PARIS, OCT. l(.
In the present crisis, the first success which opens
the way to every othe., and prepares for the termi-
nation of the war, at least with Austria, bcfme the
end of the season, has been announced by the dis•

charge of artillery.
If it were not consistent with glory, to be molest,
with vengeance, even to be merciful. and p uticu-
lowly with power, to be generons, we should, on the
present occasion begin to clialint hymns of triumph
throughout the whole empire.
The Empress is expened to pass the winter at
Strasburgh, and several performers are expe&ed
from Paris, to take part in the concerts that are to
be gi►en in the Imperial Palace.
TIIE THIRD BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
ZIJOICISHAUSEK, OCT. 10.

Marshal Soult pursued the Austrian division,

which had taken refuge at Akita, drove it from
thence, and on the 9th, at noon, entered Augsburgh,
with the divisions of Vandamme, St. Hilaire, and
Legrand.
On the 9:h, in the evening, Marshal DAVOUSt,
who crossed the Danube at Neubnrgh, arrived at
Aiebe with his three divisions.
General Jlarmont, with the divisions of Boudet,
Grouchy, and the Batavian division of General Du-
' =mew*, passed the Danube, and took a position
between Akita and Augsburgh.
In fine, the army under Marshal Bernadotte, to.
gether with the Bavarian army, commanded by Ge-
nerals Dcroc and Verde!), took their position at In-
golstadt. The Imperial guard, commanded by
General Bessieres, proceeded to Augsburgh ; as
likewise the division of Cuirassiers, under the com-
mand of General Hautpoult.
Prince Murat, with the disision of Klein and
Beaumont, and the division of carahineurs and cui.
rassiers under General Nansouty, hastened with all
speed to the village of Zusater-nausen, in order to
intercept the toad front Ulm to Augsburg.
Marshal Lannes, with the grenadier division of
Oudi.,ot, and the division of Suchet, took post the
same day M the village of Zosmershatisen.
The Emperor passed in review the dragoons of
Zusmershausen : he ordered to be brought before
him a drogoon, named Marente, of the fah regi-
ment. one of the gallant soldiers who, in the passage
of the Lech, had saved his Captain, who but a few
days before had cashiered hint from his rank. His
Majesty bestowed upon him the E igle of the Legion
of Honour. The soldier then observed, '• I have
only done my duty ; my Captain Jew ailed me on
account of some violation of discipline, but he knows
that I have always proved a good soldier."
The Emperor nest expressed his satisfaCtion to
the dragoons. of the condud they had displayed at
the battle of Wertingen. He ordeied each regiment
to present a dragoon, on whom he also bestowed
the Eagle of the Legion of Honour.
His Majesty expressed his satisfaction to the gre-
nadiers of General Oudinot's division, than which
a finer or more enthusiastic corps cannot exist.
Until we are enabled to give a detailed account of
the battle of Wertingen, it may he proper to say
something of it in the present bulletin.
Col. Arrighi, at the head of his Regiment of
Dragoons. charged the Regiment of Cuirassiers of
Duke Albert. The argon was very sharp. Col.
Arrighi had his hntse killed tinder him, and his re-
giment burned with eagerness to rescue him. Co-
lonel Beaumont, of the 10th Hussars, fired with a
true French spirit, seized upon a Captain of Cui-
rassiers, in the middle of the hostile ranks, whom he
himself made a prisoner, after having cut down a
dragoon.

Col. Maupetit, at the head of the 9th Dragoons,
charged M the village of Wertingen ; being mortal-
ly eronnded, his last words were—.` Let the Empe-
ror be informed, that the 9th Dragoons hare shewn
themselves worthy of their reputation ; ar.d that
they charged and conquered, cxclainiirg, Long
live the Emperor !"
That column of Gresadkrs, the flower of the one-
Ara army, havirg formed is a square of four bat-
talions, was penetrated and cut down. The I2th
►attalion of Dragoons charged in the wood.
Oudinot's division was indignant at the distance
which ►till prevented them from attacking the ene-
my ; but at the very sight of them, the Austrians
hastened their retreat—one brigade only was m time
to charge.

All the cannon, ctliturs, almost all the Officers
of the enemy's army, who fought at Wertingen,
were taken : a great number were killed. Two
Lieutenant-Colonels, sit Majors, sixty Officers, 4,000
soldiers hay: Hien into our hands. The remainder
were chspersed ; and what escaped owed their safety
to a mums, which stopped a column that was turn-
ing the enemy.
The chief cf a squadron, Excilmans,
',Camp of Prince Mitr.st, had two horse: killed under

him. It was he who carried the colours to the Ern-
rarer, who sail w Ann, " know no min cm ha

braver than you; I make you an Officer or the Le-
gion of Honour."

Marshal Ney, on his side, with the divisions %Val.
her, Dupont, and Loison, the division of dragoons
of General Bari aguay D'Hilliers, and the division of
Gaza!), ascended the Danube, and attacked the ene-
my in their position at Grumberg.—lt is now five
o'clock, and we hear the fit ing of cannon.
It rains heavily ; but this does not retard the
forced marches of the Grand Army. I'he Emperor
sets the example ; on horseback, night and day, he is
continually in the midst of the troop, and in every
point where his presence is necessary. He yesterday
rode fourteen leagues. Ile slept in a small village,
without servants, and without any kind of baggage.
The Bishop of Augsburgh had, however, illumi-
nated his palace, and waited His Majesty during a
part of the night.

STII4SOUMGH, OCT. 11.

We have. just received the most pleasing intelli-
gence from the Grand Army. The first anions of
oar troops with those of the enemy, have been
yin lriors, which is the earnest of fresh ones.
We every day see troops passing through our city

on the Banks of the Rhine. /),,O!s and detachments
of conscripts are arriving every day.

Bohemia, which, on 4CCnlffit of ttle scarcity of pro-
visions, is unable to maintain so large an army.
