tempted against them. The rise of the river, 
and the rapidity of the stream, rendet much 
labour-and great caution necessary. 
On the morning of the 22d, when the 
aymy was informed, that the Emperor had 
ordered it to retreat to the great island, no- 
thing could exceed the astonishment of the 
brave troops. Victorious on both days, they 
had supposed thatahe remainder of the army 
had joined them; but when they were told, 
that the high water had carried away the 
bridges, and that its continued increase remn- 
dered a supply of their ammunition and provi- 
sions impracticable, and that any movement 
in advance would be absurd, it was with diffi- 
culty they could be persuaded of the truth of 
the statement. 
That. bridges, constructed of the largest 
boats of the Danube, secured by double an- 
chors and cables, should be carried away, 
was a great and entirely unforeseen disaster ; 
but it was extremely fortunate, that the Em- 
peror was not two hours later in being in- 
formed of it. The army, in pursuing the 
enemy, would have exhausted its ammuni- 
tion, which it would have been impossible to 
replace. 
On_the 25d, a great quantity of ammuni- 
tion was.sent to the camp at Inder-Lobau. 
The battle of Esling, of which a circumstan- 
tial report shall be made,. pointing out the 
brave men who distinguished themselves 
therein, will, in the eyes of posterity, be a 
new memorial of the glory and inflexible 
firmness of the French army. -The Dukes 
of Montebello and Rivoli, on that-day, dis- 
played all the powers of their military cha- 
racter.. The Emperor has given the com- 
mand of the 2d corps to Count Oudinot, 2 
general tried in a hundred battles, in which 
he has always evinced the possession of equal 
ourage and skill.

The Marshal Duke of Dantzic is master of 
the Tyrol, and on the 19th entered Inspruck; 
the whele country has submitted. On the 
4ith, the Duke of Dantzic took the strong 
position of Steub-Pas, with seven cannon and 
6000 men. On-the 13th, after haying de- 
feated and put to flight Chesteller, in the 
position of Yvergel, and taken all his artil- 
lery, he pursued him to beyond Rattenberg, 
athe fugitive being indebted for his safeiy galy 
to the fleetness of his horse. General Deroi 
having raised the biockade of the fortress of 
Kufstein, joined the troops commanded.oy 
the Duke of Dantzic, Chasteller came into 
the Tyrol, with.a handful of wretched rab- 
ble, promoting insurrection, plunder, and 
~murder. He saw massacred, before his eyes, 
several theusauds of Bavarians, and some 
hundreds of French soldiers. The wretch, 
~ overwhelmed with benefits by the Emperor, 
’ -t9 whom he was indebted for the recovery of 
"his property, amounting to several millions,

of the sympathy which even barbarians have 
for their countrymen. The Tyrolese abhor 
those who have excited them to rebellion, and 
brought upon them all the consequent cala= 
mities. Their rage against Chasteller is so 
great, thac, after his flight to Voergel, they 
detained him et Hall, beat him with sticks, . 
and treated him so ill, that he was forced to 
. keep his bed for two days, and could only 
make his appearance to propose a capitula- 
tion: but he was answered, that this would 
not be made with a robber; on which he 
precipitately fled into the mountains of Ca- 
rinthia. The valley of Zillerthal was the 
first to submit, and the rest of the country 
followed the example. All the chiefs com- 
manded the peasants to return-to their dwell- 
ings ; 3 and they were seen to leave the moun- 
tains, and return to the villages. ‘The dis- 
tricts have sent deputations to the King of 
Bavaria, to intreat his clemency. The Vo- 
rarlberg, which had. been misled by the arts 
of the-enemy, will follow the Tyrol, and that 
part of Germany wil! then be delivered from. 
the evils of popular insurrection.

Ebcrsdorf, May 26. 
On the 25d and 24th, the army was em- 
ployed to restore the bridges, which were 
ready the 25th, early in the morning ; and 
the wounded, caissons, &¢c. were removed to 
the right bank of the Danube. The Danube 
being likely to rise till the 45th June, it is 
intended to mark the height of the river, by 
means of two poles driven into the ground, te 
which the large iron cnain is to be fastened, 
which the Turks had destined for the same | 
purpose; but the Austrians took it, and it 
was found in the arsenal of Vienna. This 
measure, and the works which are construct- 
ed on tne left banks of the Danube, will ena- 
ble us to maneuvre on both sides of the 
river. Our light troops have taken post near 
Presburg, on the lake of Neusiedel. General 
Lauriston is in Styria, at Simeringsberg, and 
Bruck. The Duke of Dantzic is hastening, 
by forced marches, at the head of the Bavae 
rian troops, to join the army at Vienna. The 
horse chasseurs of the Imperial Guard ar- 
rived here yesterday ; the dragoons are, ex- 
pected in the course of to-day; and, within a. 
few days, the horse. grenadiers and sixty 
pieces of ordnance will reach this place. By 
the capitulation of Vienna, 7 marshal-lieus 
tenants, -9 major-generals, 10 colonels, 20 
majors and lieutenant-colonels, 100 captains, 
150 lieutenants, 200 second-liewtenants, and 
3090 non-commissioned officers and soldiers, 
were prisoners of war’; exclusively of those 
who were.in the hospital, and whose number 
amounts to some thousands.
