Head (tauten at Alpo, 18th Odtobes, Year 14, at midnight. I have the honour to inform you, Martha], that the moment the period agreed on with Prince CH /ALBS was elapfed, I commenced my operations with vigour. At four o'clock this morning I attacked the bridge of the old cattle of Verona, and pallid the Adige. I haßen to live you an account of the refult of the day's tranfattions. I had aftembed the army at Zevio and its environs In as to be able to repair to any quarter where the enemy might attempt a pottage. This affemblage of force gave rife to fetious apprehenfions refpe&ing my real defigns. I ordered a falfe attack to be made on my right, and at the fame time gave orders that an appearance of hone movement (hould be made on my left. My intention was to difiraet the enemy by thole various movements, and the event has amply jutlified my expeEtation. The, firft obit& to be accomplifhed was to throw down the walls that barricaded the middle of the bridge, which was effefted by a device of a very daring nature. The two cuts that the Auflrians had made were rendered paffable by means of planks, and immediately twenty-four companies of light troops, feleCted from the divifions of GARDANNI and Du- IiFSMF, precipitated tlemfelves from the other fide of the river, and on the cover of the guns of the old cattle, and were loon followed by the whole of the firft divifion, commanded by General GARDANNS.— The enemy defended the pafTage in great numbers, and made a very vigorous refiftance. They were driven back, however, and purfued to the heiets.— Reinforcements fent by Prince CHARLES arrived in all direEtions, and continued the aftion with great ob ftinacy from four in the morning till fix in the even ing. The Auftrians did not leave the field till they found the molt vigorous exertions unavailing. We at lag fucceeded in driving them from all their pofitions and deftroying their intrenchments. Seven pieces of cannon and eighteen waggons are the fruit of this day's aftion ; we have made from fourteen to fifteen hundred prifoners ; they have left twelve hun di ed men on the field, and have a great number of wounded. On onr fide we have loft very few ;we have three hundred wounded, but their wounds for the moll part are but trifling. My duty obliges me to give particular praife to the activity and gallant behaviour of General Lo comen Sr. Micmac, commander of the Artillery, and of General CHASSILON, commander of the Es. gineers. 1 am much indebted to General GAMLEN!, who led the firft divifion, and to General Dormer', who fought at theheadof his brigades, forming the referee. The different corps prefent in the anion, Officers and foldiers, have in general acquitted themfelves well, and I propofe to give you a more detailed account its this rdpeet at a future period. I cannot defer, how ever, doing juiliee to the zeal and exertions of M. MERGES, one of your Aid de-camps, who continued clofe by me dui ing the whole affirm. I (hall rake care to communicate to you the waft quenees of this day's aCtion, and the advantages I expeCt to derive from it. Pleafe prefent to his Moja,' the Emperor and king this &ft pledge of the valour of his army of Italy; and have the goodecfs to remind him at the fame time, of our retpeaful devotion and zeal in the execution of his defigns. I have the honour to [elute you, (Signed) M•SSEN•. TWELTTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. MUNICH.

NOVEMBER 4. THIRTEENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. HAAG, OCT. 28.—The army under Marfhal Boa- NADOTTII advanced from Munich on the 26th, and arrived the next day at Wafrerburgh, on the Inn, and proceeded to Altenmarkt, where it halted that night. Six arches of the bridge had been burnt down. Count Ida aucct, Colonel of the Bayarian army, advanced from Roth to Rofenheim. He alto found the bridge burnt, and the enemy on the other fide. After a brifk cannonade, the enemy retired from the right bank ; feveral battalions of French and Bavarians paffed the Inn, and on the 28th, at noon, both the bridges were completely repaired. Colonels Motto and &MIS, of the Engineers, were l indefatigable in their exertions to re-eßablifh the bridges. The enemy were hotly porfued as loon as the troops could pals over; fifty of their rear guard were taken prifoners. Martha' Da vousx, with the army under his com mand, fet out from Freyfing on the 26th, and reached M'ihldorf on the 27th. The enemy defended the right bank of the river, where they had tome bat terms advantageoufly placed. The bridge had been fo much deßroyed, that it was with difficulty re paired. On the 28th, at noon, a confiderable part of Marfbal DAYOUST'S divifion had paffed over. Prince MURAT ordered a brigade of cavalry to pall along the bridge of Muhldorf, caufed the bridges of Oeting and Marekhl to be repaired, and croffed them with a part of his referve. The Emperor him felf went to Haag. The divifion of Martha Soutx lay on their arms beyond Haag; the corps under the command of Gcn. MA a nowt is to halt this night at Wiblbiburgh ; that of. Marfhal Nay at Landffterg ; Mar{ha.' LAN' etts's on the road from Landfhut to Brannan. From all the information which has been received, it ap pears that the Ruffian army is retreating. There has been a great deal of rain during the day. All the country between the Ifer and the Inn is nothing but a continued ford} of fir trees ; the foil is exceffively barren. The army has much reafon to be fatisfied with the zeal and attention of the inha bitants of Munich, in fupplying them with fuch arts des of provifion as they required. NOVEMBER 5. The Monizeur of this day contains the following article ARMY OF ITALY—BULLETIN OTOCTORBE 29. The General in Chief attacked the enemy this morning at five. Whall on their left wing, the di• vifion of General Sess.% palled the Adige at Polo, that of General VERDIER manmuvered from Ronco to Albaro ; at the fame time the divifions of the Ge nerals GARDINNE and DUHZSME, extending them felves before the bridge of the Old Cagle of Verona, attacked the heights cf Val Pantena, and drew round the Caine of St. Felice ; when the General in Chief, availing himfelf of their pofition, obliged the enemy to evacuate Veronette. The palifadoes of the new bridge were immedi ately cut down, and the divifion of horfe chaffeurs, under General Esvaossa ; that of grenadiers under General PARTONN lay ; the cavalry of referve, com manded by General MoWNET, and the divifion of General Moutoa, marched through Veronette, and proceeded to the great road of St. Michel, where the Alsatians oppofed us with their infantry and ca valry, protetled by feveral pieces of cannon. The cavalry was ordered to make repeated charges, which were executed with aftivity, and fupported by the grenadiers of the divifion of MOLITOR. In one of thole charges the fquadron of guides forced Soo men, infantry, to lay down their arms. The enemy were routed, driven from the village of St. Michel, and purfued as far as beyond St. Martin, whatt we occupied Vago. Sixteen hundred prifoners, and two pieces of can non have been the refult of this day's engagement. The Alsatians have left many killed on the field of battle.

On the following day, in the forenoon, the enemy made feveral motions, which feemed to threaten our divilion at Wertingen, and made us fufpee that they were advancing to attack the fame with a confiderable force. As they develop ed themfelves more and more, and efpecially by the march of Come Rrong columns towards Zunimerf haufen, and to the road of Guntzburgh, their inten tions became more and more evident : at laR the battalions of infantry, which Rood at Wertingen, at a great diftance from the army, were attacked with the greaten impetnofity by a more numerous cavalry of the enemy ; and notwithftanding the gallantry hewn by the repeated exertions of our two divifions of cavalry, to fupport the infantry, they were too weak to withfland fuck a force. The lots on our tide was one officer and one hundred men killed, twelie offi cers and two hundred and twenty-one men wounded, and fifty-two officen and one thoufand four hundred and fixty-nine men taken prifoners. The battalions of Spork and Archduke Lewis grenadiers have fut. fered the molt ; three Rand of colours, fix pieces of cannon, and feveral caiffons, have alto fallen into the hands of the enemy.

" On the Bth of Oittober, a divifion of the Impe. rial and Royal Army advanced from Ulm to Guntz-. burgh, to alembic in that quarter the regiments which were Rill abfent, and arriving from their can tonments ; and afterwards, if circumftances ibould be favourable, to proceed again to the right bank of the Danube, and march againft the enemy, if they fhould attempt to pafs that river. On the 9th the army encamped near Guntzburgh, leaning its right' upon the village of Simlach, and the left upon Rei ferfburgh. The bridges on the Danube were occu pied as far as Leipheim ; the Auftrian General d'Ao vase was polled alto upon the left bank of the Da nube, with a corps of light troops, to fend out Come picquets, and to get intelligence relative to the ene my. No fooner was the camp of Guntzburgh form ed, but the corps under General d'Aseass was corn pelled to retreat to the other fide of the Danube, with fame loft, and the Paid General himfelf became mif fing on the oecafion. Thereupon the enemy, under the command of Marfhal Nay, advanced with a con fiderable force to the bridges of the Danube, at tempted to pafs over them, and to drive our troops from the bank. During the whole afternoon their exertions were fruitlefs ; but, towards the evening, a ftrong column of the enemy fucceeded in overpower ing the bridge of the highway near Guntzburgh, and entered that town. The divifion of Blankenftein I hulars charged this dote column with much bravery, but as the latter had already reached in part the ad joining wood, the divifion was obliged to retreat.— ' Thus, when night came on, the enemy remained mai: ter of the right bank, near Guntzburgh. All fur -1 titer attacks, and the pelage of the river were given up, and our troops retreated to Ulm, daring the night from the 9th to the loth.

The following is an extra& of a private letter from Berlin ;.." The viltories of the French teem to have _ _ produced a fudden change in the politics of this Court,, which was on the point of declaring war againft the French. The Emperor of Ruffla; although difpleafed with the dilpoiltiuns made by Auftria with relpeit to its army, and the rapid capitulation of the Imperia lids, neverthelefs employed his belt efforts at Berlin to prevail on our Court to join the Allies, but without fuccefs, fo that he is gone back to Peterftsuro in difguft ; and it is alto added, that he will recal his armies from Germany, Co as he (hall have viunter manded the march of his army at Stralfund. Baron VON HAM:IMMO has been clifpatched on a miffion, and fucceeded in the Mintftry by itsuowt rz, who is of the French party."—lier. Whilli this paper (Batavia , : State Gaxeite, of the Bth), was in the profs, we received Franckfott ligence to the 3d of November. According to intelligence from Wurtzburgh, of the 318 of Odlober, the French had paired the Inn in fe. veral places, and the Ruffian General Ku ru sow had retreated to Wels—to approach, by this retrograde movement, nearer to the troops of his own nation, and to the Auftrian reinforcements, which are coming up. The Eletior of Bavaria arrived at Munich on the 29th of Odober, from Wurtzburgh. Marfhal Ntyleft Ulm on the 26th, tak;ng tl e road of Landfberg. The corps under General Wvi-EsKtn has !hewn itfelf in the environs of Leutkirch. ,\ i LEYDEN, Nor. 7.—According to the laft letters from Berlin, a Grand Council of State was held there on the 29;11 of 06tober, the refult of which had not tranfpired, the deliberations of the Prnffian Cabinet being conllantly covered with a veil of fecrecy, as well as the march of her troops, as much as poffible. Hitherto nothing is known of the tendency thereof. except that a great part of the Pruflian armies will be affembled in Lower Saxony, in Franconia, and in Weliphalia. Concerning that part of the Prullian monarchy, adjoining our Republic, we have accounts from Min tier and Bentheim, which all concur in firing, that Pruffia is forming a line of feparation from the Ems to the Rhine, and that the , different detachments which are to form the fame, are already on their snatch. The laid accounts furmife, that the French Government was not unacquainted with this arrange ment, as the Officer commanding a detachment of French Confcripts, who were on their march to Ha nover, but fent back by the Pruinans, who will not admit any more foldiers, has faid, on his return from Oldenzaal, that he had orders, as loon as the faid line was formed, to retreat to Zutphen. It is, perhaps. to that circumftance, that the com pofure is to be afctibed, with which we have in this country received the intelligence of the landing of the Ruffians in Pomerania, and their intention of marching to Hanover; fince Priaa, according to the aforefaid accounts, will probably prevent it, or at any rate, hinder their further march into Holland, in cafe they Mould intend it. There are alit accounts from Amfterdam, Rating that it was yetierday and the day before pofitively alferted there that Pruffia would remain neutral. M. GORIER, the French Commiffary at Amtlerdam, hal likewife arm ted, that he has received from the French Ambaffaclor at the Hague very fatisfaftory accounts concerning grin:lla. At Berlin a new Paper has been publifhed, tared The Telegraph ; but it was fpecdily prohibited. Ile laid Paper had repeatedly announced great vidories of the Auftrians, which afterwards proved to be en tirely falfe. P. S. According to intelligence received from the Hague, a Courier arrived yetlerday at the French Ambafrador's, with the news that Marfhal Bsawa- DOTTI had defeated the Ruffians, and taken from 13,000 to 15,000 prifoners, independent of the killed. It is alfo related, that this intelligence reached Bctlin jolt as the Emperor of Raffia was fitting down to dinner with the King of Praia. Passau, Ocr. 27.—Yefterday at noon all the Ao (lrian troops who were here were in motion, and about three o'clock they marched off with all their baggage. In the evening they returned, and took putt in the Innfladt. At the fame time four arches in each of the bridges over the Danube and the Inn were broken down. A number of boatmen were collated to remove to a greater dittance the boats loaded with falt, of which there were above a hun dred at St. Nicholas's.

His Majefty the Emperor, before he took his de parture from oar neighbourhood, ordered a conk derable fum of money to be applied to the relief of the unfortunate inhabitants in the vicinity, who have fuffered In much during the few days that our coor. try was the theatre of war. LOWER Rams, Nov. 6.—We learn from Want in Lithuania, that a new Ruffian army of 80,000 men, compofed of chofen troops, and among others ma of the regiments of Guards, is aflembling in that neighbourhood. FROM THE NETHER ELSE. Nov. t.—We are Rill here in expeflation of more decifive intelligence from Berlin. Every thing hitherto is mere conjedure.
