On the left, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Gen.
MORAUD, also fell in With an Austrian Division,
which' ha attacked in front while the Duke of
DANTZIC, with a Corps of Bavarians, which bad
marched fan Abensberg, attacked them in the
rear. This`Division was soon driven from all its
positions, and left seVeral' hundreds in killed and
prisoners. The whole Regiment of the Dragoons
of Levenher was destroyed; and its Colonel killed
by the Bavarian light horse. At sun-set, the Divi-
sion of the Duke of DANTZIC formed its junction
with that of the Duke of AUERSTADT. In all these
affairs Gen. ST. HILAIRE and FRIAN? particularly
distinguished themselves. Those unfortunate Aus-
trian trdops who had been led from Vienna with
music and with songs, and under a persuasion that
there was no longer any French Army in Germany,
and that they would only have to deal with Wirtem-
burghers and Bavarians, displayed in the strongest
manner, the resentment they felt against their
Chiefs, for the error into which they had been led ;
and their terror was the greater when they saw those
old bands which they had been accustomed to con-
sider as their master.

In all these battles, our loss was inconsiderable,
compared with that of the enemy, who lost a num-
ber of General Officers and others, Who were
obliged to put themselves forward to give courage
to their troops. The Prince of LICHTENSTEIN,
General LUSIGNAN, and others were wounded.—
The loss of the Austrians in Colonels and Officers
of lower rank, was considerable.

BATTLE OF ABENBERG, ON.THE 2.0114.

The Emperor resolved to beat and destroy the'
Corps of the Archduke Lours and General ICztaLaa,
which amounted to 60,000 men: On the oath, his,
Majesty took post at Abensberg he gave orders to
the Duke of AWERSTADT to keep the Corps of Ho-
henzollern, of [Rosenberg, and Lichtenstein, in
check, while with the two Divisions of Moraud and
Guden, " the Bavarians and the Wirtembtarghers,
he attacked the Army of the Archduke Louts and
General KBLLER in front., and,Caused the commu-
nications of the enemy to be cut off by the Duke of
'tryout, who passed by Freyberg, and from thence
proceeded to the rear of the Austrian army. The
divisions of, Moraud and Guden formed the left, and-
manceuvred under the orders of the Duke of Monte-
bello. The Emperor determined to fight that day
at the head of the Bavarians and Wirtemburghers.
He ordered the Officers of these two armies to form
a circle, and addressed them in a long speech. The
Prince Royal of Bavaria tranilated into German
what he said In French. The Emperor made them
sensible of the confidence which he reposed in them.
He told the Bavarian Officers that the Austrians had
always been their enemies, that they now wished to
destroy their independence; that for more than 200
years, the Bavarian standard had been displayed
against the Austrians. But that this time he would
render them, so powerful that they alone should be
able to contend with the House of Austria. ' He
spoke to the Wirtemburghers of the victories they
had obtained over the House of Austria, when they
served in the Prussian army, and of the advantages
which they had recently obtained from the Cam-
paign in Silesia. He told them all, that the moment
was come for carrying the war into the Austrian
territory. This speech was repeated to the ditliarent
COmpanies by the Captains, which produced an
eft whiph may easily be conceived. The Ernp-
ror.then gave the signal for battle, and planned his
manoeuvres According to the particular charaaer of
the troops. General Wrede, a Bavariin Officer of
great merit, was stationed at Siegenburgh, and at-
ticked an Austrian division, which was opposed to
him. General Vandamme, who commanded the
Wirtemburghers, 'attacked:the enemy on their right
flank. The Duke of Dantzic, with the division of
the Prince► Royal, and that of General Deroy,
• marched towards the Village of Renhausen, in order
to reach the grand road from Abensberg to Landshut.
