son with the greatest cheerfulnens.
" On the lOth, at half past ten in the morning,
Field Marshal Dedovich entered Passau. The enemy
retred, but by the rapid advance of our troops a
French Officer of En7ineers and eight pioneers were
taken. A French General the upper fort escaped
with difficulty. Prince Rosen'wrg, Cr,mmander of
the 4:h Corps of the 'army, summoned the fort to stir-
r ndir ; but this summons W 35, in compliance with
the custom of war, answered by a refusal.
" The true patriotic spirit of the inhabitants of
13.1<5-m was clearly demonstrated by the joy they dis-
played on our entering the town. They immediately'
pr:nted the Proclamation of his Royal Highness the
Generalissimo to the German Nation, and distribu-
tt.d 4.900 copies to the people of the country. Thus
the feeling of German independence remains, and is
cherished among them."

morrow pass the Iser at L.indshn; and Dingeltingen.

berg
Jagers and some detachments of infantry, pro-
vided with snow and climbing irons, co-operate with
him by the Zillerthal. Oar patroles are pushed for-
ward to Reichenhall, Lofers, and St. Johan ; the mi-
litia rf Lofers his occupied the pass of Strub, one of
t'ie most important entrances from Salrzburg into the
Janthal. The Tyrolese are every where flying to
a iris and expell;ng the Bavajians ; 1500 of the latter
have taken refuge in the fortress of Kufstein, and are
besieged there by the 'Tyrolese. A French officer
had recently taken the common ! of that fortress ;
the Bavarians,however, begin to be tired of the French.
superiority, and feel sensibly tie deep degradation of
their oppressed sittiation. Their disgust at the arm•
fiance of the French officers has, in several instances,
produced acts violence."

opTn a passage by force. The bridge was accordingly
re.established under the fire of the enemy ; the hull
corps crossed, and an action followed, - which termi-

FIFTH BULLETIN.
" 11u:id-qua:lent, at Lardsliut. April 17.
According to the concurring reports of all the
prisoners, as well as the inhabitants at Landshut, the
French Generril la..levre has collected 12,001 Eava-
rians from tie neighbourhood of Munich and Frey-
singen, with a view of stepping the oas...te of the
Austrian array by LtinJslair. The npproach to the
bridges wa- extremely difficult. They were besides
broken down, and the enemy's Tirailleurs, who had
occupied all houses on the opposite hank, could
only I,' ,yen theref: om by cannon being bronv..z. to
bear upon ;hem—each gun on our side was mounted
timer a s:n.wcr of sinall shot from the enemy: In
doing this, however, cur artillery displayed thegreatest

side of the town was in

ruined houses, I..evyail the melancholyfate to which
this fine town 11.,s been exposed by their own coon-

would make appe'r that Austria wishes to sie7e Pa-
• and to disarrn in a disgraceful manner, the
• . bate soldiers of that raninny, had required these
stoups
to make a r:uitlesz defence. Here French ar-

tifice succeeded in-making foreign blood flow for eleir
advantage, and in fOrning the arms of our German
brethren against their deliverers.
" The first bridge was scarce formed by a few
posts, when the advanced guard of the fifth corps
hastened across the Iser and pursued the enemy until
night. The troops are animated with an excellent
spirit, and sing war songs under the thunder of the
cannon.

" The advanced guard of Field Marshal Jellachich
entered Munich at eleven yesterday forenoon. The
King and Queen have fled under French protection
to A ugsburgli.
" The fourth army corps passed the Iser without
opposition :it Dingalsingen.
" The first and second corps have, after some suc-
cessful fighting, advancedto Amberg, Schavandorf,
and Kirn near RatisbPn. General Bellegarde cannot
sufficiently praise the crailant spirit and undaunted
resolution of his troops."
