PARIS, OCTOBER r 3.
News are at this moment circulating, of which we
may guarantee the authenticity, for we may give
credit to the Engla, when they mention their own
defeats. The veffels which left Rochefort have fuf-
tained the moll glorious combat ; they have taken
feveral flips of the Englifls Erin India Company,
well armed, richly loaded, and efcorted by (hips of
war, which are going to augment the French navy.
Nothing can equal the dexterity of the maareuvres
and the intrepidity with which one of our frigates
contributed to this important fuccefs !—(The re-
mainder of this frivolous gafconade is net worthy of
notice.)
Accounts from Mantua Rate, that the fupplies ne-
ceffary for that fortrefs, in the cafe of a liege, are
almoll completed. The works for improving the for-
tifications are alto nearly fininted. Since the fecond
of this month travellers have been prohibited from
patting by Mantua. They mull now pals by Goito
—the gates will not be opened hereafter, except to
ellifettes and couriers. The inhabitants are no longer
permitted to approach the works.

OCTORIL 14.
The report of cannon, which has been heard all
the morning, has caufed in this capital more plea-
fure than furprife. The Emperor is at the head of
his armies : we can expo% therefore, nothing but
•i&ories : but that which Is announced to us, and
opens this extraordinary war with fo much fplendour,
is the refult of a plan conceived with fuch genius,
and executed with fuch boldnefs and rapidity, that
the public joy burns forth on all fides, as if there
new triumphs were unoxpeaei. The following is
the fec-ond Bulletin of the Grand Army, publifhed in
the official journal :

" MOHO OFFICIAL BOLLBTIII OF THI GLAND AIIIT,
OCTOBER 8.

" Events fucceed each other with the greateft ra-
pidity. On the 6th, the fecond divifion of that part
of the corps under Matilt:.l Souvr, which is corn-
mended by General VANDANDIR, made a forced
march, relied only two hours at Nordlingen, arrived
at Donawerth at eight o'clock in the evening, and
gained poireffion of the bridge, which was defended
by the regiment of Colloredo. Some men were
killed and taken prifoners.
g 4 On the 7th, at break of day, Prince MURAT ar-
rived with his dragoons. The bridge had Oft been
repaired, and Prince Mtraar, with the divifion of
dragoons commanded by General Warrsa, ad-
vanced to the Lech, and ordered Colonel WaTisa,
at the head of two hundred dragoons of the 4th re..
giment, to pats over; who, after a very brilliant
charge, took the bridge of the Lech, and routed the
enemy, whofe force was double. On the fame day
Prince MuIAT slept at Rain.
44 Oa the Bth, Martha! Soul.r fet out wiih the
two divifions of Vandamme and Legrand, on his way
to Auglbourg, whit& Gen. ST. /imam, with his di-
vifion, advanced thither by the left bank.
44 On the fame morning, at break of day, Prince
Mum, at the head of the divifions of dragoons of
Generals SIAUKONT and &ma, and of the divifion
of carabiniers and cuiraffiers, commanded by General
NANSOUTTI began his march, for the purpofe of cut-
ting off the road from Ulm to Angfbonrg. When
be had arrived at Wertingen, he perceived a ftrong
divifion of the enemy's infantry, fupported by four
fqaadrons of Albert's cuiraffiers. He immediately
furrounded the whole corps. Martha' Laws ss, who
marched behind thefe divifions of cavalry, arrived
with the divifion of Oudinot : and after an engage-
went which fatted two hours, the colour!, guns, bag
gage, officers, and foldiers, in Ikort, the whole divi.
fion of the enemy was taken. There were twelve
battalions of grenadiers, who were coming in great
hafte from the Tyrol to the affiftance of the army in
Bavaria. The details .of this truly brilliant adion will
not be known till to-morrow.
" Marfhal Soma-, with his divifions, mancenver-
ed, throughout the whole of the 7th and Bth, on the
left bank of the Danube, in order to intercept the de.
bouches of Ulm, and to obferve the corps which ap•
pared to be [till collated in that place.
" The corps of Martha DATOUST arrived only on
the 16th at Neubourg. Gen. MAIM/IT'S corps is
alfo arrived there.

gg The corps of Marlhal Bunanorra, and the
Bavarians, arrived on the :dm Aichilett.
gg It appears that twelve Anitrian regiments have
quitted Italy to reinforce the army in Bavaria.

" The official account of thefe marches and events
will intereft the public, and do the army the highea
honour."

11 THE THIRD RULLITIII OF THE GRAND ARMY.

ZITIMBRSHAUSIIII, OCT. to.—Marthal SOULT
purfued the Aultrian divifion, which had taken refuge
at Aicha, drove it from thence, and on the 9th at
noon entered Aug(burgh, with the divifions of Van.
damme, St. Hilaire, and Legrand.

0 On the 9th in the evening, Maratal DAVOusr, who
croired the Danube at Neuburgh, arrived at skicha
with his three clivifions.
"General MAR sinus-, with the divifions of Bouts's.,
Ciovcay, and the Il.ttavian divition of Gen. Du-
stoncsau, paired the Danube and took a pofition
between 4icha and Augiburgh.
" In ijpe, thearmy under Mari6.IIIIRMAIIOTTR, to-
&Fiber with thy Bavarian alloy cOMMIII4I4I bY Ge-

rnerals Dszoc and Vaanvn, took their potation At
Ingo:lladt. The Imperial Guard, commanded by
General Bagman, proceeded to Auglburgh; as
likenife the divifion of Cuiraffiers, under the emu-
mand of General Hauvrou cr.

Prince MURAT, with the divifion of Km* and
Braumoar, and the divifion of carabineers and
cuirafliers under General NANSOUTT, battened with
all (peed to the village of Zufmerthaufen; in order
to intercept the road from Ulm to Augthurgh.
" Marthal LAMM, with thogrenadier divifinn of
Oudinot, and the divifinn of Suchet, took pole the
fame day in the village of Zufmerfhaufen.

" The Emperor paired in review the dragoons of
Zufmerhanfen : he ordered to be brought before him
a dragoon, named MARINTE, of the 4th regiment.
one of the gallant foldiers who, in the paffage of the
Lech, had Caved his Captain, who but a few days
before had calbiered him from his rank. His Majelly
bellowed upon him the Eagle of the Legion of Ho-
nour. The foldier then obferved, " I have only done
'my duty; my Captain degraded me on account of
Tome violation of difcipline, but he knows that I
have always proved a good foldier."
" The Emperor next exprelTed his fatisfaCtion to the
dragoons, of the condua they had difplayed at the
battle of Wertingen. He ordered each regimen to
prefent a dragoon, on whom he alfo bellowed the
Eagle of the Legion of Honour.

" His Majeftyexprelfed his fatisfadion to the grena.
diers of Gen. OUDINOT'S divifion, than which a finer
or more enthufiallic corps cannot poffibly
" Until we are enabled to give a detailed account of
t•te battle of Wertingen, it may be proper to fay
fomething of it in the prefent bulletin.

"Colonel Milani. at the head of his regiment of
Dragoons, charged the regiment of Cuiraffiers of
Duke ALBERT. The anion was very fharp.
set MUCH! had his horfe killed under him, and his
regiment burned with eagernefs to refcue him. Col.
Ilsaussosr, of the zoth Hotta.% fired with a true
French fpirit, feized upon a Captain of Cuiraffiers,
in the mida of the hoffile ranks, whom he himfelf
made a prifoner, after having cut down a dragoon.
u Colonel Mao elm, at the head of the 9th Dra-
goons, charged in the village of Wertingen ; being
mortally wounded, his laa words were...." Let the
Emperor be informed, that the 9th Dragoons have
Sewn themfelves worthy of their reputation; and,
that they charged and conquered, exclaiming,—
" Long live the Emperor I"
" That column of grenadiers, the flower of the
enemy's army, having formed in a fquare of four
battalions, was penetrated and cut down. The Ink
battalion of dragoons charged in the wood.
" oum woes divifion were indignant at the diaance
which Rill prevented them from attacking the enemy;
but at the very fight of them, the Anffrians baba-
ed their retreat—one brigade only was in time to
charge. All the cannon, colours, almoß all the
officers of the enemy's army, who fought at Wertin-
gen, were taken : a great number were killed. Two
Lieutenant Colonels, fix Majors, fixty Officers, 4000
foldiers have fallen into our hands. The remainder
were difperfeel ; and what efcaped owed their fafety
to a morafs, which (lopped a column that was turn-
ing the enemy.
" The chief of a fquadron, Excet.teaxs,
Camp of Prince MURAT, had two horfes killed ruder
him. It was he who carried the colours to the Em•
peror, who faid to him—" I know no man can be
braver than you; I male you an Officer of the Le-
gion of Honour."
" Martha! Nay, on his fide, with the divifion.
Wal-
her, Dupont, and Loifon, the divifion of dragoons
of General BAIMAGUAY d'Hatttaas, and the divifion
Gazan, afcended the Danube, and attacked the enemy
in their pofition at Grumberg. It is tow five o'clock,
and we hear the firing of cannon.
" It rains heavily ; but this does not retard the forc-
ed marches of the Grand Army. The Emperor fats
the example on horfeback night and day, he is con-
tinually in the mida of the troops, and in every point
where his pretence is neceffary. He yeßerday rode
fourteen leagues. He flept in a (mall village, with-
out fervants, and without any kind of baggage..
The Bithop of Augiburgh had, however, illuminated
his palace, and waited his Majeßy during a part of
the night."

Yefterday morning his Excellency the Pentionarr
fet off for Leyden 6 he is expelled back at the Hague
this evening.
When we gave notice in oar laft, that we lhonld
publith an Extraordinary Gazette this day, we did
not forefee that we fhould have the pleafure fo fools
to give an account of the Fir) View, of the French.--
That agreeable piece of intelligence was made pub-
lic yefferday morning, on the part of Gen. BRUCE, at
the parade, where the following Order of the Day
was read :

K I batlea to acquaint the garrifon with the fol-
lowing pleating intelligence :—On the 7th and Bth
of October, tfios, his Majefly the Emperor NAPO..
LION pallid the Danube in feveral places ;—forced
the firong pofition of the Aullrian army at Dona-
wet th, and totally defeated that army. Eleven bat-
talions of Hungarian grenadiers, and one regiment of
cavalry, together with tome coafiderable magazines,
and a gregt dcal of artillery, are the fruits of this

.l

victory. whim this important anion was fought in
the centre of the army, General BEINADOTTI, with
the Gallo Batavian army, pallid the Danube near
Ingolfladt ; which place was taken by ftorm.
" The confequence of thefe movements has been,
that 19,000 Auftrians, in the vicinity of Augfburg,
are blockaded ; the army is purfuing the flying ene.
my in every direCtion. (Signed) " wives,"
" Major General and Governor of the Reactance."

HAGUE, Ocr. !S.—This day the French Miniller
received, by an extraordinary Courier, the import-
ant intelligence that the French and Bavarian troops
have obtained a confiderable viEtory over the Auftri
ans. This intelligence (which appears alto to have
bl:n received by the War Department) (fates in fob-
ftance, that the Bavarians have taken Ingolfladt by
florm—that the number of Aullrian prifoners taken
in the affair of the Bth, near Donauwerth, amounts
to 12,o;:o men ; that the twelve battalions (mentioned
in the French Bulletin of the Great Army) confill of
eleven Hungarian battalions, and one regiment of
cavalry—and that a corps of Aullrians, 19,000 hong,
is furrounded in Sttabia, towards Augfburgh.
FRANCICPORT, Ocr. 12.—The rapid march of the
French in Germany has already been attended with
Tome material advantage on their part (See the parti-
culars in the Bulletin cf the army, in the Paris artith).—
The Auflrians had broken down the bridge of Donau-
werth, and afterwards battered down, with their
cannon, the fupporters on which it retied. The
bridges at Goetzlingen, Donaufletten, and Oepfin-
gen were taken away by them, and they had there-
upon retreated from the places IA mentioned, to Al-
beck. On the 7th of Odober many wounded Auf-
ttians were brought in at Neuburgh. On the fame
morning a heavy cannonade was heard on the fide of
Donauwerth.

We are informed that the Aufirians, who were
potted along the Danube about Neubnrgh and Do-
nauwerth, have fallen back upon the main army at
Ulm, after the French had paired the Danube. The
corps of Marfhal BERNADOTTE was to arrive before
Ingolfiadt on the 9th.
The Archduke FERDINAND, Commander in Chief
of the Auflrian army, arrived at Ulm, on the 3d of
O9ober. They continued working at the fortifica-
tions of that city, and at thofe of Memmingen. On
the Suabian mountain, named the Alp, between Ulm
and Geiflingen, fcme fkirmifhes have Oro taken place.
OFFENEURG, OCT. I r .—We learn by letters f, mit
Doufchingen. that the Auftrian dragoons and hu
lane, who had been quartered there during the laft
Efteen days, have quitted it, as well as Villengen,
Rothweyt, the Valley of Hell, and the Brirgau. They
proceed towards the Lake of Conftance, in order to
withdraw to the Tyrol, to prevent themfelves from
being cut off by the French army, which can at any
time pars the Danube.
NUREMBERG, Ocr. 7.—lt teems to have been
agreed, that the army under Marfhal BERNADOTTE,
and the Bavarian army, commanded by Gan. DEROI,
Ihould proceed to the Upper Palatinate, by way of
Forchheim, Rottenberg, and Herfpruch. But this
plan has undergone fome alteration, in confequence
of orders from the head•quarters of his Majetty the
Emperor of the French, put ruant to which all thole
troops have received orders to repair, with the kart
delay pollible, to the banks of the Danube. His
Majefly the KING of PRUSSIA had granted the French
army a paffage through the Margeaviate of Anfpacb.
General NOGAROLLA had opened a negotiation at
Anfpach, relative to the ;mirage of the Bavarian
troops through that country. This negotiation has
completely fucceeded ; fo that both corps were, a
few days ago, on their march through the Pint:Gan
territory, on their way to their places of deflination.
General Maamostr likewife direas his courfe to the
Danube. His corps was on the 4th concentrated at
Rotbenbourgh, on the Tauber, whence the Gallo-
Batavian army was to repair to Windflteim. Marfhal
BERNADOTTE paffed the 4th and sth of Oauber, at
Anfpach, whence he departed on the 6th.
The Bavarian army arrived on the sth in the en-
virons of our city. Captain GICUTTENRUTH is come
from Anfpach, and has brought General Dtv.ot the 1
Convention which had been concluded for the pafrage I
through the Prullian territory. On the fame evening '
a party of Bavarians entered the city, and retied,
during the night, in the Rreet;, where large fires wet e
lighted. Yefterday the whole army marched towards
Schwabach L:chtett, where there Rill were Auftrians.
DELFT, Ocr. 113.—Thc hit accounts from Vien-
na confirm the report that the Emperor of Rata was •
ii•eaed then, and that feveral apartments had been I
,or ready for him in the Imperial Palace at Vienna.
And at the Cattle of Schotibrunn. 1

The mon aElive preparations were g, ing on at Vi-
enna ; the whole army had been already increafed
beyond its full eor•_•plentent, in:l:rt.:tie of the reins-
drons and battalions of referve ; and they talked of
forming another army of referve.

The Aufirian General KIDPIMAYIII, bad taken a
pofition, on the 7th of Oaober, in the forea between
Donauwerth and Kaifertheim, with a view to protea

Since the Mail of yeßerday, we have received Pa.
ris Papers to the 16th, and the Dutch to the 19th,
both inclufive. Their contents, we are forry to Rate,
do not accord with the details received yefterday
from Hamburgh. The Außrians and Freneh have
been fighting cn the Danube; but, according to
theft Journals, the remit was decidedly in favour of
the French. The fiat blood Teems to have been
fpilt on the 7th, as Rated in the accounts by the
Mail, not however at Neuberg, but near Dona-
werth,where the French attempted the paff4ge of the
Danube.

On the Bth, the enemy having enablifhed them-
' Caves on the other fide of the Danube, Prince Mu-
RAT, at the head of a formidable body of cavalry,
having fet out to cut off the communication between
Ulm and AugfburgS, was loon after joined by the
divifion of ChM wor, and on his arrival at Wirten-
gen, fell in with an Audrian divifion, confiding of
twelve regiments of grenadiers, and four lquatlrons
of both, which had juR arrived from the Tyrol.—
After an alien of two hours, the Audrians were fur_
rounded, completely defeated, and a great part of
them taken prifoners, with the whole of their cannon,
c.lonrs, baggage, &e. It was not till the 9th, that
Martha' Davousr paired the Danube at Neuburg,
and it is not Rated that he experienced any oppofition
on the occafion. A third aftion appears to have taken
place at Gunfbnrg, a little higher up on the fame
fide of the Danube; but of the refult of this affair we
are as yet uninformed: The Bulled!, is dated from
Zufmarthaufen, a (tort didance from the above
Audi ian pod, and it merely Rates, that at five o'clock
on the matt, they again heard the firing of cannon.
Such is the outline of the French account of there
firft operations of the war. For a fuller detail we
mud refer our Readers to the accounts themfelves
given in the preceding-columns.

The Batavian State Gazette of the t9th fates,
that Ingoldfadt was taken by form by General BE R •
NADOTTE, after which, he pallid the Danube at that
place; that 19,000 Aufrians are blockaded in the
vicinity of Augiburgh ; and that the French army
is purfuing the flying enemy in every direEtion. Of
the progrefs of the Ruffians very little more is fated.
A letter from Nuremberg, however, Rates that the
people of Bohemia have remnn bated againft their
paffage through that country, in confequence of the
fcarcity which it occafions. In Italy hoftilities have
not yet commenced; but MASSELII, whole army has
been confiderably reinforced, waits only for the fignal
to enter the Aufrian territory, and prefs forward in
aid of the operations of Borwarra in Germany.
Had the Dutch account reached us,unaccompanied
by the details in the Mortikar, we should have thought
that a general engagement had taken place between
the two armies. in which the Aufttians had been
totally defeated, and forced from their potation. The
French official Paper does not fay one word about
t, the Emperor's ;Nang the Rhine, the taking of In-
gold.lacit by form, or the blockading of 19,000
Atiftrians in the vicinity of Angfburgh ;" and we
are not without hopes that the extent of the differ
will not be found by any means equal either to the
mode) communication in the Modiesw, or the obvioufly
falfe and exaggerated flatement in the general orders
ifrued by General BRUCE.

Although the French have paned the Danobe, it
does not appear that they have advanced far cn the
;On fide of that river. Indeed, the account in the
Moniteur is to confuted and contradiaory, that it is
impollible to afccrtain from it the true pofition of the
two armies, or to form any opinions with retpeoft to
their Tutu • operations.
The/needs of the French arm; was announced to
the people of Paris by a ditcharge of artillery.
The Dutch Official Gazette, has contradiaed, in
the moll pofitive terms, the report that the renewal
of the commercial relations between England and
Holland would (portly be permitted.
From Mad' id It is Hated, that the Governor of
Majorca has fent an account of the landing of the
Englilh at Ivica, who were replied, with the lots
of alma all their mea.
