SUPPLEMENT To TI lIC LONDON GAXETI4E, es TVEsDAY, TUN 11TH JIHM. AA Aetount of the Battle fought near Atpern, on the March- I teld, on the 21st and iM of May, 1202, between the Arch duke CIIIARLES of Austria, .ooneralissinto of the imperial Austrian Armies, and the Emperor NAPOLEON., Commander in Chief of the Frisch and Allied Annie*: •"" - - • • The EinpefOr Napoleon having, after some san guinary engagements .near Abensberg, Hansen and • Dinzlingen, in which the fortune of war favoured the Austrian arms so as to force the French garrisen at Ratisbon to surrender, succeeded in cutting off the left wing of the Austrian army and driving it back to . Landshut, and afterwards in advancing by Eck . Ihuhl with a superior corps "of cavalry, taking the road of Eglofsheim, and forcing to retreat those Ms, triln corps that were posted on the heights. of Leike - point and Talmessiig, the Archduke on the 23d of , April crowd the Danube near Ratisbon, and joined the corps of Bellegarde, who .had opened the cam paign by several successful affairs in the Upper Pa latinate, had reached Amberg, Neutharkt, and He im% and had by this time approached Stadt-am-Hof, in order to execute its immediate junction with the ArchdOke. The Emperor Napoleon ordered 'the, bombardment of Ratisbon, occupied by. a few battalions who were to cover the passage of the Danube. On the 23d, in the evening, he became master of it, and imme diately hastened along the right bank of the Danube to enter the Austrian States, in order, as he openly • declared, to dictate'Peace at Vienna. The Austrian army had taken a position - near Chant, .behind the River Regen, which was watched by sortie of the enemy's divisions, while Emperor Na poleorr celled all disposeable troops in forced marches, fr.= the North of Germany to the Danube, and con siderably reinforced his army with the troops of Wur temberg,- Hessia, Baden, and some time after, with chase of Saxony. . . Near Kirn'and Nittenau, some affairs had happen ed between the out-posts, which, Itowever, bad no in fluence upon the armies. .. However easy it would have been for the Archduke to continue his offensive operations on the left bank of the Danube without any material resistance, and however gratifying it might have been to relieve pro vinces which were groaning beneath the pressure of 'foreign dominion ; the preservation of his native land did not perm;t him to suffer the enemy to nct with impunity. in, the entrails of the monarchy, to give up the rich sources of its independence, and ex pose the welfare of the subject to the devastations of foreign conquerors. These motives induced the Archduke to conduct his army. to Bohemia, by the way of Klentsch and Neumark, to occupy the Bohemian Forest with light troops, and part of the Militia, and to direct his march towards Budweis, where he arrived on the 3d of May, hoping to join near Lintz;•his left . wing, •which had been separated from him, and which was under the command of Lieutenant-General Baron . .. Mier. .... .. . . But the latter had been so closely pressed by the united force of the French armies, that, after several spirited engagements, and even after a brilliant affair in which he bad' the advantage near Neumarkt, and .in which the troops atehiev.ed all that was possible, - . against the disproportionate Superiority of the enemy, Ile indeed was able to reach Lintz,• but was incapa ,l4e.,of crossing the Danube, and obliged to content himself With destroying the communication with the lefthink, and taking up a position behind the Trann nearEber.sberg This was the occasion of an extremely murderous engagement, during which the enemy, in storming the bricliv, lost near 4000 men—Ebersberg . was set on fire, and Lieutenant-General Hiller con - tinned his retreat till he pa so much the start as to . pass the Danube near stain, without being disturbed . by the enemy, and to wait the approach of the Arch duke, wlio, after having in vain attempted the *Jane . tion of the arms. near Lintz, had marched from Bud weis to Zwettei ; still hopirg, by a quick passage of the Dahube, to arrest the enemy's progress towards teat Metropolis. Meanwhile, a corps of Wurtembergers had advan ced from Passau along both the shores of the Da nube, lad occupied Lintz and the hank opposite to it ; had restored the bridge, and signalized itself by . destroying the defenceless villages and castles which could not be protected by the small advanced guard proceeding by the side of the main au my. The enemy, by marching through the valley oil the Danube in the straightest line, had got so much 1 a-head, that all hopes of coming up with him in front of Vienna vanished ; still, however, if tivt city had 1 • been able to hold out for five days, it might have I been relieved ; and the Archduke resolved on ventu ring the utmost to rescue that good city, which by the excellent disposition of its citizens, the faithful attach ment to its Sovereign, and its noble devotion, has raised to itself an eternal monument in the annals of Austria. All his plans were now directed towards gaining the bridges across the Danube near Vienna, and endeavouring to save the Imperial residence by a combat under its very walls. Vienna, formerly an important fortress, was in vain besieged by tie Turks, and would even now, from the s,lility of its ramparts, the strong profiles of its wor!:c, and the extensive system of its mines, he ca-1 pable of making a protracted existence, had not, for upwards 4 a century back, the luxury of a large me trop...:i:, the w::nts of ease, the conflux of all the mag- 1 nates in the empire, and the pomp of a splendid Court, totally effaced every consideration of military 1 defence. Palaces adorn the rampart, the casemates and ditchei wer , converted into workshops of trades men, plaw.ation , , mark the counterscarps of the tor-' tress, and aventv. , 7.. of trees traverse the glacis, unit- 1 ing the meat be,lutiful suUttrhs in the world to the, corps de la Place. Although under such circumstances no obstinate resistance of the r:tpital Was to be expected, yet, from the unexampled loyalty of the inhabitants, it • was confidently hoped that Vienna might for a few days serve as a tete-de-pont to cover the passage of the river ; whence all preparations amounted to no more than to secure tie place against a coup-de main ; and for, this reason the Archduke .had some time before directedField-Marshal Hiller to send part of his corps along the right bank towards the capi tal, in the event of his the Archduke's) p assage to the left shore. . emonnweemeneeeseser— -- -Field Marsha- Mier, ,OK -iticcitelle *!tco? .44 111m 11 7 PAN* nl4O 134 . .41 1, 4 *AS. buds - ahebridge near Studs, in his netr, 'to - fee!, * ,the 'toe*, of ; tit tot -Gofer* Peinen.. klallentlie small Corp : of ' Observation . near Krems,: t# .

On the following morning, at day-break, the Arch duke resolved to reconnoitre the island, and employ for this purpose part of the advanced guard, under the command of Field-Marshal Lieutenant Count Klenau, supported by some regiments of cavalry. The Isle of Lobau forms a convenient place of arms, which is about six English miles long, and four and a halt broad, and being separated by the large arm of the Danube from the right bank, nothing pre vents the lmilding of a bridge, which is concealed by wround covered with bushes ; and the great extent of ele island affords the advantage of sending troops and ordnance from so many points of it, that the passage across the smaller arm to the large plain of March field, may be made good by force of arms. It was soon perceived by the strength of the ene my's columns which advanced upon the island, and placed their cannon so as to support the. second pas sage, that he meditated a serious attack. The ad vanced guard sustained a tolerably warm engage-', ment, and the cavalry routed the first division of the enemy, which debotiched from the low rounds on the edge of the river, late in the evening ; upon which, the Archduke, whose intention was not to pr-,..vent the passage of the enemy, but to attack him the following day, retreated with his cavalry to An derkl4a, and ordered the advanced troops to fall back to Maass, according as the enemy should extend him= self. On the 21st at day-break the Archduke orderedhis army under arms, and formed it in two lines on the rising ground behind :G.lasdorf, and between the isam.hill :04 the rivules...Russ.

The enemy had availed himself extre:nclr well of the advantages of the ground to cover his passage. The extensive villages of Essling and Aspern, mostly composed of brick houses, and encircled all round by heaps of earth, resembled two bastions, between which a double line of natural trendies, intended to draw off the water, served as the curtain, and af forded every possible security to the columns passing from the isle of .Lobau. Essling had a gra,lary fur nished with loop-holes,. and whose three stories af forded room for several hundred meta, while Aspern was provided with a strong churchyard. The left side of the latter village borders on an arm of the Danube. Both villages had a sa f e commun i cat i on with the bushy grqurtd near the Danube, from which l jlie enemy had it constantly in his power to dispatch, unseen, fresh reinforcements. The Isle of Lobau served at once as a place of arms and as a tete de pont, a bridge-head forthe bridge, in the rear across the main.arrri of the river. The enemy, with the divisions of Generals Moli tor, Boudet, Nansouty, Legrand, Espagne, Lasalle, and Ferrand, under the Marshals Massena and Las nes, as well as Marshal Ilessieres, together with the Guards Of, the Wurtemberg,.Hesse-Darmstadt, and Baden Auxiliaries, had already left . this position, angl.was directing his march towards Hirschstetten, when the fust,Austrian advanced guards met him.

FIRST COLLMN. • The advanced guard under General Nereirriza desisting of two battalions-of Gynlay and Lidice:, stein Hussars, had formed near the destroyed brio.... of Tabor, and leaving the villages of Ktgran eia Hirschstetten to the• left,.and Stadlau to the rigi a marched in the plain towards Aspe rn . It was followed- by the column,' which •having IL the high -road .before the •Post -office at Stammersdore had marched knit. the- right by half divisions. It: right flank along the Danube was covered by a taliou of St. Georgians, by the first batraboaof Vi. Anna Volunteers, and by i battalion - of Militia, under the etoristisaad of Major Count en:Wore:Jct. Within a cannon-shot of Stadelati the out-posts met the .entitny's piquets, • which gradotdly retreated to their original divisions. At this time General- Nordanan ordered two liatta 'hens of Gyulay to draw-up en echellOn, in Order to favdur the advance of the column. The enerre e drawn up in large divisions, stood immediately Le. fore Asper'' ' • having, to cover his front, orcupield the ditches of the fields, which afforded excellent breast-works. His right was covered by a b4eta and Isis left by a broad and deep ditch (one of the.: that carry off the waters of the Danube hen if '6ver• flaws), as well as by a bushy ground, which: was liketvise occupied by several bodies in close order. Though the enemy had the advantage of positiol all to himself, inasmuch as the freslies of the Danuh were only passable by means of a small bridge, at which he kept up a vigo rous fire from behi n d t i e ditches both with cannon and wield Arms, it did nst prevent the second battalion of Gynlay, immediately =after file first had pene.rated as tar tts the bushy ma. dews, to pass the bridge in a cola:tun - to •farin with out delay, and with thargad b iyonets to attack the enemy, who pre , .-ipicetely reneated to Aspern, ua which occasion :bat village, atter a vigorous but net very obstinate resistance, was taken for the first time. It was, however, not long before the enemy had it • in his power, by the arriv it of a fresh reinforcement, to expel again the battalions of Gyulay. By this time some battalionsei the column had' artired, the Chasseurs of Major Schneider, of the second columa joined the advanced guard of the first ; Gynlar formed again, and the enemy u-as a second time pushed to the lower end of the. village, though le succeeded again in regaining what he had last. Both parties were a wate of- the necessity of main. taiaing themselves in Aspern at any rate, which pro duced successively the most obstinate efforts both it attack. and defence; the parties eagaged each other in every street, in every house, and in every bare ; carts, ploughs, and Marrows were - obligedeo be re• moved during an interrupted fire,. in order to get at the enemy ; every individual wall was an impedi. ment of the aseailirats, and a rampart of the attack •ed ; the steeple, lofty trees, the garrets and the cel lars were to be conquered before either of the parties could stile itself mister ei the place, and yet the possession was ever of short duration ; for no sooner had we taken a street or a house, than the enemy gained another, forcing us to abandon the former.— So this murderous conflict lasted for several hours : the German battalions were supported by Hunga rians, who were again assisted by the Vienna Volun teers, each rivalling the other in courage and perse verance. At the same time the second column cons hissed its attacks with those of the first, having to overcome the same resistance, by reason of the enemy's constantly leading fresh reinforcements into fire. At length General Vacquant of the second co lumn euecteded in becoming master of the upper part of the village, and maintaining himself there during the whole ot:the night. . By the shells of both parties many houses bad been set on fire, .and illuminated the whole country around. tat the extremity of. the right wing on the Bushy Meadow the combats were not less severe. The lett flank of the enemy was secured by an arm of the Danube ;. impenetrable underwood, intersected ealy oy footpaths, covered his front ; and a broad ditch and pal!isadoes afforded him the advantage of a na tured rampart. Here fatieht at the beginning of the battle the first battalion of •Gyulay under Colonel Mariassy ; then the battillion of Chassears under Major Schneider; next the St.-Georgians under I..lajor Milsailotich, and finally, the two battalions of Vienna valunteers under Licata:Ant-Colonel Steigentesch and St. &Zhentin.— I Jere, also, the -enemy was defeated ; and the that day of this sanguinary engagement terminated by the occupation of Aspern by General Vacquant, at the head of eight battalions of the second column, while I.ieutenant-Field-Marshal Hil:er drew the troops of his corps from the village, placed them again in order of battle, and passed the night under arn:s.. ercoen cola ale. - The advanced guard, com:narfdecl by Lieutenant- General Fresnel, advanced by Leopolelau ar.,l Kagran towards Hirschstetten, and consisted of one battalion of chasseurs and two battalions of Anton Mitsovsky under Gen. Winzingerode, as well as the brigades of cavalry, hlenau, and Vincent, under General Veesey. It was followed in the same direction by the column from its position near Gerasdal f. The enemy having been- discovered from the emi. nences near Hirschstetten to be near A spern and Es. slingen, the brigade Veesey was detached against the latter place, and thebrigade Winzingerode to dislodge the enemy from Aspern. The column deployed before Hirschstetten in two lines, in order to support the advanced guard, and leaving Aspern to the right, followed upon the plain, at aproper distance.
