HAMBURG!! MAIL.
PRAVUE, DEC. 18.

As the retreat of the Archduke Joint was condo:l-
-ed in a mall eily manner, the following official rela-
tion has been publiffied
" As the army in the Tyrol had been expofed,
and left entirely without the means of defence, in
confequence of the unexpeited misfortunes of the
army in Germany, feveral reinforcements were or
dead from Italy; the Archduke John received the
command of the troops in the Tyrol, and arrived
there on the asth of Otlober. None of the scent
tomed refonrces of provifinns, &c. had been brought
from Suabia and Bavaria for feveral months, and
the magazines had been fo much exhaufied in the
fupply of the great armies in Germany, that for the
army of Tyrol they fiercely afforded a fufficient
fapply for three weeks.
" When the Auftro-Ruffian army, on the Inn, was
compelled to leave the important politicos at Saltz-
bourg. the enemy never for a moment 101 l fight of
the advantage of poifeffing it. Marthal Bernadotte
entered Saltzbourg on the *Bth of Oacrber, while a
Bavarian corps advanced, by way of Trout:Rein and
Rcichenhall, to Lover.
" The Archduke John, with four companies of
yagers, at battalions, and two regiments of cavalry.,
refolved to march, by way of Saalfeld and Hochfil-
ten, to Rafladt, not only to preferve the communi-
cation on the roads between Saltzbourg and &pita',
but alto with the view of bringing a confiderable
corps, upon its march from Italy, upon the flank and
rear of the enemy. In the mean while, the enemy
advanced towards the pafs of &rub, and made him-
felf mailer of it, by which our march to Saalfeld was
'goofed. But as his Highnefs ordered Count St.
Julien and General Challelet to attack and make
themfelves mailers of this pafs for the common leen-
rity, tilde orders were fo happily executed, that the
enemy was compelled to retreat to Reichenhall with
confiderable lots. General De Roi was killed, and
General Minnzi wounded. On the ad of November
our troops were at Waiding and St. Johan ; on the
following day his Royal Highnefs meant to continue
his march through Hochfilzen, when a courier
brought him the intelligence, that the General who
was proceeding with three battalions, by the pafs of
Lug, towards Saltzbourg, was attacked by the enemy
on the fira of November, and compelled to retreat.
This General mentioned, that Bernadotte, with
tB,OOO men, had advanced as far as Railadt. This re-
port obliged the Archduke to return to Infpruck. In
the meanwhile Marihal Ney advanced with his corps
of the army to Scharnitz. which polthe fummoned,
and threatened to dorm. At the fame time his
Highnefs learned from the Archduke Charles, that
the misfortunes of the German army, and the ad-
vances of the enemy in Auftria, had compelled him
to retreat from the Adige on the tit of November.
" This was the fituation of the Archduke John
when the greater part of his troops were dill in the
Lower Innthal.

Martha' Nay, while before Scharnit z, was repulf
ed in three incest:five attempts to form the place,
which was obltinately defended by Lieutenant Colo-
eel Swinburoe. till the night of the 3d, when the ene-
my, gaining the p!ifs of Luitafch, appeared behind
'the pot! of Scharnitz, and thus effected its evacuation
in his favour.
~ His Royal Highnefs afterwards ;trued orders to
the detached corps to proceed, and form a junction
with him, by the Brenner, through the Winchgau,
and General Rohan was at Imfi on the 6th. On the
4th the Archduke removed from Infpruck to Sta-
roch, where he learned that the enemy, Ittihad of
proceeding to Raftadt, had fallen back again to Hal-
kin.

" This was a falfe report, and its confequences may
be earth. divined, fince it prevented the Archduke
from proceeding to Saltzbourg, as he might have
done on the Bth, with thirty battalions, and two re-
giments of cavalry.
" His Royal Highnefs marched to the Brenner,
and ordered General Challelet to move with his di
'Mon to Raftadt, to fecure the communication by
this route. The Generals Jellachich and Rohan were
alto ordered to proceed by Nauders, Gluxens, Meran,
and Botzen, to form a junflion with General Hiller,
who had the command of a corps near Prarzol.
" His Highnefs remained upon the Brenner till
the t 3th, when the Archduke Charles had made good
his retreat on the other fide of the Tagliamento.—
However, the Commandants of two of his corps mif-
took the orders of the Archduke John, and remained
near the Voralberg, and in the Winchgau.
" The enemy made an attack upon the Brenner
on the t tth, and advanced to Cries, but were re-
pulfed, and his Highnefs could wait no longer far
the Generals Jellachich and Rohan, without rifking
the interruption of his communication by the army
of Maffena. He determined upon effeding his retreat,
ra eebeleai, through the Puflcrthal, arranging it in
fuch a manner, that each divifion kept the diaance
of a march between the other, forming his advanced
guard towards Carinthia, and his rear towards the
Tyrol ' • fo that if the enemy had ventured to attack
him in the Pufterthal, his Royal Highnefs would have
been in a lituation to have repulfed him on each of
his flanks with the echellons of the front and the rear.
" The advanced guard proceeded by forced
marches to Niederndorf, and where, as nothing was
to be apprehended from the enemy, the fecond libelers,
viz. the divifion of General Mitrosflty, was ordered
to halt near Cortiva and Muda, till the rear-guard
came up within the diflance of one march.
" At Lietnz his Highnefs learned, that the enemy
was advancing, by the route of Judenberg, towards
Clagenfurth, when General Slegenfurth was ordered
to cover Gailthal, Ponteba, and Fnelatthal, to pre.
vent his Highnefs from being cut off upon his route
from Tarvis to Villach. Marfhal Ney repro:tented to
his Royal Highnefs the dangerous fituation he was
in, and the impoflibility of extricating himfelf. To
this his Highnefs returned no anfwer. At length the
head of the £chellons arrived at Villack, and from
the ,7th to the zoth, the whtle army having fur•
mounted a continued (cries of obilacles, found them.
(elves collefted at Klagenfurth. Martha' Ney fol-
lowed the rear-guard as far as Lientz, when he full.
denly turned off' towards 116:en, as the corps under
Prince Rohan had advanced towards Botzen.
" At Villach we heard the report that Marmont
had entered Gratz on the t zth, and was marching
towards Mahrburgh, which again occafioned come
cmbarraffinent.

". Thus his Royal Highnefs proceeded tower's
juntlion with the Archduke Charles, which he ef•
feted at Cliffy, on the a7th of November, when they
were again in a lituation for ;idling 20441 the enemy
with effe& The advanced•guard no* proceeding
through Mahrenburg to Marhburg, obliged Wail
Marmont to meafure back his (tees towards Gratz.
" Thus the union of the Archduke John with the
Archduke Charles was effected, notwithaanding all
the obftacles that oppofed it, from the exertions of the
enemy t and thus his Royal Highnefs fuccefsfully re.
filled all the movements of their numerous corps,

calculated to prevent the attainment of his principal
object ."
