"Since the groat the of Aspern, nothing pf importance has occurred on either side: but the skirmishing and trifling affairs that have occurred in the mean while, hare shown anew the spirit and courage of his Majesty's troops. Opposite to Krems, General Schusteek passed to the right side of the Danube with a division, and made some French troops prisoners. The enemy have sought to avenge themselves by a cannonade against the towns of Krems and Stein. 64 Opposite to Presburgh, on the right side of the Danube, the Generalissimo had caused a tete de pent to be erected ; fhii enemy's corps, ander Marshal Davoust, has made three vigorous at. tacks against the tete de pont : some battalions of the Laadwher have greatly distinguished them selves in the defence of it. The troops of the Landwher had before, at Abersberg, Nusdorff, and in the great battle of Aspern, emulated the veteran regiments, and covered themselves with glory. The Hungarian Insurrection is advancing to reinforce the grand army. IVithin a few dap 40,000 men will be me the frontiers, and form a junction with the army under the Archduke John, which communicates with the Grand Army by Freeburg.
