THE SW'!OMAN.

It. This event proved a signal far a general rising
of the peup'e at Bregentz, and in the neigLbuur-
bouil. The tocsin was rung on mu side, the in.
surrnts collected in great numbers, and threat-
ned the flanks of the French and Wirtembergers,
wh hail been joilod by the Baden troops, sod
wk., retreated to Lindau. The rebels entered all
the country houses, from whence they Gred on
the town, the artillery of which, until five in the
eve.iieig, answered their fire. At that lime they
fell loaek, and at night their fires were descried in
their former positions. They left many killed be.
hind them, and carried away a still greater number
of wounded. _ _

46 The rebels plundered several houses at Ascii.
ach ; and committed all sorts of enorerititut at !fur.
gensweiler, Rankin, and Rielienbach. The l.►tter
were chiefly laid to the charge of the Sa!?z!)urg
chasseurs, and some Austrian prisoncri who have
found means to escape. In general this war as.
iniles, on both sides, the atrocious characteristics
of civil war. _ _ _

On the 11th, 1,550 men of the Imperial font
guards-arrived at Ravensburg, w.htch they left on
the 13th, for Wangcu. The conduct of this fine
corps is highly praised. The principal places
which it now occupies are: Tcttcuany, Rayons.
burg, Linden, %Vangcn and Buchhorn. It will
soon b.; followed by other French, Wirtemberg,
and Baden troops. The reinforcements which are
expected, are estimated at 4,000 infantry and 000
cavalry.
" The fortress of Rutstein had long bean s.;r_
rounded by the Tyrolese insurgents, and all com-
munication with it was interrtipie.i. Thti want
of the most common necessaries began to be felt,
when, on the 18tk, Licutenant.Gencral Demi,
who commands the third Bavarian division, under-
took and succeeded in suppiyiug that place with
provisions.
" At seven o'clock in the evening of the 17th,

the troops destined to that expeditiou were col.
laded in the weed behind Degerndorf. At two
the neat morning they began their march, and be-
fore eight reached Kufstein. The Austrians and
'the insurgents retired without mating any re-
r:stance.
" General Dcroi instantly caused the proviiions,
ammunition, remedies, and every necessary arti-
cle which be had brought, to be carried with the
greatest rapidity into the citadel. took away
the sick iu boats, which cotiveyed them to Mas.
serberg, and supplied their place witii fresh troops.
Leh a quaetily of provisions, &c. bad been lire.
pared, that th 9 Commandant of the fortress could
• not admit the whole within its walls. Knfstidti is
thus provided with every thing necessary to baffle
a besieging enemy.
" This useful expedition has cost. us nothing:
we have not even had a eagle mek„wounded.—
About five in the evenint the corps of General"
Demi retreated, and, at 10, took up Its former
position near Degerndorf.
" Late information has reached as from Lintz
by which we learn that the position of the two
divisions of the Royal Army is still the same; 110.
thing new has taken place."
Feaxtroar, JUNE 21.—Besi:les the King of
Saxony and the Grand Duke of Wurtz"Jurg, we
have here the Duke of Anhalt,' Kcethen, the
Doke of Bavaria and his wife, and the Prince of !
Loewenstein-Wertheim -The Grand Duke of
llesseaLrinstadt and the Marshal Duke of Valmy
have here paid a visit is thf.se Princes, wbutn-'-thd
events of war have colleald within otir walls. --;
All the lodgings in tow" tare occupied by these
illustrious foreigners and their suite.
The information from the north Of 'Germany's
of an encouraging nature. The Anstriiin corps
which enti:red Dresden on the 11th inst. was com-
posed of only three regiments of infantry, one of
Uhlans, and a battalion.of the Bohemian Laud-
wehr. The Uhlans consist mostly of Brunswick
and' Hessian deserters, who distinguish themselves
by plundering and ravaging. T:ie whole corps is
commanded by-the Duke of Brunswick Oels. The
old Elector of llessia remains prudently di the
back. ground at Prague, according to the Gazettes
of that town. It is, however, reported by some
wags, that he has concealed himself under this
name of Am-Ende, which is realty that of the
Austrian General who commands at D:esdeii.

The King of Saxony frequently sends avid re-
ceives couriers. We are assured of his having
been informed, that on the nth inst. his troops
surprised the Austrian out.pusts at Nossen, two
leagues from Drerden, and took a great number
of the enemy prisoners. On the 15th, the Dyke
of Hruuswick Oils male preparations to attack
the position of the Saxons oe the rued to Nos.
sea ; and the latter, only 1600 strong, retired and
took a position before Leipsic mid Altenburg,
which they still occupied un the 19th, although
the credulous and ti.»orous had s,:read a rumour
that Austrian Uhians had shown themselves at
Eisenach. The absurdity of this report is the
more evident, as we know that General ltiraud,
after haviiig ascertained that nu enemy had ap.
geared at Bamberg, returned to Eisenach without
meeting with a single Austrian.
The Gazette of Leipsic, of the 19th, which we
have received, confirms the truth of our remarks,
and proves how little entitled to credit are
,the
rumours collected by certain newspaper, respect-
ing the occupation of the towus of flail aid Lt4p.
sic by the enemy.
It seems that Eisenach is the rallying point of
the French and other troops, which from the
Banks of the Khios and the Niaine repiir to form
a junction with the Wes!phalimi ainiy, command.
ed by the King in persou.
It is true, that on thr 15th June, the park of
laeon artillery, which was at Wittenbure, was
transported to Magdeburg, where it will be more
Were, and where besides the corps of General
Gratisi" is hoe: 1y expected.
We learn this day, that lf.s Majesty the King
or &aim has received, by a courier, the infortua.
Lion of the Austrian troops, who occupied part
of Simony, having begun their retreat towards
Bohemia. The writer.fruns Wartzburg that tilt
Austrians hare also fe!.:n back.
Every man of sense foresaw that a shameful
fight would be the only cusisequeore of shawl
• , . .ra.trion, of 2 my*.

far force would be sufficient toldiesipita .those
gangs of deserters whose courage is equal oldy to
the plunder of the public chest; and the Oinaging
of defenceless towns.

" The enemy, after abandoning the field of

disorder towards Contorts, :where he has been
closely pursued. We have lost between 5 and

The invasion of a part of Saxony by s body
of Austrians, who, it is even reported, have scut
detachments into Thuringia and Franconia, as
well as the movements in the Tyrol and the Vu.

SALZBURG) JUNE it—litre) and in our whole
territory, the most complete tranquillity prevails.
Scarcely more titati 200 Salzburghera still remain
with the Tyrolese insergessts, and have rejected
the proffered amnesty. Travellers coming from
the Tyrul say, that in Inspruck, and the whole
Gunnies Tyrol, great want of provisions pre.
sails, which, In peaceable times, the inhabit-
ants were wont to derive from Bavaria. Aus.
trian engineers' are fortifying the various passes
of the Tyrol. The 700 workmen who were
employed in the famous silver mines of Schwas,
have been almost all forced rby the insurgeuts to
t ike up arms. The number of Tyrolese in arms
dues not exceed 10,000 men among whom may
be seen old men of 70, and lads 15 years old ; ma-
ny of them were slum with good innquets, others
with fowling-pieces only. Wealthy Citizens, who
decline joining the insurrection, are obliged to con-
tribute money and victuals. The Vorqlborgers
have above 3,000 under arms, consisting of pea.
sants, chamois-hunters, and fowler.
JUNE 17. The corps with which
General Awhendc entered Dresden, consisted only

role force of artillery has also passed through,
