FOURTH BULLETIN.
Head-Quarttrilt faunivhat, April 16.
This day the army advanced to the bier. The
fifth corps was in the front and found the bridge at
Landshut broken down. A divi-ion of from six to
8000 Bavarians, under General Deroy, defended
the passage. There remained nothing to be done
but to open a passage by force. The bridge was
accordingly remstablislied under the tire of the
enemy; the fifth corps crossed, and an action fol-
lowed, whictiterminated by the retreat of the Ba-
varians. - On both sides there were some killed and
wonnded, but our loss would have been still less
had it been possible to restrain the ardour of the
troops.
Landshnt is the key of the Iser; we are in pos-
session of a great port of Bavaria.
The Gen. of Cavalry, Count Bellegaole, broke

of the army which had entered the Upper Palatin-
ate by Itusaaupten. Both corps took a position on
the Nah, and their vanguard occupied the heights
of Ilirschuu, in order to autch the road from Bay-
reuth to Arabergh. Here an affair of advanced
posts took place with the divisionol Friunt, which
teas understood to he approaching in nrder to reach
the Oanulii by a rapid march through Ambergh.
The•conserrence of the action was, that this duri..

To-morrow the army moves towards • the Upper
Danube. Hitherto we have fallen in with no
French troops, though in the action of this day
some French officers were taken among the Brea-
Cams.

FIFTH But.t.ETIN.
Itesd-quaitere, at LanMint, April 17.
According to the ..:oiwurring reports of all the
prisoners, as well as the inhabitants at Litodshilt,
the French General Leftylire has collected i,,000
Bavarians from the neighbourhood of Munich Kull
Frcysingen, with the view of stopping the intone
of the Austrian army by Landshut. The approach
to the bridges was extremely difficult. They were
besides broken down, and the enemy's Tirailleurs,
who hal occupied all the houses on the opposite
bank, could only be driven therefrom by cannon
b'•ing brought to bear upon them—each gun on our
aide was mounted under a shower of small shot
from the enemy. In doing this, however, our ar-
tillery displayed the greatest resolution, and in two
hours the whole of the opposite side of the toviPti
was in ruins.

for their adirantaze, and in turning the arms of
our German brethren against their deliverers.—

army on the 19th inst. The Gesicralissinto has made
a forced march from the bier to beyond the Lahar,

loss is considerable; several regiments have lost all

The defile near Landshut, where several Werggellll
obstructed the road, while the advancing enemy
was bravely opposed, has rendered the loss of some
artillery and several waggons unavoidable. By offi-
cial reports, the loss of men is not considerable. only
one division of the regiment of Benjnyak's infantry,
which was obliged to pass the bridge of the Iser,
already iii flames, suffered severely. These three
united corps will fallow the movements of the main
army, under the command of the Geueralissitne.
By the most recent accounts, the Generalissimo's
head-quarters still continued at Eglofsheiin on the
22d; and the enemy in their positions. The second
corps had effected it jnnetion on the Kati bon road
with the 3d and 4th corp., and with the Ist corps of
reserve, and a general attack on the enemy was re-
solved on the e3d. On the nil at noon, the c.antinn

along the Danube. and the corps near Old Oeling,

probability of a corps of the enemy threatening the
frontiers of the hereditary dominions. thought it
proper to order out the militia of Lower Austria,
Saltsburg. and that of Inner Austria. The militia
of Upper Austria has been under arms since the
armies advanced, pertly on the Inn, and partly to
invest the fortress of °herbal's.
