quarters at Muhidorf.
The Austrian division commanded b,
gen. Jellachich, which occupied Munich,i Il
followed by the corps OF the duke of Dant-
xic (Lefe6vxe.
The king of Bavaria has shewn himselfa at
Munich. He afterwards went to Augsburgh
where he will remain some days, wait
ing TO re establish his residence at Munich,
and till Bavaria should be entirely freed
from the enemy.
On the side of Rstsbon the duke of Au-
erstadt (Davousfl has gone in pursuit of
the archduke Charles, whose communca-
tons with the Inn and Vienna being cut off,
he has no other resoprce!b0t to retire into
the mountains of Bohemia, by W aldenchen
and Cham.
As for the emperor of Austria, it APP.
pears that he was before Passau, having
taken upon himself the seige of that place
| with three battalions from Landwerth.
| All Bavaria aud the Palatinate are freed
from the presence OF the enemy's armies.
| AT Ratisbon the emperor reviewed seve.
raj corps, and had presented to him the
braSest soldiers, on whom he bestowed dis.
functions and pensions, and to the bravest
| oihcsrs he gave baronies and lands. He
especially signified his satisfaction with the
divisions OF st. Hilaire and Fraint.
! Until now, the emperor had made the
war almost without his equipage, audit has
been observed that in the actions of his
guard he has been always surrounded by
the allied Bavarian and Wirtcmburg troops,
wishing by SO doing, TO give them parti-
GUAR proof of his confidence.
Yesterday arrived at Landshut q party
of chasseurs and grenadiers OF the guard
J on horseback. A regiment OF fusileeers *
| a battalion of CHEESE nrs on foot
In eight days time all the guard will be
arrived.
report was current that the emperor
had his leg broken. The fact is, spent
ball had grazed the heel of his boot, but
had nst touched his skin. Never was his
majesty in the midst of the greatest fa..
tigues in better health.
F. Its remarked as singular thing, that
one of the first Austrian officers made
prisoners in this war, is found to be the
abide camp of the archduke Charles, sent
to Mr.. Otto to deliver the famous letter
saying that the French army were compel
led TO retreat.
The inhabitants of Ratisbon, having be-
haved well, and shewn patriotic and con-
federate spirit, which we have to expect
from them, his majesty has ordained that
the damages which they had sustained,
should be made up to them at his expense
and particularly the restoration of the hou-
ses which had been burnt, the expense of
which will amount to several millions.
! All the sovereigns and all the countries
OF the confederation, evince the most patri-
otto spirit. When the minister of Austria
at Dresden, delivered the declaration of
his court to the king of Saxony, that prince
could not contain his indignation. ''D0 you
wish war;" said the king. "an6 against
. whom! You attack and insult him, who,
three years since, master of your fate. re.
stored to you your states. The propositi-
ons which have been made to me, afYict me-
My engagements are known to all Europe.
NO prince of the confederation will Sc
paratc himself from it,"
| The grand duke of Wurt7burg, brother
OF the emperor of Austria, has shewn the
same sentiments, and declared that il the
Austrians advance to his states, he would
retire it it was requisite TO the other side
OF the Rhine. Thus the injuries of the
court of Vienna are generally appreciated.
The regiments of the petty princes, and all
the allied troops, anxiously demand TO
march against the enemy.
BY the declarations of the French en-.
peror, concerning Bavaria, it is evidently
his determination to augment the territory

ted house of Lorraine, and if Francis be
permitted to retain the kingdom OF Hunga-
