Mathausen, near Euns, Oct. 30. God knows whether you will receive this letter, or what will become of me. We are in the most uncertain state, and know nothing po sitive. I arrived on the 25th at Voglabruck. Every body thought of flying. People fied in the utmost confusion, naming our Emperor as the cause of all our evils. On the 26th I could not go to Lambach on account of the Russians, who were retreating with all their depots. These uncivilized beings are as great a scourge as the grasshoppers, or the French were in Egypt. They are thievish, stupid, and inexorable. On the 27th I went to Wels, where I saw 20,000 of these inhabitants of Tauris, and also the person so huch to be pitied, our Monarch. He was pale, emaciated, and his eyes wandering. He was going to Brannau. In eight days the Emperor Alexander is expected. On the 23th our battalion will set out for Lintz. (Signed) P. Enns, Oct. 31. This day 24,000 Russians have returned here; they have traversed the city. I do not know where this army will be stationed, some think in Bohemia, others suppose in Lower Austria, where they will wait for their Emperor. We are constantly shut up; we dare not appear at our doors or windows. By adopting this precaution we have hitherto escaped bad treatment; but, alas! we see what our neighbours suffer. The order of the regency is, to give to each Russian one pound and a half a day of meat, four pounds of bread, twelve potatoes, and a jug of beer. They have no sooner dined than they want their supper; as soon as they have that they call for their next day's breakfast; and as soon as they are satisfied they beat their unfortunate hosts. Some poor families have twenty, and some as many as 80, to lodge. Excuse the confusion of this letter: in our present situation every body's head seems to be turned. (Signed) E. Vienna, Oct. 29.--The aspect of affairs is very melancholy at Vienna, for the citi zens are obliged to mount guard. All foreigners are ordered to quit Vienna in eight days, and the Hereditary States in ten days. No carriage can quit Vienna without a passport from the police. All the inhabitants are called out for the defence of the country. In a word, it seems as if the enemy was close to us. No young man is seen in the streets for fear of being taken by the soldiers. Every one is taken who is capable of carrying arins. The order for the levy-en-masse is posted up every where. (Signed) R. Vienna, Nov. 2.-We were yesterday in the greatest anxiety, but two couriers who arrived successively brought good news. They say that the Archduke John has beat | the French, and that the French army is surrounded on the Inn, and are on the point of laying down their arms. We did not at first believe this news, but an Imperial order was issued for the clergymen to discontinue the packing up the plate of the churches. (Signed) T. Vienna, Nov. 4.-Every person of any property has within these few days made preparations for their departure for Hungary, The road to Presburg is covered. Nothing can be more unjust than the general recruiting, which is going on without respect of age or rank. The Bank 'paper is no longer paid. All the plate of the churches is packed up. (Signed) F.

That gene ral made his escape, with about 100 Hulans. General Marmont is at Leoben, where he took about 100 horse. Prince Murat had been for three days within half a league of Vienna. All the Austrian troops had already evacuated the town. The national guard did the duty there; it was excellently disposed. On this day, the 13th, the French troops entered the caj -The Russians declined all the temptations that were held out to them to engage on the heights of St. Polten. They passed the Danube at Krems, and, immediately after they had got over, they burned the bridge, which was very handsome.On the 11th, at day-break, Marshal Montier, with six battalions, advanced towards Stein. He reckoned upon finding the rear-guard there; but the whole of the Russian army was there, their baggage not having passed by. The battle of Dierstein then took place, which will be for ever celebrated in military annals. From six is the morning until four in the afternoon, these 4000 brave fellows made head against the entire of the Russian army, and routed all those who were opposed to them Having made themselves masters of the vil lage of Loeben, they thought the labour of the day was over; but the enemy, enraged at having lost ten stand of colours, six piecas of cannon, 900 prisoners, and 2000 killed, had marched in two columns, by difficult passes, to turn the French. As soon as Marshal Mortier perceived this movement, he marched straight against the troops, who had turned him, and cut his way through the enemy's lines, at the very moment that the 9th regiment of light infantry, and the 33d infantry of the line, had charged another Russian corps, and defeated it, after having taken two stands of colours and 400 privoli ers.

General Gazan, on this occasion displayed a great share of bravery and con duct. The Russians, the day after the battle, evacuated Krems, and quitted the Danube, leaving 1,500 prisoners in a state of the greatest want. We found in their field hospitals, a great many wounded, who died in the night.-It appeared to have been the intention of the Russians to wait for reinforcements at Krems, and to maintain their position on the Danube. The battle of Diernstein disconcerted their plan. They could perceive, from what 4000 French had done, what they were to expect from an equal force-Marshal Mortier set out in pursuit of them, while other divisions of the army passed the Danube, by the bridge of Vienna, to outflank them on the right; and the corps of Marshal Bernadotte marches to turn their left wing.-Yesterday, the 13th, at ten in the morning, Prince Murat passed through Vienna. At the break of day, a column of cavalry advanced to the bride over the Danube, which it passed, after son e conferences with the Austrian generals: 7 enemy's engineers, which were ordered to burn the bridge, attempted it often, bit could not succeed.-Marshal Lannes and General Bertrand, aides-de-camp to the Emperor, were the first who passed over the bridge. The troops did not stop at Vienna, but pursued their march to follow their d were slightly wounded. Colonel Wattier, of the 4th regiment of dragoons, was killed. His Majesty had made choice of him to be one of his equerries. He was an officer of great worth. In spite of the difficulty of the ground, he made a most brilliant charge upon a Russian column; but he was struck by a ball, and died in the contest.-The Russians, it seems, are retreating by forced marches. The Emperor of Germany, the Empress, the ministers, and the court, are at Bruin, in Moravia. All the persons of consequence have quitted Vienna; all the respectable citizens have remained there. The Emperor Alexander is expected at Bruun, on his return from Berlin. Count Giulay has been often backwards and forwards, with letters from the Emperors of France and Germany, to each other. The Emperor of Germany will, no doubt, determine upon peace as soon as he shall have received the consent of the Emperor of Russia. -In the mean time, the dissatisfaction of the people is at its height. They say at Vienna, and in all the provinces of the Austrian monarchy, that they are badly governed; that they have been drawn into this unjust and disastrous war, for the sole advantage of England; that Germany has been inundated by barbarians, a thousand times more to be dreaded than all the plagues together; that the finances are in the greatest disorder; that the public estate, and the fortunes of individuals, are ruined by the existence of a paper circulation, which loses 50 per cent; that they had sufficient misforLunes to surmount, and that the calamities of war should not have been added to them.The Hungarians complain of the illiberality of the government, which does nothing in favour of their industry, and which shews itself continually jealous of their privileges, and uneasy at their national spirit.-In Hun-rection.-Prince Murat established his headgary as well as in Austria, at Vienna as well quarters in the house of Duke Albert.

Thus, almost the whole of the artillery of the Austrian monarchy is in our possession. The palace of Schoenbrunn, in which the Emperor resides, was Built by Maria Theresa, whose portrait is to be found in almost every apartment. In the room in which the Emperor is employed, there is a marble statue of this Sovereign. The Eniperor, on seeing it, remarked, that if that great Queen were living, she would not allow herself to be influenced by the intrigues of such a woman as Madame Colloredo Encircled as she always was with the chief persons of her kingdom, she would have known the inclination of her people; she would not have had her provinces г3vaged by the Cossacks and Muscovites; she would not have consulted, in order to form her determination of going to war with France; a courtier like Cobentzel, who, too well informed respecting court intrigues dreads to oppose a foreign woman, invested with a pernicious authority, which she abuses; a scribe like Collembach; and a man, in short, so universally detested as Lamberti. She would not have given th command of her army to such men as Mack, appointed, not by the choice of the Sovereign, not by the confidence of the nation, but by England and Russia, This, unanimity of opinion, is, in fact, a an extraordinary circumstance, in a nation entirely adverse to the decision of the court. The citizens of every class, the enlightened men, the very princes themselves, oppose the war said, that Prince Charles, on his setting out for Italy, wrote to the Emperor, to shew him the imprtidence of his determination, and foretold him the ruin of the monarchy. The Elector of Saltzburgh, the Archdukes, the principal persons, Beld the same language, It should be a subject of regret to the Contipent, that the Emperor of Germany, who means well, who has clearer views than his ministers, and who, in inany respects, might be a great prince, is so diffident of himself, and lives so much retired. He would learn from the chief persons of the empire, who esteem hint, to set a just value on himself; But not one of them, not one of the men of consequence, who know and regard the inferests of the court, ever approach the inte rior of his palace. This retirement, which 73 imputed to the influence of the Empress, is the cause of the hatred which the nation Has conceived against this princess.

Schoenbrunn, Nov. 16.-Prince Murat, and the corps under Marshal Lannes, came up with the Russian army yesterday at Holebrunn. Our cavalry charged them; but the enemy immediately abandoned the ground, leaving an hundred carriages, with their equipage The enemy having been rein forced, and his dispositions made, an Aus trian flag of truce advanced, and demanded permission for the Russian troops to separate 3117 trom the Austrians, which was granted. Soon after, M. Le Baron De Wintzingerole, Aide-de-Camp General to his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, presented himself to the advanced posts, and demanded leave to capitulate for the Russian army. Prince Murat thought it his duty to assent to this measure; but the Emperor disapproved of it, and immediately set out to the advanced posts. The Emperor's approbation was reinsed, because this capitulation was a species of treaty, and because M. De Wintzingerode was not furnished with full powers on the part of the Emperor of Russia. However, his Majesty, when ordering his army to march, declared, that if the Emperor Alexander, being in the neighbourhood, would ratify the Convention, he was ready, on his part, to do the same. General Vialames, commanding the cavalry of Marshal Davoust, has entered Presburg. General Count Palfy addressed a letter to him, which, with its answer, are subjoined. A corps of 3000 Austrians, being intrenched near Waldcrannchen, General Baraguay D'Hilliers marched against them, at the head of three batalious, when theyabandoned their post with paccipitation.

He turned the fortresses of Scharnitz and Neustark, and carried them by force of arms. On this abcasion, be made 1800 prisoners, a standd, and 16 pieces of cannon (field pieces). On the 16th of Nov, at five in the afternoon, he made his entry into Inspruck, there he found an arsenal. with a respectable artillery, 10,000 muskets, and an immense quantity of powder. The same day He entered Hall, where he also found very Considerable magazines; the inventory of m is not yet arrived. The Archduke John, who commanded in the Tyrol, escapby way of Luchethal.

But to these glorious trophies may be added a scene, which affected the feelings of every soldier. the late war, the 70th regiment of the The lost two standards in the Grison; which cumstance was, for a long time, the subet of deep affliction to the whole corps. Phose brave fellows, conscious that Europe And not forgotten their disgrace, though their rage was uncensurable, were so fortunate to find the subjects of their lost honour the arsenal at Inspruck. Happily they y recognised by an officer. All the solrs crowded around him; and Marshal | Ney, being informed of the particulars, ordered the colours to be restored to the 76th with great ceremony. Tears fell from the eyes of all the veterans; and the Conscripts felt themselves elated, in the assistance they had given in the recovery of the honours snatched from their comrades by the chances of war. The Emperor has ordered, that the remembrance of this affecting scene should be consecrated by a tablet. The French soldier maintains a sentiment for his colours, bordering upon tenderness: they are the object of his affections, equally with a present from his mistress.-General Klein, with his division of dragoons, has made an incursion into Bohemia. He has every where witnessed the horror in which the Russians are viewed by the people. The devastations committed by then make one tremble. The irreption of these barbarians called in by the Government itse.f, has almost extinguished every renmant of affection for their Trince in the hearts of his subjects. We and the French (say the Austrians) are the descendants of the Romans; the Russians are the posterity of the Tartars. We would rather a thousand times. have the French armies against us, than such as the Russians for our allies.'-At Vienna the mere name of a Russian excites terror. These savage hordes are not contented with pillage; they carry off, they destroy every thing. A wretched peasant, whose cottage contains nothing but his clothes, in them excites no pity. The opulent man residing in his palace, would hope in vain to assunge their voracity with his wealth. They would pillage him, and leave him naked under the devastated ruins. Doubtless this will be the last time that an European Government will call in such fatal succours: were it possible they could again try the experiment an insurrection of their own people must be the certain consequence. A hundred years hence it will not be in the power of any Prince to introduce Russians into his States. There are notwithstanding, a great number of officers in this army, men of education, whose nianucrs are polished, and whee ideas are enlarged; but as to what has been said of the army in general, this must always be confined to the natural instinct of the mass of which it is composed.
