dial Ney ordered the whole of his corps to pufh forward; 
the divifion under the command of general Loifon, was 
to haden to Langenau ; and that commanded by general 
Malher, was to approach Gunfbtirgh. The Andrians 
who attempted to make head againft thefe movements, 
were defeated in every direction. It was in vain that the 
archduke Ferdinand hadened in perfon to the defence of 
Gunfburgh. The pofition was, in purfuance of general 
Malher’s orders, attacked by the 59th regiment, and an 
obdinate engagement took place man to man. Colonel 
Lacuee was killed at the head of his regiment, which, 
notwithdanding the mod vigorous reddance, carried the 
bridge by dorm, and took the pieces of cannon by which 
it was defended. Gunfburgh now fubmitted. Three at¬ 
tacks were made by the Audrians, which proved abortive; 
and they retreated with precipitation.. Prince Murat’s 
referve came up at Burgatt, and cut off the retreating 
enemy in the night. In this ad'air, which r took place on 
the 9th of October, the Audrians lod 2500 men in killed, 
wounded, and prifoners, including the garrifon at Gunf¬ 
burgh. The French lod only four hundred in killed and 
wounded. The Andrian general d’Afpre was among the 
prifoners. 
The aftions of Albeck, Elchingen, and the capture of 
Ulm, Munich, and Memmingen, rapidly followed the 
affairs of Wertingen and Gunfburgh. Marefchal Soult 
marched with his divifion to Landfberg, where he cut off 
the chief communications of the enemy. He arrived on 
the nth, at four o’clock in the afternoon, and met the 
regiment of cuiradien of prince Ferdinand, who, with fix 
pieces of cannon, were repairing in forced marches to 
Ulm. The 26th regiment of French chaffeurs charged 
this regiment, killed many of them, took 120 prifoners, 
one lieutenant-colonel, two captains, and two pieces of 
cannon. On the 13th, marefchal Soult arrived before 
Memmingen, immediately inveded the town ; and, after 
fome negociation, the commandant capitulated. Nine bat¬ 
talions of Audrian corps were made prifoners ; a major- 
general, three colonels, many other field officers, with ten 
pieces-of cannon, baggage, and ammunition. The Auf- 
trians evacuated Gunfburgh early on the 10th, where 
marefchal Ney arrived at noon with his head quarters, and 
the French occupied that city, drawing up their corps 
along the left bank of the Danube to Langenau and Al¬ 
beck, where another engagement took place, in which the 
Andrians fudained a great lofs in killed and wounded, 
and a number of them were taken prifoners. The Auf- 
trians retired to Heidelmfheim on the 13th, where they 
found a part of the baggage belonging to the French corps 
which had made an attack at Albach on the nth. 
Marefchal Bernadotte made a forced march on the nth, 
and pufhed his advanced guard to within two leagues of 
Munich. The baggage of feveral Audrian generals fell 
into the hands of his light troops. He made a hundred 
prifoners from different regiments. Marefchal Davoud 
alfo advanced towards Dachau. His van reached Moifach. 
The huffars of Blankendein were attacked by his chaf¬ 
feurs, and in different actions he took fixty horfemen pri¬ 
foners. Marefchal Bernadotte arrived before Munich on 
the 12th, at fix o’clock in the morning; he entered the 
city, and made 800 prifoners; and then fet out in purfuit 
of the archduke Ferdinand, who had retired from Mu¬ 
nich for Ulm. On the 15th, Bernadotte had pudied his 
advanced pods as far as Wafferbourg and Haag, on the 
route to Brannau; he took 500 priioners, and feventeen 
pieces of cannon ; having thus taken, fince his entry at 
Munich, 1500 prifoners, 19 field pieces, 200 horfes, and a 
great quantity of baggage, without the lofs of a fugle man! 
On the 13th, the emperor Napoleon harangued the 
grand army in the camp before Ulm, obferving to them, 
that a great battle was now to be fought, and that the 
enemy was nearly in the fame fituation in which the army 
of Melas was at Marengo, having almod all its commu¬ 
nications cut off. He caufed each regiment to form a 
circle, and he animated his foldiers to combat fatigue by 
Vol. VII. No, 475.

tire force of his own example, who had not taken off his 
boots for eight days. His fird operation was to take pof* 
feffion of the bridge and the pofition of Elchingen. On 
the 14th, at day.break, marefchal Ney paffed the bridge 
at the head of Loifon’s divifion. The enemy mod drenu- 
oufly difputed his taking poffeffion of Elchingen, and 
oppofed to him a front of fixteen thoufand men ; but on 
the fird affault they fell back to their entrenchments, 
with the lofs of three thoufand men made prifoners. Or> 
the 15th, at day-break, Napoleon appeared at the head of 
his troops, and drew them up before Ulm. The corps of 
prince Murat, and thofe of marefchals Ney and Lafnes, 
ranged tliemfelves in the fird line, to make the affault, and 
force the Audrian entrenchments. General Marmont, in 
the mean while, with the divifion of difmounted dragoons 
of general Baraguay d’Hilliers, blockaded the town on the 
right bank of the Danube. Every thing indicated the 
approach of a general and decifive battle ; but to the ado- 
nifliment of the w'orld, general Mack, w ith an army of 
thirty-three thoufand men, drongly fortified, and abound¬ 
ing in provifions, capitulated without even attempting to 
drike a blow. The archduke Ferdinand had previoufly 
retreated towards Biberach, which was taken by marefchal 
Soult on the 15th, and prince Murat’s cavalry was dif- 
patched in purfuit of the archduke, whofe fituation was 
extremely critical ; but he effected his efcape. On the 
17th of October, general Mack fubmitted to the following 
terms of capitulation: 
Article 1. The city of Ulm fliall be furrendered to the 
French army, with all the magazines and artillery.—2.

fon on the 20th. There were then at Ulm 29,000 men,
