clamation and decrees :
" His Ma'sfly fet off for Augfburg at noon this
day.
ea We are now in the poffeginn of an accurate lift
of the army which was Mut up in I.llm. It contifted
of 33,000 men, to which number the 3000 wounded
being added, the total amounts to 36,030. There
were alias focit.l in the place 6o pieces nf 21ClIery,

m The ' Emperor bed occa(on to . complain of
nothing except the excel:fire. ;ardour of the !Maier::
Thus the light infantry, which •arrived before
Ulm, rifled into the play ; and thus,. doting .the
capitulati,:n, the whole arety were fo Amnions to
form it, that tile Emperor was obliged to declare i 4
og his pnfiti-re intention, that the place Mould nut he
iloscard.
4. The full eniumn of the ptironers at Ulm-has
iat begun !t; march for 7ranee. The following is a
itatement of the total of our prifoners, at leaf of
thofe aanally.kuttiyu :o hare tiza taken, with their

prefent fituat:erts s-,,--tes.ooee at Au [burgh, 33,000
at Ulm, t 2,000 at Donauwerth, and t 2,200 already
on their march for France.
a The Emprror, in his proclamation, lays, that
we have made fro,ooo prifoners ; it is probable that
they exceed that number. He (fates the captured
ftandards at 90; it is alio probable that thefe amount
to a greater number.
" 'The Emperor addreffed the Aufirian General,
whom he fent for, as their army was filing pall him,
in the following terms Gentlemen, your Matter
carries on an nnju ft war. I tell you plainly, I know
not for what I am fighting; I know not what can
be required of me. It is not ui this army alone that
my refources confift, though were this the cafe, 'till
my army and myfelf would make confiderable pro.
grefs. But I (hall appeal to ihe tehimony of your
own prifoners of war, who will Ipeettily pis through
France ; they will obferve with their own eyes the
fpirit which animates my people, and with what ea-
garners they flock to my flandards. This is the ad.
vantage of my nation', and my plition. At a Tingle
word, zoo,coo Volunteers crowd to my liandard,
and in fix weeks become good foldiers—whereas
your recruits only march from compultion, and do
not become foldiers but after feveral years.
" I would give my Brother the Emperor of Ger-
many one futther piece of advice—let him halien to
make peace. This is the moment to recollea that
all Empires have an end—the idea that the end of
the -..lynafty of the Houfe of Lorraine may have ar-
rive.l. fhould imprefs him with terror.
" I defire nothing upon the Continent. I want
(hips. colonies, and Commerce ; and it is as much
your interell as mine that I thold have them."
" 1.1. Mack replied, that the Emperor of Germany
had not wifhed for war, but was compelled to it by
Ruflia." "If Mat be be cafe," laid the Emperor,
then you are no longer a (war."
" Mott of the Generals have confe.fled how digh•
greeablc this war was to them, and how much they
were of eaed to fee a Riiffian atm), in their country.,
They condemned that blind fyflem of politics, which
would bring into the centre of Europe a people accof-
mimed to live in an uncultivated country, and who,
as well as their ford -afters, might take a fancy to
fettle in a mildet climate.
" The Emperor has treated Lieutenant General
Klenau (whom he knew as Commander of the re-
giment of Wormier) with much civility, as alto
the Lieutenant Generals Giulay, Gottetheim, Ries,
and the Prince of Lichtenitein, &c. comforting them
in their misfortunes, and telling them that war has
its chances, and that though frequently conquerors,
they might fometimes be conquered."

OCTOBER at.

" Soldiers of the Grand Army—ln a fortnight we
have.finifbed A campaign. We have accomplifhcd our
purple. We have expelled the troops of the Houle
of Altai ia from B3vatia, and re-efiablithed our ally
in the Sovereignty of his States. That army, which
with equal ofientati.m and imprucknce, had polled
itfelf on our frontiers, is annihilated. But what does
this fignify to England ? Her pm pole is 'meow
plifhed. We are no longer at Boulogne, and the
amount of her fublicly will thereby be neither en-
creafed nor diminilhed.
" Of 100,000 men who compofed that army,
60,000 are prifoners ; they will go to take the place
of our confcripts in the labours of our fields.. Two
hundred pieces of cannon (their whole park), 90
Rand of colours, and all their Generals, are in our
hands; there have not efcaped of this army 15,000

men. Soldiers, I have announced to you a great
battle; but, thanks to .the bad combinations of the
enemy, I have,been able to obtain the fame fuccefs,
without running any tick; and, what is unexampled
in the hiitory of nations, fo important a refult has
not diminithed our force by more than t,500 men.
" Soldiers, you owe this fuccefs to your unbound-
ed confidence in your Emperor ; to your patience
in fupporting fatigues and privations of every de-
fcription, and to your fingular intrepidity.
" But we will not flop here. You are impatient
to commence a fecond campaign. We are about to
make that Ruffian army, which the gold of England
has tranfported from the extremities of the Univerfe;
undergo the fame fate.
" In this contell is more particularly implicated
the honour of the infantry. It is this which will a
fecund time decide the queflion, already refolved in
Switzerland and Holland—whether the French in-
fantry be the fecond or the fir 11 in Europe ? Here
there are no Generals, in combating whom I can
have any glory to acquire. All my care shall be to'
• obtain the vietory with the lei& poflible effusion of
blood—my foldiers are my children.

TENTH BULLETIN.
AUG StURCH, CCT. 22.-01 V the capittilation of
General Wet neck, near Nordlingen, Prince Ferdi-
nand, with a body of one the ufaud Imre, and a Por-
tion of artillery, had taken to flight: lee threw him
fell' into the Praflian territory, and took the route by
Gunvenhaufen for Nuremberg. Prince Murat fol-
lowed on his heels, andluccceded in overtaking him;
which gave rife to a battle on the road between
Furth and Nutemberg, in the night of the alit. All
the ref Qf the park of artillery, and all the baggage,
without weption, were taken. The CbrOuri a de-
val orthe Imperial Guard covered themfelves with
glory; they overthrew every thing which oppofed
them ; they charged Mack's regiment of Cuiraffiers.
The two regiments of Carabiners have fullaincd their
reputation.
We are 101 l of aflonifbment when we confider the

march of Prince Murat, from Albeck to Nuremberg.
Although always lighting, he excelled in fpeed the
enemy, who were two days march before him. The
refult of this prodigious aftivity was the taking of
isoo waggons, go pieces of cannon, r 6,000 men, in-
eluding the capitulations of General Werneck, and
of a great number of colours. Eighteen Generals
have laid down their arms. Three were killed.

[Here follows an enumeration of Officers who diftinguiled
themfelvesl

On the 2TR, at night, Prince Murat /hist at Nu-
remberg., where he retied the ezd.
The divilion r>f Wurtemberg is arrived at Geif-

The Battalions of Chaffeurs which had for-owed
the army fince its pafrege through Stntgard, have
gone to condo& to France a new column of 'goo°
prifoners. The troops of Baden, 3 or 4000 itrong,
are on their march to Aug'burg.
The Emperor has made a prefent to the Batavia'
of ao,ooo Marian fulls fur the army and the Na-
tional Guards.

.... _
He has ago made a prefent to the Elellor of Wir-
temberg of fix pieces of Anitrion cannon.
Doting the manoeuvre of Ulm, the Eleanr of
Wirtemberg was, for a moment, apprehenfive for
his Ele4lrefi and family, who then went to Heidel-
delbcrg, and he difpoled his troops to defend the
heart of his States. •

The Au(brans are detefted by all Germany, weU
convinced that, without France, Auttria would treat
them like its hereditary States.
No idea can be formed of the mifery of the Aut

trian army—they are paid in notes, by which they
lofe forty per cent. Our foldiers pleafantly call the
Aufirians paper foldicrs. They are without any cre-
dit.• The Houfe of Außria could not any where bnr-
row ten thoufand francs. The Generals themfelves
have not feen a piece of gold for feveral years. The
Englifh, when they heard of the invalion of Bavaria,
made a little prefent to the Emperor of Anftri4,which
has not renclered'him more rich; they have engaged
to remit him the 48 millions which they had lent him
during the left year. If this •be an advantage to
the Houfe of Audria, it has already paid pretty dear
for it.
