-meral Jellachieh, which occupied Munich, is 
pursued by the corps of the Duke of Dantzic. 
The King of Bavaria has shewn himself at 
Munich. He afterwards returned to Augs- 
burg, where he will remain some days, in- 
tending not to fix his residence at Munich till 
Bavarja shall be entirely delivered from the 
enemy. 
On the side of Ratisbon, the Duke of Auer- 
stadt is gone in pursuit ef Prince Charles, who, 
cut off from his communications with the Inn 
and Vienna, has no other resource than that of 
retiring into the mountains of Bohemia, by 
Waldmunchen and Cham. 
With respect to the Emperor of Austria, he 
appears to have been before Passau, in order to 
besiege that place with three battalions or the 
T andwerk. 
"All Bavaria and the Palatinate are delivered 
from the presence of the enemy. 
“At Ratisbon, the Emperor passed several 
corps in review, and caused'the bravest sol- 
diers to be pissented to him, to whom he gave 
distinctions and pensions, and the eater 
officers, to whom he gave baronies and lands. 
Hitherte the Emperor has carried on the 
war almost without equipage and guards ; and 
ene has rematked, thit imthe absence of his 
guard, he had always about him the allied Ba- 
varian and Wirtemberg troops; wishing 
thereby to give them a particular proof of con- 
fidence. 
A report has been circulated, that the Em- 
peror had had his leg broken. The fact is, 
that a spent ball had grazed the heel of his 
boot, but did net ‘ra the skin. Never was 
‘his Majesty in better health, though in the 
midst of the greatest Farid 
It has been remarked as a singular fact, that 
one of the first Austrian Officers made prison- 
ers in this war, was the Aid-de-camp of Prince 
Charles, sent to M. Otto with the famous let- 
ter, purporting that the French army must 
retire. 
The inhabitants of Ratisbon having be- 
haved very well, and evinced that patriotic 
and contederatéd spirit which we have a right 
to expeet from them, his Majesty has ordered 
that the damage dune shall be repaired at his 
expence, and particularly the rebuilding of 
the houses burnt, the expence of which wil 
be several millions. 
Ali the sovereigns and territories of the eon- 
federacy evince the most patriotic, spirit. 
WhentheAustrian Minister, at Dresden, deli- 
vered the declaration ot his court tothe King 
of Saxony, the latter could not contain his 
indignation.—**Y ou wish for war, and against 
whom * You attack and you inveigh against 
aman, who, three years ago, master of your 
destiny, restored your states to you. “Phe pro- 
posals made to me afflict. me: my engage- 
Mnents are Known to. all Europe ; nu: Prince of 
the confederacy will detach IifwyselF irom

peror of Austria’s brother, has shewn the same

sentiments, and has declared, that if the Aus. 
trians advanced to his territories, he should 
retire, if necessary, across the Rhine. So well 
are the insanity and che invective: of Vienna 
appreciated. The regiments of the petty 
Princes, all the allied troops, are cager to 
march against the enemy. 
A notable circumstance, which posterity 
will remark as-a fresh proof of the signal bad 
faith of Austria, isy that on the day she wrote 
the annexed letter to the King z of Bavaria, she 
published in the ‘Tyrol the Proclamation 
signed by General Jellachich. On the same 
day she proposed to the King to be neutral, and 
invited his subjects to rise. How can we re- 
concile this contradiction, or rather how 
justify thisinfamy? hie 
Letter addressed on the 9th April, by the Arche 
duke Charles, to the King of Bavaria, and in- 
_serted in the First Bulietin of the Austrian 
arty. 
‘€S1rE-—I have the honour to inform your 
Majesty, that in pursuance of the declaraiion 
of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria to the 
Emperor Napoleon, I have received orders to 
enter Bavaria with the troops under my com- 
mand, and to treat as enemies those who shall 
offer resistence. 
TT ardently wish, Sire, ht you would lig- 
ten to the desires of your people, who see in us 
none but deliverers — The severest commands 
have been given in order, until your Majesty 
make known your inten’ ions on this head, that 
no hostilities be committed except against the 
enemy ofall political independence in Europes 
It would be very painful tome to tura my 
arms against the troops of your Majesty, and to 
involve your subjects in the miseries of a war, 
undertaken for general liberty, and whose first 
principle ¢xcludes all plan of conquest 5 but if 
the force of circumstances should lead your 
Majesty to a condescension incompatible with 
your dignity, and the happiness of your peo- 
ple, J beg you neverthele:s to be’ convinced, 
that my soldiers will mainiain, under. every
