vernor of the place, Majnr General Bruce, having re-
turned two days helot e from the head quarters of the
Emperor of the French, to whom he had been on a
particular million from the Penfionary, paired in re
view his Excellency's guard and the garrifon of the

The Colonel and Major Commandant has again
to announce to the garrifon of this town, a great
number of viElories obtained by the French and ai•
varianF. The Grand Army, after having taken Vi-
enna, and a great part of the Hereditary States, and
[(retched beyond Pretbourg, was ready to invade an
Hungary, when the Emperor of the French, in order
to givethe liimgarians a fplendid proof of his diem),
contented to enter into negociatinns with that nation
and the Archduke Palatine. The triumphs of the
Grand Army have put it in pGlTlffion of almoli all the
artillery which remained to the Au&rian Monarch :
pi the city of alone it fount:l'2c= pieces of ar•
tiller, too,ooo tufils, and ammunition of every kind
in proportion ; to which midi (till be added an im•
menfe quantity of liege and field artillery, taken [ince
the commencement of the prefent war. The Ruffians

after having been entirely 'defeated, and having tot-
tered the greateft lotfes, were forced to delire to ca-
pitulate, although formunded. The joy with which
this official new, mutt again till the garrifon, has in-
duced the Major Commandant to communicate it
immediately to them. (Signed)
