After the battle of Lody, Beauheo crossed the Oglin and the Mincio: He inclined hi. rijtht to the Lake of Garda ; h ; s left on Mantua, and erect I ed batteries on all the angle. of this fcne, in order rop, to defend the passage of the Mimco. Au Head qu rter* were eftabbfh>d on the 9th a mot Brescia. I ordered the general of division, K.l- just, niaine, to march with..,500 eawlry, and 6i bat- rem talions of prtnaiiers to Defmzanno, and General the Rufea with a half brigade of I ght infantry to n to Lalo. My intention was to ."dnce Beaulieu o rem believe that I wanted to turn hi* flank by the up- tW c perp , rt c f the lake to cut off the °f the and Tvrol on the f.de of Riva. I kept all the d.vif.ons p U tof the army in,the rear, infomuch-ihaf my right, he with which I teallv meant to attack htm, was only the one dav and a half's march from the enemy,! ' then plaeed the a. ay behind the river Che..ifa, , he where it appeared t« be on the defenfivewin Ift ma General Kilmaine advanced to the p ds of Perflie- tua ra, and daily had Come (kirmifhes with the advanc- has ed pod. of the enemy, in ore of which the Au ftrian General, Lieptay, was Hilled. the On the iotb the division of General Angereau h, s relieved that of General 'Kilmaine, which retro traded to Lonado, and a-rived that eventng at Ca fiialiona. General Maffena was then at mount Chearo, and General Se ri.rier at Montz. At 2 o'clock, A. M. all the dijNfions wero in motion, directing their march towards Borghetto, where I H had determined to cross the Minico. The enemy s tanguard, confining of 3 or 4.000 infantry, and of I,Boo'hotfe, defended the approach of Borgh ctto. Out cavalry, on a flow trot, flanked and followed by our carabineers and grenadiers, charg ed them with much bravery, put *e enemy's ca. nc valry it! disorder, and took from them a P>ece of te artillery. The enemy then ctoffed the bridge, de- w rnolilhkig one of its arches. The light artillery n< immediately engaged. We were endeavoring with c much difficulty to mend it ur.der the fire of the enemy's batteries, when about 50 grenadier., with g General Gardenne, a grenadier in height, as well « a 9 courage, at their head, threw themselves .n-the b river (the water beinf up to their chins) holding ft their muflce.s over their heads. The enemy, be_ n lieving they saw the dreadful column that attacked chem at the bridge of Lody, flew Ihe bndge e vas menred with ease ; our grenadier, mftamly passed the Mincio, and possessed themselves of Va- L.io, tie head quarter, of Beaul.eu, who had 4 •mil left it. However, the enemy daggered, and < partly roamed, were drawn up in order of battle, J between Valeggio and Villa Franca, but we took < pood care not to follow them. They appeared to , rally and their batteries were enereafed and moved I towards us. This was what I wished. 1 had much ado to contain the impatience, or rather the fury of the grenadiers In the mean time Gen. Angereau crossed the Mm cio • he had orders to move towards Perthiera, fol lowing the bank, of this river, and cut off the pafe off the Tyrol from the enemy. Beiuhea and the wrecks of his army, would then have been completely fnrrounded without a possibility of retreating. In or- Her to prevent the enemy from feeing the movement of General Angereau, I caused them to be vigorously ca nof.adcd from Valeggio ; h*t being inftroaed by their patroles, of Gene"!
