formation. The latest accounts left him, on the
10th, at the ancient Abbey of Moelk, within 40
miles of that city. Some think that he would not
ventwe further, lest the Russians, who had
withdrawn to Krems, beyond the Danube,
should fall upon his flank or his rear. We
are not of that opinion. BONAPARTE would
run a great risk for the glory of entering the
capital of Austria as a c,nqueror ; the consumma-
tion of that threat, which he uttered at the com-
mencement of the campaign, in the confidence of
his strength, and the plenitude of his vanity. But
in marching from Moelk to Vienna, he does not
appear to have had any risk to run. He then
felt himself strong enough to detach a great part
of Ilk force to the south, to cut off the retreat of the
Archduke CHAR LEs from Italy, and place him be-
tween two fires. The report of the death of that
gallant Prince, as given in the French papers,
would deserve little notice, were it not for the deli-
eacy of his constitution, and the hardships to which it
riras exposed. The fifth Bulletin of the Army of
Italy, dated the sth of November, states, that the
French had pursued the Austrians to Vicenza, nn
the Brenta; that they had entered Padua on that
day, and were to occupy Bassano •n the 6:h.
—Contributions had been levied both on Verona
and Padua-400,000 livree on the former, and
1,000,000 on the latter. Venice had been evacuat-
ed by the Austrians, but it was supposed that it had
bAn occupied by the Russians.
A gentleman, who arrived in town on Wednes-
\lay, from Vienna, states, that in his journey, he
passed through the French army before Ulm. He
says, that place was lost in consequence of Mace.'s
negleet to occupy a height, which completely cum-
L.arided it, and from which it might be entirely
alistroyed by the French in a very short time. The
common people were so much exasperated against
that General, that his escort was double . on his
jau.ney to Vienns, where he was considered a trai-
t, r. The Austrians were full of loyalty and patriot-
iirn. It was a common phrase with them, that
even though Vienna were to be taken, they should
still have sanguine hopes. They relied much upon
the assistance of Prussia. The French suffered great
loss in their pursuit of Prince FERDINAND. It is

supposed, that if Micc bad adopted the same reso-
lution, the result might have proved fatal to the
enemy. Our informant did not hear of Lord Nes-
sou's ♦ictory until lie landed on Tuesday last.
