The Bishop and the principal public functionaries of Saltzburgh repaired to Burghausen, to implore the clemency of the Emperor for their country. His Majesty gave them his assurance, that they should never again come under the dominion of the House of Austria. They engaged to take measures for recalling the four battalions of the militia, which the circle had delivered, and of which a part were dispersed and fled. The head-quarters are to be this day removed to Ried. At Brannau, magazines were found with 200,000 rations of biscuit, and 6000 sacks of oats. The Circle of Ried has furnished three battalions for the militia, but the greater * part of them are returned again to their habitations. The Emperor of Austria was three days at Brannau; he was at Scharding when he heard of the defeat of his army. The inhabitants consider him as the principal cause of the war. The famous volunteers of Vienna passed through this place after the defeat at Landshut, throwing away their arms, and carrying with them in all haste their terror to Vienna. On the 21st of April, an Imperial Decree was published in the capital, declaring the ports to be again opened to the English, the treaties with this ancient ally renewed, and hostilities against the common enemy begun. General Oudinot has taken prisoners battalion of 1000 men, between Altham ami Ried. This battalion was without cavalry. and artillery. On the approach of our troops, they made an attempt to fire with their small arms, but being surrounded on all sider by the cavalry, were obliged to lay down their arms. His Majesty caused several brigades of light cavalry to pass in review at Burghausen, and among others those of Hesse Darmstadt; at whose appearance he was pleased to express his satisfaction, General Marulaz, under whose command the corps stands. presented several of them, to whom his Majesty was pleased to grant decorations of the Legion of Honour. General Wrede has intercepted a courier, on whom were found two letters in pieces, from which we may perceive the state of confusion in which the kingdom is. Fifth Bulletin, From the Imperial Camp at Enns, Day 4, 1809. On the 1st of May, General Oudinot, after having made 1400 prisoners, penetrated beyond Ried, where he took 400 more, without firing a single gun. The town of Brannau was a strong place of sufficient importance, since it commanded a bridge on the river, which forms the frontier of Austria. In a spirit of inconsistency, worthy this weak Cabinet, it destroyed a fortress situated on a frontier, where it might be of great utility, in order to build one at Comorn, in the midst of Hungary. Posterity will with difficulty credit this excess of inconsistency and folly. The Emperor arrived at Ried on the 2d in the morning, and at Lambach in the after. noon. At Ried were found an establishment of eight sets of military ovens, and magazines containing 20,000 quintals of flour. The bridge of Lambach, on the Traun, had been cut by the enemy; it was re-established during the day. On the same day, the Duke of Istria and the Duke of Montebello entered Wels. In this town was found a bakery, 12 or 15,000 quintals of flour, and maga zines of wine and brandy. The Duke of Dantzic, who arrived on the 30th of April at Saltzburg, instantly caused one brigade to march towards Kufstein, and another towards Rastadt. His advanced guard, pursuing General Jellachich, forced him across the strong post at Colling, On the 1st of May, the head-quarters of the Duke of Rivoli were at Scharding. AdjutantGeneral Trinqualaye, commanding the advanced guard, met at Riedan, the advanced guard of the enemy. The Wirtemberg light horse, the Baden dragoons, and three companies of French voltigeurs, attacked and pursued the enemy to Neumark. The Duke of Rivoli arrived at Lintz on the 34. The Archduke Lewis, and General Hiller, with the remains of their corps, reinforced by a reserve of grenadiers, and by all that the country could afford them, were before the Traun with 35,000 men; but menaced with being turned by the Duke of Montebello, they proceeded to Ebersberg, in order to pass the river. On the 3d, the Duke of Istria and General Oudinot marched towards Ebersberg, and effected a junction with the Duke of Rivoli.-They met the Austrian rear guard before Ebersberg. The intrepid battalions of the tirailleurs of the Po, and the Corsican tirailleurs, pursued the enemy, who was passing the bridge, drove into the river the cannon, waggons, and from 8 to 900 men, and took in the town from 3 to 4000 men, whom the enemy had left there for its defence. General Claparede, whose advanced guard was three battalions, pursued them. He halted at Ebersberg, and found 30,000 Austrians occupying a superb position. The Duke of Istria passed the bridge with his Cavalry, in order to support the division, and the Duke of Rivoli ordered his advanced guard to be strengthened by the main body of the army. The remains of the corps of Prince Lewis and General Hiller were lost without resource. In this extreme danger the enemy set fire to the town, which was built of wood. The fire spread in an instant in every direction. The bridge was soon enveloped, and the flames seized the joists, which it was necessary to cut. Neither cavalry nor infantry were able to act; and the division of Claparede alone, with only four pieces of cannon, fought during three hours against 30,000 men. This battle of Ebersberg is one of the finest military occurrences, the memory of which can be preserved by history. The enemy seeing the division of Clarapepe cut off without any communication, advanced three times against it, and was always received and stopped by the bayonet. At length, after a labour of three hours, the flames were turned aside, and a passage was opened. General Le Grand marched towards the castle, which the enemy had occupied with 800 men. The sappers broke in the doors, and the flames having reached the castle, all who were within perished. General Le Grand afterwards marched to the a sistance of Claparede's division. General Durosnel, who advanced to the right shore, with 1000 horse, joined him, and the enemy was obliged to retreat with great haste.. Oa the first report of these events, the Emperor himself marched up the right shote with the divisions of Nansouty and Molitor. enemy retreated with the greatest rapidity, arrived at night at Enns, burnt the bridge, and continued his flight to Vierina. His loss consists of 12,000 men, of which 7500 are prisoners. We also possess four pieces of cannon, and two standards. The Deputies of the States of Upper Austria, were presented to his Majesty at his bivouac at Ebersberg. Sixth Bulletin. The of Ponte Corvo were at Riez, between Bohemia and Ratisbon. One Schill, a sort of robber, who was covered with crimes during the last campaign with Prussia, and who had obtained the rank of Colonel, has deserted from Berlin, with his whole regiment, and repaired to Wirtemberg, on the Saxon frontier. He has environed that town. General Lestocq has issued a proclamation against him as a deserter. This ridiculous movement was concerted with the party which wished to send fire and blood through Germany. His Majesty has ordered the formation of a corps of observation of the Elbe, which will be commanded by the Duke of Valmy, and composed of 60,000 men. The advanced guard is ordered to proceed to Hanau. The Duke of Montebello crossed the Enns at Steyer, on the 4th, and arrived on the 5th at Amstetten, where he met the enemy's advanced guard. Colbert, General of Brigade, caused the 20th regiment of horse chasseurs to charge a regiment of Ulans, of whom 500 were taken. The young Lauriston, eighteen years of age, and who but six months ago was a page, after a singular combat, vanquished the commander of the Ulans, and took him prisoner. His Majesty has granted bim the decoration of the Legion of Honour. On the 6th, the Duke of Montebello arrived at Molck, the Duke of Rivoli at Amstetten, and the Duke of Auerstadt at Lintz. The remains of the corps of the Archduke Lewis and General Hiller, quitted St. Polten on the 7th. Two-thirds passed the Danube at Crems; they were pursued to Mautern, where the bridge was found broken; the other third took the direction of Vienna. On the 5th, the head-quarters of the Emperor were at St. Polten. The head quarters of the Duke of Montebello are to-day at Sigartskirchen. The Duke of Dantzic is marching from Saltzburg to Inspruck, in order to attack in the rear the detachments which the enemy has still in the Tyrol, and which troubled the frontiers of Bavaria. In the cellars of the Abbey of Molck were found several thousand bottles of wine, which are very useful for the army. It is not till beyond Molck that the wine country begins. It follows from the accounts given in, that the army has found, since the passage of the Inn, in the different magazines of the enemy, 40,000 quintals of flour, 400,000 rations of biscuit, and some hundred thousands of rations of bread. Austria had formed these magazines in order to march forward. They have been of great use to us. At the Imperial Head-quarters at Enns, May 6. By virtue of a command of his Majesty the Emperor and King, Chastelar, soi-disant General of the Austrian service, ringleader of the insurrection in the Tyrol, and causer of the murders committed on Bavarian and French prisoners, contrary to the laws of nations, shall be brought before a military commission, and executed within twenty-four hours after he shall be taken, and this as the leader of highway robbers. ALEXANDER, Prince of Neufchatel, &c. Seventh Bulletin. Vienna, May 13, On the 10th, about nine in the morning, the Emperor appeared with the corps of the Marshal Duke of Montebello, at the gates of Vienna. It was just one mbath, on the same day and hour that the Austrian army had crossed the Inn, and the Emperor Francis had rendered himself guilty of a breach of faith, which was the prognostic of his overthrow. The Emperor experienced a secret satisfaction, when, approaching the immense suburb of Vienna a numerous populace, women, children, and old men, hastened to meet the French army, and received our soldiers as friends. General Couroux entered the suburbs, and General Thurcan repaired to the platform which separates them from the town. At the moment when he was posting his troops, he was saluted with a fire of musketry and cannon, and received a slight wound. Of the three hundred thousand which form the whole population of Vienna, the town properly so called, which is defended by bastions and a counterscarp, contains nearly 80,000 inhabitants. The four quarters of the town, which are called suburbs, and which are separated from it by a plain, on the land side, covered by entrenchments, include more than 5000 houses, inhabited by more than 220,000 persons. The Archduke Maximiljan had ordered registers to be opened to collect the names of the inhabitants who wished to defend themselves. Thirty individuals alone inscribed their names; all the others refused with indignation. The Duke of Montebello sent him an aidde-camp with a summons; but hutchers, and some hundreds of fellows, who were the satellites of the Archduke Maximilian, flew upon the aid-de-camp, and one of them wounded him. After this unheard-of violation of the rights of nations, we saw the frightful spectacle of a part of the city firing upon the other part, and of a city whose arms were turned against her own citizens. General Andreossy, appointed Governor of the city, organised in each suburb muncipalities, a central committee of subsistence, and a national guard. The Governor-General caused a deputation from the eight suburbs to proceed to Schoenbrunn. The Emperor ordered this deputation to go into the city with a letter from the Prince of Neufchatel, representing to the Archduke, that, if he continued to are upon the suburbs, such an attack would for ever break the ties that attach subjects to their 40vereigns. |
