made that evening. The duke of Mon' tebello defended the village of Esling, and Marshal the duke of Estria covered the plain with the light cavalry, and Espagne's division of cuirassiers, protecting at the same Ewyensdorf-the contest was severe, the enemy having 200 pieces of cannon and 90,000 men collected from the remains of all the Austrian corps. D'Espagne's division of cuirassiers, which made several fine charges advanced in two squares, and took 14 pieces of cannon, but a ball killed General D'Espagne while fighting gloriously at the head of his troops. He was a brave man, and in every respect eminent and praise worthy. The General of brigade Foulers was likewise killed in a charge. General Napsoutz arrived in the evening on the field of battle, with the single brigade commanded by General St. Germain, and distinguished himself by several brilliant charges. At eight o'clock the action terminated, and we remained masters of the field. During the night General Oudinot's corps, St. Hillaire's division, and two brigades of light cavalry, and the train of artillery, passed over by the bridges. On the 22d the duke of Rivoli was the first engaged at four in the morning. The enemy made several successive attacks, in order to retake the village. At last the duke of Rivoli, tired of 'acting on the defensive, attacked the enemy in his turn, and threw them into confusion. General Legrand distinguished himself by the coolness and intrepidity which characterised him. The general of division Boudet was stationed at the village of Esling, and had orders to defend that important position. Observing that the enemy occupied a very wide space between his right and left wing, it was resolved to penetrate by his centre. The duke of Montebello Jed the attack. General Oudinot was on the left, St. Hillaire's division was in the centre, and Boudet's division was on the right wing. The enemy's centre could not withstand the sight of our troops.—In a moment every thing was borne down before them. The duke of Istria made several brilliant and successful attacks. Three column's of infantry were charged aud cut down by the cuirassiers. The Austrian army was on the point of being destroyed, when at seven in the morning an aidede camp of the Emperor came to inform him that the sudden rise of the Danube had set afloat a great number of trees, which were cut down during the late events at Vienna, and rafts which had been left on the bank, and that the bridges which formed the communica tion between the right bank and the lit tle Island, and between the little Island and that of Inder Lobau, had thereby been carried away. This rapid swell, which usually does not take place until the middle of June on the melting of the snow, has been accelerated by the great heat which has for some days prevailed. All the reserve parks of artillery which were advancing, were by the loss of the bridges detained on the right bank as was also a part of our heavy cavalry, and the the whole of the duke of Auerstadt's corps. This dreadful accident induced the Emperor to put a stop to the movement in advance. He ordered the duke of Montebello to keep the field of battle which had been won, and then to take his position with the left wing, resting on a curtain work which the duke of Rivoli covered, and his right wing at Esling. The artillery and infantry cartridges which were in our reserve park could not now be brought across the river. The enemy was in a most frightful state of disorder at the moment when he learned that our bridges were broken down. The slackening of our fire, and the concentrating movement of our army, soon left him no doubt respecting this unforeseen accident. All his cannon and artillery, equipage which were be fore on the retreat, were again drawn out in line, and from nine in the mor ning to seven in the evening he made most astonishing exertions, supported by the fire of 200 pieces of cannon, to throw the French army into disorder; but all his efforts tended to his own disgrace. Thrice he attacked the vil lages of Esling and Gross Aspern, and thrice he filled them with his dead. The Fusiliers of the guards, commanded by Gen. Monton, acquired great glory; they defeated the reserve formed of all the grenadiers of the Austrian army, and the only fresh troops which remained to the enemy. General Gros put to the sword 700 Hungarians, who had succeeded in entrenching themselves in the church-yard of Esling.

The water of the Danube' still increasing, the bridges of the Danube could not be restored during the night; the Emperor, therefore, ordered the army, on the 23d, to pass from the left bank across the little arm, and take a position in the island of In-der-Lobau,. protecting the Tetes du Ponte. The works for replacing the bridges are continued with assiduity, and nothing will be undertaken until they are secure, not only against the accidents of the water, but against any thing that may be attempted against them. The rise of the river, and the rapidity of the stream, must require much labour and great caution. " On the 23d, when the army was in-. That bridges constructed of the largest boats of the Danube, secured by double anchors and cables, should be carried seen disaster; but it was extremely away, was a great and entirely unforcfortunate that the Emperor was not two hours later of being informed of it. The army in pursuing the enemy would have exhausted its ammunition, which it would have been impossible to replace. On the 23d a great quantity of ammunition was sent to the camp at Inder-Lobau. The battle of Esling, of which a circumstantial report shall be made, pointthemselves therein, will, in the eyes of ing out the brave men who distinguished posterity, be a new memorial of the French army. glory and inflexible firmness of the The Marshals the Dukes of Montebello and tivoli on that day displayed all the powers of their military cha racter. The Emperor has given the command of the 2d corps to Gen. Count Oudinot, a general tried in a hundred battles, in which he has always evinced the posses sion of equal courage as skill. ELEVENTH BULLETIN, Ebersdorf, May 24.-The Duke of Dantzic is master of the Tyrol, and entered Inspruck on the 19th, the whole territory having submitted. On the 11th the Duke of Dantzic took the strong position of the Strubpass, with seven cannon and 600 meu. On the 13th, after defeating Chasteller in the position of Voergel, putting him to flight, and taking all his artillery, he pursued him near to Rullenberg, where the wretched fugitive was indebted for his safety only to the speed of his horse. General De Roy at the same time raised the blockade of the fortress of Kufstein, forming his junction with the troops commanded by the Duke of Dantzic, who greatly praises the conduct of Gen. Palin, and several other officers (named in the bulletin). Chasteller entered the Tyrol with a handful of brave men, and preached up insurrection, plunder, and murder. Ile saw several thousand Bavarians and a hundred French soldiers put to death, before his eyes. He even encouraged the murders by his own applause, and provoked all the cruelty of these moun tain boors. Among the murdered French were about sixty Belgians, all countrymen of Chasteller. That wretch, loaded with the favours of the Emperor, to whom he owed the restoration of his property, amounting to several millions, is insusceptible to the feelings of gratitude, as well as to the affection which even barbarians entertain for their countrymen. The Tyrolese detest the men whose treacherous conduct instigated them to rebellion, and who thereby brought upon them all its consequent evils. Their rage against Chasteller is so great, that when after what happened at Voergal he took refuge at Hall, they attacked him with cudgels, and gave him such a drubbing that he kept his bed for two days, and durst not venture to make his appearance, except to request a capitulation: he was told, however, that no capitulation would be granted to a highway robber, upon which he fled towards the mountains of Garinthia. The valley of Zillerthal was the first which submitted, laid down arms, and gave hostages. The remainder of the territory has followed this example. All the chiefs have ordered the boors to return to their homes, and they are leaving the mountains and returning to their villages. The town of Inspruck and all the villages have sent deputies to the King of Bavaria to offer pledges of their fidelity, and to supplicate bis mercy. The Votarlburghers who have been misled by the exasperating proclamations and artifices of the cuemy, will follow the example of the Tyrol, and that part of Germany will then be completely freed from all the horrors, and inisfortunes of popular insurrection. TWELFTH BULLETIN, Ebersdorff, May 26,—On the 254 and 24th the army was employed to restore the bridges, which were roady. the 25th, early in the morning, and the wounded, caissons, &c. were removed to the right banks of the Danube. The Danube being likely to rise unil the 15th of June, it is intended to mark the heights of the river by poles driven into the ground, to which the large iron chain is to be fastened which the Turks had destined for the same purpose, but the Austrians took it from them, and it was found in the arsenal of Vienna, This measure and the works which are constructed on the left bank of the Danube will enable us to manœuvre on both sides of that river. Our light troops have taken post near Presburgh upon the lake of Neusiedel. General Lauriston is in Styria, at Smeringsbergh and Bruck. The Duke of Dantzic is hastening by forced marches, at the head of the Bavarian troops to join the army of Vienna; the horsechasseurs of the imperial guard arrived bere yesterday; the dragoons were expected in the course of the day; and within a few days the borse-grenadiers, and sixty pieces of ordnance attached to the guards will reach this place. By the capitulation of Vienna, seven marshal lieutenants, mine major-generals, ten colonels, twenty majors and lieutenant colonels, 100 captains, 150 lieutenants, 200 second lieutenants, and 3,000 non-commissioned officers and soldiers were made prisoners of war, exclusively of those who were in the hospital, and whose numbers amount to some thousands, BATTLE OF URFAR. noon, three Austrian columus under the command of Generals Grainville, Bucalwitz, and Somma Riva, and sup ported by reserve under General Jellachich, attacked Gen. Vandamme at the village of Urfar, in the front of the bridge-head at Lintz. At the same moment the Marshal Prince of Ponte Corvo came to Lintz with the cavalry and the first brigade of Saxon intantry. General Vandamine, at the head of the Wurtemburgh troops, and four squadrons of Saxon hussars and dragoons, repulsed the two first columns of the Enemy, drove them from their position, took from them six pieces of artit. lery, made 400 prisoners and threw them into confusion. The third column of the enemy appeared on the heights of Berslingbergh at seven in the evening, and his infantry in a moment took possession of the neighbouring mountains.-The Saxon infantry fell on the enemy with fury, drove din from his position, and took 300 prisoners, and several ammunition waggons. The enemy has retired in confusion to Freystadt and Haslach. The bussars sent out in pursuit brought in 500 horses and muskets, and a number of waggons and caissons were found in the woods. The loss of the enemy amounts to 2000 in killed and wounded, besides prisoners. Our whole loss in killed, wounded and prisoners, is not 400. THIRTEENTH BULLETIN. Ebersdorff, May 28.-During the night of the 26th and 27th, our bridges on the Danube were carried away by the waters and the mills which have been set free. We had not time to finish the piles and fix the great iron chain. To-day one of the bridges has been re-established, and we expect the other will be completed to-morrow. The Emperor spent yesterday on the left bank, surveying the fortifications which are raising on the island of In-der-Lobau, and in order to inspect some regiments of the Duke de Rivoli's corps, stationed at this sort of tete-de-pont, On the 27th, at night, Captain Baillie, aid-de-camp of the viceroy, brought the agreeable tidings of the arrival of the army of Italy at Bruck. General Lauriston had been sent in advance, and the junction took place on the Smeringberg. A chasseur of the 9th, who was preceding as scout! to a detachment of the army of Italy, met a chasseur of a platoon of the 20th, sent by Gen. Lauriston. After having observed each other for some time, they discovered that they were Frenchmen, and embraced. . The chasseur of the 20th proceeded to Bruck to repair to the viceroy, andthe chasseur of the 9th to repair to Gen. Lauriston, to inform him of the approach of the army of Italy, During twelve days the two armies had received no intelligence of each other. On the evening of the 26th, General Lauriston was at Bruck, at the head-quarters of the viceroy. The viceroy has displayed, luring the whole campaign, a calmness and an extent of observation which are the presages of a great general. In the relation of facts which have graced the army of italy during these last 20 days, his Majesty has marked with pleasure the destruction of the corps of Jeilachich. It was this general whose insolent proclamation enkindled the fury and sharpened the daggers of the Tyrolese. Pur sued by the Duke of Dantzic-in danger of being flanked by the bri gade of General Dupelin, whom the Duke of Auerstadt had dispatched by way of Mariazell, he ran as into a snare upon the van of the army of Italy. The Archduke John, who, so short a time since, in the excess of his presumption, degraded himself by his letter to the Duke of Ragusa, evacuated Gratz yesterday, the 27th, taking with him hardly 25 or 30,000 men, of the fine army with which he entered Italy. Arrogance, insults, excitements to revolt, all his actions which hear the stamp of rage, have turned to his shame. The people of Italy have con. ducted themselves as the people of Alsace, Normandy, or Dauphine would have done.-On the retreat of oursoldiers, they accompanied them with their vows and their tears, and led individuals who had lost their way, by bye-paths, five days march to their army; and when any French or Italian prisoners were brought by the enemy into the towns or villages, the inhabitants brought them assistance, and during the nights endeavoured to disguise them, and assist them in their flight. The proclamations and the discourses of the Archduke John in spired only contempt and scorn; and it would be difficult to describe the joy of the people of the Piave, the Tagliamento, and of the Frioul, when they saw the army of the enemy flying in disorder, and the army of the Sovereign and the country returning in triumph. When the papers were examined which belonging to the intendant of the Austrian army, who was at the head both of the government and the police, and which were taken at Padua, in four carriages, the proof of the love which the people of Italy, bear to the Emperor was then discovered. Every body, refused the places offered them; no one was willing to serve Austria; and among seven millions of men, who compose the population of the kingdom, the enemy could not find more than three wretches who did not repel seduction.' The regiments of Italy, who had distinguished themselves in Poland, and who had emulated in the campaign in Catalonia, the most ancient French campaigns, covered themselves with glory in every engage ruined, is appearing with honour again on the theatre of Europe. All the details which reach us of the Austrian army shew, that on the 21st and 22d its loss was enormous. The choice troops of the army have perished. The good folks of Vienna say, that the manœuvres of General Danube saved the Austrian army. The Tyrol and the Voralberg are completely subjected. Carniola, Styria, Carinthia, the territory of Saltzburg, Upper and Lower Austria, are pacified and disarmed. Trieste, that city where the French and Italians suffered so many insults, has been occupied. One circumstance in the capture of Trieste, has been most agreeable to the Emperor-the delivery of the Russian squadron. It had received orders to fit out for Ancona, but, detained by contrary winds, it remained in the power of the Austrians. The junction of the army of Dalmatia will soon take place. The Duke of Ragusa began his march as soon as he heard that the army of Italy was on the Isonzo. It is hoped that it will arrive at Laybach before the 5th of June. The robber Schill, who assumed, and with reason, the title of general in the service of England, after having prostituted the name of the King of Prussia, as the satellites of Eng land prostitute that of Ferdinand at Seville, has been pursued and chased into an island of the Elbe. The King of Westphalia, independently of 15,000 men of his own troops, had a Dutch division and a French division; and the Duke of Valmy has already united at Hanau two divisions of the corps of obser vation, commanded by Generals Rivaud and Despeaux, and composed of the brigades Lameth, Cle ment, Taupin and Vaufieland. The pacification of Swabia sets free the corps of observation of Gen. Beaumont, which is collected at |
