TWENTY-SIXTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. ZNAIM, NVR. tB.—Prince Murat havino, been its fumed that th; Ruffian Generals, immediately after the figning oldie Convention, were marching with a pul of their army towards Znaim, and that from all appearances the milts party were about to follow them and efcape, caufed it to he fignified to them, that the Emperor had nor ratified the Convention, and that he would of coutfe attack them. In fait, .Prince Murat, having made his difpolitions, advan ced towards the enemy, and attacked them on the tritii, at four o'clock, which brought on the battle of Tanterfilorif, in which a part of the Ruffian army, compoling the rear guard, was routed, loft twelve pieces ot cannon, one hundred baggage waggons, and two thoufand prifoners ; two thoufand more re mained on the field of battle. Varthal Lannes as the enemy in front ; and, while their left was turned by General Dupafs's brigade of grenadiers, Mahal Soult turned their right with General Le vafTeur's brigade, conr.ffing of the 3d and 18th ye tments of the line belonging to Legrand's divifion. General Walther charged the Ruffians with his bri gade of dragoons, and took Soo prifoners. General Laplanche Mortier's brigade of grena diers diftinguifhed themfelves. Were it not for the night, nothing would have efcaped. There were frequent attacks with the bayonet. Some battalions of Ruffian grenadiers (hewed great intrepidity. Gen. Oodinot was wounded. His two aides de-camp, De. tnangeot and Lamotte, were alfo wounded by his fide. General Oudinot's wound will prevent him from ferving for a fortnight. In the mean time, the Emperor wain, to give the grenadiers a mark of Lis cdaem, has given the command of them to Gen. The Emperor advanced his head quarters to Znaim the 57th, at three o'clock. The rear guard of the Ruffians were obliged to leave their lick at Znaim, where he &and a confiderable quantity of flour and oats. The ttliffians retreated towards B:unn, and our advanced guard purfued them half way, but the Emperor having learnt that the Empe ror of Auftria was there, waited to give a proof of his refpeEt for that Prince, and halted the 18th. Annexed is the capitulation of the fort of Koff flein, taken by the Bavarians. . _ General Baraguay d'Hilliers made an incurfion into Bohemia as far as Pilfen, and obliged the enemy to quit his polition. He took Come magazines, and fulfilled the object of his mitfion. The difmounted dragoons rapidly palled over the mountains, covered with ice and fir trees, which feparated Bohemia from Bavaria. It is net poffible to form an idea of the horror which the Ruffians have created in Moravia. In re treating, they fet fire to the firma villages, and they murder the peafantry. In confequence, the inhabi tants feel eat . ) , when they find that they remove.— They exclaim, 66 Our enemies have left us." In fpeaking of them, they charaCterize them as barba rians who have brought ruin apon them. This does not apply to the Officers, who are in general quite different from the foldiers. Many of them are of diAinguilhed merit; but the foldiers are guided by a fivage inftina unknown in European armies. When the inhabitants of Auflria, Moravia, and Bohemia, are atked if they love their Emperor ? they untwer, " We did love him ; but haw thould we continue to love him ? He has brought down the Ruihani." It was reported at Vienna that the Ruffians had defeated the French army, and that they were march ing towards Vienna. A woman cried tut in the fireets, " The French are beaten, and there are the Ruffians." The alarm was general ; fear and (lupe- Lation prevailed in Vienna. Behold the refult of the pernicious councils of Cobentzel, Colloredo, and Lamberti ; therefore there men are deteffed by the nation, and the Emperor of Auftria can never reco ver the confidence and love of his iubjeas, without facrificing them to the public hate, and one day, fooner or later, this mull happen. [The Capitulalion of Kuffitein fillows, as given xn our Paper of the 3oth ult.] SEVENTH BULLEVIN OF THE ARMY OF ITALY. Head Carters, C;crizia, r7th Nov. The enemy, after haring abandoned to u, the Ivink, of the Tagliamento, retreated .owards Palma Nnova. They did not attempt to defend that town, whi,ll they mig:tt have d c ir with advant age ; an d we were n o t aw e to some with their lilt pats, be- fore we had advanced foine miles beyond it. Some trifling fkirmithes took place, in which we took a few pit timers. On the 15th the army was formed in two c ,, lomns, apt advanced towards the Ifonao. The advanced guard under the orders of General Efpagne, entered .ttlifea, two hours before night-fall, after a feeble refinance on the part of the Anftriarr. The horfe clialfeurs then alcended the right bank of the river, to get to Gornzia, and Sc, divition eflabliiheil it fell at the fame time at Sagrado, on the left bank.— On the next day, the d;vilions of Molitor, Gardanne, and Partouneaux, marched by the right bank of the Ifunzo, with an intention of pafling the river below Gorizia ; hut the bridge of boats not being arrived, they could not pats the river at that point. The divisions of Sera, and Duhefme marched, on their fide, towards Rubia and Savogna. Their advanced pnils followed dole at the heels of the enemy. There was an engagement, at the clofe of which the enemy's cavalry fell back in the greateft difyrder—their artillery efcaped on account of the night —we punted them under the walls of Gorizia. The Commander in Chief made his difpofitions for a general attack on the morning of the 17th, but the Aultrians would not rink it. They availed them (elves of the night to haften their retreat. Gen. Efpagne purfues them with the cavalry and light infantry—he has orders to drive them before him to Laybach. The army has taken a polition beyond the Ifonzo ; three hundred freth prifoners have been juft brought in, and every minute we fee others arrive. The ma gazines eftablithed at Udina and Palma Naova have fallen into our hands. The Commander in Chief praifes the continued ac• tivity of the army—they fupport, joyfully and cou rageoufly, the fatigue and privations infeparable from fo rapid a march. It It a teftimony which he is happy to tranfmit to his Majefty the Emperor and King. FROM THE FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS. STIASIURON, Nov. at.—Private letters announce that Prince Murat has advanced to Prelburgh, where he has fixed his head quarters. Her Majetty will repair for two or three days to Carlfruht, to vifit the EleCtoral Family of Baden; but it is not certain whether the will go as far as Mmich. BERLIn, Nov. 13.—Lord Ilaaaowsy arrived here yefferday.—Yetterday 200 waggons belonging w the baking department, fet off to follow our troops into Lower Saxony. RATISBOI, Nov. t 3 exprellt order of bis Im perial Jklajelly of France, all the women who have followed the French army are to be ..nt beyond the Inn. General Seballiani did nothing more than pats through Vienna—he took the road to Hungary, which is encumbered with waggons, baggage, and aids belonging to the Cont. Muntcw,Nv. t6.—The greateff expedition is nfing in the demolition of the fortifications of Ulm. If the French difplay prodigious intrepidity in the foaling of the forts and rocks which motel the de- Piles of the Tyro), the Austrians and Militia do not thew lets firmnefs in defence. Many women, and even girls, armed with fufils, have taken part in the different aFtions. Thefe heroines having fired upon the French troops during their paffige through fume villages, an nrdonnance has been publifhed, render ing their hutb rods and parents refponfible for there intraCtions of the rules of war. AUGSBOURG, Nov. 17.--It is now decided that a cordon of neutrality will he formed from the fron. tiers mf Holland to thole of Bohemia. This cordon will be occupied by the Pruffians, Heffians, and Saxons. It will extend along the Eletlorate of Heffe, by the Country of Fields, and from thence along the Circle of Upper Saxony. As to the difpotition of Pruffia, it is now known that the Convention that was figned on the 3d of No. vember at Potfdam, between the Emperor of Ruffia and the King of Pruffia, is I nly contingent, and merely engages Proffitt to make propofitions for the re-ettabliffiment of peace. Theft propofitions have been arranged, but they may be modified. M. D'Ou bril has been chargei to proceed to London to corn naunicate them to the Englifh Government, whilft the Minifter of State, Haugwitz, communicates them to M. de Talleyrand, Minifter of his Majefty the Emperor of the French. No alliance has been contrafted between Pruffia and Auftria, and the for mer of thefe powers, it is raid, formally referees her neutrality, in the event of the Continental war being 1101 continued. It is certain, however, that fome of the firft Princes of the Empire have been invited to accede to the Convention which we have mentioned. A great number of Polifh Officers, coming from France, have been fummoned to the Imperial head quarters. Several of them have paged by Ulm, pro ceeding on the route to Munich, and from thence to Au ftna. The inhabitants of Venice have been informed by a Proclamation publifhed by the Count De Bitumen, Governor general of Aufiria, that a 4,000 Ruffians would arrive the 3d of November, by fee, from Corfu and Dalmatia, (where the Ruffians had al ready relieved the Auftrians, who had departed for the army), and that they were to be treated as friends and brothers, and quartered en the inhabitants. The Venetians, however, dereft the Ruffians, and fevetal riots have already taken place. According to letters from Triefte, a corps of 4000 Ruffians had already difembarked at Venice, and the feeond disifion was daily expelled. STUTGARD. Nov. 17.—We have jua been inform• ed that General Wolfficehl's corps, which had taken a pofition in the environs of Bregentz, has en deavoured in vain to elle& its retreat by the Vent. fchgau, to join the corps under Prince John, and that, not deeming that plan praelicable, it had deter mined to divide into feveral detachments, with or ders to take different roads, to efc a p e th e French. Some of there detachments, confilling of two (qua drons of the huffars of Blankenftein, and the reft of 'infantry, proceeded by Lcutkirch to Biberach. from whence afcending the Danube and paffing it at Mer -1 gen and Sagmringen, they haftened to Blanbeuren ; cutting off thus the great road from our city to Ulm. whence they attempted to get by Herdenheim and Aalen into the territory of Anfpach, and from thence by Nuremberg to Bohemia. But we are affured that the army under Augertau, the 6111 column of which arrived on the tath at Itavenfbourg, has cut off the retreat of fome (.f the Auftrian detachments, and obliged them to turn back again to the Vomit ' berg and the Tyrol. We learn by letters from Kempren, that Martha' Ney had let out with the greater part of his troops from the environs of Infpruck, to purfue Prince Jolla. After having defeated him at the foot of Merutt Brenner, the Ftendr, it is Paid, paffed that' famous mountain, from whence they are proceeding to Lentz and Draubourg, to repair to Vellach, and there to join Martha! Bernadotte. Letters from Bareuth announce that a fatisfac• tory reply has been made to the King of Proflia, re lative to the paffage of the French troops through the Margraviate of Anfpach, and to the damage done. A private letter from Nuremberg fays, that 66,000 florins in new gold, of the coinage of the Emperor Napoleon, has been fent to Furth, to be depofited in the Prollian Bank there—that furn be ing the amount of the damage occalioned by the above mentioned march. Literz, Nov. ta.—We begin to breathe lines the French have taken poffeffion of this town. The brutal Ruffians almoft devoured us. The Aultrians, in their misfortunes, only thought of themfelves, and were unable to prated us. The vidorions French have re-ellablifhed order ; and we owe the tranquil lity which we enjoy to General Reille, who com mands them. It is fuppofed that our principal in habitants, who were difperfed by the din of war, will return to Peek at their own fire•fid e s, fo r th a t af;lum which other towns cannot afford them. We were yefterday thrown into confiderable alarm. Two hundred Anftrians were difcovered, who had hid themfelves in a barrack when the French entered the !town; they had arms and provifions. General Reille being informed of it, caufed them to be fecured yefterday evening. We cannot refled without horror, that, if there men had been commanded by a bold partifan, they might have attempted Come enterprise which might have colt us much. There was yefterday a dreadful battle between a divifion of the French and the whole Ruffian army. This Jail had fuddenly abandoned the Aultrian army, and paffed the Danube. The divifion of General Gazen attacked vigoroufly ; Martial Mortier was at its head. Every General, every Officer, every Sol dier, performed prodigies of valour. The Ruffians made themfelves remarkable by aCts of unheard-of ferocity. Whole columns were feen offering to furrender, laying down their arms, and recovering them, when the French advanced with the intent of (paring their lives. Many brave fellows were the vidims of this treachery. Night came on and both fides remained on the field of battle. The Rut: liens, by the way of lighting their polities% fet fire to three fine villages ; they danced round the flames Gag ing like favages, and without paying any attention to the cries of the unfortunate Inhalntants,who were roafting in their houfes. How Grange is the defliny of our country We are obliged to abhor our al lies, and defpife our own foldiers, while the enemy are entitled to our admiration. When the brave Marital MORTIRR determined to form his troops in column, to attack and break through the Ruffians, who furronnded him four deep, the foldiers of the companies of fufileers requefted perrniffion to march at the head of it. " The grenadiers," they laid, " have done enough to-day; we alto with to prove to our Emperor, that we are not the garrifon of Ulm." Happy the people who have fuch foldiers to proted them 1 They ate Pure to live with honour, and have no reafon to fear that hordes of barbarians will come to demoliflt thin houfes, violate their wives and daughters, and burn their children to death. —Moniteur.

FROM THE HAMBURGH CORRESPONDENTEN, N0v.89. FRONTIERS OF PPONBWI•, Nov. ao.—On the 170, the Archduke Ferdinand attacked the French Gene ral Baraguay d'Hilliers, at Pilfen, and compelled him to retreat ; In that the Imperial advanced ports have again advanced toWaldmunchen, in the Upper Pala tinate. We are as yet unacquainted with the lots on either fide. The Archduke Ferdinand's corps now confifts of twenty thoufand men. The French are retreating towards Straubingen. Ozmurz, Nov. zo.—Scarcely had the Ruffian- Imperial troops paffed the Danube, on the loth, when information was received than an enemy's co lumn was upon the left bank of that river, and had dettroyed the bridge at Krems. The enemy was only at a diftance of fix werfts. The firli day the infantry paffed under a flight fire. On the tith, it being re marked, that the enemy was not very numerous, Ge neral Kurosow determined upon an attack, and to fall upon the enemy in the rear. The latter were totally defeated, and the whole divifion cut up. A part of them fled over the river in boats ; about fit teen hundred prifoners were made. among them Ge neral GkAIW d'Oac e, with a conliderable number of Staff and Superior Officers. A ftandard and a pair of colours fell into the hands of the Ruffians. The Raves of feveral other colours were found, which were nearly deflroyed by the enemy. Five pieces of cannon were taken ; but only two pieces could be conveyed away. Thirteen wounded French Officers and feveral privates, were left behind at Krems, to gether with tome Ruffians. Yellerday intelligence was received at Eberfbrunn, that the enemy, was in fight of the Imperial troops, near Vienna, havieg met with no oppo fi tion, and had paffed the Danube without exciting the Intl agita lion. Several Generals and officers have diftinguith ed themfelves in thefe affairs. The French Martha' Mercier, has received a dangerous wound in the fhoulder ; it was firft fuppored he had been made prifoner ; but it appears that. with General Gazin, he efcaped in a boat acrofs the Danube. The Ruffian Commandant has been reinforced by the column of Holbrun, confining of cavalry and cotfacks, and twelve pieces of bode artillery. rROCTAMATION ADORLSS•I:I 3 0 Mk.

Still fo much greater was the joy, when, on the tsrh, the Pt ince, with his corps of 6000 men, returned Cafe oo the head-quarters at Wifchan. He had been attacked all fides, on the preceding day, by 30,000 French, under Murat, and feveral other Mtillials. The affair commenced with a heavy cannonade; happily for Prince Pangration, a bomb, thrown into a village, in which a corps of the enemy were polled, which threatened his Rank, compelled them to re treat, for the pit:pore of laving their ammuniti..n from the effects of the flame,: being obliged to take a very circuitous route, the Prince obtained two hours to effed his retreat. The enemy, however, continued his attack' with much impetuolity, and fo far fucceeded as to teparate a few of .he c rps ; but their attempts, though federal limes repeated, were without effeit, as the brave Ruffians always ft..ight their way through the enemy with fixed bayoosets, and even repeatedly threw the French cavalry into diforder. he this manner the valiant Prince, wi/h his corp ofbe thonfand, sepaed a retreat over a cmfArable length of gronne4 combatting thirty Montane! of the enemy at! the way.
