AUSTRIAN OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.

L Belton at Wertingen. the Bth Odobes, ander the command of
the Field fVfarlhal Baron Auffenberg.
46 On the evening of the 7th Otiober, Field Mafhal
Lieutenant Baron AUFFENSFRG was detached from

Guntzburgh to Wertingen, with fix battalions of gre-
nadiers, three battalions of fufileers, two (squadrons
of cuiraffiers, of the Duke Albert's regiment, and
two fquadrons of light horfe of Latour, to fruarate
the enemy's intentions, who had paired the Danube
near Donauwerth. On the following day, in the
forenoon, the enemy made feveral motions, which
feemed to threaten our divilion at Wertingen, and
made us fufpee that they were advancing to attack
the fame with a confiderable force. As they develop-
ed themfelves more and more, and efpecially by the
march of Come Rrong columns towards Zunimerf-
haufen, and to the road of Guntzburgh, their inten
tions became more and more evident : at laR the

battalions of infantry, which Rood at Wertingen, at
a great diftance from the army, were attacked with
the greaten impetnofity by a more numerous cavalry
of the enemy ; and notwithftanding the gallantry
hewn by the repeated exertions of our two divifions of
cavalry, to fupport the infantry, they were too weak
to withfland fuck a force. The lots on our tide was
one officer and one hundred men killed, twelie offi-
cers and two hundred and twenty-one men wounded,

and fifty-two officen and one thoufand four hundred
and fixty-nine men taken prifoners. The battalions
of Spork and Archduke Lewis grenadiers have fut.
fered the molt ; three Rand of colours, fix pieces of
cannon, and feveral caiffons, have alto fallen into the
hands of the enemy. The Field Martha) Lieutenant
ALIMIIIMO was miffed the neat day, and is fup-
poled to be taken prifoner."

S. Aedon of Guntzburgh, the sith of Odober, between the lm
pedal and Royal Army, and the 6th French army, under the
command of Martha' Ney.
" On the Bth of Oittober, a divifion of the Impe.
rial and Royal Army advanced from Ulm to Guntz-.
burgh, to alembic in that quarter the regiments
which were Rill abfent, and arriving from their can-
tonments ; and afterwards, if circumftances ibould
be favourable, to proceed again to the right bank of
the Danube, and march againft the enemy, if they
fhould attempt to pafs that river. On the 9th the
army encamped near Guntzburgh, leaning its right'
upon the village of Simlach, and the left upon Rei-
ferfburgh. The bridges on the Danube were occu-
pied as far as Leipheim ; the Auftrian General d'Ao-
vase was polled alto upon the left bank of the Da-
nube, with a corps of light troops, to fend out Come
picquets, and to get intelligence relative to the ene-
my. No fooner was the camp of Guntzburgh form-
ed, but the corps under General d'Aseass was corn-
pelled to retreat to the other fide of the Danube, with
fame loft, and the Paid General himfelf became mif-
fing on the oecafion. Thereupon the enemy, under
the command of Marfhal Nay, advanced with a con-
fiderable force to the bridges of the Danube, at-
tempted to pafs over them, and to drive our troops
from the bank. During the whole afternoon their
exertions were fruitlefs ; but, towards the evening, a
ftrong column of the enemy fucceeded in overpower-
ing the bridge of the highway near Guntzburgh, and
entered that town. The divifion of Blankenftein
Ihulars charged this dote column with much bravery,
but as the latter had already reached in part the ad-
joining wood, the divifion was obliged to retreat.—
' Thus, when night came on, the enemy remained mai:
ter of the right bank, near Guntzburgh. All fur-
-1 titer attacks, and the pelage of the river were given
up, and our troops retreated to Ulm, daring the night
from the 9th to the loth. Our lois in killed cannot
yet be Rated, as the regiments have not yet had time
to fend in their lifts. About Soo wounded have re-
mained behind in the hofpitals at Guntzburgh, and
near boo men have been taken prifoners by the ene-
my. They have alfo taken one piece of cannon of
the regiment of Spork Infantry."
3. Adtion near Ulm, the z zth Odober, between the Imperial and
Royal Army, and the 6th divifioa of the French Army under
the command of Marfhal
" On the lith of OCtober, at noon, the right wing
of the Imperial and Royal Army, before Ulm, was
attacked with great impetuofity by the French army
of ohfervation under Marfhal NFY. The French in-
tended to take Ulm by a coup de main, under cover
of that attack. Our right wing repelled all the at-
tacks of the enemy with the greaten perfeverance and
courage. At the fame time the Field Marfhal Lieu-
tenant Mace caufcd a confiderable part of our left
wing to advance, and fucceeded in turning the right
wing of the enemy, of which two regiments of ca-
valry, and two regiments of infantry, were almoft
entirely cut to pieces. The enemy retreated in the
;remelt diforder, and drept down the Danube, leav-
ing about t Soo killed behind them on the field of
battle. We have taken from Bto goo prifoners, t
pieces of cannon, and zo cailons, with a number of
other waggons, and a deal of baggage; amongit the
latter was that of General DUPONT.r The Field-
Marfhal Lieutenants Prince Sc meaty z ens Ben,Count
KLINAU, and Count GIULAY, the cuiraffier regi.
menu of the Archduke Azaerr, and of Mace, and
the regiments of light horfe of LATOVI, have par-
ticularly diftinguithed themfelves : all the other Ge-
nerals and Officers, as well as all the other troops,
have (hewn the atmon perfeverance and fteadinefs,
with the greatell altivity and courage. Our lots
hardly amounts to a few hundreds. The altion, and
the purfuic of the enemy, failed till a late hour in the
night."
Virnn*, OCT. 23.—One of ony Generals, who
maintained a fecret correfpondence with the enemy,
intended to }boot himfelf on being difcovered ; but
was arreited, and all his papers feized.
The Emperor returned hither from Freiburg on
the 19th init.
The Hungarian states have generally and unani-
moufly come to the refolution of fupporting the
Emperor of Auftria and King of Hungary with all
poffible vigour, during the continuance of this war ;
to which end the Hungarian regiments are to be fuc-
ceffively completed, as long as the war fails. Further,

HAGUE. Nov. B.—We hear pofitively, that the
French have obtained a fignal vie:tory over the com-
bined Ruffian and Auftrian armies on the Inn.—Ba

'avian Udell yournal.
The following is an extra& of a private letter from
Berlin ;.." The viltories of the French teem to have
_ _

produced a fudden change in the politics of this Court,,
which was on the point of declaring war againft the
French. The Emperor of Ruffla; although difpleafed
with the dilpoiltiuns made by Auftria with relpeit to
its army, and the rapid capitulation of the Imperia-
lids, neverthelefs employed his belt efforts at Berlin
to prevail on our Court to join the Allies, but without
fuccefs, fo that he is gone back to Peterftsuro in
difguft ; and it is alto added, that he will recal his
armies from Germany, Co as he (hall have viunter-
manded the march of his army at Stralfund. Baron

VON HAM:IMMO has been clifpatched on a miffion,
and fucceeded in the Mintftry by itsuowt rz, who is
of the French party."—lier.
Whilli this paper (Batavia,: State Gaxeite, of the
Bth), was in the profs, we received Franckfott
ligence to the 3d of November.
According to intelligence from Wurtzburgh, of the
318 of Odlober, the French had paired the Inn in fe.
veral places, and the Ruffian General Ku ru sow had
retreated to Wels—to approach, by this retrograde
movement, nearer to the troops of his own nation, and
to the Auftrian reinforcements, which are coming up.
The Eletior of Bavaria arrived at Munich on the
29th of Odober, from Wurtzburgh.
Marfhal Ntyleft Ulm on the 26th, tak;ng tl e road
of Landfberg. The corps under General Wvi-EsKtn
has !hewn itfelf in the environs of Leutkirch.

LEYDEN, Nor. 7.—According to the laft letters
from Berlin, a Grand Council of State was held there
on the 29;11 of 06tober, the refult of which had not
tranfpired, the deliberations of the Prnffian Cabinet
being conllantly covered with a veil of fecrecy, as
well as the march of her troops, as much as poffible.
Hitherto nothing is known of the tendency thereof.
except that a great part of the Pruflian armies will
be affembled in Lower Saxony, in Franconia, and in
Weliphalia.
Concerning that part of the Prullian monarchy,
adjoining our Republic, we have accounts from Min-
tier and Bentheim, which all concur in firing, that
Pruffia is forming a line of feparation from the Ems
to the Rhine, and that the, different detachments
which are to form the fame, are already on their
snatch. The laid accounts furmife, that the French
Government was not unacquainted with this arrange-
ment, as the Officer commanding a detachment of
French Confcripts, who were on their march to Ha-
nover, but fent back by the Pruinans, who will not
admit any more foldiers, has faid, on his return from
Oldenzaal, that he had orders, as loon as the faid line
was formed, to retreat to Zutphen.
It is, perhaps. to that circumftance, that the com-
pofure is to be afctibed, with which we have in this
country received the intelligence of the landing of
the Ruffians in Pomerania, and their intention of
marching to Hanover; fince Priaa, according to
the aforefaid accounts, will probably prevent it, or
at any rate, hinder their further march into Holland,
in cafe they Mould intend it.
There are alit accounts from Amfterdam, Rating
that it was yetierday and the day before pofitively
alferted there that Pruffia would remain neutral. M.
GORIER, the French Commiffary at Amtlerdam, hal
likewife arm ted, that he has received from the French
Ambaffaclor at the Hague very fatisfaftory accounts
concerning grin:lla.
At Berlin a new Paper has been publifhed, tared
The Telegraph ; but it was fpecdily prohibited. Ile
laid Paper had repeatedly announced great vidories
of the Auftrians, which afterwards proved to be en-
tirely falfe.
P. S. According to intelligence received from the
Hague, a Courier arrived yetlerday at the French
Ambafrador's, with the news that Marfhal Bsawa-
DOTTI had defeated the Ruffians, and taken from
13,000 to 15,000 prifoners, independent of the killed.
It is alfo related, that this intelligence reached Bctlin
jolt as the Emperor of Raffia was fitting down to
dinner with the King of Praia.
Passau, Ocr. 27.—Yefterday at noon all the Ao-
(lrian troops who were here were in motion, and
about three o'clock they marched off with all their
baggage. In the evening they returned, and took
putt in the Innfladt. At the fame time four arches
in each of the bridges over the Danube and the Inn
were broken down. A number of boatmen were
collated to remove to a greater dittance the boats
loaded with falt, of which there were above a hun-
dred at St. Nicholas's.

mand of General Lasassea. Martha' Nay, whole

His Majefty the Emperor, before he took his de-
parture from oar neighbourhood, ordered a conk-
derable fum of money to be applied to the relief of
the unfortunate inhabitants in the vicinity, who have
fuffered In much during the few days that our coor.
try was the theatre of war.

STUTG tan, OCT. 26.—.011 the opening of the laft
meeting of the Provifirinal Affembly, the Elector of
Wuar E Bono gave notice of the motives which have
induced him to determine in favour of France. The
alternative offered him by that country was, either
the hone treatment of his own country, under a
permiflion of an undifturbed departure of the Elec-
toral Family, or the acceptance of an offenfive and
defenfive alliaace. The latter alternative was accept.
ed by the Elector, who had engaged, in confequence
thereof, to provide 8000 auxiliaries, and to procure,
for payment in cafh, fume necefraries in the French
army.
The States, who feem to be reconciled (as well as

ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.-•-•OLIT Colin has
publiffied a Declaration refpeaing its conduit in the
cu fling circumftances. It dates the fidelity and fcru.
pulous exaftnefs with which the Eleftor of Wirtem-
berg had fulfilled his obligations to the Court of Vi-
enna during laft war, and complains, that that Court
had not interfered in its favour in the negotiations
refpeaing the indemnities, and had refufed payment
for the neceffaries fupplicd to the Auftrian troops dur.
ing the war, or any compenfation for the artillery
lent on that occafion. It complains, that intrigues
had been carried on agalnft the Houk of Wirtem.
berg at the lad Diet for Suabia, and that the Aulic
Council of the Empire had decided altogether againft
the Court of Wirtemberg, in the differences relative
to the immediate Nobility of the Empire. The Elec-
toral Court had made many conceffions to the Court
of Vienna, and could not think that its territories
would be made the theatre of a war in which it had
no intereft.
The Elefioral Court had applied to the Conrt of
Berlin., and to the Courts of Baden, Bavaria, Heffe,
and Heffe Dramfladt, to maintain the neutrality of
the Southern Circles of the Empire; to which appli-
cation the Prof:G.ln Cabinet returned a refufal, And
the dillance of the other Cants afunder, prevented
them taking any meafur es on the fubjea. The de-
claration then goes on to detail the conduet of the
Ault riantroops in Bavaria, and the territories of Wir-
tvinberg, as fubjeCts of complaint, till the arrival of
the French Emperor at Conifourg.
The Aullrian Commdary of the Army and Pre-
fident VON Srsia lik RR, has been arrelted here on his
