SeLDIERs--You have fu,flled my expec-
| tations: you have supplied the want of num-
bers by your valor you have q oriously dis
played the difference between the soldiers
of Cesar and the rabble of Xerx-s.
In a few days we have triumphed IN three
battles. that OF Fam, of Abensburg, and of
Eckmdlh; and in the combats Of Peissine,
Landshut, and Ratisbon. One hundred pie
ces of cannon, forty standards, Fifty th0us.
and prisoners; three military equipages, 8
THOUSAND draft Carriages with baggage, all
| the chests of the enemy's regiments; be-
hold the result OF the rapidity of your mar
ches and your courage.
| The enemy, governed by an infatuated
and perjured cabinet, seem to have forgot
| ten that you exist but you have appeared
before them, and you have appeared TO them
mere terrible than ever.
IL is not long since they crossed the Inn
| and invaded the territory of our allies il.
is not long since they medtated to carry the
war INTO the bosom OF our country; but TO
day, overwhelmed and panic stricke en-, they
| fly in disorder; already my advanced guard
| has passed the Inn before one nonth we
| shall be at Vienna.
