•--rte.

FIRST BULLETIN.
" Heat! Quarters at Ratisbon, April St 4.
The Austrian army passed the Inn on the 9th
of April ; that was the signal for hostilities ; and
Austria declared an implacable war against France
and her allies, and the Confederation of the Rhine.

" The following were the positions of the French
army and her allies :—The corps of the Duke-
d'Auerstadt, at Ratisbon. The corps of the Duke
of Rivoli at Ulm. The corps of General Oudinot
at Augsburgh. The head quarters at Strasburgh.r-
The three divisions of Bavarians, under the Duke of
Dantzic, were placed as follows :—The first division,
commanded by the 'Prince Royal, at Munich ;*the
second, by General Deroi, at Landshut ;, and the
third, by General De Wrede, at Strasburgh. The
Wurtemburgh division at Heydenheim. The Saxon
troops encamped under the walls of Dresden. The
corps of the Duchy of Warsaw, commanded by Prince
Poniatowsky, in the environs of Warsaw.
" On the 10th the Austrian troops invested Pas-
sau, where they surrounded a battalion of Bavarians,
and at the same time invested Kufftein, where there
iris another battalion of Bavarians; these movements
took place without even a shot being fired.
The Austrians published the subjoined procla-
mation at the Tyrol. The Bavarian Court quitted
Munich for Dillingen. The Bavarian division which
had been at Landshut went to Altorff, on the left
bank of the Iser, The division under the command
of General De Wrede, marched upon Neustadt. The
Duke of Rivoli left Ulm for the environs of Augsburg.
44 From the 10th to the 16th the enemy's army ad-
vanced from the Inn to the Iser ; there were several
skirmishes between parties of the cavalry, in which
die Bavarians were successful.
'O4 On the 16th, at Phaffenhoffen, the 2d and 3d re-
giments of Bavarian light horse completely muted
the hussars of Stipschitz and the Rosenberg dragoons.
At the same time the enemy appeared in large bodies
for the purpose of forming at Landshut ; the bridge
was broken down, and the Bavarian division, com-
manded by General Deroi, vigorously opposed this
movement of the enemy, but being threatened by the
columns which had passelthe Iser at Moorberg and
Freysing, this division retard in good order upon that
of General Wrede, and the Bavarian army took a
central position upon Neustadt." _ _
