BONAPARTE's EATING' INTO VIENNA,

A A 1)
DEATH OF THE ARCHDUKE CHARLES.

The lontexpefted Paris Papers have at length
arrived.—They are to the 42d instant, and contain
an account of the military operations in Germany,
to the 10th inclusive. These are given is a series
of Bulletins of the grand army, consisting of the
16th, 17th, 23th, and 21st ; the 18th and Igh not
having arrived in course. The Paris Papers receiv-
ed on Sunday, the 17th inst left Prince Muar.e,
with his division, at Haag, after having overtaken
the rearguard of the Austrian Army at Ried, and
made 500 prisoners. General Da*MJST'S corps,
following the course of Muaar, had taken a positinn
at a short distance, in his rear. The main force
of the French Army was carried in the same di-
realen, with a view to turn the right of the
Amite-Russian Army. which had fallen back
upon Lints, while its left extended itself to-
wards the Carinthian frostier, for the purpose of
maintaining a communication with the Archduke
CilArLis in his retreat from Italy. From the six-
teenth Bulletin, dated Riad, Nov. 2, it apple" that
the Austrian army, continuing to fall back. Prince
Murat in pursuit of it, entered Lambach on the
31st. The corps of Marshal Snows., arrived at
Wels, and that of Largess, at Lints, on the etaning
of the 2d. A division under Prince Mum/a, joined at
Lintz on the same day, having defeated a Russian
corps, consisting of eight battalions, that advanced to
cover the retreat df the Austrians to Lambach, on the
31st. The teth Bulletin, whiclt is dated the 7th
Nov. stares, that a battle was fought at Amstetten,
in which the Russians were engaged, and the
French took 1,800 prisoners. The Bulletins of the
38th and 19th not having arrived, what passed in
the interval between that and the 2d can only he
matter of conjeaure. This is a very material defed
in the detail. BONAPAITZ conquered at Ulm, by
turning the right of the enemy, and we have al-
ready stated, that in his pursuit of the Austrian army.
he constantly a,ted upon the same system, while
the Austrians as constantly fell back to evade it. For
this purpose, the corps of Mimi.? and Lallots,
joined at Lintz, on the 2d; and, as no mention is
made of a battle there, we may presume, that the
Amtro-Russian army had previously retreated be-
hind the Enna. The passage of this river was sharply
contested; but. whether by a small or a great part
of the Austro-Rassia' a army, we do not know, nor
is the extent of the loss on either side mentioned.
Arnstetten, where the 1000 prisoners were made, is
at a considerable distaste beyond the Sans, upon
the high road to Vienna. In the mean time, Mar-
shal DAVOUST, who bad advanced by Stem, bad
timed the left wing of the Austro.llttsslan army.
and was advancing from Liberfeldt, to Vienna, upon
the bigh road. A part of the Austrian army, un-
der the command of General Maser. ate. r. at-
tempted to interrupt his progress, and to cover that
city. The result was a battle on the Bth of No-
vember, in which the 21st bulletin states, the die
Austrians were defeated with the lose of 0010
pri-
soners, and It; pieces of cannon. On the same
day Prince MURAT had arrived at St. Hyping.
and sent General 811ASTIAllt towards Ifiesns.
The right wing of the Preach army. under General
hi •IttslollT, was at Leebea, Oa the lOtk, probably fee
the purpose of cuttisg elf the esstomieaties via
the army of the Archiske Cases= I mod Imam&
quarters of the Praia army were admired so the
same day to Moelk, on the high road to Vienna.
All the Court, except the Enrages% had quilled
that capital, and the Russian army bed pared the
Danube, and retreated to Krems, on the soothers
side of that river. Such is the substance of the se-
veral Bulletins of the Grand Army, published in the
French Papers. The Paris Papers, however. carry
the intelligence from Germany much lower,and state,
that Boss
AT THIS ILIAD or '22,000 1 1111, AND THAT TR& ARCH-
DUX& CH ARLES HAD 0110 111t011 LZCZIS Or f•TIGUI.
The former part of this statement cannot be corm&
as the 21st Bulletin represents Bomar A art at Moelk
on that day, but if the view of affairs given by the
French Papers approaches to teeth, it is an event that
may be presumed to have taken place about the
12th. Vienna is not a strong place, capable
of defence ; and if, as the French Papers assert, the
Russians had retreated to Kr-ms, and the Austrian
army, under hiccar scot, which attempted to
cover that city, was defeated by Gen. Davousy,
its fall was a matter of course. It was, we believe,
a general npini ,n, that the Ai:um-Russian army,
which was alai:y increasing in its retrograde
movement, woes have made a great stand
to cover Vienna, a . great distance from that city,
if not under its walls. Every previous account had
