Head-quarters, illuhldo .April 2T. On the 22d, the day after the battle of Landshut, the Emperor left that city for Ratishon, and fon i zlit the battle of Et:humid. At the same time he sent the Duke of [stria with the Bavarian taiivision under• General Wrede, and Moltor's division to proceed to the Inn, and pursue the two corps of the Austrian army beaten at Abensberg and Landshnt. The Duke of Istria arrived successively at Wilshurg and Neumark, found there upwards of 400 carriages, caissions, and equipages, and took from 15 to 1800 prisohers in his march. The Austrian corps found beyond Neumark, a corps of reserve which had arrived upon the Inn. They rallied, and on the :'sth gave battle at N eumark, where the Bavarians, not with. , tanding their extreme inferiority, pre 'served their positions. On the 24th the Emperor had sent the corps of the Duke of Rivoli from Ratisbon to Stratthing, and from thence to Passau, where he arrived on the (.20th. The Duke made the battalion of the Po pass the Inn—it made 300 prisoners, removed the blockade of the citadel, and occupied Scharding. On the 25th, the Duke of Montebello had orders to march with his corps front Ratishon to Mu hldorW. On the rth, he passed the Inn, anti proceeded to the Salza. To day, the 27th, the Emperor has his head-quarters at Muhldorlf. The Austrian division, commanded by General dellachiek, whirl, oc cupied Munich, is pursued by the corps of the Duke of Dantzic. The King of Bavaria ha, shewn himself at Munich. He after wards rewrite(' to Angsbnrg, where he will remain some days, intending not to fix his residence at Munich till Bavaria shall be entirely delivered from the enemy. On the side of Ratisbon the Duke of A uerstadt is gone in pursuit. of Prince Charles, who, cut of front his communicatiou with the Inn and Vienna, has no other resource than that of retiring into the mountains of Bohemia, by W aldmunchen and Cham. With respect to the Emperor of Austria, he appears to have neen before Passau, in order to besiege that place with three battalions of the- Landwerk. All Lavaria anJ the Palatinate are delivered from the presence of the enemy. At Ratisbon, the Emperor p t> ed several corps in rev iew, and caused the bravest soldiers t ► be premed to him. to whom he gave distinctions ard pensions, and the bravest officers, to whom he gave baronies anti lands. !lithe' to ahe Emperor has carried on the war al most w it I out equipage and guards; and one has remarked, that in the ab.-enee of his guards, he had always: about him the allied Bavarian and Wirtemherg troops ; wishing thereby to give them a particular proof of confidence. A report has been circulated that the Emperor has had his leg broken. The fact is, that a spiatt ball graz e d the heel of his hoot, but did hot touch the skin. Never was his Majesty iu better health. though in the midst of the greatest fatigue. It has been remarked as a simgular fact, that oae of t he tirst.a usi Han 0 dicers made prisouer in this war, was the .Aide-de-Camp of Prince Charles, sent to M. Otto with the fatuous I .tter, parportiag that the French army must retire. The inhabi t :nts of Ratishon havin4 behaved very well, and evinced that patriotic and confederated spirit which we have a right to ex p ct from them, his Ni ajely has ordered that the damao - es done srall he repaired a: his e Nvnce, and particularly the rebuilding of the houses burnt, the expense of which will he several mil lioas. Ail the sovereigns and territories of the Confederacy • evince the most patriotic spirit. %\ hen the Austrian Minister at Dresden delivered the D:oduration of his Court to the King of Saxony, the latter could not contain his indignation.—" lon wish for war, and against whom ?

The regiments of the petty Princes, all the allied troop are eager to march against the enemy. A no table circumstance. which posterity will remark as a freA proof of thr signal bad faith of Austria, is, that on the day she wrote a 'letter to the King of Bavaria, she published in the Tyrol, the Proclamation signed by General Jellachich.

THE. NATIONAL REGISTER; PROCL kMATION. Soldiers, you have justifiezl my expectations. You have made up for numbers by your bravery. Yeu have gloriously marked the difference that exists between the soldiers of C:esar and the armed cohorts of Xerxes. In a few days we have tri umphed in the three battles of Tann, A bensburg, and &balld, and iu the actions of Peising, Landshut, and Ratisbon. One hundred pieces of cannon, 40 standards, "60,000 prisoners, 3000 waggons full of baggage, all the chests of the segiments.—Sucb is the result of the rapidity of your march and your courage. The enemy, besotted by a perjured Cabinet, seemed no longer to preserve any recollection of us—They have been promptly awaked—You have appeared to them more ten ibie than ever. Lately they crossed the Inn. and invaded the territory of our al lies. Lately they presumed to carry the war into the heart of our country. Now, defeated and dismayed, they fly in disor der. Already my advanced guard has passed the lun—before a month we shall he at Vienna. Front our head-quarters, Ratibbon, 24th April. (Signed) NAPOLEON. THIRD BCLLETIN. Head-quarters, Burghausen, April 30, 1809. " The Emperor arrived in Muhldarfthe 27th inst. io the even ing. His Majesty detached the division of General Wrede Lauffen on the Salza, in order to overtake the corps, which the enemy had in Tyrol, and which was retreating by forced marches. General Wrede overtook the enemy'S rear on the 28th, near Lauifen, took their baggage, and made many pri soners; but the enemy had sufficient time to cnk.t; the river and burn the bridge. On the 27th the Duke of Dantzie arrived in Wanesburg, and the 28th in Altenmark. On the 29th General Wrede continued his march to Saltzburgh ; about three leagues from the town be found the advanced posts of the enemy's army. The Baravians pursued them closely and entered the town with them. General Wrede assures, that the division of General Jel lachich is completely destroyed. That General has thus been punished for the scandalous proclamation, by which he put the dagger in the hands of the Tyrolese. The Bavarians have calico 500 prisoners, and found considerable magazines in Saltzburgh. On the 28th, at break of day, the Duke of Istria arrived in Burghausen, and his advanced parties took post on the right hanks of the Inn. The same day the Duke of Montebello ar rived in Burghausen. Count Bertrand exerted himself to the utmost to restore the bridge, lwhich had been burnt by the ene my. I t was completed on the 30th, and the whole army crossed the river. " On the iSth a detachment of 5() horse-chasers, commanded by Captain Margaron, arrived in Dittmoning, where he fell in with a battallion of the famous malitia, styled Land w hes, which, on his approach, retreated into a neighbouring wood. Captain Margaroo summoned them to surrender ; after much delihera tint), 1009 men of that valiant militia, posted in a thick wood, altogether inaccessible to cavalry, surrendered to 50 chassenrs. The Emperor wished to see them; they really excite compas sion ; they . are badly armed, worse ;Lama red, and commanded by superaunnated officers of artillery. The cruel and o% erbenN ing temper of the Austrians fully displayed itself during umoment of apparent success, when they occupied Munich. The High baili(l. of Muhldorf was arrested by them and shot.
