and On battalions of the hoe, composing a force of
from 15,000 to t 6,000 ten, and threw himself
within the place.
a The Duke of Montebello sent him an Aidc-dc7
Camp with a summons ; bUt some butchers, and a
few hundred fellows, satellites of the Archdolte
Ma4imilian, rushed upon' the Parliamemaire, and
one of thein wounded him. The Archduke ordered
the wretch who had committed this infamous attion
to be led in triumph through the city, mounted on
the horse of the. French Officer, and surrounded by
the Militia.

" After this unheard of violation of the rights of
nations, the horrid spectacle was seen of one part of
the city drawing upon the other part, and citizen's
direCting their arms against their fellow-citizens.
" General Jindreossy, appointed Governor of the
city, Organised in each suburb a municipality, a
central committee of provisions, and a national
guard, consisting of merchants, manufaCturers, and
the good citizens of every class, armed to repress
proprietors, and evil.disposed persons.
" The Governor-General caused a deputation of
the eight suburbs .to repair to Schonnbrunn. The
Emperor charged them to proceed to the city in
order to carry the annexed letter (No. 3.) written
by Major• General Prince of Neufchatel to the Arch•,
duke, Maximilian. He recommended the deputies
to represent to the Archduke, that if he continued
to fire upon the suburbs, and if a single one of the
inhabitants lost his life through his arms, this aet ot
frenzy, this crime against the people, would for ever
break the bonds which attach subjeas to their So-

‘'creigns.
" The Deputation entered the city on the 1 ith
at ten of thee forenoon, and the arrival was marked
only by the redoubled fire from the ramparts.—
Fifteen inhabitants of the suburbs perished, and only
two Frenchmen were killed.

" The patience of the Emperor was wearied out.
He proceeded with the Duke of Rivoli to the arm of
the Danube which separates the Pratur (the fashion-
able promenade of Vienna), and ordered 2 companies
of Voltigeurs to occupy a small pavilion on the left
bank, in order to cover the raising of a bridge. The
battalion. of grenadiers which defended the passage
was driven back by the Voltigeurs, and by the grapeL
shot of fifteen pieces of artillery: At eight of the
evening the pavilion was occupied,and the materials of
the bridge colleeted. Capt..Portales, Aide-de-Camp
of the Prince of Neufchatel, and - Susaldi, Aid-
de-Camp of Gen. Boudet, were among the first to
Mill} across the river in order to seek the boats on
the opposite shore.
" At nine of the evening a battery oft° °busies,

raised by Generals Bertrand and Navelet, at too fa-
thoms from the place, began the bombardment : 1800
obusses were shot in less than four hours, and soon
the whole appeared to be in flames. One must have
seen Vienna, its houses of eight
,or nine storteS, its
narrow streets, and numerous poeutation within so

narrow a compass, ih order .o, _oral an idea of the
tumult, disorder, and disasters, which such an ope-
ration could not but occasion.

" The Arehdulte Maxhnihan had, at one in the
muting, caused two battalions to march in close

column, in order to attempt retaking the Pavilion.,
,Which covered the raising of the 'bridge. The two
Companies of ,voltigeurs received them-with a dirt-
charge of musketry, which, with the 15 piece; of
artillery from the right side, destroyed a part of .the
column, and forced them to fly,in.great disorder.
" The Archduke lost all Kesencerof mind in ,the
midst of the bombardment, and especially at the mo-
mint when- he heard that we had crossed an arm of
the Danube, and were on the march to cut off his
retreat. As feeble and weak as; he had been rash
and arrogant, he was the first to fly and recross the
bridge. The respeaable General. O'Reilly learnt
only by the flight of the Archduke, that he" Was In-
vested With the cornmand.
" Daybreak on the 126, announced to the ad-
vanced guard that the firing would cease) and that a
deputation was about to be sent to the Emperor.
