testimonies of bravery and fidelity which the former subjects of your Majesty have displayed, in proof of their attachment to your august house. The brave Tyrolians, driven to despair by the extinction of their constitution, which had been preserved intire and inviolate under the dominion of your Majesty, and that of your august ancestors, took up arms on the 10th inst. attacked the Bavarian troops at Stergingen, at Inspruck, at Hall, and at the Convent of St. Charles, and after having killed or wounded more than 500 of the enemy, commpelled them to surrender and capitulate. On the 12th, a body of about 300 men, composed of French and Bavarian troops presented themselves before Wildau, near Inspruck, sus tained a similar defeat to that of the former, and a reinforcement of French troops which came up on the 13th did not meet a better fate. As prisoners are continually coming in, I am not as yet enabled to ascertain the number of them with precision but there have already been brought in, and sent on their way to Saltzburg the French General Bisson; several officers of the staff; from 3,000 to 4,000 men of different descriptions, artillery, light infantry, and likewise the Bavarian General Kuokel, Col. Ditfort, two lieutenant colonels, two majors, about 20 officers, and above 12,000 Bavarian troops. As in consequence of these advantages, the functions of the Bavarian authorities have ceased, I thought it indispensible to establish a provisional police, to maintain the stability of internal tranquillity. (Signed) TAXIS, &e. SECOND BULLETIN. Alt-Oetting, April 12.-Agreeably to the prescribed arrangements, the army advanced on the 11th further towards the Viles and the Iser. The weather was very bad, but the troops endured all the hardships of an uncommonly severe season with the greatest cheerfulness. On the 10th, at half past ten in the morning, Field Marshal Dedovich entered Passau. The enemy retired, but by the rapid advance of our troops, a French officer of engineers and eight pioneers were taken. A French general in the upper fort escaped with difficulty. Prince Rosenberg, commander of the 4th corps of the army, summoned the fort to surrender, but this summons was, in compliance with the custom of war, answered by a refusal. The true patriotic spirit of the inhabitants of Passau was clearly demonatrated by the joy they displayed on our entering the town. They immediately printed the proclama❤ tion of his Royal Highness the Generalissimo to the German nation, and distributed 2000 copies to the people of that country. Thus the feeling of German independence remains, and is cherished among them. THIRD BULLETIN. Vils-Biburg, April 15-The army is collected on the Vils, and will tomorrow pass the Iser at Landshut and Dinglefingen. The enemy appears disposed to dispute the passage. The army is anxious to meet him, and to come to blows. Field Marshal Jellachick has by this time also passed the Inn at Ro senheim and Wassenburg, and advanced against Munich. An advanced post of the enemy has been taken at Haag; 13 prisoners and 17 horses fell into our hands. The enemy lost some killed and wounded; on our side we had only one hussar slightly wounded. On the 9th, Field Marshal Chastellar, amidst the joyful acclamations of the faithful Tyrolese, entred the Tyrol at Lienz, through the Pusterthal, and on the 12th had already reached Brauneck; the Saltsberg Jagers and some detachments of infantry, provided with snow and climbing irons, co-operate with him by Zillerthal. Our patroles are pushed forward to Reichenhall, Lofers, and St. Johan; the militia of Lofers has occupied the pass of Strub, one of the most important entrances from Saltzburg into the Junthal. The Tyrolese are every where flying to arms and expelling the Bavarians; 1500 of the latter have taken refuge in the fortress of Kufstein, and are besieged there by the Tyrolese. A French officer had recently taken the command of that fortress; the Bavarians, however, begin to be tired of the French superiority, and feel sensibly the deep degradation of their oppressed situation. Their disgust at the arrogance of the French officers has, in several instances, produced acts of violence. FOURTH BULLETIN. Landshut, April 16.-This day the army advanced to the Iser. The fifth corps was in the front, and found the bridge at Landshut broken down. A division of from 6 to 8000 Bavarians, under Gen. Deroy, defended the passage. There remained nothing to be done but to open a passage by force. The bridge was accordingly re-established under the fire of the enemy; the fifth corps crossed, and an action followed, which terminated by the retreat of the Bavarians. On both sides there was some killed and wounded, but our loss would have been still less had it been possible to restrain the ardour of our troops. Landshut is the key of the Iser; we are in possession of a great part of Bavaria. The General of cavalry, Count Bellegarde, broke up from Bohemia on the 10th, with the first corps of the army, by Tieschenreith, and on the 12th formed a junction at Werenburg with the 2d corps of the army which had entered the Upper Palatinate by Rushaupten. Both corps took a position on the Nab, and their vanguard occupied the heights of Hirschan in order to watch the road from Bayreuth to Amberg, Here an affair of advanced posts took place with the division of Friant, which was understood to be ap proaching in order to reach the Da nube by a rapid march through Amberg. The consequence of this ac tion was, that the division was driven back to Neumarkt, and our advanced posts occupied Amberg. The brave Tyrolese have already killed or taken prisoners all the French and Bavarian soldiers in their territory. All the passes in the Up per Junthal, as the Zinler-berg, the Schsrnitz, Leutash, Reuti, are oc cupied by the militia of the country. On the 12th. 160 men of the 11th Bavarian regiment of infantry, and 125 dragoons, with half a battery, were made prisoners at Innspruck. On the 13th, 49 French officers, 1677 men, with 451 horses, and two light battalions of Bavarians, with two pieces of cannon, and a howitzer, surrendered at Wildau to the Tyrolese, by capitulation, To morrow the army moves towards the Upper Danube. Hitherto we have fallen in with no French troops, though in the action of this day some French officers were taken among the Bavarians. FIFTH BULLETIN. Landshut, April 17.—According to the concurring reports of all the prisoners, as well as the inhabi tants at Landshut, the French Ger neral Lefevre has collected 12,000 Bavarians from the neigbourhood of Munich and Freysingen, with the view of stopping the passage of the Austrian army by Landshut. The approach to the bridges was extreme, ly difficult. They were besides bro ken down, and the enemy's tirail leurs, who had occupied all the houses on the opposite bank, could only be driven therefrom by cannon being brought to bear upon themeach gun on our side was mounted under a shower of small shot from the enemy. In doing this, however, our artillery displayed the greatest resolution, and in two hours the whole of the opposite side of the town was in ruins. The unfortunate inhabitants in the midst of their ruined houses bewail the melancholy fate to which this fine town has been exposed by their own countrymen. The French, who by misrepresentations, would make it appear that Austria wishes to seize Bavaria and to disarm in a disgrace ful manner the brave soldiers of that country, had required these troops to make a fruitless defence. Here French artifice succeeded in making foreign blood flow for their advantage, and in turning the arms of our German brethren against their deliverers. The first bridge was scarce formed by a few posts, when the advanced guard of the fifth corps hastened across the Iser and pursued the enemy until night. The troops are animated with an excellent spirit, and sing war songs under the thunder of the cannon! 1 The advanced guard of Field Marshal Jellachich entered Munich at eleven yesterday forenoon. The King and Queen have fled under French protection to Augsburgh. The fourth army-corps passed the Iser without opposition at Dingalfingen. The first and second corps have, after some successful fighting, advanced to Amberg, Schavandorf, and: Kirn near Ratisbon. General Bellegarde cannot sufficiently praise the gallant spirit and undaunted resolution of his troops. SIXTH BULLETIN, Sacile, April 17.-On the 10th and 11th his Imperial highness the Archduke John, with the army under his command, entered the terrilory of Frioule, by Pouteba, Cividale and Gortz, and after some op position, advanced on the 18th to the Tagliamento. The enemy retired across the river, in order to join with VOL. V. the troops in their rear. This junction, which probably took place at Sacile, made the hostile army five divisions strong. In the night of the 14th his Imperial highness proceeded with the advanced guard towards Pordenone; the remainder of the army followed at day-break. The enemy's advanred guard was at Pordenone; and his army was posted between that place and Sacile, near Fontana. In this situation an action commenced, which, after a sanguinary contest of two days, terminated entirely to our advantage. The Vice-King of Italy commanded the French army. The result was so decisive, that the enemy could not maintain themselves behind the Livenza, but were obliged to retreat rapidly to the Piave. More are con The prisoners amount already to 6000, among whom are Generals Paza and Bressen. stantly brought in. The loss in killed and wounded greatly exceeds this number, and we have taken 16 cannon and three eagles." Letter from the Emperor Francis Owing to the rapid movements of the army, and accumulated business, no official report has appeared for several days. I transmit you a concise extract of the reports sent me, in order that you may publish them. FRANCIS. Scharding, April 22. SEVENTH OFFICIAL REPORT. After passing the Iser, his Impe rial highness, the generalissimo, with the 3d, 4th, and 5th corps of the army, and the 1st corps of the reserve, broke up against the Danube, in the direction to Kehlheim and Ratisbon. Agreeable to the declaration of pris soners of war, the Emperor Napoleon reached the army on the 19th inst. The generalissimo has made a forced march from the Iser to beyond the Labar, and advanced on the 19th 28 terrock. The enemy encountered him, and a very brisk action took place. The generalissimo praises the bravery of the troops. Our loss is considerable: several regiments have lost all their staff officers. Field Marshal Lieutenant Lusignan-the princes Louis and Maurice, of Lichtenstein, are wounded. The generalissimo kept the army in order of battle the next day to follow the movements of the enemy. We have no further details about this affair. through Eckmuhl, Rotenburgh,Clois- confess " that after five days hard fighting, in which fortune often fluctuated," they were obliged to give way, from the superiority of the enemy's cavalry; that the loss on both sides was immense; and that for the present they had changed their operations from the offensive to the defensive.-The 12th Bulletin relates to the action before Warsaw on the 19th, and the enemy retreated into that city on the 20th, when the Archduke Ferdinand, in order to spare the town, consented to enter into a treaty, by which the enemy agreed to evacuate Warsaw on the 23d ult.-The 13th and 14th Bulletins bring down the operations to the 27th ult. and state that the enemy had advanced to Scharding and Ef ferbing.-Upon the enemy's advanced posts reaching Efferbing, the army under General Hiller broke up, and by the 27th the advanced guard was at Obernberg, and stretchforward towards Scharding.The second corps of reserve was at Altheim-the rest of the army at Weng. The loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners, is not yet known, as the multiplicity of business prevented his imperial highness from making circumstantial reports on the field of battle (off Hansen) to his Majesty. On the 26th Ratisbon capitulated. On the same day the 5th corps of the army was also smartly attacked, near Siegenburgh, upon Abins. The archduke Lewis retreated in common, with Field Marshal Lieutenant Holler, against the Iser, to cover Landshut; both corps are united. On the 21st, Marshal Davoust attacked the 4th corps of the army, near Eckmuhl; a very severe action took place which lasted for twelve hours. On the 22d, the second corps of the army retreated by Ratisbon, and combined with the main army. The head quarters of Generalissimo the Archduke Charles were on the 21st near Eglofsheim. Six more Austrian Bulletins have been received, which detail the movements of its armies from the commencement of hostilities to the 27th ult. but are not of so late a date as the French by several days. The disastrous turn to the battle of Ratisbon, on the 23d, is attributed to the retreat of the Archduke Lewis with the 5th corps, which by breaking the line, enabled the enemy to at tack at all points. In these Bulletins, the Austrians do not conceal the disasters, they have met with, but 2 Letters from Cadiz of the 9th ult. contain an account of the defeat of General Cuesta's army. The battle was fought within 30 leagues of Seville, and it is reported that the disastrous result was chiefly owing to the conduct of a corps of cavalry, which did not support the general in the plan of operations upon which he had resolved to act. Four regiments fled early in the action.— The Cadiz papers contain a proclamation, addressed by General Cuesta to his troops, in which he strongly censures the conduct of several corps. He has ordered all the officers of one regiment to be cashiered. Seville official Gazettes to the 15th ult. contain General Cuesta's account of the battle of Medellin, in which he acknowledges bis defeat; but that general has received more extensive powers from the supreme central junta, and made dispositions not only to maintain the passes of the Sierra Morena, but to resume offensive operations. The report of the capture of Villa Franca, by the Marquis de la Romana, by assault, is confirmed. ABDICATION OF THE KING OF Stockholm, May 11.-The members having produced their credentials from their constituents, and the diet being duly constituted, the states proceeded in a body, on the 6th instant to pay their respects to his royal highness the Regent, and to express their most grateful acknowledgments for the zeal, activity, and patriotism he had evinced, in relinquishing the comforts and tranquillity of a private station, and convoking the grand constitutional assembly of the nation, as the only means of saving the country from impending destruction. The diet then unanimously passed a vote of thanks to his excellency Count Klingspor, Major General Adlercreutz, and Lieutenant Colonel Adlersparre, as also to the subordinate officers, for their spirited and patriotic conduct, at a season of pcculiar danger and difficulty. The marshal of the nobles was invited to communicate these resolutions to the house of nobles, which he did, in the presence of deputations from all the states. On Tuesday the 9th, his royal highness the Regent opened the diet with a speech addressed to the states. in which the Lord Chancellor (La-. jerbjelke) of the Court Baron, read, in an audible voice, a detailed account of the events and circumstances which had rendered the convocation of the states indispensibly necessary for the salvation of the country. The marshal of the diet, and the respective speakers of the clergy, burghers, and peasants, addressed his royal highness in appropriate speeches. On Wednesday the 10th, all the members of the states met at an early hour in one assembly, which will ever be remarkable in the annals of Sweden. His royal highness the Regent, having ordered the Lord Chancellor to read aloud the act of abdication, voluntarily made by the King on the 29th day of March, Baron Mannenheim rose and addressed the assembly. The Baron, in a speech of considerable length, drew a most affecting picture of the situation to which Sweden was reduced by the King's IRRESISTIBLE PASSION FOR WAR, renounced all allegiance and obedience to the person and authority of Gustavus IV. and declared him and his issue, now and for ever, deprived of the crown and goThe Baron, vernment of Sweden. with much firmness and animation, then asked whether this act, this solemn resolution of his, in which his heart and tongue concurred, met with the approbation of the members composing that august assembly ?Long and reiterated exclamations of Yes! Yes! All! All! resounded from all parts, and Baron Mannenheim's declaration was adopted by the constitutional representatives of the Swedish nation, without a single dissentient voice. His royal highness was then conducted to the chair, from which he addressed the assembly. He proceeded to remark upon the state of the nation, noticed the abuses which had crept into every department of the state, and lamented the inadequacy of the laws to restrain or supIt therefore bepress those abuses. came, in his opinion, indispensibly necessary to new model the consti tution, and enact such laws as should secure the country from a recurrence of the evils which had brought it to the brink of ruin. The execution of this object, so important to the vital interests of Sweden, he confided to the united wisdom and counsels of the states, and hoped they would discharge their duty with credit to |
