THIRTEENTH.

di They write from the Court or his Majesty the
Emperor, at Strengberg, under the date of the 29th
of April, as follows :
" The engagement which Field Marshal Hiller
save, on the 24th ult. near Neumark, took place
agaia st the French Nl..rslial Bessierei, with three
Trench and one Bavarian division, and was very ob-
itin de and blnody. General Hiller cannot suffici-
ent: y pi-ail the courage and resolution of the troops.
T ie two regiments of infantry, Klebeck and Ducca,
h Lve particularly proved what resolute infantry are
able to do even against cavalry. His Majesty, after
the action, presented Field Marshal Hiller with the
Cross of Commander of the Order of Maria Theresa.
4, The two corps united, under the command of
the said Field Marshal, retreated co:.,vards the Inn on
the 25th of April, with the 2d corps of Reserve. In
consequence of the advice, that the grand army near
Ratisbon had gone on the left bank of the Danube,
they drew up near Alt Oetlhig.
" On the 25th, three corps marched by Briskhausin
and Brannan, to Altheim, to be ready for the de.
fence of the Upper and Lower Inn. Field Marshal
.I.ieutenant Jellachich, is stationed near Rosenheim
and Wassebtag, and keeps up the communication
with Tyrol, as well by intermediate posts, as with the
corps of Field Marshal Lieutenant Hiller.
Cn the 26th in the afternoon the enemy from Passau
repulsed our weak parts on the Inn, at its entTaace
into the Danube. At the same time a detachment
of tht division of Le Grand appeared before Schard-
ing, where the bridge had been removed, planted
artillery, set fire to some houses in the town, and did
not demand the replacing of the bridge, before they
had threatened to reduce the whole place to ashes.—
By the infantry stationed at Scharding, the restora-
tion
of the bridge was prevented till night by dis•
charges of artillery and musketry; but Field-Marshal
Lieutenant Dedovich, who had only a weak detach-
ment
of troops who ha-1 before that blockaded the
fortress of Oberhaus, and three hatalions of Militia
with him, having received advice of the enemy's ad-
vincing from Passau, on the right bank of the Inn,
he was obliged to leave Scharding, anducnt.towards I
Tanfkirchin.

" On the o;th the enemy's patroles approached
near Scharding.The enemy kept the town occupied,
but we have no advice of their being in great num-
bers on this side the Inn. The enemy's advancing
further on the road to Efren'oerg is not apprehended,
as the corps under Field-Marshal Lieutenant Hiller
is advancing; down the Inn. On the 27th the advanced
guard, under Major-General Count Reduky, was in
Obernberg, and went down further towards Schard-
ing. The second corps of reserve vrts near Altheim,
and the rest of the army near Weng, all advancing
in such a manner that a battle was expected.
" Frum the grand army intelligence has been re-
ceived of the 26th April.
" On the 24th the army marched through. Bruck
and Cham without being molested by the enenty.—;
His Imperial Highness the Archduke Generalissimo
took an advantageow, position behim the river Pagen.
Here the gist and second corps of the 'army who had
not at all antlered joined the rest. In this position
his Imperial Hi.gliness intends to let the troops rest
for some days,tipeipg tired by such long conflicts :
be is afterwards to counttsact the enemy's move-

mitts, aid avail himself of such opportunities as may
offer for farther enterprizes. When the reports tame
away, the army had been two days in the camp of
Chain, without any enemies appearing. Money and
amosuoiticort have been sent to Tyrol. Field Marshal:
Chasteder has advanced from Inspruck to Trent,
where it appears from certain advices a small corps
of Frenchmen and Bavarians is hemmed in. The
army in Italy has crossed the Piava, and Field Mar-
sliJ Chastener ;vas making movements from Trent
against Italy.

FOURTEENTH.
," This Bulletin contains advices respecting the
earlier operations of the war, from the 19th to the
25u1 of April, from the head-quarters of the Arch-
duke Charles at Kalzenberg, near Cham, of the 25th
April. This Report, among! other things, says ;
' .0n the 2041, the Archduke Charles advanced to the
convent of Rohr, to prevent the junction of Marshal
Davoust with the three Bavarian divisions. An en-
g.igement took place ; both parties fought with in-
describable obstinacy till night, and the loss was great
on both sides. Both officers and men behaved like
heroes. The Generals wet e always at the head of_
their troops. Field Marshal Lieutenant Prince Ho-
hut zoller n, and General Prince Louis,of Lichtenstein,
in person, seized the colours, and rushed amidst a
murderous fire into the wood ;' night set in, and the
4th corps maintained the field of battle without being
able to gain theheights of Aback. The enemy profited
by this advantage, and effected their junction along
the Danube with the Bavarian arm:.
ft In the battle on the 23d the enemy broke up with
sixteen regiments of car Ary at once, through Schils-E
lii.g, into the plain of tcknitilil. It was not till five
o'clock in the afternoon the enemy succeeded in break-
ing through, and in routing, by their superiority of
number, three of our regiments of light horse, who
had held Out. bravely. His Imperial Highness or-1
daed immediately four regiments of cuirassiers to
hasten to reinforce them ; tut the enemy foll Owed up
their advuntages so suddenly, and in such superior
numbers, that these two were obliged to give way,-anal
pursued as far as Traubling against Ratisbon. The
infantry of the Sd corps were no* forced to quit their
position, as the enemy had already out-winged them.
The passage of the Danube, near Ratisbon, happened
at broad day, on the 14th inst. in. the face of time enemy,
under the protection of our artillery and cavalry, thatl
kept off the enemy's attacks for four.hours. On our,
part, Generals Prince Rolian and Schiller are also'
wounded. We have lust some batteries, their train
and horses having bc'm shot."
