PRANCE FOURTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. AunsIOURG, Oc•r. t I.—The battle of Wertingen has been followed, within the flute of twenty-four hours, by the battle of Gunfbourg. Marfbal Net canfed the whole of his body to pufh forward ; the divifion under the command of General Lot sow, to wards Langenau, and that commanded by General MACH La towards Gunfbourg. The enemy who at tempted to make head againft thef movements was defeated in every direftion. It was in vain that Prince Ftavismon haßentd in perfon to undertake the defence of Gunibourg. The pofition was, in purfuance of General MALHIR'S orders, attacked be the 59th regiment, and an obilinate engagement took place man to man. Colonel LAC U R was killed at the head of Lis regiment, which, notwithflanding the moil vigorous refillance, carried the bridge by Itorm ; the pieces of cannon by which it was defended fell into our hands, and the advantageous pofition of Gunfbourg remained in our potfeffion. • The three attacks made by the enemy proved ufelefs—they re treated with precipitation. mince MURAT'S referee came up at Burgau, and cut off the enemy in the night. The circumflantial details of the battle, which cannot be publifhed for a few days, will announce the names of thofe officers who diltinguilbed them fel ves. The Emperor paired the whole of the night, from the gth to the milt, and a part of the next day, between the corps commanded by Martha's NaY and LAWN CS. . Theae isity of the French army ; the extent and complication of its operations, of which the enemy were entirely ignorant, have difconcerted them ex tremely. The Confcripts difplay as much courage and eager nefs as the veterans. When they have once been in the midft of the fire they lofe the name of confcripts, and they all afpire to the honour of being called fol diers. The weather has continued for literal days to be very bad ; it Rill rains a great deal ; but the army, notwithdanding, enjoys excellent health. The enemy loft upwards of zgoo men in the battle of Gunfbourg. We have taken taco prifoners and fix o,eces . of cannon. We loft in killed and wounded 400 men. Major General D'Asraa is among the prifoners. The Emperor arrived at Augfbourg on the loth, at nine at night. The town has been in our poffellion for t wo days. The communication of the enemy's army has been cut off at Augfbourg and Landfberg, and will be equally fo at Fueffen. Prince Mucar, with the corps of Marlhal Nee and LANSIS. is in pnriiiit of them. Ten regiments have been withdrawn from the Auflriga army of Italy, and are conveying with the utmoa rapidity from the Tyrol. Several of them have been already made prifoners. Several corps of Ruffians, which are alfo advancing poll halle, are prelling forward to the Inn, but fuch are the advert cages of our pinion, that we can make head spina the enemy in all quartets. The Emperor has taken up his refidence at Augf bourg, in the palace of the former Elector of Treves, who has treated with great magnificence the fuite of his Majefiy as they fucceffively arrived.

It was fo difconeerted, and the s(sth regiment was ani mated with fueh an ardour, that the tuiraffiers took eight on the charge, and left sxo foldiers prifoners, one Lieutenant-Colonel, two Captains, and two pie ces of cannon. Martha) Semi., who imagined that they would continue their route upon Memmingen, had fent feveral regiments to cut them off, but they had retreated into the woods, where they rallied, in order to take refuge in the Tyrol. Twenty pieces of cannon, and the equipage of the enemy's pontoons, had naffed on the loth by Landf berg—Martha! Sottt.v fent General 8,1113711 Ni in purfeit of them, with a brigade of dragoons.

Marthal Lariats is at Weifftriborn. General filaestoriv is advanced by a forced march to take a pofition on the height of Illertheim, and Martha' Sou t.r outflanks the right of the enemy at Memmingen. The Imperial guard has leftAtigfbourg for Borgau, where probably the Emperor will pals this night. A decifive affair is jult about to take place. The Auarian army:has almofl all its communications cut off. It is nearly in the fame lituation in which the army of MaLas was at Marengo. The Emperor was upon the bridges of the Lech when the divifion -of General MARMON r defiled. He canted each regimencto form a circle.
