession, and routed them.

On the left, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Gen. Moraud also fell in with an Austrian division, which, be attacked in front while the Duke of Dantzic, with a corph of Bavarians,

which had marched from Abensberg, atracked thein in the rear. This division was soon driven from all its positions, and left several hundreds in killed and prisoners. The whole regiment of the dragoons of Leverher was destroyed, and its colonel killed by the Bavarian light-horse. At sun-set the division of the Duke of Dantzic formed its junction with that of the Duke of Auerstadt. In all these affairs Gen. St. Hillaire and Friant particularly distinguished themselves. Those unfortunate Austrian troops who had been led from Vienna with music and with songs, and under persuasion that there was no longer any French army in Germany, and that they would only have to deal with Wirtemburghers and Bavarians, displayed in the strongest manner, the resent ment they felt against their chiefs, for the error into which they had been led and their terror was the greater when they saw those old bands which they had been accustomed to consider as their master.

In all these battles our loss was inconsiderable, compared with that of the enemy, who lost a number of general officers and others, who were abliged to put themselves forward to give courage to their troops. The Prince of Lichtenstein, Gen. Lusignan, and others were wounded. The loss of the Austrians in colonels and officers of lower rank was considerable.

BATTLE OF ABENSBERG.

The Emperor resolved to beat and destroy the corps of the Archduke Louis and General Keller, which amounted to 60,000 men, on the 20th, his Majesty took post at Abensberg; he gave orders to the Duke of Auerstadt to keep the corps of Hohenzollern, of Rozenberg, and Lichtenstein, in check, while with the two divisions of Morand and Guden, the Bavarians and the Wirtemburghers, he attacked the army of the Archduke Louis and General Keller in front, and caused the communications of the enemy to be cut off by the Duke of Rivoli, who passed by Freyberg, and from thence proceeded to the rear of the Austrian army. The divisions of Moraud and Guden formed the left, and manœuvred under the orders of the Duke of Montebello. The Emperor determined to fight that day at the head of the Bavarians and Wirtemburghers. He ordered the officers of these two armies to form a circle, and addressed

them in a long speech. The Prince Royal of Bavaria translated into German what he said in French. The Emperor made them sensible of the confidence which he reposed in them. He told the Bavarian officers that the Austrians had always been their enemies that they now wished to destroy their independence; that for more than 200 years, the Bavarian standard had been displayed against the "Austrians. But at this time he would render them so powerful that they alone should be able to contend with the house of Austria. He spoke to the Wirtemburghers of the victories they had obtained over the house of Austria, when they served in the Prussian army, and of the advantages which they had recently obtained from the campaign in Silesia. He told thein all, the moment was come for carrying the war into the Austrian territory. This speech was repeated to the different companies by the captains, which produced an effect which may easily be conceived. The Emperor then gave the signal for battle, and planned his manoeuvres according to the particular character of the troops. Gen. Wrede, a Bavarian officer of great merit, was stationed at Siegenburgh, and attacked an Austrian division, which was opposed to him. General Vandamme, who commanded the Wirtemburghers, attacked the enemy on their right flank. The Duke of Dantzic, with the division of the Prince Royal, and that of Gen. Deroy, marched towards the village of Renhausen, in order to reach the grand road from Abensberg to Landshut. The Duke of Montebello, with his two French divisions, forced the extremity of the enemy's left, and overthrew every thing that was opposed to him, and advanced to Rohr and Rosemburgh. Our cannonade was suc cessful on all points. The enemy, disconcerted by our movements did not fight for more than an hour, and then beat a retreat, Eight standards, 12 pieces of cannon, and 18,000 prisoners, were the result of this affair, which cost us but a few men.

BATTLE OF LANDSHUT.

The battle of Abensberg having laid open the flank of the Austrian army, and all their magazines, the Emperor, by break of day, on the 21st marched upon Landshut. The Duke of Istria defeated the enemy's cavalry in the plain before that city. The general of

division Mouten, made the grenachers of the 17th advance to the charge on the bridge, forming the head of a column. This bridge, which was of wood, was set on fire, but that was not an obstacle to our infantry, who forced it, and penetrated into the city. The enemy driven from the position, were then attacked by the Duke of Rivoli, who had advanced by the right bank. Landshut fell into our power, and with Landshut we took 30 pieces of cannon, 9000 prisoners, 600 ammunition wag gons, 3000 baggage waggons, and the hospitals and magazines which the Austrians had began to form. Some couriers and aids-de-camp of the Commander in Chief, Prince Charles, and some convoys of wounded men, coming from Landshut, also fell into our hands.

BATTLE OF ECKMUHL.

While the battle of Abensberg and that of Landshut produced such im portant consequences, the Archduke Charles had formed a junction with the Bohemian army under Kollowrath, and obtained some partial success at Ratisbon. One thousand of the 65th, who were left to guard the bridge of Ratisbon, and who had not received orders to retreat, having expended their cartridges, and being surrounded by the Austrians, were obliged to surrender. This event made an impression upon the Emperor, and he protested that in 24 hours Austrian blood should flow in Ratisbon to resent the insult which had been offered to his arms. During this time the Dukes of Auerstadt and Dantzic held in check the corps of Rosenberg, Hohenzollern and Lichtenstein. There was no time to be lost. The Emperor began his march from Landshut, with the two divisions of the Duke of Montebello, the corps of the Duke of Rivoli, the cuirassiers of Nansoutz and St. Sulpice, and the Wirtemburgh division. At two o'clock in the afternoon they arrived opposite Eckmuhl, where the four corps of the Austrian army, consisting of 110,000 men, had taken a position under the command of the Archduke Charles. The Duke of Montebello attacked the enemy on the left, with the division of Gudin. On the first signal the divisions of the Dukes of Auerstadt and Dantzic, and the division of light cavalry of Gen. Montbrun, took their position. One of the most beautiful sights which war can present then presented itself, 110,000

men attacked on all points, turned on their left, and successively driven from all their positions: the detail of the events would be too long; it is sufficient to say, that the enemy was completely routed; that they lost the greater part of their cannon, and a great number of prisoners; and that the Austrians, driven from the woods which cover Ratishon, were forced into the plain, and cut off by cavalry. The Austrian cavalry, strong and numerous, attempted to cover the retreat of their infantry, but they were attacked by the division of St. Sulpice on the right, and by the division of Nansoutz on the left, and the enemy's line of hussars and cuirassiers routed, more than 300 Austrian cuirassiers were made prisoners. As the night was commencing, our cuirassiers continued their march to Ratisbon. The division of Nansoutz met with a column of the enemy, which was escaping, and attacked it, and compelled it, to surrender; it consisted of three Hungarian battalions of 1500 men.

The division of St. Sulpice charged another division of the enemy, where the Archduke Charles narrowly escaped being taken. He was indebted for his safety to the fleetness of his horse. This column was also broken and taken. Darkness at length compelled our troops to halt. In this battle of Eckinuhi not above half of the French troops were engaged. The enemy, closely pressed, continued to defile the whole of the night in small divisions, and in great confusion. All their wounded, the greater part of their artillery, 15 standards, and 20,000 prisoners, fell into

our hands.

BATTLE GF RATISBON.

On the 23d, at day-break, the army advanced upon Ratisbon; the advanced guard, formed by the division of Gadin, and by the cuirassiers of Nausoutz and St. Sulpice, and they very soon came in sight of the enemy's cavalry, which Three attempted to cover the city. successive charges took place, all of which were to our advantage. Eight thousand of their troops having been cut to pieces, the enemy precipitately repassed the Danube. During these proceedings, our light infantry tried to get possession of the city. By a most unaccountable disposition of his force, the Austrian general sacrificed six regis ments there without any reason. The city is surrounded with a bad wall,

bad ditch, and a bad counterscarp. The artillery having arrived, the city was battered with some 12 pounders. It was recollected that there was one part of the fortifications where, by means of a ladder, it was possible to descend into the ditch, and to pass on the other side through a breach in the wall. The Duke of Montebello caused a battalion to pass through this opening; they gained a postern, and introduced themselves into the city. All those who made resistance were cut to pieces: the number of prisoners exceeded 8000. In consequence of these unskilful dispositions, the enemy had not time to destroy the bridge, and the French passed pell-mell with them to the left bank. This unfortunate city, which they were barbarous enough to defend, has suffered considerably. A part of it was on fire during the night, but by the efforts of Gen. Moraud, and his division, it was extinguished. Thus, at the battle of Abensberg, the Emperor beat separately the two corps of the Archduke Louis and Gen. Keller, at the battle of Landshut. He took the centre of their communications, and the general depot of their magazines and artillery; finally at the battle of Eckmuhl, the four corps of Hohenzollern, Rosenberg, Kollowrath, and Lichtenstein, were defeated. The corps of Gen. Bellegarde arrived the day after the battle; they could only be witnesses of the taking of Ratisbon, and then fled into Bohemia. In all these battles our loss amounted to 1200 killed and 4000 wounded!

[Then follows a list of the French officers killed and wounded, and very high eulogiums upon the different French generals.]

Of 222,000 of which the Austrian army was composed, all have been engaged except 20,000 men commanded by General Bellegarde. On the other hand, near one half of the French army has not fired a shot. The enemy astonished by our rapid movements, which were out of their calculation, were in moment deprived of their foolish hopes, and precipitated from a delirium of presumption to a despondency approaching to despair.

SECOND BULLETIN.

Head quarters, Muhldorff, April 27. On the 22d, the day after the battle of Landshut, the Emperor left that city for Ratisbon, and fought the battle of

Eckmuhl. At the same time he sent the Duke of Istria with the Bavarian division nnder General Wrede, and Moltor's division to proceed to the Inn, and pursue the two corps of the Austrian army beaten at Abensberg and Landshut.

The Duke of Istria arrived successively at Wilsburg and Neumark, found there upwards of 400 carriages, caissons, and equipages, and took from 10 to 1100 prisoners in his march.

The Austrians found on the other side of Newmark a corps of reserve, which had arrived on the Inn; they there collected and gave battle on the 25th.

The Bavarians, though inferior in number, preserved their position. On the 24th the Emperor had sent Rivoli's corps from Ratisbon to Struberg, and from thence to Passau, where it arrived on the 26th. He passed the Inn and occupied Scharding.

On the 25th Montebello had orders to march upon Muhldorff. On the 27th he passed the Inn, and proceeded from thence to Salza.

To day the Emperor's head quarters are at Muhldorff. Jellachick's corps, who occupied Munich, is pursued by the Duke of Dantzic.

The King of Bavaria has shewn himself at Munich. He afterwards returned to Augsburg, where he will remain some days, intending not to fix his residence at Munich, till Bavaria shall be entirely delivered from the enemy.

On the side of Ratisbon, the Duke of Auerstadt is gone in pursuit of Prince Charles, who is cut off from his communication with the Inn and Vienna, and has no other resource than that of retiring into the mountains of Bohemia, by Waldmunchen and Cham.

With respect to the Emperor of Austria, he appears to have been before Passau, in order to besiege that place with three battalions of the Landwerk,

All Bavaria and the Palatinate are delivered from the presence of the enemy.

At Ratisbon, the Emperor passed several corps in review, and caused the bravest soldiers to be presented to him, to whom he gave distinctions and pensions, and the bravest officers, to whom he gave baronies and lands,

Hitherto the Emperor has carried on the war almost without equipage and guards; and one has remarked, that in

the absence of his guards, he had always about him the allied Bavarian and Wirtemberg troops; wishing thereby to give them proofs of his confidence.

It was reported that the Emperor had had his leg broken: the fact is, that a spent ball grazed the heel of his boot, but did not touch the skin. Never was bis Majesty in better health, though in the midst of the greatest fatigue,

It has been remarked as a singular fact, that one of the first Austrian offi cers made prisoners in the war, was the aid de camp of Prince Charles, sent to M. Otto with the famous letter, purporting that the French army must retire.

The inhabitants of Ratisbon having behaxed very well, and evinced that patriotic and confederated spirit which we have a right to expect from them, his Majesty has ordered that the damages done shall be repaired at his expence, and particularly the rebuilding of the houses burnt, the expence of

which will be several millions.

All the sovereigns and states of the Confederacy evince the most patriotic spirit.

When the Austrian minister at Dres den delivered the declaration of his court to the King of Saxony, the latter could not contain his indignation."You wish for war, and against whom? You attack and you inveigh against a man, who three years ago, master of your destiny, restored your states to you. The proposals made to me afflict me; my engagements are known to all Europe; no prince of the confederacy will detach himself from them."

necessa

The Grand Duke of Wurtzburg, the Emperor of Austria's brother, has shewn the same sentiments, and bas declared that if the Austrians advanced to his territories, he should retire, if ry, across the Rhine-so well are the insanity and the invectives of Vienna appreciated! The regiments of the petty princes, and all the allied troops are eager to march against the enemy. A notable circumstance, which terity will remark as a fresh proof of the signal bad faith of Austria, is, that on the day she wrote the annexed letter to the King of Bavaria, she published in the Tyrol, the proclamation signed by Gen. Jellachick. On the same day she proposed to the King to be neutral, and invited bis subjects to rise. How can
