"The Gov. Gen. caused a deportation OF
the 8 suburbs to repair TO Schonnhrun.--
The Emperor charged them 1oproceed to
the city in order to carry the annexed letter
(No. So written by Maj. Gen. Prince of Neuf-
chatel to the Archtiuke MaXimilian. He re-
commended the deputies to represent to the
Arci,duke that II he continued to FIRE upon
the suburbs, and if single one of the inha-
bitants lost his life through his arms, this act
.offrenzy. this crime against the people, would
forever break the bonds which attach subjects
to their sovereigns.
The deputation entered the city on the
11th at ten of the forenoon, and their arrival
was marked only by the redoublcd fire from
the ramparts. Fifteen inhabitants ct the sub
urbs persisted, and only two Frenchmcn
were killed.
The patience of the Emperor was weari-
ed out. He proceeded with the Duke ofRi
wolf to the arm of the Danube which separates
the Pratar 1.-THE fashionable promenade of Vi
enna1 and ordered two companies of Volti-
geurs to occupy a small pavilion on the left
bank, in order to cover the raising of a
bridge. The battalion of grenadiers which
: defended the passage, was driven back by
the Voltiseurs, and by the grapeshot of IS
pieces-of artillery. At of the evening the
pavilion was occupied. and the materials of
the bridge collected Captain Portales, Aid
de-Camp of the Prince of Neufchatel, and
- Susaldi. Aid de Camp of General
Boudet, were among the first to swim across
the river in order to seek the boats on the
opposite shore.
;" AT 9of the evening battery of 20 obus-
SeS, raised by Generals Bertrand & Navalet,
at 100 fathoms from the place, began the
bombardment; 1900 obusses were shot i'm
less than four hours, and soon the whole APP
peared to be in flames. One must have seen
Vienna, its houses of eight or nine stories,
Its narrow streets and numerous population
within SO narrow a compass, in order to form
an idea of the tumult, disorder and disasters
which such an operation could not but occa-
sion.
"The Archduke Maximilan had, at one i'm
the morning, caused two battalions to march
in close column, in order to attempt retaking
the pavilion, which covered the raising of
the bridge. The two companies of voltigeurs
received them with discharge of musket
ry, which, with the Is pieces of artillery
from the right side, destroyed part of the
column, and forced them to Fly in great dis
order.
The Archduke los. all presence of mind
in the midst of the bombarJlment, and espe-
cially at the moment when he heard we had
crossed an arm of the Danube, and were on
the march to cut off his retreat. As feeble
and weak AS he had been rash and arrogant
he was the first to fly and recross the bridge
The respectable general O'Reily learned
only by the flight of the Archdnke, that he
was invested with the command.
"Day break ON the 1cti announced to the
advanced guard, that the firing would cease
and that deputation was about to be sent
to the emperor.
This deputation was presented to his
majesty in the Park of Schoenbr,nn
His Majesty assured the Deputies of his
protection he expressed the pain which
the inhuman conduct of their Sovereign had
givea him. who had not feared to deliver up
his capital to all the calamities Of war--who,
himself striking blow at his rights, instead
of being the King and Father of his sub
jects, had eyinced himself their enemy and
fyrant. His Majesty assured them that vi
emma should be treated with the same intlul
gence and favor which had been displayed
in 1905. The Dcputaton answered this as
surance by expressions of the most lively
gratitude.
AT nine of the morning the Duke of Ri
wolf. with the divisions St Cyr and Boatlet,
took possession of the Leopoldstadt.
During this time, Lieutenant General
O'Rcilly sent Lieutenant General de Naux
aud Col mel Beloutte to treat for the cap;tu-
