has been obliged to fight in the environs of Ulm, have greatly weakened his army.His Majesty the Emperor and King, accompanied by Count Lambartie; has set out for the Austro-Russian wing on the Inn, in order to make in person such dispositions as circumstances may require.-It is said the Archduke Charles will leave Italy, and likewise repair to that army, whence he will return to this city with his august brother, to receive the Emperor of Russia. The headquarters of this army, which has been joined by a strong Russian division, are at Brannon; the principal corps of the Russian army is more in the rear, and General Kutusow has his head quarters at Ems. General Mack has been sent provisionally as a state prisoner to Brunn, where a council of war will be held upon his conduct;—

RUSSIA-Letter written by the Austrian Ambassador in London to the Editor of the Morning Post, dated Portland Place, Nov. 1, 1805.

Sir, I shall be obliged to you to correct a statement in the Morning Post of Friday, November 1, in which, speaking of the causes of the late events on the Continent,, is mentioned as a circumstance contributing to them, "The tardy advance of the Russians, whose arrival is a full month behind the time it was expected." Upon this statement I beg to observe, and to request your publicity, that it is completely the reverse of the state of the case, which is, that the Russians were full twelve days earlier at their posts than they had promised, or could have been expected; and that nothing but the most extraordinary and unprecedented exertions could have effected this promptitude.

the Imperial Guards. A treasure, amounting to 200,000 guilders, fell into their hands; but they left it untouched, and pushed on in pursuit of the enemy. In the last action Prince Ferdinand escaped on the horse of a Lieutenant of Cavalry. A number of Austrian soldiers which have escaped into Franconia, have occasioned great disorder there. All the enemy's baggage was taken. The army is in full march for the Inn, where Marshal Bernadotte, General Marmont, and Marshal Davoust, were to be on the evening of the 26th.

Thirteenth Bulletin of the Grand Army. Haag, Oct. 28,1805.-The army under Mar shal Bernadotte advanced from Munich on the 26th, and arrived the next day at Wasserburgh, on the Inn, and proceeded to Altenmarkt, where it halted that night. arches of the bridge had been burned down. Count Manucci, Colonel of the Bavarian army, advanced from Roth to Rosenheim. He also found the bridge burned, and the enemy on the other side. After a brisk cannonade, the enemy retired from the right bank; several battalions of French, and Ba varians passed the Inn, and, on the 28th, at noon, both the bridges were completely repaired. Colonels Morio and Somis, of the Engineers, were indefatigable in their exertions to re-establish the bridges. The ene my were hotly pursued as soon as the troops could pass over; fifty of their rear-guard were taken prisoners. - Marshal Davoust, with the army under his command, set out from Freysing on the 26th, and reached Muhldorff on the 27th. The enemy defended the right bank of the river, where they had some batteries advantageously placed. The bridge had been so much destroys ed, that it was with difficulty repaired. On the 28th, at noon, a considerable part of Marshal Davoust's division had passed over. -Prince Murat ordered' a brigade of cavalry to pass over the bridge of Muhldorff, caused the bridges of Oeting and Marckhl to be repaired, ond crossed them with a part of his reserve. The Emperor himself went to Haag. The division of Marshal Soult lay on their arms beyond Haag; the corps under the command of General Marmont is to halt this night at Wihsbiburgh; that of Marshal Ney at Landsberg; Marshal Lannes's on the road from Landshut to Braunau. From all the information which has been received, it appears that the Russian army is retreat ing. There has been a great deal of rain during the day. All the country between the Iser and the Inn is nothing but a ced

tinued forest of fir trees; the soil is excessively barren. The army has much reason to be satisfied with the zeal and attention of the inhabitants of Munich, in supplying them with such articles of provision as they required.

Fourteenth Official Bulletin of the Grand Army.

Braunau, Oct. 30.-Marshal Bernadotte arrived at 10 this morning at Saltzbourgh. The Elector had quitted it several days before. A corps of 6,000 men, which was placed there, had precipitately retired on the preceding evening. The Imperial headquarters were on the 28th ult. at Haag, on the 29th at Muhldorff, and this day at Braunau. Marshal Davoust employed the whole of yesterday in repairing the bridge of Muhldorff. The first regintent of Chasseurs made a fine charge against the enemy, killed 20 men, and took several prisoners, among whom was a Captain of Hussars.-Marshal Lannes arrived yesterday with the cavalry at the bridge of Braunau. He had set out from Landshut. The bridge was cut away. He immediately embarked 60 men in two boats. The enemy, who were pursued by the Reserve under Prince Murat in other directions, abandoned the city. The boldness of the Chasseurs of the 13th contributed to hasten the enemy's retreat.-The misunderstanding between the Russians and Austrians begins to shew itself. The Russians plunder every where. The best informed Officers among them are prfectly aware, that the war which they wage is impolitic, since they have nothing to gain against the French, whom nature has not placed in a situation to be their enemies.-Braunau, as we find may be considered one of the finest and most useful acquisitions of the Army. This place is surrounded with a circumvallation, fortified with bastions, draw-bridges, a halfmoon, and ditches full of water. There are numerous magazines of artillery, all in good condition; but what will with difficulty be believed is, that it is completely supplied with provisions. We found there $40,000 rations of bread, ready to be distributed, and more than 1000 sacks of flour. The artillery of the place consists of 45 pieces of cannon, with change of carriages, mortars provided with more than 40,000 cannon shot, and some howitzers. The Russians left behind them about a thousand weight of powder, great quantities of cartridges, lead, a thousand muskets, and all the ammunition necessary to support a long siege. The Emperor has appointed General Lauriston, arrived from Cadiz, Governor

of the place, and the head-quafters were established there.

Fifteenth Bulletin of the Grand Army.

Braunau, Oct. 31. Several Russian deserters are already arrived, among them is a serjeant-major, a native of Moscow, a very intelligent man. It may be easily imagined that he was questioned by every one. He tells us, that the Russian army is quite differently disposed now towards the French, than what it was in the last war; that the prisoners who returned from France, had spoken in high praise of it; that there were six in his company who were removed from it at the time they left Poland; that if all the men who returned from France had been suffered to remain in the regiments, there can be no doubt but they would all have deserted; that the Russians were very sorry to fight for the Germans, whom they detest; and that they had a high opinion of the French valour. He was asked if they loved the Emperor Alexander; he replied, that they were too wretched to have any attachment for him; that the soldiers were fonder of the Emperor Paul, but that the Nobility prefered the Emperor Alexander; that the Russians in general were very happy to quit their own country, because they lived better, and were better paid; that none of them wished to go back to Russia; and that they would rather establish themselves in other climates than return under the authority of so harsh a government; that they were aware that the Austrians had lost every battle, and were in a lamentable situation.

Prince Murat set out in pursuit of the enemy. He overtook the rear guard of the Austrians, about 6000 strong, on the road to Merobach. To get sight of them and charge them was only one exertion for the cavalry. This rear guard was dispersed on the heights of Ried. The enemy's cavalry then rallied, to protect the passage of the infantry through a defile; but the first regiment of Chasseurs, and the division of Dragoons, under General Beaumont, overwhelmed them, and rushed into the defile along with the infantry of the enemy. The action was very sharp: but the darkness of the night saved the enemy's corps. Part of them saved themselves in the woods, and there were only 500 prisoners taken. The advanced guard of the division of Prince Murat took a position at Haag. Col. Montbrun, of the 1st regiment of Chasseurs, covered himself with glory. The 8th regiment of Dragoons maintained its ancient character. A quarter-master of this regiment having had his wrist shot off, said, in

the presence of the Prince, as he was passing: "I regret the loss of my hand, because I can no longer serve our brave Emperor." The Emperor, on being made acquainted with this circumstance, said: "There I recognise the spirit of the Eighth. Let a profitable situation, according to his rank, be given to this quarter-master, in the Palace of Versailles."-The inhabitants of Braunau, according to custom, carried to their houses a great part of the magazines. A Proclamation brought all back again. There are at present 1000 sacks of flour, a great quantity of oats, magazines of artillery of every kind, and 60,000 rations of bread, of which we are in great want. A part of it was distributed to the division under Marshal Soult.-Marshal Bernadotte is arrived at Saltzbourg. The enemy retreated by the road of Carinthia and Wels. A regiment of infantry wished to keep possession of the villiage of Hallen. It was obliged to retreat towards the village of Colling, where the Marshal hoped that General Kellerman, would be able to cut off their retreat, and take them prisoners.We are assured by the inhabitants, that the Emperor of Germany, in his anxiety, came to Wels, where he learnt the disaster of his army. He also became acquainted there with the clamours of his Austrian and Bohemian subjects, against the Russians, who commit such pillage and violence, that they long for the arrival of the French, to deliver them from these extraordinary allies. Marshal Davoust, with his army took a position between Ried and Haag. All the other divisions of the army are advancing, but the weather is horrible. It has snowed six inches deep, and the roads are in consequence detestable. The Secretary of State Maret has joined the Emperor at Braunau. The Elector of Bavaria has returned to Munich. He was received with the greatest enthusiasm by the inhabitants of his capital. Several mails from Vienna had been intercepted. The last letters were dated on the 18th of October. Some intelligence of the action at Wertingen had reached it, and had created the greatest consternation there. Provisions were so dear, that few persons could afford to purchase them. Vienna was threatened with a famine, and yet the harvest had been very productive; but the depreciation of the paper-money, and of the assignments, upon which there was a loss of 40 per cent. had raised every thing to an exorbitant price. Every one was persuaded, that the Austrian paper currency must be completely destroyed.-The husbandman would no longer exchange his produce for a paper currency of no value. There

is not a man in all Germany, who does not consider the English as the authors of the war, and the Emperors Francis and Alexander as the victims of their intrigues. The cry in every mouth is, that there will be no peace as long as England is governed by an Oligarchy, and governed it will be in that way as long as George lives. The accession of the Prince of Wales is therefore generally wished for on this account, that it will put an end to the power of the few, who in all coun tries are selfish and insensible to the misfortunes of the people.********* The Emperor Alexander was expec ed at Vienna, but he changed his mind. It is reported he is gone to Berlin.

OPERATIONS OF THE FRENCHARMY OF ITALY, Second Official Bulletin of the Army of Italy, from the Moniteur, dated Oct. 29, 1805.

The general in chief attacked the enemy this morning at five. Whilst, on their left wing, the division of General Sessa passed the Adige at Polo, that of General Verdier manoeuvred from Ronco to Albaro; at the same time the divisions of the Generals Gardanne and Duhesme, extending themselves before the bridge of the Old Castle of Verona, attacked the heights of Val Pantena, and drew round the Castle of St. Felice; when the general in chief, availing himself of their position, obliged the enemy to evacuate Veronette. The pallisadoes of the new bridge were immediately cut down, and the division of horse chasseurs, under General Espagne; that of grenadiers, under General Partonneaux; the cavalry of reserve, commanded by General Monnet; and the division of General Molitor, marched through Veronette, and proceeded to the great road of St. Michel, where the Austrians opposed us with their infantry and cavalry, protected by several pieces of cannon. The cavalry was ordered to make repeated charges, which were executed with activity, and supported by the grenadiers of the division of Molitor. In one of those charges the squadron of guides forced 500 men, infantry, to lay down their arms. The enemy were routed, driven from the village of St. Michel, and pursued as far as beyond St. Martin, whilst we occupied Vago: 1600 prisoners, and two pieces of cannon, have been the result of this day's engagement. The Austrians have left many killed on the field of battle. Our loss is trifling: we have near 100 wounded. The army is pursuing its success. The divisions of the different corps manoeuvred with precision; the general in chief commends the courage and zeal shewn by the troops during the attack. He can testify to his Majesty the Emperor, that they

burn with desire to follow the example of the grand army, and to deserve a participation in the noble rewards which his Majesty presents to courage.

Third Official Bulletin of the Army of Italy. dated Head Quarters at Vago, Oct. 30.

After the action of the 29th, the army took a position two miles on this side of Caldiero. On the 30th it attacked the enemy the whole length of their line. The division of Molitor, forming the left, began the action; that of General Gardanne attacked the centre, and that of General Duhėsme the right. These different attacks were well executed and happily conducted. The village of Caldiero was carried amidst cries of Long live the Emperor, and the enemy was pursued to the very heights.-At halfpast 4 Prince Charles ordered his reserve, consisting of 24 battalions of grenadiers, and several regiments, to advance. The battle then became more general. The troops of his Majesty displayed their usual bravery. The cavalry made several successful charges; some battalions of grenadiers engaged at the same time, and the bayonet decided the fate of the day. The enemy kept up a fire from 30 pieces of cannon planted in their entrenchments. Notwithstanding the obstinacy of their resistance, they were beaten and pursued to the very redoubts at the other side of Caldiero.- -We have taken 3,500 prisoners; the field of battle was strewed with Austrians; their loss in killed and wounded was at least equal to the number that were taken prisoners. Prince Charles requested a truce to bury the dead. Our loss is very insignificant, compared with that of the enemy. The marshal-general in chief speaks in the highest terms of the bravery and attachment of the army. He will make particular mention of the brilliant exploits which have distinguished this day, and will make a special report to the Emperor of the names of the brave men to whom the honour of it is due. The army of General St. Cyr is arrived.

Fourth Official Bulletin of the Army of Italy.

Head-quarters at Montebello, Nov, 2.In consequence of the battle of the 31st, the position of the army before Caldiero, and the orders given on the preceding day to the division of Seras, a column of the enemy, amounting to 5000 men, was separated from the corps of General Rosemberg, and cut off in such a manner that it could neither retreat through the vallies nor rejoin the main army. The Commander in Chief, on being informed that, on the 1st.

instant, this column was marching to the heights of St. Leonards, sent one of his aides-de-camp to summon it to surrender. The General Officer, Hillinger, who commanded it, not seeing any troops, declared his intention to defend himself. The 22d regiment of light infantry, under Colonel. Goquet, then received orders to advance from Veronetta: the enemy made a movement to approach him, and forced him to take a position under the walls of the Castle of San Felice. The Commander in Chief repaired immediately to the spot, and ordered four battalions of grenadiers to surround the enemy. Gen. Charpentier, the Chief of the Staff, was charged with these dispositions, which he executed with precision in concert with Gen. Solignac. A new summons was then sent to the enemy, who found himself under the necessity of laying down his arms. A capitulation, signed by the Commander of the enemy's columus, and by General Solignac, put into our hands, 5000 prisoners, with their arms and baggage, 70 officers, one Brigadier, one Major, one Colonel, 80 horses, &c. &c.Prince Charles, on his side, finding that a column of his army had been cut off, apprehensive of being turned in his position, proceeded to effect his retreat. We were informed, that he had made some movements in the night. At the break of day, reconnoitering parties were sent out to all parts of his line. The division of chasseurs on horseback, under General Espagne, and the light division of General Gardanne, set forward in pursuit of the Austrians, who were harrassed through the day, and of whom we made 600 prisoners. We this day are at Montebello. To-morrow the army will preceed on its march.

Capitulation between General SOLIGNAC,

commanding a Corps of Grenadiers belonging to the Royal and Imperial Army of his Majesty the EMPEROR of the FRENCH on the one Part, and Brigadier General HILLINGER, commanding a Corps of the Troops of his Royal and Imperial Majesty the EMPEROR of GERMANY.
