at day-break, and continued until nine o'clock. Under
no circumstances has the Neapolitan marine so fully
justified the reputation which it has ever held in the
estimation of naval men. The results, which con-
cern the honour of the nation, are those of the cou-
rage with which it has fought ; according to this re-
port our glory could not be greater ; and English
brig was burnt by the battery of Meliscola, which was
directed by the brave Captain Orsini ; one of their
gun boats was sunk. We have had only one man
killed, and a few wounded ; but among our gun boats
some have been sunk ahngside the enemy's ships,
others have been driven on shcre, buz we hope to be
able ui get them off. Several have returned to port.
In spite of this imposing spectacle of war, of which
all the town was a witness—in spite of the fright of
some timid people—aild in spite of the secret hopes
of some guilty men, who are known—the capital was
never more tranquil than it is at this moment, in
which the enemy displays to our view his menacing
forces, in order to disturb the peace which reigns
amongst us. This internal peace, xvhich we enjoy,
is owing principally to the confidence which the peo-
ple have in .the person of their King. The corps of
volunteers, which augmented but slowly when the
enemy was distant from us, increased beyond mea-
sure upon his approach. Intelligence from the pro-
vinces is equally pleasant ; every where tranquillity
reigns, and the incendiary Proclamations, which the
Anglo-Sicilian army has thrown almost every where
on our coasts, seem for the present to have no other
effect than that of rallying round the throne all the
people of the kingdom.
Oa the 29th, the frigate and the corvette, which
sustained, with so much glory, the attacks of the
enemy, having retired, after the battle, under the
protection of the batteries of Pozvouli and Baja, sur-
rounded on all sides by the English vessels, they would
have had much difficulty in saving themselves in that
position. His Majesty, therefore, gave orders to
these two vessels to effect their retreat to Naples, the
first wiled, at all risks.

M. Baugan, Captain of the frigate, and M. Ca-
raffa, Captain of the corvette, had scarcely received
this order, ere they toec measures for executing it ;
they set sail, and by Algal and daring mancruvres,
deceived the vigilance of the enemy, passed through
the English squadron, and made on, directing their
c;ntrse for Naples. The corvette which was the best
sailer, preceded the frigate, wi.ich followed more
Quietly these two ships were pursued and
overtaken by an English frig:Le, a co: veLte, lti gun-
boats, carrying '2l-pounders, two galliots. and a very
numerous fleet of small vessels. All this armament
vas directed against two vessels only, which, da-
maged in the long combat they had sustained two
days before, mantruvered with some difficulty. At
four o'clock in the afternoon the action comm.nced
off Point Posilipo, and in presence.of the whole tov.-n
of Naples. The enemy's vessels vomited from all
parts with horrible fury a volcano of flames.
Our frigate and corvette slowly pursued their route
towards Naples, figh:ing with skilfulues and cou-
rage. This fight, maintained in the sight of an im-
mense people, interested the national feeling. •
Thus circumstanced, the wind all at once failed.—
Tlle English approached nearer and nearer, and As.

them, and force them to surrender. Va'n efforts !
The Neapolitans fought precisely in the same place
where, ten years before, English perfidy inhumanly
sacrificed the brave Caraeciota.

They fought under the orders of some of the best of
his acres, and under the eyes of a peol:le, who, ga-
tllered together from ail parts, seemed by their wishes
to redouble their force and their courage. They,
above :ill, fought under the e) es of a beloved King,
who, always the first in the middle of danger, was
already upon the Vatteries of the Castle of o,sai, and
prepared to protect their retreat, when th..'y should

TWENTY-FIFTH BULLETIN.

Nirolkersdcrf, July 8.

" The works raised by General Count Bertrand,
and the corps he commands, had, since the beginning
of the month, entirely subdued the Danube. His
Majesty instantly resolved to collect his furces in the
island of Lobau, open upon the Austrian army, and
bring on a general engagement. It was not because
the position of the French army was not a very fine
one at Vienna. Master of the whole right bank of
the Danube, having in his power Austria, and a con_
siderable portion of Hungary, he enjoyed the greatest
plenty. If some difficulties had been experienced in
p-oviding ,:nstenance for the people of Vienna, this
arose from act ill-organized administration, from em-
barrassments witch.liere every day diminishing, and
from difficulties which were naturally prodUced by
the situation in which the country was placed, in a
land in which the trade in corn is an exclusive privi-
lege of the Government. But how could the troops
continue to be separated from the hostile army, by a
canal of three or four hundredtoises in breadth, when
the means of passing over had been prepared and se-
cured ? This would have given credibility to the im-
postures which the. enemy had scattered with so great
profusion throughcitit his own and neighbouring coun-
tries ; this would have cast a doubt Over the occur-
ences at Essling, and would, finally, have authorized
the surpositiota of there being, in fact, a substan-
tial equality betweetf-armies so different, of which
one was animated and in some measure reinforced by
multiplied successes and victories, while the other was
dispirited by the most striking reverses.
,A I 1 the intelligence collected concerning the Aus-
trian army spewed that it was considerable ; thatit
,had been recruited by numerous bodies of reserve, by
the levies from Moravia and Hungary, and by all the
landwehrs (fencibles) of the provinces ; that its
ca-
v had been remounted by requisitions in all the
Circles, and its draughts of artillery tripled by im-
. mmse levies of horses and carriages in Moravia,
Hungary, and Bohemia. To add new chances in
their favour, the Austlian Generals had raised mili-
tary works, of which the right was protected by Gros-
Aspern, and the left by Enzersdorf. The villages of
Aspern, Essling, and Enzersdorf, and the intervals
between them were Covered by redoubts, surrounded
by pallisades and frizet, and defended by more than
130 rieces of battering cannon, taken front the for-
tresses of Bohemia and Moravia.

" It was inconceivable how the Emperor, with
his experience in war, could think of attacking works
.4) powerfully &fended, backed by as army estimat-
ed at '200,000 men, as well troops of the line as mi-
litia and new raised levies, and who were supported
by 800 or 900 pieces of field artillery. It appeared
more simple to throw some fresh bridges over the
Danube, a few leagues lower down, and thus render
useless the field. of battle prepared by the enemy,
But in this latter case it was not thought practicable
to al.'ert the inconveniencies which had alreailYnearly
proved fatal to the army, and succeeded in thecou!se
of two or three days in protecting these new bridges
from the machines of the enemy. • -
" On the other side the Emperor was tranquil.—
Works were raised upon w c:ks in the island of Lo-
bau ; and several bridges on piles, and several rpws
of stocadoes, were Lied at the same place.

and nnwleldy, would be efposed to certain destruc-
tion if he acted on tl e offensive : but, at the same
time, he believed that it was impossible to dislodge
him from the central position in which he covered
Bohemia, Morapa, and a part of Hungary. It is
true that this position did not cover Vienna, and that
the French Were in possession of this capital. But
this possession gas, in a certain degree, disputed, since
the Austrians 'remained masters of one bank of the
Danube, and prevented the arrival of the articles
most indispensable to the subsistence of so great a
city. These were the reasons of hope and fear, and
the subject of conversation in the two armies.
" On the Ist of July, at four o'clock of the morn-
ing, the Emperor removed his head quarters to the
island Loban, which had been already named by the
engineers, the island Napoleon. Pr small island to
which had been given the name of the Duke of Mon-
tebello, and which bore upon Enzersdorf, had been,
furnished with ten mortars and twenty 18-pounders.
Another island, called island Espagne, had been sup-
plied with six pieces of battering cannon (12-poun-
ders), and four mortars. Between these two islands,
a battery had been raised, equal in force to that of
the island Montebello, and in like manner bearing
upon Enzersdorf. These 62 pieces of battering ar-
tillery had the same object, were In two hours to de-
stroy the little town of Enzersdorf, drive away the
enemy, and demolish their works. On the right, the
island Alexander, with four mortars, two ten-poun-
ders, and twelve six-pounders (battering cannon)
were to bear upon the plain and protect the operations
of the bridges.
On the 2d. the • . . . . Aide-de-Camp cf
the Duke de Rivoli passed over to the Mill Island
with 500 voltigenrs, and took possession of it. This
island was also furnished with cannon. It was join-
ed to the Continent on the left side by a small bridge.
In the front a little /eche was raised, and this redoubt
was called Petit.

ig In the evening the redoubts of Essling appeared
to be jealous of these works : not doubting that they
were a first battery, formed to act against themselves.
they fired upon them with great activity. This was
precisely the intention in having wized this island.
The attention of the enemy was to be drawn to this
point, in order to conceal from him the operations
really proposed.

BATTLE OT V,NvEitsnoßr.

a In the mean ve. hile, the enemy, confounded
his projects, gradually recovered from his sastonis..
ment, and endeavoured to regain some advantages
this new field of battle. For this purpose he detack-.1
several cOlamns of infantry, a considerable numb::
of pieces of artillery, and all his cavalry, as well of
the line as the new levies, in or:li.r to attempt to out-
flank the -right of. the French army. In consequence,
he occupied the v'llage of Rutsendorf. The Emperor
ordered General Oudinot to carry this village, to
the right of which he sent the Duke of Auerstadt, in
order to proceed to the head-quarters of Prince
Charles, going always from the right to the left.
From noon ell nine in the eutning, the French
armies manteuvred on this immense plain. All the
villages were occupied, and when the 'French had
reached the heights of the entrenched camps of the
enemy, they fell of •thair own accord, and as if by en..
chantment. The Duke de Rivoli caused them to be
occupied without resistance. It was thus we seized
the works of Essling and. Gros-Aspen), and the labour
of 40 days was of no use to the enemy. He made
some resistance in the village of Raschdorf, which
the Prince de Pente Corvo caused to be attacked and
carried by the Saxons. The enemy was every where
overwhelmed by the superiority of our fire. This ill-
remise field of battle was covered with his remains.
