stand, hive receive) accounts, which W.tri.tllt the
conclusion, that 1.71 n) has snrieniered, ant that
General Met; has capitulated with his army ; but

Ulm, wont' e 'ter into a capitulation, with the daily
proved of relief from the approach of the Rus•
siens ; unless, indeed, he were reduced ,to the
Last extremity, for want of provisions ; a case
not possible. from the shortness of the
ACK, being Quarier-Master-General, and oily
second in command to Pi ince Fait Dia tofu, the force
which capitulated under him could not he is has
been stated, the 6' wreck of the whole. army." We
will not, therefore, be suit prised, if it shall or.x•-,
that the force which capitulated at Ulm, under
MACK. did not exceed 8 or 10,009 risen. and that
the main body, ander Prince Female AND, called of
the desponding prints, the wreck of the Austrian

whether into the Upper Pale:rate, or back upon
