tnucb leisure.
Vou have been informed of the croTing of the t'o, c<
and of what took place i.i the adjacent i J :zzi- e>
ghitton.. We fit oat yetterday from Vlaifance, *ith ar
the commander in chief, for L.LI, which general
lie -.lu-.T, chief of theEtat Major, had taken the day
br' • He;i,e we marched to the vanguard, wh.ch
dnecled its-course towards Lody, in pursuit of the e- > a
nemy. The commander in chief hid so placed the fe- tr
verai division's of the army, tha: within two or three
hours' time, they could join in one point ; his design cf
was to come to a general atffion. A e found before ug, r
at nu great diltance from Lody, a fmill battalion of
Nadafli, and two squadrons cis horse, defending tlie
pafiuge, with four p-eces of cannon An ailion took nt
place ; the enemy aftpr having hajl fever.il men killed,
and loft one piece of cannon, were forced to evacuate bi
the town of Lp,iv a»ju to fall back on the main body of til
their army, -ivhich ltood on the left b.nkof the Adda.
We hid hardly entered Lody, when Bejulicu's army w
began a heavy cannorfade upon ,ihe town. Their de
sign was to hinder the crossing of the bridge which he
had not had time to cut off, and which was •iefended
by 10,000 men, both infantry and horse. General, C
Buonaparte himfelf ran immediately thither, and un- ar
der,a hail of cafe (hot, caused two pieces of cannon to ar
be placed at the entrance of the bridge to liinder the p
enemy attempting to cu it off, an 1 while the
cannonade was going on vigorously an both lUles, be
ordered Angereau, general of a division, to join him m
as soon as pollibte ; he also gave orders, to general Mas- rc
fena, to range under onctoU mn the four th-mfani ca- 21
rabineers and grena iers, and kept every thing ready if
for the crossing of the bridge. cc
That column of republican heroes beipg formed, tf
he went through the different ranks His presence in- a[
ipired the soldiers With rnthufiafm. He was received
with repeated acclamations of "Vive la Republic".
He ordered the tharge to be oeat, and immediately the "
soldiers with the fwiftnefs of lightening rushed on the w
bridge. The heavy fhowerof cannon and mufker-iliot jb\
which the enemy poured on ps, ftopt for t moment the 1 tt
column, and had like to have (haken it ; but t [
Berthier, chief of the etat-major, threw himfelf at £
their head, and being gallantly seconded by Mafieni,
general of a division, and by the genetnls of the bri
gades, Cervoni and d'Allemagne, made them force,
the passage. The grenadiers threw themselves on the fe
enemy's pieces and in an instant carried them away.
Tire ailion continued, and the victory was yet uncer- - c ,
tain, when general Angereau, with a forced march, 0 |
arrived with his division, whole vanguard was com
manded by getierol Rufea, and completed th« defeat of
the en»my. They were driven 01ft of all their po!}s, 31
leaving behind them all their train of artillery, wag
gons and baggage, and the field covered with dead, M
The mult qf the molt glorious viojoi-y of the cam- L
paign, on aceonnt of the obstacles we had to funrfount,
is 1000 men made prisoners, isoo killed or wounded, t;]
100 horses killed, 400 taken, iSor ao pieces of r.an-
no-i aiivl howitzer taken . had it not b.'en for the
nifjht, we should have pieked up the fcatterea remnants
of Beaulicu's army.
There has been on that glorious day as many brave ■
anions performed as there are republicans in the army.
Everyone did his dutv. But I mutt not fail to dwell
on the merit and courage of Marmuate, chief of a
battalion, and Marois, aid de camp to-ths general in
chief. The firft, w/ho on all occasions has difplaycd
as much aflivity as bravery, parried off, at,the head of
a detachment of horse, the firfl piece of cannon from q
the enemy. The other carrying th:general in chief's
orders, palled several times through the cafe fliots of
the enemy, in cool blood with an affi%iirEble intre
pidity. He had his coat all over fifted with balls. S

Defenders of your country,
Again the din of war is re-echoejJ from tht Ranks (
of the Rhine 1 No sooner is the campaign of Italy
opened than conquered kings are compelled to implore f
peace—than the Icaltered remains of arm?es, intend
ing the overthrew of the republic, find ho fafcty but
in a fhamefu! flight, or :u as fhamefully concealing
themselves in impenetrable wootU or peitilential mai ih
es. What madness then can possess the heart of that 1
cruel enemy, vvho in the midst of his own difaflers and
of our triumphs, has had the temerity to break the
truce n hich he himfelf demapded and which you ge
nerously granted him, in tie hopes of an approaching |
peace ? Can he expedl to revenge on you tjie blows
which your invincible brethren have infMed on him
in Italy, andean he already have forgotten the terri
ble proofs you have given him that the fame blood
flows in your veins ? But no j fecure'and far from
your formidable arms, he calculates how many men
will jjcnfh, tow many tears will flow, how many
groan:, will arise, before you can rcach him.
Governed by the inhuman Englilh, lis receives their
gold and their contempt, for the price of hii abje<?t
fubinifiion, and of Ms braveil warriors.
Let vour republican bayonets, ye soldiers of France,
caute those monsters coalesced against the human spe
cies to tremble upon their tottering thrones. Let your
ardent courage overthrow all obstacles. Let this pro
longed combat of the libertv of 1 the people against ty
ranny, ioonceafe, and let those ambitious delp-ts w<bo
yet dare to meet you in tht field, prostrate themselves
at the fight of your viiSorions arras—think of the
catife that you defend—think of your country and your
glory, follow your own examples, and imitate your
brothers of Italy. Signed, CARNOT, President.
