Abstract of the Seventh Bulletin. Elchingen, Oct. 19-On the 18th Prince Murat arrived at Nordlingen, and surround-keep their arms, shall receive passports to go. ed the division of Gen. Werneck, who capitulated, and is a prisoner on parole, with 7 other generals. The soldiers will be sent to France as prisoners. It is asserted, that the reserve artillery of the Austrian army, consisting of 500 carriages, is taken. Prince Ferdinand has now but few men left.After an audience which the Emperor granted to Gen. Mack this afternoon, Marshal Berthier and that general signed an addition to the capitulation, purporting that Ulm must be evacuated by the Austrian garrison on the 20th. There are at Ulmı 27,000 men, 3000 horses, 18 generals, and from 60 to 80 pieces of cannon, with their horses. We become more certain every day that there are not 20,000 men escaped of that army of 100,000 men, and this extraordinary advantage has been obtained without

Eighth Bulletin of the Grand Army. Elchingen, Oct. 20.-The Emperor took his station, from 2 in the afternoon to 7 in the evening, on the heights near Ulm, where the Austrian army marched past him. The French army were posted on the heights.. The Emperor, surrounded by his life-guards, sent for the Austrian generals, and kept them with him until their troops had filed off. He treated them with the utmost distinction. There were present, besides the General in Chief, Mack, eight generals, and seven lieutenant-generals. The number of

prisoners since the commencement of hostilities, amounts to 60,000, and 80 standards have been taken, besides artillery, baggage, &c. It is supposed that the Emperor, after dispatching his couriers, will set out this evening for Augsbourg and Munich.

of war, who will speedily pass through France; they will observe with their own eyes the spirit which animates my people, and with what eagerness they flock to my standards. This is the prerogative of my nation, and my condition. At a single word 200,000 volunteers crowd to my standard, and in six weeks become good soldiers; whereas your recruits only march from compulsion, and do not become good soldiers but after several years. I would give my bro

piece of advice: let him hasten to make peace. This is the crisis when he must recollect all states must have an end. The idea of the approaching extinction of the dynasty of Lorraine must impress him with terror. I desire nothing upon the Continent. I want ships, colonies, and con merce; and it is as much your interest as mine that I should have them." M. Mack replied, that the Emperor of Germany had not wished for war, but was compelled to it by Russia. If that be the case,' said the Emperor, then you are no longer a power.* -Most of the generals have confessed how disagreeable this war was to them, and how much they were affected to see a Russian army in their country. They rejected a blind system of politics, which would bring into the centre of Europe a people accustomed to live in an uncultivated country, and in the field, and who, as well as their forefathers, might once take a fancy to settle in a milder climate. The Emperor has treated Lieut. Gen. Klenau (whom he knew as commander of the regiment of Wurmser) with much civility, as also the Lieut. Generals Ginlay, Gottersheim, Ries, and the Prince of Lichtenstein, &c. comforting them in their misfortunes, and telling them that war has its chances, and that they who had frequently been conquerors might be conquered once.

Elchingen, Oct. 21.-The Emperor has just issued the annexed proclamation with decrees. He set off for Augsburgh at noon this day. We are now in possession of anther the Emperor of Germany one further accurate list of the army which was shut up in Ulm. It consisted of 33,000 men, to which number the 3000 wounded being added, the total amounts to 36,000. There were also found in the place 60 pieces of artillery, and 50 stand of colours. There cannot be a more striking contrast than the spirit of the French and the Austrian armies. In the French army heroism is carried to its extreme point. In the Austrian army discouragement is at its height. The soldier is paid with notes; he can send nothing home; and is very ill treated. The French think of nothing but glory. A thousand traits like the following might be cited: Brard, a soldier of the 76th, was going to have his thigh amputated; death had Jaid hold of him. As the surgeon was preparing to perform the operation, he stopped him:- I know that I shall not survive; what does it signify? A man the less will not prevent the 76th from marching against the enemy, with the bayonet in front, and in three ranks.'-The Emperor has had occasion to complain of nothing except the excessive ardour of the soldiers. The 17th light infantry, for example, which arrived before Ulm during the capitulation, rushed into the place in such a manner, and the whole army were anxious to storm it, that the Emperor was obliged to declare it as his positive intention that the place should not be stormed.-The first column of the prisoners at Ulm has just begun its march for France. The following is a statement of the total of the prisoners, with their present situation : 10,000 at Augsburgh, 33,000 at Ulm, 12,000 at Donauwerth, and 12,000 already on their march for France.-The Emperor addressed the Austrian generals, whom he sent for, as their army were filing past him, in the following terms: "Gentlemen, your master carries on an unjust war. I tell you plainly, I know not for what I am fighting; I know not what can be required of me. It is not in this army alone that my resources consist, though were that the case I should still be able to make head with it; but I shall appeal to the testimony of your own prisoners

Proclamation of the Emperor Napoleon to the Soldiers of the Grand Army; dated Elchingen. From the Imperial Head-quar ters, Oct. 21, 1805.

Soldiers of the grand army,-In 15 days we have made a campaign. What we proposed is accomplished. We have chaced the troops of the House of Austria from Bavaria, and re-established our ally in the sovereignty of his states. That army, which, with equal ostentation and impudence, came to place itself upon our frontiers, is annihi lated. What signifies it to England? Her object is accomplished. We are no longer at Boulogne, and her subsidy will be neither more nor less. Of 100,000 men which composed that army, 60,000 are prisoners: they

for the army and the national guards. He has also made a present to the Elector of Wirtomberg of six pieces of Austrian cannon. During the manoeuvre of Ulm, the Elector of Wirtemberg was for a moment apprehensive for his Electress and family, who then went to Heidelberg, and he disposed his troops to defend the heart of his states. The Austrians are detested by all Germany, well convinced that, without France, Austria would treat them like its hereditary states. No idea can be formed of the misery of the Austrian army; they are paid in notes, by which they lose 40 per cent. Our soldiers pleasantly call the Austrians paper soldiers. They are without any credit. The House of Austria could not any where borrow ten thousand francs. The generals themselves have not seen a piece of gold for several years. The English, when they heard of the invasion of Bavaria, made a little present to the Emperor of Austria, which has not rendered him more rich; they have engaged to remit him the 48 millions which they had lent him during the last year. If this be an advantage to the House of Austria, it has already paid pretty dear for it.

Address of the Emperor Napoleon to his Soldiers, the Evening before the Surrender of Ulm.

you are fighting against the allies of England; that you have to avenge yourselves on a perjured Prince, whose Own letters breathed nothing but peace, at the moment when he was marching his army against our ally; who thought us cowardly enough to suppose that we should tamely witness his' passage of the Inn, his entrance into Munich, and his aggression upon the Elector of Bavaria. He thought we were occupied elsewhere; let him, for the third and last time learn, that we know how to be present in every place where the Country has enemies to combat.Soldiers, to-morrow will be an hundred times more celebrated than the day of Marengo. I have placed the enemy in the same position.-Recollect,' that the most remote posterity will remark the conduct of each of you on this memorable day. Your progeny 500 years hence, who may place themselves under those eagles around which we rally, will know in detail every thing that your respective corps shall achieve to-morrow, and the manner in which your courage shall confer on them eternal celebrity. This will constitute the perpetual subject of their conversation; and, from age to age, you will be held up to the admiration of future generations.-Soldiers, if I wished only to conquer the enemy, I should not have thought it necessary to make an appeal to your courage, and your attachment to the country and to my person; but merely to conquer him is doing nothing worthy either of you or your Emperor. It is necessary that not a man of the enemy's army shall escape; that that Government, which has violated all its engagements, shall first learn its catastrophe by your arrival un-' der the walls of Vienna; and that, on re

Soldiers, a month ago we were encamped on the shores of the ocean opposite to England; but an impious league compelled us to fly towards the Rhine.It is but a fortnight since we passed that river, and the Alps of Wirtemberg, the Necker, the Danube, and the Lech; those celebrated bárriers of Germany have not retarded our march a day, an hour, or an instant. In-ceiving this fatal intelligence, its conscience, dignation against a Prince whom we have twice reseated on his throne, when it depended entirely on our pleasure to hurl him from it, supplied us with wings. The Enemy's army, deceived by our manœuvres, and the rapidity of our movements, is completely turned. It now fights only for its safety. It would gladly embrace an opportunity of escaping and returning home; but it is now too late. The fortifications which it erected at a great expence along the Iller, expecting that we should advance through the passes of the Black Forest, are become useless, since we have approached by the Plains of Bavaria.-Soldiers, but for the army which is now in front of you, we should this day have been in London; we should have avenged ourselves for six centuries of insults, and restored the freedom of the seas. But bear in mind, to-morrow, that

if it listens to the voice of conscience, shall tell it, that it has betrayed both its solemn promises of peace, and the first of the du ties bequeathed by its ancestors, with the power of forming the rampart of Europe against the eruptions of the Cossacks. Soldiers, who have been engaged in the affairs of Wertingen and Guntzburgh, I am satisfied with your conduct. Every corps in the army will emulate you, and F shall be able to say to my people, Your Emperor and your army have done their duty. Perform your's. and, the 200,000 conscripts whom I have summoned will has ten, by forced marches, to reinforce our ses cond line. (Signed) NAPOLEONI
