[ On the 26th inft. the French made a general at- tack upon Beaulieu's army which extended from Verona to Rovevedo and confided of no more than 14,000 men, infantry, cavalry and the late rein forcements from Germany included ; they repulsed the Aullrian light-horse and compelled Beaulieu to rttrfat. It is therefore believed that the Auftrians crossed i the Adige and took the road to Trent. They 1 eould consequently not fall in with the corps of a- < bout 30,000 Republicans of General Kellerman's ' army which passed through Brescia and filing along the lake Di Garda advanced through Valteline in order to reach the road of Rovetedo and cut off the retreat of Beaulieu. It is supposed that Mantua was invested after this < battle. The garrifim of that place does not amount ' to more than 7000 men, which could not find time to join Bea'ulieu's aimy after his defeat. General Rofelmini commands the troops in the fortrefs and the General of Engineers Orlandim dire&s the artillery. The fortreis is provided with amnHunition and above three hundred pieces of ar tillery, but provisions are very scarce. Before the place was blocked up the inhabilants sent to Ferra ra for a lupply of provisions; but the papal legate in that city prohibited immediately the exportation. BOLOGNA, M»y3«- The Cardinal Archbilhop of this eity. has ad dressed a circular letter -to all the mDnafteries, con vents, panfhes, Sec, by which he, being authorised theieto by the Pope, ordains and commands, that all the ehutch plate, gold and silver vases not indif penflbly necessary (hall be weighed and kept ready, for the u(e of the state. The Arehbifhop exhorts the superiors, Sec. of the monasteries, convents, parilhes, See. to be faith ful and punctual in fending within siva days, the demanded fpecification of all the plate, gold and silver vases exiftmg in their refpeftive houses. The prelates observe here: We ought to re aiembcr that are citizens all and every one of us. We ought therefore all to partake of the bur den which divine justice choofcs to inflict upon 11s. He concludes by assuring them that no more of the plate than is indifpenfibly necessary, (hall be taken, r;d that the state obliges itfelf to pay to the re- churches the annual interest proportionate to the intrinftcal value of the plate.
