The Empe ror might have taken the place by assault, bitt 10,000 men, defended by fuot;icitions and wet ditches, would have made a resictnnce, and his de,ire was, ►n save the effusion of blooi. General Mack was in that city. The Austrian army consisted of 14 regiments of Infantry of the army of Bavaria, as it is called, 13 regiments from the Tyrol. and five regiments which bad been sent in waggons from Italy : altogether S 2 regiments of Infantry, and 15 regiments of Ca valry. General Mack intended to escape with his army, but the Emperor destroyed a bridge, and took the position of Elelingen. Marshal Soul' took Memmingen, and followed the other columns. Prince Mu , '.it pursued Prince F.rdin , nd, and took 3000 pris.iners at Lange'', of the divisinn of Werneek. It appears that Prince Ferdinand will not he able tia escape, unless Ay concealing his person, and itialag of with a few squadrons, by a debar. On the 15th, Marshal Bernadotte having puAied his advanced posts as far as Wasserbnurg and Haag, on the high road of B-annau. took tour or five hui - dred prisoners, and seventeen pieces of cannon ; hav ing thus taken, since his entry at Munich, fifteen hun dred prisoners, nineteen pieces of cannon. two hun dred horses, and a quantity of baggage. nassnoat the loss of a man. 0.1 the Isth, the Emper-r was in possession of Memmingen, and, on the of Ulm.

The Emperor took his station. from two o'clock in the aiternoon to seven in the evening. on the heights near Ulm, where the Austrian army marched past him. Tne French army were posted on the heigots. The Emperor, sarronadrd by his Life Guards, sent Gar the Austrian Generals. and kept them with him until their troops had filed el. Ile treated them with the utmost distinc• tioc lhere were present, tusides the Ceneral-in 7.hief Mack. eight Generals, and seven Lieuteaant- Generals. The number of the prisoners, since t'•te congnence ment of hostilities, amounts to 60,000, and 80 standards have been taken, besides artillery, bag g tge, kc. It is supposed, that the Emperor, after iispatehing his couriers, will set out this evening for ‘iigsloirih and Munich. The Bulletin then proceeds to give the Articles of Capitulation, concluded at erotaltiogen, on the lath of Onober, for the Aitstrian troops, under the command of Gen. Werneck, between him and Belli ad ; and also those of the Capitulation of the Escort of the Austrian Heavy Baggage, corn. mantled by Major Locatelli, concluded between that Officer and the French Brigadier•Genei al Fauconnet, on the 18th, at Bottingen. The Aus trians who surrendered at both the above places, are to be seat prisoners into the interior of France. NINTH }SULU:IIN. The principal passages in this Bulletin are as fol low : His Majesty set off for Augsburgh at noon this day. We are now in possession of an accurate list of the army which was shut up in Ulm. It consisted of 33,000 men, to which number the 3,000 wounded being added, the total amounts to ;6,000. There were also found in the place GO pieces of artillery, and .50 stand of colours. The Emperor has had occasion to complain of nothing except the excessive ardour of the soldiers. Tht 17th light infantry, for example, which arrived before Ulm, during the capitulation, rushed into the [slice in such a manner, and the whole army were so anxious to storm it, that the Emperor was obliged to declare it as his positive intention, that the place should not be stormed. The first column of the prisoners at Ulm has just begun its march for France. The following is a statement of the total of the prisoners, with their present situation : —lO,OOO at Augshurgh, 35,000 at Ulm, 1?,000 at Donanwerth, and 12,00) already on their march for France. The Emperor addressed the Austrian Generals. whom he sent for, as their army were filing past him, in the following terms : —" Gentlemen, Your Master carries on an unjust war. I tell you plainly, I know not for what I am fighting ; I know not what can be required of rne. It is not in this army alone that my resources consist, though i were this the east-, I should still be able to make head with it ; but I shall appeal to the testi.nony of your own prisoners of war, who will spee lily pass through France ; they will observe, with emir own eyes, de spirt %inch aoimates my people, and with what cages aess they Auck to my standards. Ili; is the prero gative of my nation, and my condition. At a single word, 200,000 Volunteers crowd to my standard, and, in six neeks, become good soldiers ; whereas your recruits only m.trch from compulsion, and do not becom , good soldiers but after several years. " I would give my brother the Emperor of Ger many one further piece of advice—let him hasten to make peace. This is the crisis when he must re collea, all States must have an end. The idet of the approaching extintlion of the dynasty of Lor raine, must impress him with terror ! " I desire noising upon the Continent. I welt Ships, Colonies, and Cons wrce ; and it is AS mash your in.erest as mine that I should have them." M. Mack replied, .4 th ti the i:rnpersir of Ger many had not wished fir war, hut was compelled to it by Russia." " that le the rave," said the Emperor, then vii are so lo"zer a Pulver." tsf.,st of the Generals have confessed how dis agreeable this war seas to them, and how much they were affefted to see a Russian army in their :win try. They rejeded a blini system of politics, which would hriog into th• centre of Europe a people accustomed to I;re in an un:ultivated coun try, and in the fieid, and which, as well as its fore. fathers, might take a fancy to settle is a milder climate. The Emperor has treated Lieutenant-General Monett (whom he knew as Commander of the regi ment of Wurmwr) with much civility; as also the Lieutenants-General Ginlay, Gettercheim, Ries, and the Prince of Lichtenstein, comforting them in their misfortunes, and telling them, that war has its chances, and that they, who had fre quently been ccnquerors, might be conquered for once. •" --_, It 44i1L,C. OCT. 20. We have just received intelligence from an au thentic source, that Mai-skit Massena has pissed the Adige at Verona, on the 18th of Odoher, de feated the Austrians, and taken 2.100 prisoners (independent of the killed And wounded), pieces of canna, and 18 caissans. We are informed that the French Armies of Re serve begin to extend themselves more to the North ward, and thus to approach the frontier of th i: Ba ta vian Republic. THE BRITISH PRES:i. LONDON, MONDAY, Vo•cm g , a 4. We have received Paris Pa secs to the 2 - .1 , , an d Dutch Papers to the 30th last. The Alo,roolo, contain the official accounts of military opet.ci,,ns in Germany, to the 2t st. They even etceed the predietions of the gloomiest imagination, and an nounce the twat annihilation of the Austrian army, tinder Prince rennin* no. 1 . 1. s A:lifting intel ligence is contained in the 6th, 7th, nth, and yth Floc clear, given in our preceding columns. Al ter the capture of Landsberg, on the 12th, by the division under Marshal Sou iv, he dire Red his march for Memmingen, where he arrived early on the morning of the 13th, with intent to turn the rig!,t wing of the Austrian army. Meantime, t ". burg having surrendered on the 10th, p,. Mon at had placed himself on the 1 - dth, witn t reserve of the cavalry, in front of the Austrian hes, with the corps f Marshal Nsv direetly opposite, its left wing at Ulm, and that of Marshal Lcosts at Weissvinbourgh. On the 13th, the French appear to have commenced a grand attack upon the whole of the Austrian Lae, but particu larly its right at Memmingen, and i:s left At Ulm. On the I.sth, SOUL? succeeded in his obje 3, and took possession of Memmingen ; while the left wing continued to m iintain hs position at thin, with great gaiiatit•y. The rigout wing, however, being defeated, Pounce Fiat:m.4*min ap pears to have alenipted to make his escape intn Franconia, and was IMISII?d by Prince Istwtst, who made three thousand poisoners at Linen. —Here MUR AT appears to have divided lois Neer. leaving Mar,hal Lasses to continue the pursuit by Aalen, while he proceeded more to the East, by Nordlingen, with the view to intercept Prince Ft,. /4 API D, sloould lie endeavour to gain the Austrian tertitory. Here he surrounded the division of Ge net Al Wtastex, who capitulated, with seven other Generals. It appears that nothing but the hope of obtaining the possession of the person of Prince Ft's ° INA ND, could justify farther putluit, as the force that fled with him was reduced, on the 18th, to a few followers. Soot?, after the capture of Mem m;ngen, on the 15th, followed the other columns, and the remnant of the Austrian army, south of the Danube, was forced into Ulm which now became completely invested on all sides. The force shut up in that city, consisted of 36,000 risen, including 3,000 wounded, under the command of Lientenant-General Msctc. Having thus pent up the Austrian force in Ulm, Bo'ssrsere, who had advanci-d from his position at Augsburgb, and direeled in person the operations against Ulm, took precautioas to prevent its escape, and to intercept all succour. Marshal Sout.r's division was posted be tween Ulm and Bregentz, to watch all attempts of relief from the side of the l'yrul. Entrenchments had been previously tin own op on the B inks of the Lech, and occupied by Fre•hh detachm•nsts, which had been posited even so far ai Fuessen ; and Bet ts e, advancing from Munic:s, had, on the h, pushed his out-posts as far as Wasserbourg, ins the Inn, and Haag, on the high road to Brannan. Thus reduced, and cut off from all succour, General Maca entered into a capi tulation, which was signed on the 1 7th.'— It stipulated for the surrender of the place, with all the magazines and artillery, to the French army, aid that the Att'trian army should march out with all the honours of war—the officers to be scat into Austria, and the subalterns and seldie:s into France, until regularly exchanged. But the most extraordinary part of this agr.:emeat %vas, A conditional clause, according to which, the.° sti pulations were not to be carried into efiva, until the night of the 23th, and the Aiietriln army were to be at liberty, should the blockade be raised in the interval, by a Russian er Aunt ian army, to march oat and join their deliverers. The .d rib Rutethe admits, that the place was capable of opposing a formidable resistance, as well from the force of the garrison. as the natural advantages of the situation, and the strength of the fortifications. The conditional chino , for postponing the surrender until the 23th,inclio'v an interval of eight complete days, was groulide.: no doubt upon the estimate that the place could nut possibly hold out for a longer time. But if Moot flattered himself that he had secured any chance of safety by this condition, he grossly deceived self. Tire same folly and imbecility that had hitherto guided his sword, guided his pen. when he signed the capitulation. On the 19th, Msce had an audience of BOK AP AR rt at Echlingen, when he agteed to wave the benefit of the conditional clause I it postponing the surrender until the 23. h, and undertaking that the Austrian garrison must evacuate Ulm on the 20t1s, the very next day. Mace must have been a mailman, or an iJeor, if he thought that Boa s . PAII re would in dt.•etly for eight days, watch Ai
