" Head-quarters at Alt-Ootting, April It. 14 Agreeably to t prescribed arrange?aents, the arms - advanced on the 11th further towards the Vils and tl a Ler. " The weather vas very bad, but the troops en dured all the harthh;ps of an uncommonly severe sea son with the greatest cheerfulnens. " On the lOth, at half past ten in the morning, Field Marshal Dedovich entered Passau. The enemy retred, but by the rapid advance of our troops a French Officer of En7ineers and eight pioneers were taken. A French General the upper fort escaped with difficulty. Prince Rosen'wrg, Cr , mmander of the 4:h Corps of the 'army, summoned the fort to stir r ndir ; but this summons W 35, in compliance with the custom of war, answered by a refusal. " The true patriotic spirit of the inhabitants of 1 3 .1<5 - m was clearly demonstrated by the joy they dis played on our entering the town. They immediately' pr:nted the Proclamation of his Royal Highness the Generalissimo to the German Nation, and distribu tt.d 4.900 copies to the people of the country. Thus the feeling of German independence remains, and is cherished among them." THIRD BULLETIN. " Hua Quarters at Vila-Riburg, April 15. ." The army is collected on :he Vils, and will to morrow pass the Iser at L.indshn; and Dingeltingen. " The enemy appears disposed to disptue the pas sage.

An advanced post of the enemy has been taken at Haag ; thirteen prisoners and seventeen horses tell into our hands. The emit. lost some killed and wounded ; on our side we had only one hussar slightly wounded. "On the 9th, Field Marshal Chastell amidst the joyful acclamations of the faithful Tyrolese, I tered the Tyrol at Lienz, through the Pusterthal, and on the 12th had already reached Brauneck ; the Salta berg Jagers and some detachments of infantry, pro vided with snow and climbing irons, co-operate with him by the Zillerthal. Oar patroles are pushed for ward to Reichenhall, Lofers, and St. Johan ; the mi litia rf Lofers his occupied the pass of Strub, one of t'ie most important entrances from Salrzburg into the Janthal. The Tyrolese are every where flying to a iris and expell;ng the Bavajians ; 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 common ! of that fortress ; the Bavarians,however, begin to be tired of the French . superiority, and feel sensibly tie deep degradation of their oppressed sittiation. Their disgust at the arm• fiance of the French officers has, in several instances, produced acts violence." • . FOURTH BULLETIN. " Head-quarter. at Landshut, Apra 16. " This day the army advanced to the lien The fifth corpi was in. the front, and found the bride at Landshut broken down. A division of from six to 89)0 l3avarians, under General Derny, defended the passage. There remained nothing to be done but to opTn a passage by force. The bridge was accordingly re.established under the fire of the enemy ; the hull corps crossed, and an action followed, - which termi naked by the retreat of the Bavarians. On both sides th-l - e were some killed and wounded, but our loss would hive been still leas had it been possible to re. Strain the ardour of the troops.

" The General of Cavalry, Count Beilegarde, broke tip from B,,he nia on the lOth, with the first corps of the army, by Yescheoreith, and on the 12th formed a junction at tVerenberg with the 2d corps of the nr my which had entered the Upper Palatinate by Ru shatipten. Both corps took a position on the Nab, and .their vargn.:-d occupied the heights of Hirschan • in order to watch the road irc.m Bayreuth to Amberg. Here an ;cram of advanced posts took place with the division of Friant, whiLli was understood to be ap proaching in order to reach the Danube by a rapid match through Ambergh. The consequence of the action -.vas, that this division w 4 s (haven back to I\Nu markt, and out advanced pests cccunied Amberg.

" 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. " The advanced guard of Field Marshal Jellachich entered Munich at eleven yesterday forenoon. The King and Queen have fled under French protection to A ugsburgli. " The fourth army corps passed the Iser without opposition :it Dingalsingen.

The fcllnwing is the official report of the battle of Medellin, wh;ch the Captain-Ceneral, Don Gregnrin de la Cucsta, has transmitted to the Supreme Cent; :ti Junta : .4 After, by the retrograde movement of my. army, I had covered the junction of the division of Anda lusia, Commanded by the Duke of Albuquerque, I received inte;iigence that the enemy had detached part of the troops from .Miadajac to Merida and Me dellin, and immediately resolved to offer him battle in the first convenient place where I should come up with him. I marched accordingly the 27th of last month ; and having learned in the morning of the 2Rth, that the enemy concentrated his forces in Me dellin, I marched thither with the divisions of my ' army, •and hiving formed them in columns, as I ape pro.tched the place I arranged my plan of attack: " The enemy's army, which consisted of about 5000 borse and 20,000 foot, was drawn up in front of Medellin; his infantry wa - s formed in large close cotumas, the fl ink.; of which were covered by the cavalry, and their frot::. by six batteries, which kept up a tremendous fire on our infantry, while it was advancing to the attack in the most gallant style. I sent orders to the Generals, who comma-n:10 the dif ferent columns, directing some of them to deploy, and others to • charge with the bayonet, in order to render themselves m tsters of the enemy's batteries. The troops under my command performed every movement with that reAolatity, intrepidity, and order, which inpired cert.iin it pes of success. My left ad vanced with the utmost gallantry within pistol-shot of the first battery of the enemy, and carried it with fixed bayonets, when a strong division of the enemy's horse, supported by a division equally strong, charg ed to retake it. The infantry advanced iindismayed to the attack, when the ren•imt.nts of .cavalry of Al mania and Infante, and two soiridrons:of the Impe rial Chasseurs of Toled , w!.ich were ordered to charge the enemy, in•aead of executing this order at fail gallop, threw my ieft into disorder; my right continued in the mean time the actin with unabated vigonr ; but the enemy being able to direct hi,: whole force against those troops and the centre, I ordered the army to retreat. ‘. Our loss lms been severe. The number of offi cers killed, wounded,' and taken prisoners, amounts to 170 ; the loss of rank a►ld file has not. yet been as. ccrtained, but it is very considerable. " With the exception of the regiments above trim ed, wltoFe cowardly conduct occasi:med our loss. the• rest of the army fought with the utmost tatrepidity and valour, and &served a better fate.

The troops who are entrusted with the defense of the important post of Puerto del Rey are commanded by Major-General Don Francisco Venegak, an Officer of distinguished abilities and valour, who will act under the orders of General Cuesta, appointed by the Supreme Central Junta Commander in Chief of both armies. • PRIVATE LETTERS.—ALMEIDA, MARCH 29.

The in:entlon of the French appeared to be to attack Pra7a,as they brought many ammunition waggons laden with cords and lad ders. On the 27th a sally was made from Ptaza by a troop of our own legion, supported by artillery, and commanded by Algarve, and they rushed with so much fury upon the enemy that he thought fit preci pitately to retire from that neighbourhood.— The in- 1 telligence from Gallicia is very satisfactory.
