I FROM THE FRENCH AND DUTCH JOURNALS. IN CONTINUATION FROM T 1.6 PRECEDING PAGE. AMSTERDAM, OCT. .7.4...-41 if afferted, that fa. , vourahle acc ,, tints have been received of the opera tiqns of the French A ru y ; they ro fo far as to fay, that an armiftice is in agitation. It is air, afrerted, that lime Ruffian !hips of the line have lately ap• penred in the North Sea, without having any troops on board. HACU F. OCT. 25.-=Let lets from Switzerland have been received at Paris, Hating, that the Auflrians have been attacked at Roveredo, and driven from their poiltions. Martha] MASSEN.I was advancing with his troops int , ) the Italian Tyrol. For twn days pall repeated accounts have been re ceived from the army on the Danube ; but nothing firtker official ie yet publithed. Meanwhile it us un dergood that the taking of Ulm by the French is more and more probable ; that much blood was fpik in the contlia— that two French Generals, BONDIT and GItnUCH e, were killed ; and General VictsmiLls had both his legs carried away by a cannon ball. MUNICH, Ocr. 13.—0 n the loth ingant, General KIENINAYER arrived here with his corps from Augt burgh. He immediately demanded 300,000 f. in mo nev, 300 oxen, and too draught holies ; with much difficulty our Magillrates obtained a delay till the next morning, but a menace was added, that the town would be battered down if the demand were not com• plied with by that time. Happily for us, the Autlrians received information, by different expreffes, that a French column was approaching from Friedberg and Schonau. On receipt of this intelligence, General Ktt N MAYEII broke up in great Italie, carrying all the cat , le akng with him which the At& ians could lay hold of. On the tzth, at feven in the morning, the French Colonel, A MEM, firft entered Munich, with a detachment ofchallears, but paffed the Her without !topping city. Several Aultrians were taken prifoners, having Haiti behind in the city. Shortly after, General Wit EDE arrived with fome Bavarian Dragoons. He was received with peat joy, the penile exclaiming " Long Live Maximilian Jofeph !" General Wit EDE was followed by a corps of Bavarian infalitry and cavalry, with their cannon, &c. This corps did not remain long in the city, but took the road to Ficifingen, to purfue the Augrians Intelligence was received, that General KISNMAYFIL was met by the column coming from Friedberg, and repulfed After an engagement which laged two hours. His Excellency, the Marlhal BEINADOTTS, arrived here y eller day, and alighted at the palace of Duke WILLIAM. BANKS or Tile LRCM, OCT. Imperial Majelly NAPOLI.ON left Augfburg for the army late in the evening of the 1 2th ; and on the fame day two thoufand labourers were put in remilition by the Magiftrates. The French appear defirous of crating fortifications with the ntmoft expedition along the weft bank of the Lech ; and have made a demand of soomoo ells of cloth from our merchants, to be paid by drafts on Paris. The Gallo Bavarian army reached Augfburg and the neighbourhood, late in the evening of the mil,. and bloke up.for Burgau early next morning. The Imperial Guards, both horfe and foot, had taken the fame route on the lath, to the number of fix thou land men. On the 1 ith there were quartered in Auglburg, no fewer than 22,000 men, and 8000 hone. Orr the morning of the r 3th, early, the Com mandant iffued an order that no one fhnuld go out of the gates on pain of death. The different polls only were allowed to proceed. During the whole of the night between the 12th and 13th, there was a continued paffage of artillery and ammunition wag gems in immenti quantities by Angfburg, towards Ulm, and on flu, day, the 14th, there is hardly a Fr owl foldit.r to be teen in the former city. All the Generals accompanied the Emperor to the army.— We hear d yellerday a fevere cannonade in the direc tion of Ulm, but ue are ignorant of the &nation of affairs both there and at Memmingen. In the courfe of lalt night forty pontoons of the French army p.iffed Angfburg, on the way to Mu nich, and their engineers arc employed in erecting tetes-du-pone with all potlible expedition at Augf burg, at Land(brr;,•, and at Schnngau. The Com mandant of the fill} mentioned city put all the fur geons and ether medical men in requifition on the 13th ; as all , : above a thoufand waggons, with direc tions to proceed to •Burgau. There are unqueflion ably preparations to a dreadful engagement ; and we look forward to the fatal day with the molt anxious fears. We have heard a continued cannon ade from tine wellward fince four o'clock this morning.- AUGSBURG. OCT. 12.—His Imperial MAiefly Na• soLina paffed yefterday feveral hours in his clofet, and difpatched couriers to the armies in different di reftions. The French and Italian Guards, both of boric and font, marched from this place to the Wellward, this day at noon. The Qipulations of the alliance between the French and part of the Ger man Piinces, are; that the EleCtor of Bavaria (ball furnifh 26,000 men, Wirtemherg 8000, and Baden 40cc. For the 'ail three days the courfe of the pulls bac been entirely nte•rep ed. Even from Munich and Ulm we have received no intelligence, but it is laid that part of Ulm bas been burnt. In Augfbwg, and more in the adjoining villages, there is the molt deplorable fcarcity of provilions. Even the necef faries of life are not to be bought at any price. Ocr. 19.—Since the ittli i lt, we have heard the dittant reports ofcannon almolt without inter ; this day in particular it is very loud. The French art forming Icier dukes and entrenchments on the NV (tern Bank • f the Lech. If we except a few exceffes whier have been com mitted in the country, we have nu reafcn to complain of the Aulttians in StiaNia ; but it is generally af fert:d,that they have behat ed very ill in Bavaria. The c untry people have been robbed and pillaged, and many of them who attem ,, ted to defend therufelves againit the Hufras and Watts, were cut to pieces by them. About 6uo waggons, lined with Ilraw, were lately fent from Augfbrogh to Ulm and Mem eningen,to convey the wounded foldiers away without delay, if a battle Ilsould take place. We have received letters front Munich of the 13th, mentioning that a ferions engagement has taken place between the French and Atillrimrs in Italy. They write front Amberg, that the Aultrian troops that city and its cusituns. Faaatavoar, OCT. 19. —The lateft *tenants from Bavaria mention, that Maritsa! Beananorva had en gaged the Anfirians under general KIINDIATIIR, amounting to I 2,000 prong, firft at Aieha and after. wards near Munich. Ili RNADOTTR arrived at Mu nich on the 12th. General Kt INIRATIR had jult eva cuated the place as the French and Bavarians enter• ed, and a few ftragglers of his army were taken ph foners. BiIIIADOTTI as loon as he had taken pof legion of Munich, fent off a column in pnrfuit of the Au Ilrians retreating towards the Inn. On the other hind, another French column at the fame time ad• vanced towards Landflun, while the main body of the Bavarian troops attached to the army of Martha' Ba R NADOTTII, advanced towards Straaberg. On the 13th and 14th, the French and Bavarian troops, under the command of Marfhal Batt manor,- a, had advanced further towards the Inn, but had left behind confiderable garrifons in Munich and In In goldiladt, and were labouring hard in fortifying par ticularly the latter, with a view of obfervin? the Aaf• trians, who have entered the Upper Palatinate, and who have evinced a difpofition to attack Inrldftadt, and to prevent their penetrating into Bavaria. The French proceed along the Lech, and have ad vanced as far as Fueffen and Schnogan. It h Hated that between Fueffen and Landlberg, they had an ation with the Aultrians, in which they took Tome cannon. At Fueffen a number of AuArians are at work in railing fortifications fur the defence of the approaches to the Tyrol on that fide. The following is an abfirae of the lateß intelli gence received here, concerning the operations of the armies on the Danube. the Lech, and the Ifer (of which fame mention has been made in the Hague Courant of the zsth, remarking at the fame time that they (late nothing pofitive relative to the general en gagement which has taken place at Ulm, the true refult of which is left unnoticed). Concerning the engagement of Guntzburgh, they write from Brenzthal, the 12th of Calker, that it was a very fevere one, and continued until night with the greateft obßinacy en both fides, and with terrible havoc. It was thought, that both the Archduke FERDINAND and General Maca were prefent. The French troops determined to Alec the palfage of the Danube, con what it would, were received by the Aufirians with loch (bowers of grape fhor, that whole ranks of the French army were mowed down ; but at left they gained their objee, partly by t'wim ming acroft the river. The Auflrians evacuated Guntzburgh early in the morning, when Martha) Nay arrived at noon with his headquarters, and the French occupied that city, drawing up their corps along the left bank of the Danube to Langenau and Albeck, where another engagement took place, it; which the French fuftained a great lots in killed and wounded,and a number of them were taken prifoners. On the s tth Marlhal Nay broke up with his head quarters to Kifrendorff and Memmingen. It is added, that the Marfbal had taken Tome thoufands of Aut . - trian prifoners in different ghosts. The 'cries from Stutgard to the 17th inn. Rate, that the Auftrians arrived at Heidellheim on the t sth, where they found a part of the baggage belonging to the French corps, whist bad made a fruitlefs attack at Allsach on the 11th. For a few days paft the banks of all the rivers have overflowed, owing to the continual rain, which circumftance has entirely 'lopped the progrefs of the mails. It appears to be confirmed, however, by the unanimous reports of travellers, coming from the dif triets of Ulm and Htidellheim, that a frefh engage ment has really been fought in the vicinity of Ulm. The Emperor kittroxsors, it was (aid, had arrived there in perfon, with a reinforcement, and had made it general attack. It was added, that he had taken All the entrenched mountains, as the Michael's Mountain, the Cow's Mountain, the Gallow's Moun tain, Ike. confequently the polls within that compafs were furrounded.• On that occation a divifion of the Auftrian army, with his Imperial Highnefs the Archduke FILIDINAND, were Paid to be cut off from the main army. Thefe were the troops, it is added, which have been for feveral days in the environs of Heidelfheim, Alen, &c. The Paid Archduke had his quarters at Geround. It is not known whether the important affair of Ulm took place nn Sunday the 13th, or on what day; nor are any further particulars known. They wtite from Ratifb)n, the 16th OiSober, that on that day arrived at Stadt-am Hof the van of a very numerous body of Auflrian troops, which is ad vancing from the Upper Palatinate. We are informed that the Elaine of Bavaria bas left Wurtzburgh for Munich. OCTOBIR 20.—0 n the 14th or 15th of this month, a (refit and moft bloody and obftinate engagement took place, which tailed the whole day, and in which the Emperor NAroxEoll himfelfat !aft, arriving with reinforcements, decided the viCtory. The conk quence of this too, is liated to have been, that of not Ulm itfelf, yet all the heights around the town; by which it is cernmanded, fell into the hands of the French. The Aufttians, who had paffed to the left bank of the Danube, and extended themfelves- (UM ' derably towards the frontiers of Franconia, mud now be cut off from the army between Ulm and Meru mingen and are in the moil defperate titration. The Archduke FERDIN awn in perfon commands that part of the army, which in the night of the tsth and 16th was at Gemund. The advanced poßs of the Außrians, who are pulhiocr with vigour through the Upper Palatinate, along the Danube, arrived onthe 6th at Stat-ans• Hoff: Confiderable doubt prevails as to the corps under General AUGER FAU. Some accounts Rate, that be has paired the Rhine at Huninguen ; others fay that form regiments of that army have arrived in the ter ritory of Baden, and have reached near Manheim. Hither to no certain accounts have been received of what has taken place in Italy. It is generally reported, however in private letters from Munich of the 13th, that holtilities have likewife commenced in that quarter. In a general order, ;Riled at the grand head quar ters at Anyfburg, of the 13. h, the Emperor Nero- LE• a expreffes his fatisfadion with the divifton of &ago , ns, which at the afFair at Wertingen on the Bth, took 3000 prifoners, eight Rand of colours and feven pieces of cannon ; and alto with the troops which were engaged at the battle of Guntzbnrg, and who c i artied by norm the bridge that commanded the enemy's potation, taking Guy Major Gooral apd moo men plifoners, &c. RAMROD, OCT. t6.—We learn from Straubingen, by letter of the t ath, that the firft column of Ruffians has effeaed a junaion with the Auftrians near the Inn. Bomaraitri, on leaving Augfburgh, did not go in the direCtion of Burgau, as was ftippored,, bot marched with an army of 90,000 men akainft the Ruffians ; while Prince Wear is advancing with 80,000 againft' the Auftrians, polled at Ulm. Faom THS LOWER Ruins, OCT. a 3 to letters from Augfburgh, the French made another attack at every point on the t4th, but could not I force the Auftrians to give way. On the tsth it was reported at Augfburgh, that the French had carried• the entrenchments of Ulm and the city itfelf, by af fault ; but• the letters of the t6th, which have jolt arrived, make no mention of it. Donauwerth is full of wounded foldiers, many of them are Auftrians, whom they could not carry away. Auftrian prifoners were paling by without intermiffion from the 9th to the t 2th. NORA/411Ra, Ocr. 16.—According to the lateft accounts, Martha' BERNADOTTE had transferred his head-quarters from Munich to Weilheim ; the right wing of the French and Bavarian army under his command extends as far as the Mountain; the centre, which has marched to Wolfhartfhaufen, Parfdorf and Hohnlinden, has taken a pofition oppofite the Ina. —The left wing, which is advanced over Mithldorf. (where General Wrctle has eftablifhed his head quarters) Hands on the Inn. Five battalions and two fqnadrons of Bavarians have remained at In goldfladt to cover the flank, and to have the com mand of the Danube in that quarter. The divilion of French troops which has marched up the Lech, clofely obferves the paffes of the Tyrol. It is raid that they have come to blows on the t3th, with a divifion of the Aullrian corps in the neighbourhood of Fueffen. STOTGARD, OCT. 16.—We hear f,om Schorndotf, that ten or twelve fquatlrons of Auflrian cavalry ar• rived at Gemund, from the neighbourhood of Ulm, by S way of Heidenheim and Asia. They had arrived late in the evening of the 13th at Heidenheim, with nearly four battalions of infantry. We underftand there has been a very bloody adlion within thefe few days, near Ulm, and the Aulitian cavalry which arrived at Gemund, returned fall right to Aala. Small divifions of Auftrian troops have fucceffively made their appearance, within thefe few days, near Kircheim, Urach, and the nei gh bouring places. In addition to a large portion of artini !iffy's corps, frelh bodies of French troops are advancing on the Right Bank of the Danube towards Memmingen and Mindelheim, while the Auflrians, on the other hand, I continue to extend themfelves on the Left Bank. We are Qiii deprived of all the polls, from Ulm, Auglburgh, and Bavaria. The French report that BONAPARTE'S headquarters are at Friedburg, and that he has been at Munich in perfon. OCT. 17.—The continual rain which bas fallen for feveral days pall, has (welled moll of our rivers to fuch a degree that the communication with the other parts of Suabia is extremely difficult. But the travellers coming from the vicinity of Ulm :drat, that another adlion has been fought near that city ; that the Emperor had arrived in perfon with a rein• forcement, and attacked the Auflrians, driving them from their entrenchments in the environs of Ulm.— We are very anxious to receive a further confirma tion of this intelligence. It is generally aliened here, that Ulm VMS (liii in the poffeffion of the Auffrians on the 13th, and that they defended the place with great obtlinacy down to that time. The French corps which was engaged on the t tth, on the left bank of the Danube, could not gain its purpofe. The Au- Mans were able at that time to maintain their pofi tion there, as well as at Memmingen. They begin, on their part, to extend themfelves further on the left bank of the Danube; on the 13th about four batta lions of infantry, and 400 , men of cavalry, :arived at Heydlefheim from Ulm ; at the fame time feveral Aufirian detachments, but of lets force, made their appearance in the environs of Goppingen and Uraeh. We are informed by letters from the Tyrol, that the Auftlian regiments of Mitrowfki, Kerpen and Klebak, and the dragoons of Melas and Wurtemberg, who formed a part of the Italian army, have received orders to go to Germany by forced marches. Other accounts mate, that the Auftrians have been Peen not only at Geiflingen, hut alto at Gemund : Bat we have received Intelligence yefterday afternoon, that all thole detachments have rejoined their former pc:. fitions at Ulm. They hitvc left LONDON. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK: Confols BU—Ditto, for November Off. Reduced 381—OnmIum 41.

Coot. fur ac 0.5911 We yefferday Rated, that on board a boat drifted from the harbour of Boulogne, which was picked up by the les worrat.yrs frigate, was found a letter, an nouncing the defeat of the Auftrian Army. We have fine learnt that the packet was addreffed thus : " The Commodore of the Engtilh Squadron" and on the envelope were the words, "The Commodore Rosin hat the plenfitre to inform the Commodore of the EttglithSquadron of thin good newt." In the envelope was a paper, upon which was written, in large letters, on one fide : " L' Arm,: fitarichietrne, forte de cent tnille kortmee, eft detruite. Le Gen. en Chef Hier luirsime ft fait primer Uhn, et le Prince FIRDINAND sff en faits." The following tranflation was given on the other fide: " The army of the AuMans, Prong of one hun- dred thonfand, is no more. The General in Chief MAC[ is himfelf a prifoner in Ulm, and Ptince rya- DINAND is put to flight." We shall now Rate what further particulars have reached us refpelling the armies, derived from private fources, and from flitch journals, which have v.snie to hapd to the 27th inflant. A Gentleman, who arrived in town yellerday, from Amfterdam, which place he left lan Fo iddy, Rates, that oft the preceding Wednefday letters were re ceived in that city, from Officers belonging to the French army under tloe command of General BLit Lt- Dorrr, giving an account of that army having been attacked and defeated by a fuperior number of Rd liana t and that Generals Bosuns., GROUCHY, and VeCNBAUD, fell in the anion, and Generals Mat. MONT and DIMONCIAU were among the wounded. He further Rates, that the regiment of Waldech, con fitting of Dutch troops under the command of Bet anorra, was entirely cut to pieces. On Friday, the day be left Amfterdam, no communication of the engagement had been made known, which led to a belief there that the French had met with a total defeat. It is not unlikely that fuch a rumour might bare prevailed, on the day Rated, at Amsterdam ; but the account contains tome cniftakes, which, much u we mould with to hear it confirmed, difpofe us to doubt its accuracy altogether. General &tumour. who is Rated to have been wounded in the anion with the Ruffians, was not with the corps which was punted on to Munich undcr BERNADOTTE. A reference to the Nib Bulletin will thew, that he commanded a divifion of the main army, and that ' he was making forced marches on the math inflant, to occupy the heights of Illertheim in front of the Auftrian pofition. And, befides all this, the Dutch Papers of a later date than the day he left Angler dam, do not even Rate a rumour of the above kind. As to the events that have taken place at Ulm, we find nothing official refpeiting them in the jour nals that have reached us, owing probably to the in. tcrruption of the communications with Strafborgh and the French frontier. It appears, however. now to be certain that on the 15th a moR fevere engage. ment was fought by the corps of the French army in the neighbourhood of Ulm, and the Auftrians there. The battle continued the whole day ; but at lalt 80. WART a arrived in perfon with reinforcements, and the French carried all the works which furround the place. It is pretty evident, however, that they did not, in the firft inflance, carry Ulm itfelf. A private letter was yefterday received by a French Officer in the royal fervice in London, from an Auf trian Officer of rank, in which it is Rated, 4 4 That " although the French were ultimately fuccefsful in " carrying the works, yet in the night General MAC lc " was able to evacuate the place in petted order, and " that the French had fuffered fo much, that for two " days they did not purfue him." The Aufirian troops never fought more gallantly upon any °co fion. This account feems probable when compared with every thing we find in the various Journals before us from all parts of Germany. It appears certain that the adion was extremely bloody. Nay we think it likely that previous to the attack of the t yth, the French may have been repulfed. Some private accounts fay that the (laughter amounted to between 20 and 30,000 on both fides. The Foreign Papers fay that the French Gt.: ner als BOVDET and Gaoucni, both very dillinguiffieff Officerb, were killed, and General VioNot.t.es had '- both his legs !hot off. Some accounts add Maamoor and Muter to the lift of killed. More than twenty fuperior Officers were killed on the fide of the French. But dearly as the French mull have purchifed this fuccefs, it is doubtlefs very important ; becanfe the Aufirian pofition upon the Iller, is, by the lots of Ulm, its chief poi's: d'attri, thereby deflroyed, and the corps on the left bank of the Danube, under the Archduke F2IDINAND, in perfon, as is timed, muff be cot off from the main body of the army. They cannot be in force greatly to incommode the grand French army, though they intercept the communica. Lion with Strafburgh. Ilk be true that General Macc evacuated Ulm ou the night of the battle, we thould imagine that he mull have tried to proceed to Memmingen, becaufe if be had gone to the left bank of the Danube, it mull have been known at Stutgard, Franckfort, &c. from which there are various letters of the aoth and T7th; but, if he went towards Memmingen, his march might not be known in Franconia. Indeed the events which have pallid between the armies !ince the affair of Guntzburgh, on the toth, Item as yet to be imperfeetly known, even in places reared the fcene of aftinn. But, however pleading it is to find that the French have not only exaggerated the loins of the Autlrians but diminithed their own, we fear it is but too cer tain, that they have, upon the whole, been too fuc cefsful. The occupatbn of Ulm, as a point which gives them a command of the Ault; ian pofition on the Iller, and Rill feparates them from the luccours they expea ed, is of the utmoft importance to BONAPAATE. If General Macs proceeded to Memmingen, he mutt have laid his account with being again attacked lin a pofition lefs capable of refinance, and in doing fo we cannot help thinking that he loft his onlychance of efcape. If he went to the left Bank of the Danube into the Upper Palatinate, he was completely cepa- rated from all the points of cupport, and could cfcispe the purfnit of the enemy only by a flight, but then he might have brought away force part of hi, army. Perhaps, indeed, he had no choice after 1,71. n was taken but so withdraw, the only outlet left by the French being between him and Franconia. From the accounts before 1,.. it appears, that while i a p; inci.sl Fan of the F:etteh army was occupied in
