The entire army, alter hav ing marched thr. sigh Brennau, netting, Kaag, P.irsdott, and A:L..1,A1, are to be encamped on the tlith of Odober, at Dates • moan twin three ieazues west of Menich. reamaroar, OCT. 10. Si: Thousand Austrians, detached from the army of the Tyrol, on the third, peeved at a short dis• tance from the walls of Aegsburgh. They marched with the greatest rapidity towards the Danube. A trop of Russian cannoneer,, with a con siderable train of artillery, arrived on the 6th, at Lemberg ; this corps, after having rested one day io that city, continued its route towards Austria. The Commanders of the columns take the greatest care to maintain the strietest discipline. The Quar ter masters are t bilged every day to give in to the Commanders an authentic certificate of the conutat of his troop, every soldier fearing to deserve a bad report, abstains from all kinds of excesses, usual with soldiers marching through strange countries. M. de Laderer is appointed principal Commissary to precede thew auxiliaries, and to dire& them to the places where they are to oppose the enemy. OCT. 11. Every person is of opinion that the plan of the campaign of the Austrian army soot be made out anew, as it has been entirely deranged by the rapid ity of the operations of the French army. To make head against the present danger, the Austrians have been driven to the utmost extremity, that of almost totally withdrawing their Dolt.. from Tyrol. There remains there scarcely more than eight or ten thousand men. General Mack, whose foicee are every day reload, has sent to demand rew in strations from his Court. M. De La Rochefoucault is still at Vienna. He has several time. demanded his passports to return to France, but they have always been refused to him ; it is not known from what reason. Letters h..m Berlin of the 4th of OCtober, men tion a sudden revolutii,n which broke nut at Saint Peteraburgh. The details given of it are in im,,ort ant, that we think it prudent not to repeat them until we shall have received positive intelligence. ♦uossuacH, OCT. S. General Mack has drawn near 90,000 men from the Erni. to send to Upper Suabia, and particu larly to the borders of the Lake of Constance. In consequence of this order, the body of the army under Generals Jellachich, Hiller, and Annenberg, proceeded to this new destination. The division of General Jellachich is to form a ceps are reserve ; it h.O taken, provisionally, a favourable position in the environs of Bregents. Prince John, brother of the Emperor, has arrived there from Tyrol, but is to remain there only two days ; he is, afterwards, to return to Felckvich,and from thence to Inspruck. STUTOAOD. OCT. it. The Austrian Emperor, at his return from Vienna, held massy Councils, at which the Ambassadors of Russia and England were present. It is said, that the conferences were on a new plan of campaign. as that which was before fixed on could not be followed, on account of the extreme rapidity of the march of the French army of Boulogne, on the Rhine, and its passage of that river. In this state of inquietude and trouble, couriers after couriers were sent. to de sire the Russian Generals to hasten the march of their troops; and to accelerate it, all the carriages in Gallieia and Moravia were put is requisitioa their route, according to this account, is to be by Brunn, Lintz, and Brennan. from whence they are to proceed to the Inn and the borders of the Lech, where they are not expefied until the latter end of Oetober ; but still this is a plan which it may be necessary to abandon. It is not easy to decide, at Vienna, where a juntaion with the Russians can be made. SALE, OCTOBER H. A large body of French troops arrived, within these few days. in the environs of Haltingness. We understand dutt it is commanded by Augereau, Marshal of the Inspire. It is this day to pass the Rhine. on the bridge of boats which has just been formed at Haniagsen, in order to go from thence, by forced mapelses, to the him of Constance. A great assaiier of peasants were put in requisi tion, to work at the re-astablistunent of the bridge at Huninguea. C A TN, OCT. 14. Yesterday (Sunday) the drawing of the Conscrip tion was concluded with all the order and regularity which a l►usiness of that importance required. Our young men are already full of ardour, and the Bul letins of the grand army have still more inflamed their courage. FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS. itoTTUD Am, OcT. 21. Private letters received this morning from the armies state, that the French have taken Ulm, that a grand battle has been fought between the Aus trians and the French, that the former have suffered considerably; that the French have taken 5010 Aus trians ; that is, the garrison of Ulm, all their arms, ammunition, magazines, Etc. The French have a great number of killed and wounded. The Au:- trians have retreated behind the Sm. The Russian. are near at hand. - THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, MONDAY, °crones 2‘. We have received Paris Papers to the 19th, and Dutch Gazettes to the 22d inst. The former contain the 4th and sth Bulletins of the Grand Army in Germany. The 4th Bulletin is dated Augsburgh, the 11th, and gives an account of a battle at Curia burgh on the preceding day, in which the French were vidorious. Gunzburgh was defended by Prince Fagot NAND in person. The place was carried, after en obstinate resistance, and the Austrians made three successive attacks to recover it, but all in vain. The loss of the Austrians in thii affair, is stated at 2,300 killed, and 1,200 made prisoners. The loss of the French, in killed and wounded, is estimated At one tenth, or about 400. The Fifth Bulletin is also from Augsburgh, and dated the 12th instant. It states, that Marshal Soto.? d.feated an Austrian regiment at Landsberg, on the 11th, and took one hundred and twenty prisoners, including one Lieut.-Col. and two Captains. Staticy next proceed. ed towards Memmingen, where he arrived early on the 12th. The Paris Papers boast that these Bulle tins have inflamed the courage of the Conscripts ; and the speech of M. Persuasive, the President of the Bank of Fraace, upon its late stoppage, states, u the most efficacious remedy for this embarrass ment, the confidence which the present viCtories cf the EMPIROIt must produce on the public mind. These Bulletins may, therefore, be considered as the speeches of a recruiting serjeaat, and the stratagems of a government to avoid a national bankruptcy. In a.idition to this general ground of suspicion which attaches to them, they contain internal evidence of misrepresentation. Prince Fs o trr AND, who is repre sented in the fourth Bulletin, at Gunzburgh, on the 10th, Is stated, in the fifth Bulletin, to have been Lt Munich, on the 11th ; a distance of eighty or ninety miles. According to these Bulletins, the French army extended, on the 12th, from the Danube, and along the Lech ; its left at Gunzburgh, its centre at Augsburgh and Landsberg, and its right extend ing to Fuessen ; with SOL:LT', division advanced towards Memmingen, with a view to torn the right of the Austrians. If this statement be correct, the Austrian army, which was concentrated between Ulm and Memmingen, was cut off entirely from the Russians, and, in a great part, from the Tyrol.—The Austrians, however, might still tall back upon the Lake of Constance, where they would be s.pported by severarregiments from the Tyrol. But even here we are not allowed to hope success, as AUGERILAU is said to have passed the Rhine, at Huningto-n, early in the present month, and to be proceeding with his division. by flrced marches, for that quarter. The Paris Papers bring the intelligence, (tom the theatre of war, only to the 12th inclusive ; but the Rotterdam Paper of the 21st, states, on the authority of private letters, that a grand battle had been fought, in which the French sustained con siderable loss, but finally succeded, having taken Ulm, and the whole garrison, amounting to 5,000 men. This statement is strengthened by the arri val of the Prussian gaUiot, Elizabeth, of Embden, late on Wednesday night, at Plymouth, from Morlaix, with the Countess of ELGIN and her suite. When the Eli:adeti sailed from Morlaix, at a very early hour on the 23d, a telegraphic dispatch had been received there from Paris, stating, that Bo AAAAA r e had defeated the Arch duke Faantm•wei, in a pitched battle, between the Danube and the Lech. The loss of the Austrians is said to have amounted to 10,000, killed, wounded, and taken prisoners —the loss of the French is also confessed to have been very great. There had been great rejoicings at Paris in conse quence of the viaory. Bon ar• ere evidently in tended to force the Austrians to battle on the 13th or 14th, and it is possible that news from the army of that date might have been received at Morlaix on the morning of the 23d ; but we think it probable that the account received at that place related to the battle at Gunzburgh. PARNADOTI a is now said to have arrived at Munich on the Itth, and not the 11th, as stated in a former set of Paris papers. The Russians had not come into action on the 12th. The Bank of France has resumed its payments, but on a limited scale. Lord Ila a ROWDY is the Ambassador Extraordi nary appointed to go to Berlin to negociate a subsi diary treaty with the King of Pausst •,as stated in our Paper of Saturday.

On the sea coast sever. 1 towns bad been pillaged and destroyed; all the trading vessels that attempted to go to sea were plundered, and some sunk. The fisheries, by wlcch millions subsist. had been so far ob.trutted, that un less an European squadron be obtained to prevent the depredations daily committed, the inh.,bitants mast become destitute of every requisite necessary. It was said that a European vessel had been procured, and was cruising in the Yellow Sea, to proteft the commerce. The benefits that had ■risen from her appearance in that sea, had induced the Imperial Government to make application for several more vessels, some of which were t detail the fisheries, and the rest were to cruise along the coast of Holman, up to a Gulph !ailed Pe chelee.— It was also reported, that some of His Barr A14:410 MAJISTY'S sloops w.:re expelled from cur I::diaa squadron, to be employed on this service.
