PHILADELPHIA, July 4.
By the arrival of the Fair American, from Dunkirk, in 54 days, we have received Paris papers to the 5th May. A foreign gentleman was kind enough to favor us with the perusal of his files, from which we made such translations, as we deemed worthy of being known, and calculated to give correct views of the political state of Europe.
M. Dashkoff, the Russian charge d'affaires, and his suite, have arrived in the Fair American, and will proceed for the seat of government in a few days. [Aurora.]
FIRST BULLETIN.
Head-Quarters, Ratisbon, April 24, 1809.
The Austrian army passed the Inn on the 9th April, by which act hostilities were commenced, and Austria has declared an implacable war against France and her allies, of the Rhenish confederation.
The following were the positions at the same period, of the French and allied corps.
The corps of the duke of Auerstadt, (Davoust,) at Ratisbon.
The corps of the duke of Rivoli (Massena,) at Ulm.
The corps of general Oudinot, at Augsburg.
The head quarters general at Strasburg.
The three Bavarian divisions under the orders of the duke of Dantzic, (Lefebvre,) were thus posted—the first under the command of the prince royal at Munich; the second under general Deroi at Landshut; the third under general Wrede at Straubing.
The division of Wurtemberg at Heydenheim.
The Saxon troops encamped in the neighborhood of Dresden.
The corps of the dutchy of Warsaw, commanded by prince Poniatowsky, at Warsaw.
On the 10th April, the Austrian forces invested Passau, where there was a battalion of Bavarians; and at the same time Kuffstein, where there was another Bavarian battalion. These movements were made without firing a musket.
The Austrians published on this day in the Tyrolese country, a proclamation on which accompanies the bulletin.
The court of Bavaria quitted Munich on the same day, and removed to Dilligen.
The Bavarian division which occupied Landshut, (under gen. Deroi,) marched for Altorf, on the left bank of the Iser.
And the division of Wrede, (posted at Straubing,) removed to Neustadt.
The duke of Rivoli, (Massena,) left Ulm for Augsburg.
From the 10th to the 16th, the enemy's army advanced from the Inn upon the Iser. Their cavalry had several skirmishes with the Bavarian troops, in which the latter had the advantage.
On the 16th at Pfaffenhoifen, the second and third regiments of Bavarian light cavalry, defeated the Austrian hussars of Stipschitz, and the dragoons of Rosenberg.
At the same moment the enemy appeared in force on their march for Landshut, the bridge of which was broken down, and the Bavarian division of Deroi, made a lively resistance to this movement; but menaced by more numerous columns, he passed the Iser at Moorsburg, and at Freybing, & retreated with his division in good order and joined that of general Wrede; the Bavarian troops were now concentrated at Neustadt.
The emperor left Paris on the 13th of April. He had been informed by the telegraph on the evening of the 12th of the passage of the Inn by the Austrian army, and a few moments after left Paris. He arrived on the 16th, at 3 o'clock in the morning at Louisbourg, and the same day reached Dilligen, where he visited the king of Bavaria, & remained with that prince half an hour; when he promised to restore him to his capital within 15 days, and avenge the new insult given to the house of Bavaria, by the authors of all the evils which has befallen that house.
On the 17th, at 2 o'clock in the morn-
ing the emperor arrived at Donawerth, where he established his head quarters, and issued the orders necessary for the campaign.
On the 18th, the head quarters were removed to Ingolstadt.
On the 19th general Oudinot marched from Augsburg, and at break of day arrived at Pfaffenhoifen, where he fell in with a body of 3 or 4,000 Austrians, whom he attacked and put to flight, making 300 of them prisoners.
The duke of Rivoli (Massena) with his corps d'armee arrived the next day at Pfaffenhoifen.
The same day the duke of Auerstadt (Davoust) left Ratisbon, to support Neustadt, and keep the communication with Ingolstadt.—It was soon evident that the design of the emperor was to attract the attention of the enemy & draw them from the defiles of Landshut, and attack them at the same moment, intending by this first stroke to accomplish his march upon Ratisbon.
BATTLE OF TANN—APRIL 19.
On the 19th, at break of day, the duke of Auerstadt (Davoust) commenced his march in two columns. The divisions of Morand and Gudin composed his right; the divisions of St. Hilaire and Friand composed his left.—The division of St. Hilaire arrived at the village of Peissing, where he encountered a body of the enemy more numerous, but less valorous than themselves; and thus opened the campaign by an action glorious to our arms. General St. Hilaire, supported by Friand, overthrew all before him, and carrying all the positions of the enemy, killing a great number of men, and taking 6 or 700 prisoners. The 72d of the line distinguished itself in this march, and the 57th sustained its reputation. It is sixteen years since this regiment obtained in Italy, the surname of the terrible, and it has well justified its reputation in this action, having, by its own attacks alone, defeated six Austrian regiments in succession.
On the left, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, gen. Morand, at the head of his corps, also attacked another Austrian division, while the duke of Dantzic (Lefebvre,) with a corps of Bavarians, marched from Abensburg to take them in the rear; this division soon drove them out of their positions, leaving behind upwards of 100 killed and prisoners. The entire regiment of dragoons of Levenher, were routed by the Bavarian light cavalry, and their colonel killed. At the close of the day the corps of the duke of Dantzic (Lefebvre) formed a junction with that of the duke of Auerstadt (Davoust.)
In all these actions the generals St. Hilaire and Friand eminently distinguished themselves.
The unfortunate troops of Austria, who were marched from Vienna, with songs of triumph and martial music, & taught to believe that there was no French army in Germany, and that they would have to contend with Bavarians and Württembergers only, have exhibited all the resentment against their leaders which such a deception was calculated to excite, & in consequence of that deception their terror was the greater at the sight of those veteran troops, in whom they had been accustomed to recognize their superiors in war.
In all the actions our loss was very inconsiderable compared with that of the enemy, who besides lost many officers, no generals, who were compelled to expose themselves in front to induce their troops to advance.—The prince of Lichtenstein, general Lusignan, and several others, were unarmored; and the loss of the Austrians, in colonels and officers of inferior grade is very considerable.
BATTLE OF ABENSBURG—APRIL 20.
The emperor determined to beat and destroy the corps of the archduke Louis, and that of general Hiller consisting altogether of about 60,000 men. On the 20th his majesty departed for Abensburg; he gave orders to the duke of Auerstadt (Davoust,) to divert and engage the attention of the corps under Hohenzollern, Rosenberg, & Lichtenstein, whilst with the division of Morand and Gudin, the Bavarians & Württembergers attacked in front the army under the archduke Louis and general Hiller, and the duke of Rivoli (Massena,) passing at Freybing in the
rear of the Austrian army, cut off the communications between them. The divisions of Morand and Gudin, formed the left and manoeuvred under the orders of the duke of Montebello, (Lannes.) The emperor decided that, on this occasion he would fight at the head of the Bavarians and Württembergers: he formed a circle of the officers of the army and harangued them for a long time: The prince royal of Bavaria, repeated in the German language the address of the emperor. His majesty desired them to be sensible of the confidence he reposed in them: he reminded the Bavarian officers, that the Austrians had ever been their enemies; that it was their independence they wished to overturn; that for above two hundred years the Bavarian standards had been unfurled against the house of Austria; but that he had now rendered them so powerful, that thenceforward they might resist it, singly and successively.
He reminded the Württembergers of the victories over the Austrians, when they formed a part of the Prussian army, and of their recent success in the campaign of Silesia.—He told them all, that the moment was now arrived, when they must conquer, and carry the war into the Austrian territory.
The discourse was repeated, at the head of all the companies, by their captains, and the different dispositions made by the emperor produced all the consequences that might have been expected. The emperor then gave the signal for action, and regulated the manoeuvres according to the particular character of the troops.—General Wrede, a Bavarian officer, of great merit, placed in front of the bridge of Siegenberg, attacked an Austrian division which was opposed to him. General Vandamme, who commanded the Württembergers, extended his line on the right flank. The duke of Dantzic, (Lefebvre,) with the divisions of the prince royal and gen. Deroi, marched for the village of Renhausen, to arrive at the great road from Abensburg to Landshut.—The duke of Montebello, (Lannes,) with two French divisions, forced the left flank, overturned everything that opposed him, and reached Rohr and Rothenburg. On every point the commander was sustained with success. The enemy, disconcerted by these dispositions, maintained the action but for an hour and sounded the retreat. Eight standards, 12 pieces of cannon, & 18,000 men, were the fruits of this action, which cost us little or nothing.
COMBAT AND CAPTURE OF LANDSHUT, April 21.
The battle of Abensburg having exposed the flank of the Austrian army, and all its magazines, on the 21st at day break, the emperor marched for Landshut. The Duke of Istria, (Bessieres,) fell upon and dispersed the enemy's cavalry, in the plain before that city. The general of division, Montion, advanced by accelerated pace to the bridge, the grenadiers of the seventeenth forming the head of the column; the bridge being of wood, was set on fire, but it did not interrupt the brave infantry, who passed it and penetrated into the city. The enemy, driven from their position, were then attacked by the duke of Rivoli, (Massena) who defied by the right bank, Landshut fell into our hands, and with it we took 30 pieces of cannon, 9000 prisoners, 600 field caissons with horses and filled with ammunition, 3000 baggage carts, three superb bridge equipments, in short the whole of the hospitals and stores which the Austrians had begun to form and collect. The couriers, the aids-de-camp of the general in chief, prince Charles, the sick and wounded, arriving at Landshut, were very much surprised to find an enemy there, and experienced the same fate.
BATTLE OF ECKMUHL—APRIL 22.
Whilst the battle of Abensburg and the combat of Landshut, were producing such important consequences, prince Charles was joined by the Bohemian corps under general Kollowrath, and obtained at Ratisbon a trifling success. About a thousand men of the 65th who had been left to guard the bridge at Ratisbon, received no orders to retire. They were perceived by the Austrian army, and the brave fellows, after having expended every one of their cartridges, were compelled
to surrender. This event was sensibly felt by the emperor, and he swore that within twenty-four hours, Austrian blood should flow in Ratisbon to avenge the affront given to his arms.
At the same time, the dukes of Auerstadt and Dantzic, (Davoust and Lefebvre,) kept in check the corps of Rosenberg, Hohenzollern, and Lichtenstein. There was no time to be lost. On the 22d, in the morning, the emperor marched from Landshut, with the two divisions of the duke of Montebello, (Lannes) the corps of the duke of Rivoli, (Massena) the divisions of cuirassiers of Nansouty and St. Sulpice, and the Wurtemberg division. At two o'clock he arrived opposite Eckmuhl, where the corps of the Austrian army, forming 110,000 men, were posted under the archduke Charles. The duke of Montebello attacked the enemy on the left with the division of Gudin. At the first signal, the dukes of Auerstadt and Dantzic, and the division of light cavalry of general Montbrun, moved forward in order of battle.
Then was seen the most superb spectacle which war can present—110,000 of the enemy attacked on every point, overturned on their left, and successively driven from their posts in every position. The detail of military events would be too long; it is sufficient to say they were put to the rout. The enemy has lost the greater part of their cannon and a great number of prisoners. The 10th regiment of the light infantry of the division of St. Hilaire covered itself with glory in attacking the enemy. And the Austrians being driven from the wood which covers Ratisbon, were driven into the plains, and cut to pieces by the cavalry. The senator, general of division, Demount, had a horse killed under him. The Austrian cavalry, strong and numerous, presented it self to protect the retreat of its infantry. The division of St. Sulpice on the right, and the division of Nansouty on the left, attacked them. The line of hussars and cuirassiers of the enemy were put to flight—More than three hundred Austrian cuirassiers were made prisoners. Night came on. Our cuirassiers continued their march to Ratisbon. The division of Nansouty met a column of the enemy which fled, charged it, and made it prisoner. It was composed of three Hungarian battalions of 1500 men.
The division of St. Sulpice charged another detachment in which the archduke Charles narrowly escaped being taken. He owed his safety only to swiftness of his horse. In the battle of Eckmuhl there was but one-half of the French troops engaged. The enemy's army continued to defile all night by degrees, taking the most frightful roads. All their wounded, the greatest part of their artillery, fifteen pair of colors, and 20,000 prisoners, have fallen into our hands. The cuirassiers have, according to custom, covered themselves with glory.
COMBAT AND TAKING OF RATISBON, April 23.
At the dawn of day, we advanced to Ratisbon, the advanced guard formed by the division of Gudin, and the cuirassiers of the divisions of Nansouty and St. Sulpice. We were not long before we saw the enemy's cavalry, which endeavored to cover the city. Three different attacks were made, and all were to our advantage. Sword in hand we put to flight 8000 of the enemy's cavalry, who precipitately passed the Danube. In the mean time our sharpshooters went towards the city. By a most preposterous arrangement, the Austrian general had placed six regiments to be sacrificed without reason. The city is surrounded by a bad ditch and a worse counter-scarp. The artillery arrived. We began to batter with pieces of 12. We soon knew that by means of a ladder we could descend the ditch and afterwards mount a breach we had made in the wall.
The duke of Montebello (Lannes) caused a battalion to enter this breach, which gained a postern, and from thence to the city. All that resisted were put to the sword. The number of prisoners exceeded 8000. In consequence of their bad arrangements, the enemy had not time to cut down their bridge, and the French passed

mixed with the Austrians, to the left side. This unfortunate city, which they had the barbarity to expose, has suffered greatly. It was on fire part of the night, but by the assiduity of gen. Morand and his division, it was extinguished.
Thus at the battle of Abensberg, the emperor beat separately the two corps of the archduke Lewis and general Hiller. At the battle of Landshut, he took possession of the centre of the communications of the enemy, and of the general depot of their magazines and artillery. Finally at the battle of Eckmuhl, the four corps of Hohenzollern, Kosenberg, Kollowrath, and Lichtenstein, were defeated and put to the rout. The corps of general Bellegarde arrived the morning after the battle: he could only be a witness to the taking of Ratisbon, when he fled to Bohemia.
The first information of the military operations which have opened the campaign in so brilliant a manner, will be followed by a detail of all the deeds in arms, which have rendered illustrious the French and allied armies.
In all our combats, our loss has not exceeded 1200 killed and 4000 wounded. The general of division, Clevoni, was struck by a cannon ball, and fell dead upon the field of battle of Eckmuhl. He was an officer of merit and had distinguished himself in our first campaigns. At the combat of Peising, general Hervo, chief of the staff major of the Duke of Auerstadt, was likewise killed. The Duke of Auerstadt regrets very much this officer, whose valor, intelligence and activity he esteemed. The general of brigade, Clement, commandant of a brigade of cuirassiers of the division of St. Sulpi, had his arm shot off. He is an officer of courage and distinguished merit. General Schram has been wounded. The colonel of the 14th chasseur has been killed in an attack. In general our loss of officers has been inconsiderable. The 1000 men of the 65th, which had been made prisoners, have been for the most part retaken. It is impossible to show more valor and more good will, than is shown by our troops.
At the battle of Eckmuhl, the corps of the duke of Rivoli (Massena) not having been able to join, the marshal remained constantly near the emperor, and carried the orders for the execution of different manoeuvres. At the assault of Ratisbon, the duke of Montebello, (Lannes) who had designated the place of passage, caused the ladders to be carried by his aids-de-camp. The prince of Neufchatel, (Berthier) in order to encourage the troops, and to give, at the same time, a proof of confidence to the allies, several times accompanied the van guard with the Bavarian regiments.
The duke of Auerstadt (Davoust) has given, in these different affairs, new proofs of the intrepidity which characterize him.
The duke of Rovigo, (Savary) with as much earnestness as intrepidity, frequently traverse the enemy's legions in front, in order to make known to the different columns the intentions of the emperor.
Of 220,000 men which composed the Austrian army, all were engaged except the 20,000 under general Bellegarde. In the French army, on the contrary, nearly one half did not fire a musket. The enemy, astonished at the rapidity of our movements, have found themselves deprived of their foolish hope, and are transported from a delirium of presumption into approaching despair.
SECOND BULLETIN.
Head quarters Muhlendorf, April 27. On the 22d of April, the day after the battle of Landshut, the emperor left that city for Ratisbon, and fought the battle of Eckmuhl. At the same time he sent the marshal duke of Istria (Bessieres) with the Bavarian division under the command of general De Wrede, and the division of Molitor, to fall upon the Inn, and to follow the corps of the Austrian army, which were beaten at the battles of Abensberg & Landshut.
The marshal duke of Istria arrived at Wilsburg and Neumark and found an equipage of pontoon bridges erected, more than 400 wagons large caissons with equipage, and took in his march from 15 to 1800 prisoners. The Austrian corps met the other side of Neumark, a corps of reserve, which arrived upon the Inn. They rallied, and upon the 23d they gave battle at Neumark to the Bavarians. Notwithstanding their great inferiority, the Bavarians maintained their position.
On the 24th, the emperor ordered the corps of the marshal duke of Rivoli (Massena) from Ratisbon to Straubing, and from thence to Passau, where he arrived the 29th. The duke of Rivoli commanded a division of the Po to pass the Inn, which made 300 prisoners, raised the blockade of the citadel, and occupied Scharding.
On the 25th, the marshal duke of Montebello (Lannes) received orders to march with his corps from Ratisbon to Muhlendorf. On the 27th, he passed the Inn and came to Salca.
The 27th, the emperor is at his head quarters at Muhlendorf. The Austrian division commanded by gen. Jellachich, which occupied Munich, is followed by the corps of the duke of Dantzig (Lefebvre).
The king of Bavaria has shown himself at Munich. He afterwards went to Augsburg where he will remain some days, waiting to re-establish his residence at Munich, and till Bavaria should be entirely freed from the enemy.
On the side of Ratisbon the duke of Auerstadt (Davoust) has gone in pursuit of the archduke Charles, whose communications with the Inn and Vienna being cut off, he has no other resource but to retire into the mountains of Bohemia, by Waldenchen and Cham.
As for the emperor of Austria, it appears that he was before Passau, having taken upon himself the siege of that place with three battalions from Landwerth.
All Bavaria and the Palatinate are freed from the presence of the enemy's armies.
At Ratisbon the emperor reviewed several corps, and had presented to him the bravest soldiers, on whom he bestowed distinctions and pensions, and to the bravest officers he gave baronies and lands. He especially signified his satisfaction with the divisions of St. Hilaire and Frant.
Until now, the emperor had made the war almost without his equipage, and it has been observed that in the actions of his guard he has been always surrounded by the allied Bavarian and Wirttemberg troops, wishing by so doing, to give them a particular proof of his confidence.
Yesterday arrived at Landshut a party of chasseurs and grenadiers of the guard on horseback. A regiment of fusileers & a battalion of chasseur on foot. In eight days time all the guard will be arrived.
A report was current that the emperor had his leg broken. The fact is, a spent ball had grazed the heel of his boot, but had not touched his skin. Never was his majesty in the midst of the greatest dangers in better health.
It is remarked as a singular thing, that one of the first Austrian officers made prisoners in this war, is found to be the aid-de-camp of the archduke Charles, sent to Mr. Otto to deliver the famous letter saying that the French army were compelled to retreat.
The inhabitants of Ratisbon, having behaved well, and shown a patriotic and confederate spirit, which we have to expect from them, his majesty has ordained that the damages which they had sustained, should be made up to them at his expense; and particularly the restoration of the houses which had been burnt, the expense of which will amount to several millions.
All the sovereigns and all the countries of the confederation, evince the most patriotic spirit. When the minister of Austria at Dresden, delivered the declaration of his court to the king of Saxony, that prince could not contain his indignation. "Do you wish war," said the king, "and against whom? You attack and insult him, who, three years since, master of your fate, restored to you your states. The propositions which have been made to me, afflict me. My engagements are known to all Europe. No prince of the confederation will separate himself from it."
The grand duke of Wurttemberg, brother of the emperor of Austria, has shown the same sentiments, and declared that if the Austrians advance to his states, he would retire if it was requisite to the other side of the Rhine. Thus the injuries of the court of Vienna are generally appreciated. The regiments of the petty princes, and all the allied troops, anxiously demand to march against the enemy.
By the declarations of the French emperor, concerning Bavaria, it is evidently his determination to augment the territory and power of Bavaria, and place that monarchy in a position so formidable, as to form a potent barrier to the confederation of the Rhine; very probably the Danube will be the boundary of Bavaria on the east, and a new kingdom may be constituted out of part of lower Austria, Carinthia, Carniola, and Styria, with Dalmatia and Istria; it is very probable that Bohemia, Moravia, Polish Galicia, and Austrian Silesia, will be taken from the infatuated house of Lorraine, and if Francis be permitted to retain the kingdom of Hungary, it will be wholly owing to the policy, clemency, or magnanimity of the conqueror. Very possibly Poland may be resuscitated, and Saxony remunerated for the duchy of Warsaw in Bohemia, Moravia, or Silesia; or the kingdom of Westphalia united with Holland; and Jerome placed on the throne of Bohemia and Moravia.
The emperor of Russia had required the assemblage of a congress at Yassy, in Moldavia, to whom he has declared his determination to retain under his authority the countries bordering on the left of the Danube, which had been so long the source of quarrels with the Turks. The minister of the Porte at Yassy opposed the occupation, and set off for Constantinople, but a powerful Russian force had already come in aid of the determination.
The conscription in the duchy of Warsaw only amounted to 9000 men; in this conscription the Jews were obliged to furnish their proportion in common with other sects.
The three divisions of the Saxo-Polish army, were under the command of prince Poniatowski, generals Dombrowski, and Zagenzeck; they were to march to the frontier of Austrian Poland, called Galicia. This army has a powerful artillery.
After the battle of Ratisbon, the archduke Charles is said to have fled with his staff into Bohemia, devolving the command of what could be collected of the army on the prince Rosenberg.
The Austrian paper war weapons are described in the Rhenish journals the productions of Grentz, a well known writer in the cause of coalitions; of Stein, & of another named Schlegel—there are three of this name, writers who should not be confounded; one is a writer on the law of nations, and not the person in question; there is another whose name is William Schlegel, a writer on Belles Lettres, author of a comparison of the Phebus of Racine with that of Euripides, neither is this the
political pander of the Austrian court; but it is his brother, who is named Frederick Schlegel, he is the author of many writings published to favor the cause of Austria; & of many sons of the same character.
The canal of the north is proceeding to its completion with the greatest activity; the second section of this canal which unites the Mus and the Rhine, passing by Nuss, and emptying itself at Venice, is three parts completed, the fourth part will unite the Rhine with the Nethle, and is 14,400 metres (three leagues) long.
The reserve of the grand army at Ratisbon was commanded by general Oudinot, the divisions were those of Gens. Thureau, Boudet, and Claparede, and the cuirassiers commanded by gen. count Espagn.
Before the action of the 21st April, the emperor Napoleon arranged the Bavarian troops, to this effect—Remember that "it is to be the last war with which you will be troubled by the house of Austria."
The prince of Bavaria so much distinguished himself in the action of the 20th, that the emperor embraced him on the field of battle.
The flight of the Austrians after the battle of the 20th April was beyond imagination; they presented themselves in many instances at the advanced posts of the French and Bavarian troops, in bands of 3, 4, and 500 men, throwing down their arms and knapsacks, and begged for food. The forest and roads are crowded with these miserable victims of a perfidious cabinet.
The king of Wirttemberg has been put in possession of the Austrian principality of Mergentheim, and its union has been proclaimed.
The French emperor, it would seem, means to remain a considerable time in Germany, as not only the civil officers of government but those of the domestic establishment, have proceeded to the army.
The archduke John of Austria commanded the troops destined to invade Italy; general Chasteler and general Wiesewohl, those in the Tyrolese.
The French emperor is stated in one of the papers to have declared that the emperor of Austria shall cease to reign.
We learn that there was no notice taken of American affairs in France, except among our own people. Gen. Armstrong was at Paris, and meant to remain.
The address of the emperor of 17th April, from Donaustern, is annexed to the 1st Bulletin, and the address or order of the day of the 24th April, of which the following is a translation.
ORDER OF THE DAY.
Soldiers—You have fulfilled my expectations: you have supplied the want of numbers by your valor; you have gloriously displayed the difference between the soldiers of Cesar and the rabble of Xerxes.
In a few days we have triumphed in three battles, that of Tann, of Abensberg, and of Eckmuhl; and in the combats of Peising, Landshut, and Ratisbon. One hundred pieces of cannon, forty standards, fifty thousand prisoners, three military equipages, 3 thousand draft carriages with baggage, all the chests of the enemy's regiments; behold the result of the rapidity of your marches and your courage.
The enemy, governed by an infatuated and perfidious cabinet, seem to have forgotten that you exist; but you have appeared before them, and you have appeared to them more terrible than ever.
It is not long since they crossed the Inn and invaded the territory of our allies; it is not long since they meditated to carry the war into the bosom of our country; but to day, overwhelmed and panic stricken, they fly in disorder; already my advanced guard has passed the Inn; before one month we shall be at Vienna.
Imperial Head Quarters, Ratisbon, 24th April, 1809.
By the Emperor, ALEXANDER, the Prince of Neufchatel (Berthier) Major General.
PARIS, MAY 5.
Messrs. the vicar general of Paris went to the palace of his serene highness the prince arch chancellor of the empire (Cambacérès) for the purpose of concerting with him to put in execution the orders of his majesty the emperor relative to the prayers to be celebrated for the victories of Tann, Eckmuhl, and Ratisbon. It has been determined the Deum shall be sung at the metropolitan church in two days.
ULM, APRIL 29.
A Wirttemberg aid-de-camp has brought to his sovereign the news, that the French advanced guard was yesterday morning at Voglbruch upon the Austrian territory.
AUGSBURG, APRIL 26.
We are informed that the French troops have entered Passau, and that fort Ouerbach has fallen, after a vigorous assault, into the hands of the Bavarians.
VICENZA, APRIL 22.
The viceroy of Italy has divided his army into three corps. The first commanded by gen. Macdonald, the second by gen. Grenier, and the third by gen. Barragay d'Hilliers. The head quarters general are at this place. Gens. d'Hilliers and Fontanelle occupy the country of Trent. All the positions of the Adige are occupied by troops and depots, and extend to the Brenta.
The emperor Napoleon arrived at Landshut on the 26th April, accompanied by the prince of Neufchatel (Berthier) and the dukes of Rovigo and Friuli (Duroc and Savary) and the military intendant Darru; he immediately on his arrival reviewed the 16th regiment of chasseurs a cheval.
The French entered Voglbruch in Austria, on the 24th April.
The inhabitants of the Voralburg, whose country was along with Tyrol ceded to Bavaria by the treaty of Presburg, have sent a deputation to Bavaria signifying that they were not to be seduced from their fidelity to Bavaria.
At Munich when the French entered that city, 3,000 Austrian fugitives were taken without any officers, they had fled from the battle of Ratisbon.
The duke of Ragusa (Marmont) is invested with the command of the whole of Dalmatia and the Italian Albania, and the
whole military force and the strong places are put in the best state for military service. Genl. Clauzel has the command of Cattaro.
The French army at Ratisbon, was commanded on the right by Massena duke of Rivoli, the centre by Lefebvre duke of Danzig, and the left by Davoust duke of Auerstadt: the emperor commanded. Berthier chief of the staff, Savary and Duroc his aids.
The minister of state, Maret, passed thro' Carlsruhe on the 23d April, to be near the emperor.
The Count Champagny, minister of Foreign Affairs, also passed for the head quarters of the grand army.
WARSAW, APRIL 17.
The archduke Ferdinand, has commenced hostilities on our parties. Gen. St. Julien (well known for his mission to Paris) holds an important station under this Austrian General.
The plan of the Austrian campaign appears to have been calculated as a war of placards; on no occasion has there been a greater force of the press employed; and they appear to have expected to carry on the war by libels instead of arms. In Tyrol the people were told that they were to have an Austrian government in that country, in three weeks; in Italy in five weeks; in Poland the archduke Ferdinand in public orders asserted that 12,000 Russians had joined him: these public orders appearing at Vienna, the Russian charge des affaires complained of the falsehood, to count Stadion, who treated it as a matter of indifference.
A corps of observation of 6,000 men has been directed to form a cordon on the frontiers of Switzerland, to preserve the peace of the country pending the war.
The cavalry of the French grand army, is commanded by Bessiers, duke of Istria.
The Portuguese legion, consisting of cavalry, in the French army, reached Ulm on the 18th April, and partook of the actions which took place in the following week.
STRASBURG, APRIL 27.
During some days past several couriers have arrived from the army, with dispatches to her majesty the empress, giving information of the success of our arms, which becomes more and more important. The army of the archduke Charles is destroyed. All the artillery, the military chest, the baggage, and several thousand baggage-wagons, are taken. The number of prisoners are immense. They have fought each day since the 19th, and have always been beaten. Our cavalry, of which the duke of Istria has taken the command, pursues the weak remains of the Austrian army towards the Inn. The superb division of cuirassiers, under the command of gen. count Espagn, has rendered singular services.
Yesterday about noon, a courier extraordinary arrived, with dispatches, announcing a new victory. They assure us, that the corps of the archduke John, who had invaded Tyrol, was cut off, and compelled to lay down their arms. We wait with impatience the details of this happy circumstance.
As official news arrive here, they are transmitted by extraordinary couriers to Spain, Holland and Italy.
All the details we have, prove that the defeat of the archduke Charles is complete. They write from Augsburg, that the prisoners arrive there by thousands. We do not know positively, where the archduke Charles has retreated to. Many of the Austrian regiments threw away their arms to speed their flight.
It is confirmed that the prince of Lichtenstein, one of the greatest partizans of the war, is grievously wounded—some say mortally.
BAYONNE, APRIL 24.
His excellency the duke of Treviso, (Mortier) has arrived at Burgos. He comes from the other side of the province of Asturias, where it is said the ferry bishop of St. Andero is hidden.
A battalion of Bados arrived the day before yesterday in our city. It departs tomorrow for Spain. The organization of the national guards in the provinces of Biscay, Alava, and Navarre, operate with activity by the care of Don Francisco Almoros, intendant general.

BROAD CLOTHS.
Table with 2 columns: Pieces, Yards. Rows: Milled this year, Last year, Increase, Total increase in yards.
The increase of 628,827 yards in broad cloths ought to be particularly remarked to those who are not acquainted with the minutiae of the manufacture, as being at least in a double proportion to the decrease in the narrow. And it thus appears, notwithstanding all the prohibitory decrees of the enemy from without, and the anxious efforts of the enemy at home, to represent us as a "sinking country," that our Manufactures have, during the last year, increased in the aggregate 6,581 yards!
But there is another consideration worth the notice of our readers: In March, 1808, the stock of cloth on hand was very great. The very reverse is now the case; and instead of lamentations we find cause for exultation, that under the forced and untenable restrictions against our export trade, during the last 12 months, more
woolens have been manufactured, and considerably more sold, than in the last of the preceding year. (London paper.)

BRITISH FINANCES.
The following financial intelligence, we understand, is supported by official documents:—
The surplus of Ways and means this year (beyond the estimate) three quarters, ending the 5th January, was £2,747,831 18 10
Surplus on the Lotteries, which was estimated at 300,000 for 60,000 tickets, (40,000 tickets having exceeded that estimate) will be about 165,000 3 8
£2,912,551 19 10
So that the surplus of the whole year may be taken at least for four millions; besides which, one million and a half raised last year for the East India company will not be wanted this year: making in the whole a reduction of five millions and a half from the sum of nineteen millions raised in various ways last year.
The loan is not expected to be made before the end of April or the beginning of May. The public service is sufficiently provided for until that period. The money in the treasury, after eight millions had been sent to the bank to pay the Christmas dividends, amounted to between 6 and 7 millions.
In a statement made on the 8th of March, it appeared that, on a comparison, of the exports from Great Britain in the year ending October 10th, 1808, with the average of the two preceding years, it stood thus:—From England only, as the accounts from Scotland could not be made up for the broken period.
Table with 2 columns: Exports to the American States, Value. Rows: 1806 and 1807, Do. in 1808, Decrease to the United States, Increase to the other part of America, Loss in 1808, as compared with the two preceding years.
Table with 2 columns: British Goods, Foreign, Total. Rows: To all parts of America, All other parts of the world.
That appeared to be no discouraging state of the trade of the country, considering the non importation law in America; and the very rigorous measures adopted by Bonaparte for excluding the British trade from all the ports on the Continent, under his power or influence; but it is to be observed that though the commercial accounts could not then be made up to a later period than the tenth of October, it was believed that on the conclusion of the year at Christmas, the result would be much more favorable and so it proved.
EXPORTS:
Official value; British manufactures from Great Britain:

This was the greatest ever known except one & very nearly equal to that.    Year ending Jan. 5th.     1807  £ 27,402,080    1808  25,171,000    1809  26,692,000  
The last year to January 5th, 1809, greater than the one preceding, ending 5th of January 1808, by 1,521,000  And greater than the average of 1807 and 1808, by 416,000
This last statement shows not only the extraordinarily flourishing state of the country, but the rapid increase of it, under the most rigorous inflictions of France, and the restrictive measures adopted in the American states, from the comparison of the accounts made up for the year to Michaelmas last, and the one of the 5th January last.
In the year to Michaelmas there was a falling off of the exports from England of British Manufactures, as compared with the average of the two former years to all parts of the world, of £ 6,175,000  In the year to Jan. last, the value of the same exports was greater than the average of the two former years, by £ 1,321,000  Which immense increase must have been the Christmas quarter.
In the export of our Cotton Manufactures the account is still more remarkable.    Year ending Jan. 5th, 1807  9,896,000    1808  9,846,000    1809  12,838,000  
This excess arising principally from new sources of trade having been opened.
And the raw material (cotton wool) coming in such abundance, that the price which six months ago was from 3s. 3d. to 3s. 4d. per lb. is now at 1s. 10d.; and the market dull. It may be had in any quantity from India, and a very large supply from Brazil.
Further great benefits have been derived in the last year, from the employment of British shipping to the Spanish & Portuguese settlements, to our free ports in the West Indies, and to the British colonies on the Continent of America—and, at present, the demand is so great, that ships can hardly be had at any price. £10 a ton is now paying for freight to America, which last year was £6 10s to £7.—The West India islands have suffered little except from the want of slaves, which may be had in the greatest abundance from Canada. The legislature of Jamaica are sensible of this that they are imposing protecting duties in favor of the continental colonies.—Convoys are appointed, and British ships from the colonies will be employed to a great extent. There are great importations of flax seed, from the Mediterranean of a superior quality, and in future large supplies may be had from thence.

THE NEW AUSTRIAN WAR.
In tracing the progress of the French arms in the new war with Austria, it may be agreeable to the reader to be furnished with a brief recapitulation of the leading incidents of the late Austrian campaign, which was terminated by the battle of Austerlitz and the treaty of Presburg.
The war which broke out between France and Austria in the year 1805, was terminated in the course of 70 days. Of all the conquerors of antiquity, Julius Caesar appears to be the general whom Bonaparte most imitates, seeking by the rapidity of his motions and the decisiveness of his battles, to overwhelm the enemy with consternation and dismay. In one respect Napoleon was not so well prepared for hostilities against Austria in 1805 as he is in 1809, for at the beginning of the present campaign he had a considerable number of troops on the Lech and on the Danube; whereas in 1805, the main body of his forces was at Boulogne on the coast of the British channel, in Holland, and in Hanover; these, by rapid marches, and after some fighting, united at Munich, the capital city of Bavaria. The campaign of Austerlitz (as it is called) opened with the battle of Wertingen, which took place on the 8th of Oct. 1805. The principal actions of that war may be thus stated:
1805. Oct. 8. Battle of Wertingen, where prince Murat took an enemy's corps, consisting of 4,000 men, together with cannons and colors.
Oct. 9. Battle of Guntramsdorf, where marshal Ney killed 2,500 Austrians, made 1200 prisoners, and took 6 cannon.
Oct. 11. Battle of Albeck, where general Dupont at the head of 6,000 men, resisted the most desperate efforts of 25,000 Austrians, and made 1500 prisoners.
Oct. 13. Reduction of Memmingen, by marshal Soult, yielding 6000 men, their artillery and baggage, together with military stores.
Oct. 17. Capitulation of Ulm, by which 36,000 men, including 3800 wounded, were made prisoners. At this period Bonaparte proclaimed that of the army of his enemy, consisting of 100,000 men, 60,000 were in his power, together with 200 cannon and 50 colors; that 15,000 Austrians had with difficulty made their escape, and that all this success did not cost him more than 1500 men. He decreed also, that 15 days of the campaign should be computed by the soldiery as one year, and that they should be paid accordingly, that the spoils and tribute of the conquered countries should be proportionably distributed among the armies, and he presented to his senate 40 pair of colors.
Oct. 18. Surrender of general Werneck to prince Murat. Werneck had sallied forth from Ulm with the Austrian prince Ferdinand, thinking to escape to the Bohemian territory. Murat, although two marches in the rear, came up with him successively at Langensam, at Neresheim, and at Nordingen. The archduke saved himself with much difficulty, accompanied by a few horsemen. The fruits of Murat's activity was 16,000 men, 58 cannon,000 horses, besides other advantages.
Oct. 18. Marshal Massena opened the campaign on the side of Italy, passed the Adige, took 1500 men and 7 cannon.
Nov. 8. Battle of Manzenfeld, where the corps of general Meerfeld was nearly destroyed by marshal Davoust, who made 4000 prisoners, with 3 pair of colors.
Nov. 11. Battle of Diersheim, where 4000 Frenchmen, under the command of marshal Mortier, stood their ground for 10 hours against 25 or 30,000 Russians, and during the engagement killed 4000 of the enemy, made 1300 prisoners, and took 4 cannon.
Nov. 13. Entrance of the French into Vienna, where they found more than 2000 cannon and 100,000 muskets.
Nov. 16. Battle of Zuntusdorff, where the marshals Murat, Lasnes, and Soult, attacked the Russian army on its retreat, killing 2000 men and making as many prisoners, besides 12 cannon and 100 wagons.
Nov. 24. Surrender of Villa Franca, with 8000 men, 12 cannon and 6 standards.
Dec. 2. Battle of Austerlitz, wherein 13,000 of the enemy were killed, 30,000 made prisoners, 40 standards and 179 cannon were captured.
This battle terminated the campaign and the war; and on the 26th of Dec. 1805, the treaty of Presburg was entered into. By this treaty the emperor of Austria abjured every kind of opposition to the acts and to the political system of the French emperor, recognizing him as king of Italy, and agreeing to acknowledge whomsoever he should appoint as his successor. The emperor of Austria also acknowledged the union of Piedmont and Genoa, the erection of the principalities of Lucca and Piombino, the independence of the Batavian and Helvetic republics, and the elevation of the Dukes of Bavaria and Württemberg to the kingly dignity. He ceded and abandoned to the emperor of the French the Venetian territory, including Dalmatia, &c. To the king of Bavaria he yielded Burgau, Aichstett, part of Passau, the Tyrol, with Trent & Bolzen, the Voralberg, Hohenems, Konigsegg-Rottenfels, Fetzang, Arggen & Lindau; he was suffered to occupy Augsburg. To the king of Württemberg he ceded 5 cities on the Danube, the upper & lower Hohenberg, M Mellenberg, the prefecture of Altorf (excepting the city of Constance) the cities of Willingen and Brentingen, and in short that part of Brisgau included in the Württemberg possessions, and situated to the east of a line drawn from Schlegelberg to Masbach; he was suffered to occupy the county of Boudorf. To the elector of Baden he gave the remainder of Brisgau, Ortenau, the city of Constance, and the Commandery of Meinau. The emperor of Austria renounced likewise, all title, right or claim over the states and territories in general comprised in the
circles of Bavaria, Franconia, and Suabia. Such were the stipulating concessions of Austria after the ever memorable campaign of Austerlitz. The principal political changes which succeeded the treaty of Presburg were the following:
The kingdom of Naples passed under the French dominion, and was given to Joseph Bonaparte.
Prussia ceded to France the country of Anspach, that of Neufchâtel and Valengin, and that portion of the Duchy of Cleves which remained to her, and incorporated with her possessions the states of the elector of Hanover.
The king of Bavaria ceded to France the duchy of Berg, and received in exchange the country of Anspach.
The Venetian territories were by Bonaparte added to the kingdom of Italy; Murat was created duke of Cleves and Berg; the principality of Guastalla was given to the emperor's sister the princess Pauline, & that of Massa Carrara to the princess Elisa, another of his sisters. He also clothed Berthier, his minister of war, with the sovereignty of the country of Neufchâtel and of Valengin, & at the same time he designated in Italy 22 hereditary duchies, that is to say—
In the Venetian Territory.
  1. Dalmatia.  7. Treviso.    2. Istria.  8. Feltre.    3. Friuli.  9. Bassano.    4. Cadore.  10. Vicenza.    5. Belluno.  11. Padua.    6. Conegliano.  12. Rovigo.  
In the Parmesan States.
3. With the name of these we are not correctly furnished.
In the Kingdom of Naples.
6. Nor have we the precise names of these.
In Massa Carrara.
1. Of which we are not well informed. These duchies are grand fiefs of the French empire, and are destined to reward the services of the chief military and civil officers of Bonaparte's army and government. We have seen that the greater part, if not the whole, of these titles, have been bestowed upon particular favorites already.
These changes took place before the overthrow of the Prussian monarchy. The humiliation of the house of Brandenburg, gave rise to wonderful alterations in the system of European politics. Previous to the dismemberment of Frederick William, in June 1806, Holland was erected into a kingdom, with Louis Bonaparte at its head, the grand pensionary Schimmelpennick retiring upon a handsome provision being made for him by Napoleon.
The war with Prussia commenced on the 8th of October 1805; the results briefly, were these.
The Prussian monarchy was confined within narrower bounds; Dantzic was made a free city; the erection of the duchy of Warsaw out of the Polish territory belonging to Prussia, which was given to the king of Saxony, with the privilege of a military road from Saxony to Warsaw thro' the Prussian Territory. Westphalia was erected into a kingdom, and given to Jerome Bonaparte; the league of the Rhenish confederacy was extended from the Rhine to the Niemen. These arrangements were guaranteed by the treaty of Tilsit, which united the emperors of France and Russia in the closest amity.
The revolutions of Spain and Portugal, and the transfer of king Joseph to the Spanish throne from that of Naples, and the placing Murat at the head of the Neapolitan kingdom, are events of too recent a date to require particular specification. We all know that before the emperor of France had planted his Eagles on the forbs of Lisbon, he was hurried home by the approach of a new Austrian war.
This war commenced on the 9th of April 1809, by the Austrian army, with the archduke Charles at its head, passing the Inn and investing Passau, which is situated at the confluence of the Inn and the Iltz, 135 miles to the westward of Vienna. In another direction Kufstein, in the Tyrol, on the Inn, was also invested, and gen. Tilly, by proclamation invited the Tyroleans to unite with Austria. It will be recollected that the Tyrol was ceded to Bavaria by the treaty of Presburg in 1805.
It appears by the first bulletin that the French and their allies had in the neighborhood of the Austrian movements, tho' at some distance from them, the following corps:
At Ratisbon, on the Danube, the corps of the duke of Auerstadt.
At Ulm, likewise on the Danube, but lower down, the corps of the duke of Rivoli.
At Augsburg, between the Wesdach & Lech, the fine corps of gen. Oudinot. These were all corps of French troops.
The Bavarian contingents, in three divisions, were posted, 1. At Munich, the capital of Bavaria, commanded by the prince royal. 2. At Landshut, on the Iser, under gen. Deroi. 3. At Straubing, on the Danube, under gen. de Vrede.
These three divisions were under the direction of the duke of Dantzic, a very able commander.
The Polish contingents were at Warsaw, those of Württemberg at Heydeheim, and those of Saxony at Dresden.
The Austrians, for the first ten days of the campaign, presented themselves in force in all the country between the Inn and the Iser, from Kufstein to Passau and Landshut. The king of Bavaria was obliged to fly from his capital (Munich) to Dilligen, which is near the Danube, and 17 miles N. E. of Augsburg. It was there that the Emperor Napoleon found him and promised to reconduct him to his capital in 15 days.
The Austrians pressing forward, Gen. Deroi fell back from Landshut to Altorf, on the left side of the Iser. Gen. Vrede abandoned Straubing for Neustadt. The Austrians presenting themselves at Landshut were slightly opposed by Gen. Deroi, who, however, was forced to retire to Neustadt; these movements had a tendency to concentrate the Bavarian divisions. The duke of Rivoli advanced from Ulm to Augsburg, and the duke of Auerstadt from Ratisbon to Neustadt.
Bonaparte set out from Paris on the 13th of April, four days after the Austrian declaration of war. His first head-quarters
were at Strasburg. This is the same point of departure that he took in his Austrian campaign of 1805.
On the 16th he was at Louisburg and Dillingen.
On the 17th he reached Donawert, on the Danube.
On the 18th he was at Ingolstadt.
Bonaparte was now in the midst of his forces, which, by the able dispositions of his marshals, had united and threatened the Austrian left.
The Archduke Charles, not aware it appears, of the intention of the French, pushed on from Landshut to Ratisbon.
The conflict commenced at Pfaffenhausen, (a town of Upper Bavaria,) on the 19th. This place is seated on the Inn, 19 miles N. W. of Ratisbon. Gen. Oudinot and the duke of Rivoli united their divisions at Pfaffenhausen.
On the same day (April 19th) the duke of Auerstadt encountered the Austrians at Tann; and afterwards united his forces with those of the duke of Dantzic. In both these actions the French were victorious.
The battle of Abensberg took place on the 20th April, and terminated in favor of the French.
All these actions appear to have had for their object the turning of the Austrian left, and by that means to get in their rear. To effect this with more facility, the Austrian right was suffered to advance towards Ratisbon with little opposition.
The Württemberg contingent had reached the scene of action on the 20th, as we find them mentioned in the battle of Abensberg. We may also presume that reinforcements of French troops had come up, as we find the name of the duke of Montebello introduced.
On the 21st of April, the French having succeeded in turning the left flank of the Austrians, pressed on Landshut, which they captured after a sharp engagement. The duke of Istria is mentioned in this battle, which is a further proof that the French had received reinforcements.
On the 22d the battle of Eckmühl took place, which brought the main bodies of the French and Austrians together, and laid Ratisbon open to the attack of the former.
On the 23d was fought the battle of Ratisbon, which was captured by the French. On the 24th the French proceeded to Passau, where they arrived on the 26th.
On the 27th the French, in their turn, passed the Inn, and their head quarters were established at Muhlendorf.
Thus, the result appears to be, down to April 27th, that the Austrians for the first ten days of the campaign, advanced into Bavaria as far as Ratisbon. And that for the second ten days of the campaign, the French drove them out of the country again, and re-established the king of Bavaria at Munich.
Boston, July 3.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
We were yesterday politely favored with Halifax papers to the 20th ult. containing London dates to May 10. These papers contain the French official particulars of the battles between the armies of France and Austria, of which our previous intelligence from the North of Europe but the general result.
The accounts are taken from the French official bulletins. They are undoubtedly much exaggerated, as will appear by the following article under the London head of May 10.—but placing them in the most favorable light in which they can possibly be viewed, they must appear highly disastrous.
London, May 10.
It is with the utmost satisfaction that we announce to our readers the arrival of Prince Stenaruburg in town, as ambassador from the court of Vienna. His highness arrived in London about twelve o'clock this day, and immediately had an interview with Mr. Canning. He came through Holland, and after escaping some able danger, was picked up in a fishing boat by one of our citizens. The intelligence which he has brought respecting the operations in Bavaria, we are happy to say, differ most materially from the accounts given in the French bulletins. He says that the losses sustained by the French in the several actions, were quite as great as those of the Austrians, and that as late as the 28th the French were unable to advance, having suffered so severely. His highness is in high spirits, and by no means considers the advantages which the French obtained as decisive of the fate of the campaign.
