EIGHTH OFFICIAL REPOIItT.

Tranquilizir4 'news has been received from the
sth and Gth corps of the army as well as the 2d. Al,
the three carps stand united near Old Oeling. Tl.c
defile near I.an dsh ut, where several waggons obstruct-
ed the road while the advancing enemy was brave!!
opposed, has rendered the loss of some artillery red
several waggons unavoidable. By official report•
the loss of men is not considerable; only ono
slot' of the Regiment of Benjaysk's Infantry, which
was obliged to pass the bridge of the Iser, already
in flames, suffered severely. These three united
corps will follow the movements of the mail x111;4
under the command of the derteralitshno.

By the most recent accounts the oerieralissitea..4
head-quarters still continued at Eglofbliarn, Oil

corps bad etieded a junBion on :he Ilatisbon rosy
with the 3d and 4th corps of reserve, and a generfl
attack on the enemy was resolved on the lA.
the 22d, at noon, the cannon were rotting violently
in that part, and probably the murderous tight
Continues. The combat is. condeaed with uncom-
mon animosity. Every Man feels the sublime ousts
for which he fights. We have not yet any defini-
tive acconnts. The Erhperor's Court :is at Scheer-
ding. While the main army kept adVanclng song the
Danube, and the corps near Old Oeling, stands reedy
either for offensive operations, or to defend the
ver Inn. His Majesty considering the' 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, Saltzburgi and
that of Inner Austria. The Militia of tipper Auso.
,trig has been under arms since the armies 4#4
vanced, partly on the Inn, and partly to invest tho
fortress of Obuhaus.

SECOND BULLETIN.
fleacLquarters Alt-Vetting, April rs.

Agreeably to the prescribed ,arrangetnenta,
,the
army advanced on the ail, further towards the
Vils and the iser.

The weal her was very bad, bAkt the troops en-
dured a:I the hardships of an uncommonly severe
season, with the greatest cheerfulness.
On the Loth, at half-past ten in the morning,
Field Marshal Damaylca entered Passau. The
enemy retired, but by the rapid advance of our
troops, a French Officer of Engineers, and eight
pioneers were taken. A French General in the up-
per fort escaped with difficulty. Prince Aos END It KG,
Commander of t he tt.ll corps- of the army, summoned
the fort to surrender, but this summons was, in com-
pbance with the custom of war', answered by a re-
fusal. .

The true patriotic Spirit; of the inhabitants of
ratiSail was clearly demonstrated by the joy
.they
displayed on our entering the town. They imme•
diately printed the Proclamation of his Royal High-
ness thekieneralissimo to the German Nation, and
disiribmed 2000 copies to the 'people of the country:
Thus the feeling of the Germao independence re-
and is cherished among them.
