The Emperor Napoleon ordered the bombard t of Radiant) occupied by a few battalions ho were to cover the passage of the Danube. On ire 43d in the finales he became master of it, and Ilbsitedintely hastened along the right bank of the Danube to eater the Austrian States, bt anise, as he openly declared, to dictate peace at Vilma& The Austrian army bad tnk. a a positions near Chain, behind the River Regen, which was *etched by some of the enemy's divisions, while the Emperor Napoleon called all the disposable troops, in forced marches, from the North of Ganimey to the Danube, and considerably rein. toned his army with the troops of IVurtemberg, Rally Baden, and some time after with those of Saxony. Near Kivu and Nittenan, some affairs had hap pened between the oat-posts, which, however, had no influence upon the armies. However easy it would have been for the Arch. duke to continue his offensive operations on the left bank of the Danube without any material re sistance, and however gratifying it might have been to relieve provinces which weregroaning he. moth the pressure of foreign dominion ; the pre. serration of his native land did not permit him to suffer the enemy to riot with impunity in the en trails of the monarchy, to give up the rich source of its independence, and expose the welfare of the subject to the devastations of foreign conquerors. These motives induced the Archduke to con duct his army to Bohemia, by the way of klentseli' and Neumarkt, to occupy the Bohemian forest with light troops and part of the militia, and to direct his march towards Budweis, where be ar. rived on the Sd of May, hoping to join near Lintz, his left wing, which had been separated from him, and which was under the command of Lieut.. Gen. Baron Hiller. But the latter had been so closely pressed by. the united force of the French armies, that, after. several spirited engagements, and even after a brilliant affair, in which he had the advan= near Neumarkt, and in which the troops ach all that was possible against the disproportionate superiority of the enemy, he indeed was able to reach Lintz, but was incapable of crossing the Danube, and obliged to cont e nt hi mse lf w i t h de. straying the communication with the left bank, and taking up a position behind the Traun near . Kbersberg. This was the occasion of an ex , tremely murderous engagement, during which the enemy, in storming the bridge, lost near 4000 men Ebersberg was set on fire, and Lieut.. Gen. !filler continued his retreat, till he got so much the stact as to pass the Danube near Stain without being disturbed by the enemy, and to wait the approach of the Archduke, who, after having in vain attempted the junction of the army near Lints, had marched from Budweia to Zwcttel ; still hoping, by a quick passage of the Danube, to arrest the enemy's progress towards the me tropolis. Meanwhile a corps of Wurtembutghers had ad. evinced from Passau along both the shores of the Danube, had occupied Lintz and the bank oppo site to it; had restored the bridge, and signalized itself by destroying the defenseless villages and castles which could not be protected by the small advanced guard proceeding by the side of the main army. The enemy, by marching through the valley of the Danube in the straightest line, had got so much ahead, that ail hopes of coming up with bile le front of Vienne vanished; still, however, if that' city had been able to hold out fur live days, It might have been relieved ; and the Arehdnke re solved on venturing the utmost to rescue that good city, which, by the eacelleet disposition of its ci. tizens, the faithful attachment to its Sovereign s and its noble devotion, has raised to itself an eter. nal monneieet in the annals of Austria. All his plans wen now directed towards pitting the bridges across the Danube, seer Vienna, and en deavouring to save the imperial ausishmice by a combat under its very walls. Vienna, formerly to important fittttals, was be vaiii besieged by the Turks, cad would ) epee mow, from the solidity of its ramplets, the straws pos. Iles of its works, and the eelmasive spasm of ha mines, be capable of makbrki prollralend rode& sine, had not, for upward, of a mt." hicks the preparations amounted , _ the place against a coup. ...an ; and fur this reason the Archduke bad some time before directed Field-Marshal Hiller to send part of his corps along the right bank to wards the capital ; in the event of his (the Arch ke's) passage to the left shore. Field-Marshal Hiller now received orders to burn the bridge near Stain in his rear, to leave a small corps of observation near Krems, to haste* by forced marches with the bulk of his army to the environs of Vienna,- and, as circumstances would permit, by occupying the small island's, to keep up the communication with the city and the &honcho across the bridges. The army of the Archduke now advaseed, without ieterraption, by Neepolla, Horn, and Wetkenderf open Stockerau ; and, in order to overawe such enterprizes as the enemy might pro. jest from the environs of Lint; part of the corps of the General of Artillery, Count Kollowratby which till then had remained near Pilsen, with a view to secure the North and West frontier of Bohemia, was ordered to march to Budwies. Napoleon had used so much expedition on his march to Vienna, that un the 9th of May his ad. sauced troops appeared on the glacie ol the for. tress, whence they were driven by Some cannon list. From three to four thousand regular troops, 'as many armed citizens, and some battalions of country militia, defended the cay ; ordnance of various calibre was placed upon the ramparts; the suburbs were abandoned on account of their great extent; and the numerous islands and low bushy ground behind the town 7:= upied by some light troops of the corps of Hiller, as welt Zs by militia. `' The corps itself was posted on what is tensed " the Point," on the left shore of the river, wait ing the arrival of the army, which was advancing in haste. The occnpation of Vienna formed too essential a part in the extensive plans of the French Em. peror; its conquest bad been announced by him with too much confidence, and was of too great importance towards confirming the prejudice of his irresistible power, for him not to employ every method of taking it before the assistance which wu so near could arrive. A For the space of twenty-four hours the howit. sus played upon the town ; and though several houses were set on tire, the courage of the inha. bitants remained unshaken. But a general devas tation threatened their valuable property ) and when at length the enemy, availing himself of the numerous craft which he found there, crossed the smaller, branches of the Danube, dislodged the troops from the nearest islands, and menaced their communicatiou with the left bank, the city was justified in capitulating, while the troops retreated by the great bridge of Tabor, which they after. wards set on fire. The Archduke received this intelligence in his headquarters, between Horn and Meissen, and though it was scarcely to be expected that this city, surrounded as It was, should continue its re. sistance, the Arcbduke proceeded on his •arch without interruption, flattering himself that be might still be able to execute hit, favourite project by a bold attempt to pass the Danube near Vi• eons. This city capitulated on the 13th of May, so that there was no farther occasion to expose the army to hazard by crossing the Danube., for which no sufficient preparation had been made, and which must have been effected in the face of the enemy, and under circumstances of the greatest disadvantage. By the surrender of Vienna, the army had also lost a point of support on which to rest its military operations. In this situation of affairs, the Archduke re. solved to collect his army at the foot of the hill Bisamberg, and allow it a few clays of rest, Which after so many forced marches it urgently wanted. The cavalry, for the convenience of water, was posted along the Rnss, a small rivulet, which is concealed by ground covered with bashes, and the advanced guards pushed forward to the Danube, in order to observe the movements of the enemy, and prevent his passing the river, which he bad already attempted to do from Ness,levf, to what is called the Stack Lake, bet with se little success, that battalion of his advanced guard was taken. The chain of the out-posts eatanded on the left side as far as the March, anal on the right to Krems; this place and Presburg were occupied by some baths. lions, mid the head-quarters of the Archduke were, on the 10th May, at, Ebersdorf, near the high road leading to Bruno. ale the 19th, the out-posts repined that the enemy had taken possession of the great island of Labatt, within about sus Engliih miles of Vienne, that his number increased there every hour, sad that be seemed to be employed to throning a brides across the great arm vs the Danube, be. hied the ishtetd.
