NUR1741116, Ocr. 6.—On the night between the 4th and sth int. the greater part of the united Ba varian army, under the command of General Ds. soy, arrived in this neighbourhood, Captain Gaa 'marr the day before, having been fent to Anfpach An the fubjed of this paffage. The troops paired this night, in pan upon the Heath between Fourth and Farnbach, on the great road to Frank. fort, and in part in the vicinity of Vach. Yefterday they defiled through Fourth, and took the dire/lion of Schwabach. A divition, under the command cf General Siebein, entered this town yefierday evening. The troops, with their honks, palled the night befide large fires, which were kindled in the public places and RICCES, and this morning, at break of day, let out to join the corps which had pallid the night in the neighbourhood of Schwabach. HAMBURCH, OCT. 15. —The Imperial Charge d'Affaires refident here, received yefterday, in a par cel of letters, dated Radfbon, Oaober 9, (per exprefs) a fhort bulletin, of the following tenor : NI suntan, OCT. 7.—This day a revere battle was fought be- tween part of the combined Gallo Bavarian army and the corps of Auftrians which lately croffcd the Danube, under the command of General Kienmayer, amounting to 20,000 men, who have !ince been reinforced to :B,coo. The French were the aggreffors ; but after two or three charges by the Auftrian cavalry, and after a eonflidt of near five hours, they retreated in great confufion from the fcene of aetion in the neighbourhood of this city. The num• bee of their kilied, wounded and prifoners, amounts to upwards of scion men. I'bis is the firft regular engagement fought In the pre fent war, and the Auftrian troops difplayed a fteadinefs, energy and valour almoft unprecedented." The above bulletin, it thould be Rated, has no fig. nature annexed to it ; but the Aufirian Minifler here Pays he has fome recolledion of the hand. That, Ocrossa 3. Yelierday the French carried off an Aufirian Captain with twenty-eight men of the regiment of Ofnaburg Dragoons, who was polled on the Geifleinger Hill, (even hours march from here. Five thoufand foldiers and eight thoufand peafants are employed day and night in the works about this place. At &II the plan was to rebuild the fortifica tions of the town, which were detnolifhed by order of General MOR au, at the end of the IA war, the half of which have been completely levelled fince that time. But, as the execution of this plan required too much time, they are contenting themfelves with for tifying the heights to the weft of the town with en trenchments and redoubts. During the night, fome regiments are Rationed on thofe heights, and remain there under arms. A Weiffenhorn, three hours march to the Eaft of Ulm, the Aufirians are forming a large encampment, which already confifts of 40,000 men. It appears, therefore, that they are determined to take a firm pofition in the neighbourhood of this town. They are forming a large magazine at Saulgaul, in the principality of Schaar, behind the Upper Danube.— The Aufirians are alfo fortifying Ingoldfiadt. MEM mincam, Ocr. 4.—Some Auflrian regiments daily march through this place for Ulm. Public worfltip is performed only in the principal church.— The other churches, fchool-houfes, &c. have been converted into, magazines. Eight thoufand foldiers and peafants are employed day and night in working at the new fortifications. None of the town's people, without a particular permiflion from the police, are permitted to go out at the gates. The hop planta tions and kitchen gardens in the immediate neigh bourhood of the town, have been in great part de molifhed. The meaneß citizen has fix or (even fol. diers quartered on him. The fituation of the vil lages which lie near the roads, is truly pitiable.—' There the peafants can fcarcely threfh as much as is requifite for fupplying the troops quartered on them, with bread, meal and oats. In many parifhes the hay is already quite exhaußed. Great armies are advancing into Suabia and Bavaria without maga zines; and if plentiful fupplies are not (peedily pro- Lured, there is every reafon to dread a famine in both thefe fertile circles ; for the old Rock of corn was quite exhaufled by the exportation laR rummer to Aullria, and we can no longer look to rich convents For (apply, whole :cores ufed formerly to be alma exhaualefs. As it appears that Switzerland remains neutral, the roads leading to that country are crouded with refugees.—The Imperial head quarters is tranf ferred to day from Mindleheim to Ulm. MINDLE EIRE, Ocr. s.—ln the courfe of this week five regiments, which have been hitherto Rationed in the North part of the Tyrol, have marched into Suabia, and joined the army of the Archduke FERDINAND. This army is Rationed behind the ler, and its advanced guard firetches from Ulm along the South Bank of the Danube to the Black Forelt. The Archduke FERDINAND is a young man of twenty-two years cf age, with a noble and infinu ating addrefs, and at the fame time manly in his manners. The foldiers are very fond of him. In the courfe of the laft eight days (tarter lailer General Mace has vifited the whole potation of the army. All its motions are kept to fecret, that the Commanders of Regiments generally re ceive foaled orders, which they dare not open till af ter arriving at certain places on their march. The troops alfo march for the molt part in the night. SUABIA, OCT. 7.--The French army at prefent takes roads in Suabia where even in the Taft War they never paired in columns. The General of Divifion. OUDINOT, afcended with the fine corps of Grenadiers the well known hill of Geifslingen : he was condufled by Wurtemburgh Chalfeurs. On the right wing a corps is penetrating over Welffenfleig, Blauburen and Klen . genilein to. Schcllingen. There the two armies are fepa rated only by the Danube. Scoarruausve, Sarr.3o.—Yeiterday a battalion of Soo men, of troops from the Canton of Zurich, en our city under the command of Col. HALE -17 to prOICa the Swifs frontier. The um were tercd with the citistruh VIIIIIIA, Ocr. s.—The Prince of Awerfperg has been dispatched on important matters of Rate to His Imperial Majefly has enrolled to the Com mandant of Vienna, Field Martha Count Cold.- WRATH, the command of tuner Annria, ad itsteriss, and Count LATTIRMANN to be Commandant of Vi enna in his place. General Count M DT, who was fent with propofitions to Berlin, has returned to this city. To day the firfl column of Ruffian troops will pars the Danube at Crems. Letters from Poland, Auftria, Silicia, and Mora via, Rate, that the public roads leading from there provinces to Upper Auftria, are fo covered with Ruffian troops, artillery, Ind ammunition waggons, that travellers can fcarcely find means to proceed on their journeys. Lowy* Ecat, Ocr. t4.—The Danifh Cordon of Neutrality, under the command of Major General Von EWALD, which is drawn afreth from the envi rons of Neuftadt, along the Lubeck and Lauenburgh, has been reinforced by fome cavalry and light infan try. MAKREIM, OCT. 7.—The Baron de SCHALL, the Imperial Envoy at Carlftuhe. and Monfieur ADER KAS, the Ruffian Charge d'Affaires, have received notice to depart. They received pais, in which their route was particularly marked, Oner, Heidel• berg, Darmliadt, Frankfort, &c. BOLZANO ' &PT. 2 3.--Yefterday the Secretary of the Field Marthal Lieut. Von B. was brought through this city in irons, and under a fufficient mi litary efcort, in his way to Upper Auftria. TM s cx tcred qthar FROM THE !SEWN PAPERS. Ales PACH, Ocr. 3.—After the French troops had for tome time carefully avoided infringing on the Fruition territory, feveral parties, the day before yet: terday, endeavoured, for the 6rft time, to quarter themfelves in different places belonging to it. Upon refufal, however, they peaceably went away, and pretended miltake. In order timeoufly to prevent every mifundertlanding, the Magiftrates of this place fent a letter to Marthal BeaIIADOTTa, then command ing in Wurtzburg, in which they appealed to the neutrality of his Majefty the King, which extended alfo to his Franconian provinces, and protefted againft the entry or pail - age of any troops whatever. The Marital gave the moft pointed affurances, that the neutrality &mild be refpeited, and that no French foldier fhould fet a foot upon the Pruffian territory. Quarters were neverthelefs befpoket for "ow men, in the territory of Uffenheim, and from 4 to 300 men yefterday came from the Swartfenberg Town, Marktbreit, to Obernbreit, with the view of march ing to the Lower Swartfenberg diftria. However, thefe alto returned without difficulty, on the repre fentation of a fcw huffars. But this morning the advanced guard of Butts- DOTTeS corps, confining of about 4000 cavalry, un der the condua of General Kstisassaa, advanced through Sichartlhaufen into the Pruffian territory, without paying the fmalleft regard to the proteß of the officers of a fmall detachment of hulTars, Rationed on the confines, and the rea of the army followed. The troops were quartered in the country about Uf leach'', where Martha' Blamanozra had his head quarters for the night. Major General Fax am z lASI and Prefickat ScHuc [MANN, repaired to his quarters, where, in the molt folemn manner, they protelled againfl the plane, and all further violation of the territory. But their reprefentations were of no avail, and the General declared to them that be had ez prefs orders from the Emperor to march through the principality of Anfpach, into the territory of Eichßadt, by the way of Anfpach and Gunzenhau fen. He muft have quarters for three nights in the neighbourhood of thefe three places, or he mull let the troops encamp. He had given the itrieteft orders, he added, on the pain of death, againn the commit fion of every excefs ; and all requifitions which were not paid for were likewife Rrialy forbidden. Our province finding it impoffible to refill this aggreffion, a particular relation of all the eircum flames has been fent to the King, by feveral exprelfes; and at laf by an officer belonging to the regiment of Tauen zien. Ocr. 6.—The pafrage and encampment of troops, in the King's Franconian territory, have become much more frequent.• A pa►t of the Gallo Bavarian army, under the command of Martha' BIRKADOTTI, paired through Anfpach on the sth init. and effeded a junc tion with another divifion, at Defrmanfdorf, halt an hour's march from Anfpach, where the General took up his head quarters. There, hotwithilanding the moil zealous exertions of the Field blArfhal, confi derable exceires were committed. On the following day they were to purfue their march for Gunzenhaufen. The Bavarian army, con lifting of 26,0p0 men, encamped on the 4th inn. near Furth, and from thence the greater part have marched towards &hwabach. Lieutenant-General Wasps demanded from the town of Nuremberg, great con tributions in provifions, and other articles, fuch as ammunition waggons, currycombs, chains, pullies, and fo forth, with a threat of execution in cafe of re fufal and, on a remonftrance of the Magifiracy, made three thoufand men enter the town, where they Rill remain. At Dinkel(bulbl ro,ooo, and at Creilfheim 6000 men, belonging to the column of Marfhal DAvourr, have forced a paffage. The latter corps was coot ' manded by General A PPLAR. At Feuchtwangen there were yefterday 20,000 men under the command of General Maamorrr, and at this moment there are upwards of 60,000 foreign troops in the King's Franconian Province of 4nfpacb. FRANCE. PARIS, OCTOBER r 3. News are at this moment circulating, of which we may guarantee the authenticity, for we may give credit to the Engla, when they mention their own defeats. The veffels which left Rochefort have fuf tained the moll glorious combat ; they have taken feveral flips of the Englifls Erin India Company, well armed, richly loaded, and efcorted by (hips of war, which are going to augment the French navy. Nothing can equal the dexterity of the maareuvres and the intrepidity with which one of our frigates contributed to this important fuccefs !—(The re mainder of this frivolous gafconade is net worthy of notice.) Accounts from Mantua Rate, that the fupplies ne ceffary for that fortrefs, in the cafe of a liege, are almoll completed. The works for improving the for tifications are alto nearly fininted. Since the fecond of this month travellers have been prohibited from patting by Mantua. They mull now pals by Goito —the gates will not be opened hereafter, except to ellifettes and couriers. The inhabitants are no longer permitted to approach the works. OCTORIL 14. The report of cannon, which has been heard all the morning, has caufed in this capital more plea fure than furprife. The Emperor is at the head of his armies : we can expo% therefore, nothing but •i&ories : but that which Is announced to us, and opens this extraordinary war with fo much fplendour, is the refult of a plan conceived with fuch genius, and executed with fuch boldnefs and rapidity, that the public joy burns forth on all fides, as if there new triumphs were unoxpeaei. The following is the fec - ond Bulletin of the Grand Army, publifhed in the official journal : " MOHO OFFICIAL BOLLBTIII OF THI GLAND AIIIT, OCTOBER 8. " Events fucceed each other with the greateft ra pidity. On the 6th, the fecond divifion of that part of the corps under Matilt:.l Souvr, which is corn- mended by General VANDANDIR, made a forced march, relied only two hours at Nordlingen, arrived at Donawerth at eight o'clock in the evening, and gained poireffion of the bridge, which was defended by the regiment of Colloredo. Some men were killed and taken prifoners. g 4 On the 7th, at break of day, Prince MURAT ar rived with his dragoons. The bridge had Oft been repaired, and Prince Mtraar, with the divifion of dragoons commanded by General Warrsa, ad vanced to the Lech, and ordered Colonel WaTisa, at the head of two hundred dragoons of the 4th re.. giment, to pats over; who, after a very brilliant charge, took the bridge of the Lech, and routed the enemy, whofe force was double. On the fame day Prince MuIAT slept at Rain. 44 Oa the Bth, Martha! Soul.r fet out wiih the two divifions of Vandamme and Legrand, on his way to Auglbourg, whit& Gen. ST. /imam, with his di vifion, advanced thither by the left bank. 44 On the fame morning, at break of day, Prince Mum, at the head of the divifions of dragoons of Generals SIAUKONT and &ma, and of the divifion of carabiniers and cuiraffiers, commanded by General NANSOUTT I began his march, for the purpofe of cut ting off the road from Ulm to Angfbonrg. When be had arrived at Wertingen, he perceived a ftrong divifion of the enemy's infantry, fupported by four fqaadrons of Albert's cuiraffiers. He immediately furrounded the whole corps. Martha' Laws ss, who marched behind thefe divifions of cavalry, arrived with the divifion of Oudinot : and after an engage went which fatted two hours, the colour!, guns, bag gage, officers, and foldiers, in Ikort, the whole divi. fion of the enemy was taken. There were twelve battalions of grenadiers, who were coming in great hafte from the Tyrol to the affiftance of the army in Bavaria. The details . of this truly brilliant adion will not be known till to-morrow. " Marfhal Soma-, with his divifions, mancenver ed, throughout the whole of the 7th and Bth, on the left bank of the Danube, in order to intercept the de. bouches of Ulm, and to obferve the corps which ap• pared to be [till collated in that place. " The corps of Martha DATOUST arrived only on the 16th at Neubourg. Gen. MAIM/IT'S corps is alfo arrived there. gg The corps of Marlhal Bunanorra, and the Bavarians, arrived on the :dm Aichilett. gg It appears that twelve Anitrian regiments have quitted Italy to reinforce the army in Bavaria. " The official account of thefe marches and events will intereft the public, and do the army the highea honour." OCTOBRIL i 6. 11 THE THIRD RULLITIII OF THE GRAND ARMY. ZITIMBRSHAUSIIII, OCT. to.—Marthal SOULT purfued the Aultrian divifion, which had taken refuge at Aicha, drove it from thence, and on the 9th at noon entered Aug(burgh, with the divifions of Van. damme, St. Hilaire, and Legrand. 0 On the 9th in the evening, Maratal DAVOusr, who croired the Danube at Neuburgh, arrived at skicha with his three clivifions. "General MAR sinus-, with the divifions of Bouts's., Ciovcay, and the Il.ttavian divition of Gen. Du stoncsau, paired the Danube and took a pofition between 4icha and Augiburgh. " In ijpe, thearmy under Mari6.IIIIRMAIIOTTR, to &Fiber with thy Bavarian alloy cOMMIII4I4I bY Ge rnerals Dszoc and Vaanvn, took their potation At Ingo:lladt. The Imperial Guard, commanded by General Bagman, proceeded to Auglburgh; as likenife the divifion of Cuiraffiers, under the emu mand of General Hauvrou cr. Prince MURAT, with the divifion of Km* and Braumoar, and the divifion of carabineers and cuirafliers under General NANSOUTT, battened with all (peed to the village of Zufmerthaufen; in order to intercept the road from Ulm to Augthurgh. " Marthal LAMM, with thogrenadier divifinn of Oudinot, and the divifinn of Suchet, took pole the fame day in the village of Zufmerfhaufen. " The Emperor paired in review the dragoons of Zufmerhanfen : he ordered to be brought before him a dragoon, named MARINTE, of the 4th regiment. one of the gallant foldiers who, in the paffage of the Lech, had Caved his Captain, who but a few days before had calbiered him from his rank. His Majelly bellowed upon him the Eagle of the Legion of Ho nour. The foldier then obferved, " I have only done 'my duty; my Captain degraded me on account of Tome violation of difcipline, but he knows that I have always proved a good foldier." " The Emperor next exprelTed his fatisfaCtion to the dragoons, of the condua they had difplayed at the battle of Wertingen. He ordered each regimen to prefent a dragoon, on whom he alfo bellowed the Eagle of the Legion of Honour. " His Majeftyexprelfed his fatisfadion to the grena. diers of Gen. OUDINOT'S divifion, than which a finer or more enthufiallic corps cannot poffibly " Until we are enabled to give a detailed account of t•te battle of Wertingen, it may be proper to fay fomething of it in the prefent bulletin. "Colonel Milani. at the head of his regiment of Dragoons, charged the regiment of Cuiraffiers of Duke ALBERT. The anion was very fharp. set MUCH! had his horfe killed under him, and his regiment burned with eagernefs to refcue him. Col. Ilsaussosr, of the zoth Hotta.% fired with a true French fpirit, feized upon a Captain of Cuiraffiers, in the mida of the hoffile ranks, whom he himfelf made a prifoner, after having cut down a dragoon. u Colonel Mao elm, at the head of the 9th Dra goons, charged in the village of Wertingen ; being mortally wounded, his laa words were...." Let the Emperor be informed, that the 9th Dragoons have Sewn themfelves worthy of their reputation; and, that they charged and conquered, exclaiming,— " Long live the Emperor I" " That column of grenadiers, the flower of the enemy's army, having formed in a fquare of four battalions, was penetrated and cut down. The Ink battalion of dragoons charged in the wood. " oum woes divifion were indignant at the diaance which Rill prevented them from attacking the enemy ; but at the very fight of them, the Anffrians baba ed their retreat—one brigade only was in time to charge. All the cannon, colours, almoß all the officers of the enemy's army, who fought at Wertin gen, were taken : a great number were killed. Two Lieutenant Colonels, fix Majors, fixty Officers, 4000 foldiers have fallen into our hands. The remainder were difperfeel ; and what efcaped owed their fafety to a morafs, which (lopped a column that was turn ing the enemy. " The chief of a fquadron, Excet.teaxs, Camp of Prince MURAT, had two horfes killed ruder him. It was he who carried the colours to the Em• peror, who faid to him—" I know no man can be braver than you; I male you an Officer of the Le gion of Honour." " Martha! Nay, on his fide, with the divifion. Wal her, Dupont, and Loifon, the divifion of dragoons of General BAIMAGUAY d'Hatttaas, and the divifion Gazan, afcended the Danube, and attacked the enemy in their pofition at Grumberg. It is tow five o'clock, and we hear the firing of cannon. " It rains heavily ; but this does not retard the forc ed marches of the Grand Army. The Emperor fats the example on horfeback night and day, he is con tinually in the mida of the troops, and in every point where his pretence is neceffary. He yeßerday rode fourteen leagues. He flept in a (mall village, with out fervants, and without any kind of baggage.. The Bithop of Augiburgh had, however, illuminated his palace, and waited his Majeßy during a part of the night."
