While oar Paper WAS at press, we eeceived se— rcivats from Franklin t, to she 30th of Ortoher. The wilole of the Grand French Army is on its march to the rim. On the 224 and 23d, six divisions in the neighb.nrrhood of A:l;sburg, passed the Lech. A partofthe Army of General Martnont, also passed through Augsburg on the .29th. The advanced posts of the Austrian Army nn the Inn, extend to Wolshof. Wilsbiburg, and Platting. Landshut was, according to the last accounts, in the possession of cr;ther party. The town of P sign], or rather the (. of Oberhans, was summoned on the 115th, ►y the Russian troop•, and rejected the summons. At the same time there were 2,000 Russians at Scharding. The head-quarters of General lEutu sow are at Brannau. There hare been skirmishes in several quarters, but nothing of any importance has occurred. On the 21st of Otober, the troops of Marshal Souk, who now advance into Bavaria, had an affair at Leutkirch. On the Qlst of Clitober. a French de tachment arrived at Straubing, and carried off an Austrian piquet which was statinned there. According to letters from ltatisbon, of the 2lith, Prince Murat is on his way to Bohemia. The Au strian corps commanded by Prince Ferdinand has passed through Bayreuth, and proceeded to Egra. Some cannon, which the Austrians left behind them on their retreat, were &livered to the French. On the night (.f the 25th, the French Minister, Talleyrand, passed thro , igh Stutgard, on his wry to the army. The spirit of revolt, and the ancient animosity of the people against the French, have given ris • to some troubles, which are, however, now cJinple.ely trAnquillized. PARIS, NOP. 1.

The people of that country are well drafted ; they run to arms, and form voluntary guards for the defence of their country, against the incursions of the Cossacks. Generals Deroi and Wreden manifest the utmost aaivity : the latter has taker a great number of Austrian prisoners. He served, during the last war, in the Austrian army, in which he distinguished himself. General Mack, having travelled post through Bavaria, nn his return to Vienna, met General Wreden, at the advanced posts, near the Inn. They had a long conversation en the manner in which the Bavarian army is treated by the French. " We fare much better than with you ;" said General ‘Vreden ;" we are subjeted neither to mot+ ti6eation nor ill-treatment ; and so far from betng exposed the most, we are obliged to demand posts of danger, because the French reserve them for themselves, in preference. With yog a on the con trary, we were sent to every qu-rter token there was a bad 'puniness tO retrieve." A staff officer has just arrived from the army of Italy.

IS I had the honour to inform you, M. le Marrschal, that, on the expiration of the time agreed upon with Prince Charles. I shoold seize the mcieseet of acting with rigour. Thu more Mg, at four o'clock, I attacked the bridge of the old cattle of Verona, and passed the Adige. I hasten to give you an ac- Count of the result of the day. I had assem►led the army at Levis, and in the environs, se as to ►e a►le to proceed to any quarter where the enemy might have attempted a passage. This concentration of the troops inspired an apprehenton of my real design. A false attack was ordered to be made by my right, and hostile de. eionstrationts were likewise directed to he made ►y my left; my object was to deceive the enemy by these different move. menu, and the success was equal to my expectation. The first uperatimg was, to break clown the wall which crossed the middle of the ►ridge ; this was effected by means of an arti fice ►oldly attempted. The two cuts which the Austrians had made, were rendered passable by the aid of planks, end immediately 24 companies of voltigeurs, crook the divisions of Ga. - danne and Deliesme darted to the ether side of the river, wider the protection of the gun of the old cattle: they were soon afterwards followed by t►e whole division, commanded by General Gardenne. The imemy defended the passage in force, and made a vigorous resistance; they were routedeand driven en the heights. Reinforcements, sent ►y Prince Charles, arrived 1 from all parts; the battle continued, with °leniency, from filer o'clock us the morning, till six at night. The Austrians dial net yield till after they had warmly disput. el the grou n d; we, at length, drove them from all their positions, and de• strayed their entrenchments. Seven pieces of cannon, and eighteen covered waggons, are the fruit of that day ; ere tank It W 1500 prisoner.; they left 1200 men on the field of baste, and had a great numb. ..r wounded. The los; in killed , un our side, is very small; we have three hundred wounded, tut scarcely any dangerously. I have to bestow particelsr commendations on the activity cod' courageous conduct of Guttural Lacombe St. Michel, Commandant of Artillery, and of General Cluuseloup, Coro• insolent of Engineert. lam under great obligations to Ge *oral Gardenne, who conducted the first division, and to Gs. neral Dultesiae, who fought at the head of one of ho brigades, forming the reserve. TM different corps present at the action, both officers arid 'Mien, in geoeral, behaved well, and I intend to send you a c.reunistauttal spurt on the subject.

AAAAAA 146!-At the moment when I was sole, intent up on your prosperity, when I foresaw is Jailer, I have boon f ircibly repeated from you. Austria, for the preservation of which the generate blood f E1V1111411% has NO often Rowed, had conceived perfidious plans against you, and against me. She demanded, with threats, that your suns, toy brave soldiers, should be distri buted among the Austrian army, and combat against a power, which lits,at an times, protected the independence is/Swum Thos the Bavarians were not to fight fur their country, but for fotcion interests ; thus the very name of the Itavariau army was to be destroyed. My duty, as a Prince, cud as the father talon indo,witillent and faithful people, has induced me to reject propositious so dishonourable to the nation, and to nuutai m, with firintico, the neutrality of my states. I still flattered mys.4l that I should see my ardent wish at compl;,dted, in the remse of the country. The n , inciatinus upon this subj.!! wsru not yet broken off, when Austria, faith ful to the system or annihilating the independence of Bavaria, vinlated the most sacred Matter, passA the Inu wit 4 her arms, and treated you as the inhabitants of a conquered country. The most burthensotne requaitions were made. You were deprived of the instruments the 'must nee/N.-sty to your in testy, seen those of your agriculture. Your fields were laid waste ) ,,ue cattle were carried forcibly away ; you were inundated with a depreciated paper money ; even a goat number of your sons were forced to serve under tire colours of Austria. After an iairarion so pertiliJus, ter outrages so unheard of, it be came , ns dignity, at a Prin2e and Protelor of the nation, to take tip arms, and to delirer the country from its enpressors. Th.,. Emperor of the French, the nature' ahy of Bavaria, !INS to your stryour with his intrepid warriors. lie co' nee to avenge us. Steady your brothers and your eons fight hi the ranks of t ego lases's, habituatod to victory ; and, already, we sew the dawn of our safety. Eavariani ! you, who patiently bear the evils which the ene mies of the ca entry heap upon you, remember your Prince, who knows your sufferings, who shares thin ; and who can not support the ides of being separated from you, but la th• persuasion, that, by preserving his personal liberty, he has secured to himself the meant of actir.g with an absolute inde pendence for his dear and faithful subjects. Our good cause is under the protection of a lost God, and of a courageous army, cammanded by an invincible Hero' Let the tallying word of every lidiarian be, FIN hit Prince and his country !" (Signed) Wurtsburg, 10th Oct. 1105 MAX. JOSEPH, Elector. - This day being All Saints Day, Te Deem. in thanksgiving for the splendid victories of our armies, was assumed in the metropolitan church, with all the pomp that could be consistent with the absence of His Majesty the Emperor and King, and with ill the joy that circumstances so happy and so me iffisrable ought to inspire. At half-past twelve, His Imperial Highness Prince Joseph, Grand EleSor of the Empire, repaired to Notre Da Ise, accompanied by His Imperial High ness Prince Louis, Constable, and His Serene ll,gh ness the Prince, Arch-Chancellor, the Ministers, and Great Officers present in this capital. A great part of the garrison was under arms. The Princes were received at the entrance of the church by his Eminence the CArdinalArchhishop of Paris, at the bead of his clergy. The grand officers of the legion of honour, the generals employed in the division, the staff of the division, and of the place, and All the authorities, administrative, ju dicial, and municipal, of the city of Paris, also assisted at the ceremony. M. the Cardinal Legate was placed in the midst of the numerous clergy who occupied the sanauary. A■ immense crowd filled the church. The greatest order prevailed there, and the expression of the public joy beamed on every countenance. The ad miration and gratitude for uur august Sovereign, and his brave companions in arms, which were excited in the hearts of the Parisians, by the won ders of an unexampled campaign, were not less lively than at the moment when the first accounts received of them arrived to surpass aU eve :talon. The firing of cannon annouoced to the people of Paris the moment when Ts Deane was chaunted. At night there was a circle at tilt Hotel of his Imperial Highness Prince Joseph. PAM. NOV. 2. The soldiers in the Hospital of Invalids, whose age and state of health leave them still the means of being useful, have entreated his Excel lency, Marshal Serrurier, their Governor, to offer their sers ices to the Emperor, with respen to every thing that it may still be in their power to do. STUTOAID, OCT. et:. Our Court has published a Declaration respelling its conduit in the existing circumstances. It states the fidelity and scrupulous exaetness with which the fileftor of Wirtemberg had fulfilled its obliga tions to the Court of Vienna chain last w ir, and complains. that that Court had not interfered in its favonr in the negociations respeaing the indemnities, and had refused payment Inc the necessaries sup plied to the Austrian troops during the war, or any compeosationforthe artillery Lsiit on that occasion. It •, complarns, that intrigues had been cart ied or. a the House of Wirtemberg, at the last Diet and that the Aulic Council of the Ert,p;w h. 1.1 tided altogether against the Court of .Wicsaati,ei g , in the differences relative to the unmet...te Nubility of the Enipire. The EleCtoral Court had made many concessions to the Court of Vienna, •!;lii could not think that its territories would be made tisk theatre of a war in which it had no interest. The kleaoral Court had applied to the Court of Berlin, and to the Courts of Baden, Bavaria, and Hesse Darmstadt, to maintain the neutrality a the Southern Circles of the Empire ; to which ap plication the Prussian Cabinet returned a refusal, and the distance of the other Courts asunder, pre. vented them taking any measures on the ulbit,J. The declaration then goes o.i to detail the con.laia of the Austrian troops in Bavaria, and the terri!..i. ries of Wirtemberg, as snbjeffs of complaint, till the arrival of the French Emperor at Conishur;;h. Tberepoits which have been circulated for scri.: days past, respelling a combat between the Fre.i,h and Russians, on the frontiers of Bavai ia, are cc., tratlieled. The campaign against the Russ ant not yet commenced. Operations will not commence until after the ar rival upon the Inn of the different corps of the Grand Army, which at assenibiing in the environs of Munich. The French and BiiV4ll4ll troops which formed part of the army that afted on the 'ide of Ulm, have taken the opportunity of a f •:c ,!.tys_ to recover their fatigues. A port of the army of 'jar shall Bernadotto is concentrated in tile environs i.l Munich, and has been several times reviewed by tie Commander-in-Chief. The corps of Marshal Davoust, which, after the occupation of Bavaria by the French troops, pro ceeded to the upper part of the country, nn the fron- tiers of the Tyrol, to observe the movements of the Austrians in that province, has also returned, cca• formably to the orders which they received, to the environs of Munich. Marshal Davoust arrived at Munich on the 21st inst. All his troops were then cantoned a few leagues from that capital. The French and Bavarians entered l.and•hut on the 18th. The Austrians who were posted there, returned to Passau. General Mack arrived, o•t the evening of ti's 21st, at Augsburg, ft om wheace lse continued his route to Austria. The intelligence which we h ive received from Ba reuth and Nuremberg, respeifling the pursuit of Prirv:e. Ferdinand and the troops which accompa. him, contains the most deplorable details of the fa tigikes and losses which they suffered. The Austiiaus lost almost all their infantry, and only a few of their cavalry escaped. The regiment of Latour, so ce. lebrated for its bravery, is reduced to 190 met!. Thus has been dissipate.l that fine army, of which this corps wrs the last remnant, except, perhaps, snr 6,0,,0 men, almost all cavalry. The misery of these fugitives can scarcely be conceived ; the horses and their riders were nearly two days without either sleep or nourishment, being continually com bating with the French. The troops appeared e►- traordinarily well satisfied with the condua of the Archduke Ferdinand. An Adjutant of Prince Murat has gone to Bareuth in all haste : he is charged to deliver a dispatch to the Archduke, or to the first General whom he meets. lIA C II6UTN, OCT. 2'2. The remains of the Austrian army have escaped from Nuremberg into our country. They were at tacked, the night before last, at a short dis tance from Rothenberg, a fortress belonging to the Eleaor of Bavaria. They had lost, on the same day, near one hundred gun: ; and, in this last affair, were obliged to yield to superiority of force. It is said, that Prince Murat h.s divided his corps into two columns ; the one p-r - sues the fugitives with the utmost speed ; the oth2r has taken a detour to reach Egra before the Atli trians. It is supposed, that Prince Ferdinand ar rived yesterd.i ? . at Egra. This day, an Adjutant of Prince Murat pissed through Bayreuth in all haste. He was charged to deliver a dispatch to the Archduke, or to the first General whom he should meet. II: has already passed through this place upon his return. SRL NGEN, OCT 22. The corps of Prince Ferdinand was attacked, oa the 1 Stli, near Wallerstein, by Prince Murat ; he was obliged to retreat with considerable loss to Nu remberg, by forced marches. The day before yes terday it was learned, that this fugitive corps was at Eschenau. At four o'clock a numerous body of Austrians, belonging to the corps of the Arch-duke, was perceived without arms ; they had thrown them away, in order to Ay with the greater celerity. At E;chenau the fugitives rallied under the escort of the cavalry, and a small body of infantry. whi-b had remained unbroken. 'They had nut stopped long, before a corps of French horse-grenadiers ar rived. A slight skirmish took place, a 0..: the Austrians fled towards Grosenberg. ey took a position at the entrance of a little wood, sal placed a battery of six pieces of cannon to cover thei them ; the o f pt isotte them sere firm for a a nd ran o hind the )I,lVe lost and Etch' Erlangen he pi& F{ench,l than one The 1 0-, sled rills The i Got& 4 th4•m a stider saws' tt ac ed it •I SI ti
