His Majesty the- Emperor and King returned, on
the 31st of OEtober, from the journey which he
made to the Austrian and Russian army on the Inn.
Nothing of importance has taken place since the
incidents published in the last Gazette, either with
the Austrian a7my in Italy, or that on the Inn, ex-
cept chat the Bavarian fortress of Oberhaus, opposite
Passau, commanding the Danube, has been taken by
escalade. by a battalion of the Peterwaradin frontier
regiment. under\'oe COMMA1)11 of Major-General
Creneville ; on which occasion, a captain, 4 other
°Ricers, and 120 common men, were made prisoners.
and 6 pieces of cannon, a chest, and all the pro-
visions of the fortress. fell into oar hands. The
French army in Bavaria, which has, for several
days, interrupted the course cf the ports from
Swabia and Franconia, has not yet advanced to the
Austrian frontiers ; but a part of this army appears
to intend to act against the Tyrol. Another corps,
under the command of Prince Murat, is in the Up-
per Palatinate. The government has taken such
measures as may be expelled from its care and
foresight, for the defence of the f antiers.
On the 17th inst. the Archduke John left Inspruck,
2nd set out for the army in Italy.
The recruiting is continued with the utmost ac-
tivity; Vientta and the suburbs furnish 7,300 men.

♦IENNA COURT OAZTTT&, NOV. .1.

to consequence of the Imperial Proclamation, the
public spirit in Austria has heen roused to sucit a
pitch of enthusiasm, that the youths of every class
are thronging to the standards, by which the na-
tional militia has become as formidale body of de.
fence. The same spirit pervades the Hungarian
nation, and the Count tigarte has gone to Prague,
to organise the national militia, and so adopt the
necessary Mt a,ures of defence. In the Tyrol, there
are 20.000 armed militia, and the levy ea modest has
been put in motion.

Ger.eral Wulfskehl sheses himself to be a dexter-
ens partisan and warrior. After the disaster whir h
the Austrian army experienced at I.llm, Marshal
Soule attempted to surround him with his corps at
Biherach, but he fought his way thrvigh, and ar-
rived in safety with his 19,000 men, at Bregentz.
The French General had no sooner retro:rte.!, than
he extended his troops to Stockach, Ravensburg,
and Leutkirch. There were straggling parties, which,
the day before yesterday made their way froril
Lipper Guntzburg, and took several French Officers
at Mindelheim by surprise. He hes with him
some squadrons of the tilankenwein hussars, who
attempt the most desperate enterprises.

" •USTat AN VEIONA, OCT. 20.

Oa the 18th inst. at four in the morning, a
corps of French forced their way over the bridge of
the Adige, at Castel Vecchio, and endeavoured to
cut of the brigades of Generals Vukanovitch and

fiornmariva, from the main body of the army e
the Archduke Charles. The regiments of Hohen-
lohe and Cobourg, however, made such an obstinate
resistance, that the enemy could not make himsel:
master of the works at the gate of St. Giorgio, and
thus Austrian Verona was spared a hostile.visit. In
the evening, the French abandoned the heights of
St. Lorenzo, where they had already begun to for-
tify them .elves. and retreated behind the batteries
of Castel Vecchio. Besides the dead and wound-
ed, they lost 600 prisoners, among whom are se-
veral officers. The Austrians reckon 300 killed and
wounded ; they likewise lost ahont 100 prisoners,
and two pieces of cannon. The battle lasted from
four in the morning till seven at night. The French,
at the same time, passed the Adige at Peseantinn
and Ponto, where they dove back the Austrians.
Yesterday, the 19th, they were, however, obliged
to retreat at both these points; and this day, the 20th,
they have retired beyond the Adige, to their former
position. They have in their possession, only the
space between the gate of St. Giorgio and Castel
Nuovo, which is defended by their batteries.

ULM, OCT. $l.

As the Corps of Marshal Ney has not gone to
Tyrol, but across the I.ech to Bavaria ; Upp^r
Swabia is, in conserpwace, almost clear of French
troops; the corps of Austrian troops, under Gene-
ral Wolfskehl, has again extended itself from the
Vorallserg, over the country, hetwten the Iller and
the Lale of Const ince. On the '271:1, a detachment
was at Biler ; and, the day before yesterday, the
Auittian hussars of Blankenstein were even a, Un
terkirch, tour miles from Ulm. At present, thete
is but a small garrison in this city; a brigade of
Bavarian troops, under the command of General
Von S.ebeln, is, however, on itc march hither.

Great movements are maki.,g among the Prus-
sian troop in Westphalia, whose route is diredtesi

Tae total number of the Prussian forces, made

A corps of Russians and Prussians is expeCted in
the pt.( vii.ce of Oldenhurg. General K.dckreuth
will, it is said, have the chief command of it.

NVIMMIBEItO, NOV. 4.

The Austro.Russian army has quitted it► position
on the Inn, retired behind the Ems, and concentered,
it is said, all its forces in and near Salsbury. his
almst inaccessible position, covered by mountains,
rivers, and lakes,, maintains the communication with
the I yrol, Styria, Carinthia, and, by consequence,
with Italy, turns the wings of the centre of the
French atm), and even threatens the rear, in case it
should penetrate by the Innviertel. or goal ter of the
Inn, into Upper Austria. The principal plan of the
Emperor Napoleon appears to be to prevent the
junftion of this army with that of the Archduke ;
and, if he should not succeed in that, at least to
force that Prince to abandon his position between
the Adige and the Tagliamento, in order to give
greater facility to General Massena to advance.

The centre of the French army, which passed the
Inn, on the 28th of Oaober, took possession of Brau-
nau on the 29th; and the Austrians, who had car-
ried, by assault, the fort of Oberhaus, evacuated it
on the 2tich.

The corps of Marshal Ney did not incline to-
wards the Tyrol, but into Bavaria ; and Upper
Suabia, being, by tiffs movement, entirely freed horn
French troops, the Austiian corps from the Voral-
berg has again extended itself between the Iller and
the Lake of Constance.

The corps of Marshal Augereau appears disposed
to quit the Brisgau, to advance by the Black Forest
;at() Upper Swabia, and to extend its left wing to-
wards Sul: and Alpir-pach.

NAPLES, OCT. $.

. -
A French courier yesterday brought the agreeable
intelligence, that the Emperor Napoleon had ac-
knowledged the neutrality of the kingdom of Na-
pies. Tie French army, under the command of
General St. Cyr, amounting to 28,000 men, will,
in consequence, quit the Neapolitan territory, and
march to join the army of Italy, under the com-
mand of General Massena.

NOV. 9.
The news of a more intimate alliance between
Russia and Prussia having been formed on the 3d
instant, is confirmed with this addition, that it will
be acceded to by the Court of Vienna. Hopes are
entertained, that happy results will attend this con-
neCtion for the re-establishment of peace, and the
interests of humanity. Count Haugwitz, the Prus-
sian Minister, is to ■et of, on the 1 t th, for the
French head quartets, in order, if possible, to ef-
fee a restoration of peace, and to propose an aimed
mediation, under certain conditions. 'fie Treaty
of Lunevihe will, it is said, remain in forte.

TUESDAY, Novivete 19.

The I-lamburgh Msil, due on Sund ty, arrived
yesterday, with letters and papers to the I 3th inst.
They strongly support the propriety of our steady
and uniform resistance to the abjea despondency of
some of our contemporaries, who, upon the mere
authority of French Bulletins, fabricated for the
purpose of delusion. fancied, in their fears, the
Austrian Monarchy extinguised at Um, and
BONAPASTE, despotic Lord of Continent.:l Europe.
ready to pour his thousands of armed slaves into
every creek and corner of these happy isles. Of that
gross misrepresentation, of which many weak, but

well-meaning persons, even in this country, have
been the dua:s, we find some striking instances in
the papers brought by the Hamhurgh Mail. Oer
readers will remember, that the French Papers, in
their account of the capitulation of Ulm, stated,
that a ,rtad/ corer attempted to eff:a its escape by
Biberach, to the Tyrol. Phis small corps now proves
to be a force of 15,000 men, under a brave and enter.
prising Officer, General Wocrseenc, who appears
to have been able to;cut his way through the division
of Marshal Since., and nowoccupies that country, al-
most to the walls of Ulm. Prince FERDINAND, who
was represented as a solitary fugitive, now appears to
have carried off a corps of 17,000 men, with which
he remains on the frontiers of Bohemia, at li-
berty to form a jundion with the gallant Wocvs-
stem. In the French accounts of the operations
in Italy, we find the same exaggeration of the loss
of the Austrians, and suppression of their own.
The attempt of MASSZNA to pass the Adige, on the
IStd, which was represented as a mattrr of course,
pre duced a very sharp aftion, in which the Frelich
had 600 taken prisoners, besides killed and wourd-
ed, and were beaten back, on the 20th, to their ori-
ginal position, on the western side of that river.
Even these circumstances afford ground to presume
that the grand army of France has been pretty
well thinned by the sword before it reached the
banks of the Inn, while the Austrian army, roll-
ing back upon itself, gathers daily strength frt m
its own resources, and the Russian arms. In this
state of things, sse find it able to spread its left
wing towards the frontier of Salzburg, with intent
to keep open the communication with the Arch.
duke CHARLES, who is withdrawirg himself in that
direetion from Italy. While BONAPARTE is thus
remaving further from his ways and means, is every
day more exposed to the difficulties of new and un-
known siruatioas, in an enemy's country, and at a
rigorous season of the year, and while Austria, on-
appalled by the approach of the enemy towards her
capital,is preparing and husbanding her resources for
one great and mighty bi,,w, we have reason to hope
she will prove ultimately ri,fforious. We had
been led indeed, in common with the other Prints,
to conclude, that a step had been taken which
was decisive of the result ; we mean the affita
accession of Prussia to the cause of the Allies.
But, although we may confidently rely upon the
friendly disposition of that Power, we find, from
the Hamburgh Mail, that she has not yet eatially
unsheathed the sword. Count HAVOWITZ has set
out for BONAPARTE'S head-quarters with proposi-
tions for a General Peace In the mean time, the
Prussian Armies are assembling and taking positions
calculated to at with immediate 'fled. These pro-
posals cannot tut embarrass Bo . If he
accede to them, his importance will have received
the severest blow, for it will be seen that he yields
through fear. If he do not accede to them, the
Prussian armies will interpose instantly between him
and his frontier, and he will find it almost ins-
possible to extricate himself from rule.

The expedition under the command of Rear-A,l,
miral Sir SIDNEY SMITH, which has been scpeatedly
represented by some of the papers, as fisnriut eelo,
and returned to the Downs, after having annihilated
the flotilla in Boulogne harbour, was to have sailed,
on Saturday night, from Dover Roads t but, the
wind having set in contrary, all the boats could
not be got out until Sunday morning, about nine
o'clock, when the whole ft )tilla cleared the harbour.
The vessels riding in the Roads, which they joined,
amounted to about 30, including the elptelspe (Rear
