The ge -1 neral opinion was, that the Aufltianswould feou be f i in polTtffion of Milan. On the 11 in, at 3 o'cloek v 3 in the morning, general Mafiena's divifiao was at- - 3 tacked by very numerous forces, >nd compelled to ~i give up the important io(k of Corona. At the . fame time, a detachmei • of- 15,000 Auftrians fur -1 prised general Soret's division at Salo, and obtain ) rd possession of that important pelt. Guieux, ge f neralof brigade, with 600 men of the 15th demi- 1 bi-age of light infantry, shut ttemfelves Up in a j l very large house at Salo, and thence braved the ef- 5 forts of the enemy, who furrouuded tbtir position. I Rufca, geneial of brigade, was wounded. 3 "While a detachment of the enemy's HiviCos ( j . blocked tip general Guieux at Salo, another pro j ceeded to Brescia, surprised the French who wete * S there, took four companies, whom I had (tation- . ed there for the defence of the plact; 24 men be- j Urging to the 25th regiment of cbaG'eurs, two ge* jj 1 nerals, and several officers ®f diitinftion, who re mained on account o{ ir.difpofition. General So c ret's divilion, which was to have covered Brescia, V r retreated to Defenzano. In this dilemma, and preflVd by a formidable army elated by their recent r success, I felt-the necessity of adopting some prompt and vigourous expedient. The enemy, in their de ; scent from the Tyrokfe by way of Brescia iisd the j Adige, placed mc in the ccntre of their force.— 1 ; The republican army was too wea(t to make a Hand e againtt the enemy's two grand divisions ;it might, I however, engage them fepaiatelv, and this mode of i conduct fcemed preferable, as my position was be tween these divisions. It was therefore possible, by e a rapid retrogade movement, to surround ihfdivi -1 vilion «n its maich to Brescia, to take them pri- ® v foners, or detest them, and thence return with f equal celcrity to the Mincio, at Wurmfer, and o s blige him to retreat to the Tyrolefe ; but in order to carry this projedt into effect, it v.ould be necef - firy in 24 hours, to raise the siege of Mantua, £ f which was on the point of being taken, as the gaur- j. risen did not pofleji the means us defence for fix e hour? longer. "-For the completion of this enter- j prise, it would be necessary to recrcl's the plains of n Mincio, and prevent the enemy's divisions from fur- v " r rounding me. Fortune has favouied the tnterprifr, and the battle of Defenzano, the two battles of C t Salo, the engagement at Lonado, and the brilliant ! vidlory at Calliglioue, are the effedfs of it. "Untheizth, in the evening, all the divisions C were on their march towaids Urefcia. The Auf if trian divilion, which had taken poffrffion of that ° - place, was now at Lonado. •' On the IJth, 1 ordered guneral Soret to re- ' pair to Salo, to relieve general Cuki.x, and general Dailemange to attack arid retake Jionado at any c price. Soret succeeded completely in extricating, Guieux at Salo, after having beaten ta ken two ftandatds, two picces of cannon, and about two hundred prisoners. General Guitux, and the v troops under his command, had remained 48 hours , | without biead, continually fighting again ft the ene- c ■ m y* _ h . !

The 15th regiment of dragoons attacked the Hulaus, and r«took our pieces of artillery. I ordered my aid-de-carop, Ja > not, to put himfclf at the head of my company of guide*, to observe th: enemy, to get befote them if pofiible, Ltefenzano, and to oblige them by that means to retreat towards Salo. On his) arrival at DJfenrano, he there found Col. Bender with r{y of his regiment, of Hulans, v.hom he attacked. Janof, not widiinjj raeiely to cfct off their rear, made a circuit with a part of his troop, took the regiment in front, wounded the co lonel, arid was about to take him prisoner, when he wjis himfelf surrounded. He killed fix men wit,h his ownbatid, but was a! lingth overpowered, thrown into a ditch, and received 6 wounds, of which lam given to hope none is mortal. The eutnuy ef fected lheir retreat to Salo; but finding that placc in our power, this division waudered through tlje mountains, and was for the greater part taken.— During this time gen. Arigerauattacked C*ftiglione took that place, and in. the courfc of the (lay he sustained feviral-obilinate eftior.s with the enemy, who were double his number. Artillery and in fantry all did their duty, and the enemy on this memorable day, was completely beaten ou all fides. They loft 20 pieces of cannon, from two to three thousand men killed or wounded, and we made four thousand prisoners, amonpft whom are three gene rals. We loft the gen. Beyrand. This loss is much felt by the army, and particularly by me. 1 esteemed most highly the warlike and the moral cha-; rafter of this brave man. Potrrallier, chief of the • 4th demi-biigade of infantry ; Bourgon, chief of the firll regiment of huflarj, arid Mermet, chief of the 22d regiment of chaflcurs were also killed Tire 41 h derm-brigade, attbe head of which adjutant gen.

Ed to Gavardo, defeated the enemy, and made a great number of prisoners. But not being properly supported by the lcftofh/s division, he was sur rounded, and could not effect his retreat but by cut ting hie wsy through the enemy. " I sent gen. Hilaire to Salo to aft in concert with gen. Guicux, to attack the enemy's division at Ga vardo, ana so free the road into tire Tyrolefe. Af ter a briflc action we iefeated the enemy and made 1800 prifoncis. " On the whole of the 17th, Wurmfcr was em ployed iu coilefting the remains of his army, in bringing up his reserve, and drawing what 1 en forcements he could from Mantui. He then drear nparr order on the plain between the vil lage of Scsßnelof, which supported his right, and Chiefa, vhitfe covered his left wing. " 't'he late of Italy was not yet decidcd. The enemy collected an atmy of 25,000 men, a nume rous cavalry, and fcemed to leave the result in d%ubt ful leaks. On my lide orders were given to con centrate all the divisions of the atmy. l( 1 haftencd to Lonado to ascertain the number of troops that could be detached from it, but how great was my furpnze, on arriving at that place to receive a deputation who had ccme to fumtnon the | governor to Surrender, because said the officer it is completely invefled, and cannot be relieved. ttcm the pickets of cavalry I Concluded that different columns were approaching our principal guard, and that the road from Brcicia to Lonado was already intercepted at thp bridge of St. Marco I was then convinced that the communication could only be intercepted by the wrecks of the van. quiftud division, who having collided after the de feat were endeavouring to effect a passage. The conjuncture was extremely embarraffirrg. At Lo nado 1 had not abow J2OO men ; 1 ordered the meflVngtr to be brought to ree, and made him take the bandage off his eyes. 1 told him, that if his general had the effro levy to take the cammatidcr in chief of the army of italy, he had only to advance; that he ought to know that I was at Lonado, as e very one knew tlijrt the repubh an army ,va» at placc ; that all tile of&ctrs belonging to the division should be rciponfible for the persona! inlult . he had been guilty or towards me ; and 1 allured : him that if his divifit.fi did not in the space of 8 mi- < . nutcs lay down their i'tms, I would not flvew mtrcy 1 to one of them.

" I was soon infoimed that these troops, after remaining a short time in these two plates, conti. 1 nued their route towards Egra ; thus, having no thing to fear on th s fide, 1 did not hesitate imme diately grrirTg-xjrdtrrraTvvo divifiorrs 0:i my left to crofs-the Rednitz, in orcler to proceed to Fcrcheim ' and Ebcrmanftadt, whilst the division on my established themselves on the river Rauh Eberach. ' This movement was executed on the 6th, -when a moll bloody engagement totik place between cavalry of the enemy and that of ths division of general Lefebvre. The enemy occupied a camp at Ahendorf, and pushed their advanced potts trom Strullendorf to a league and a. half beyond Bijre* ' berg. The plain beyond tiiis village vias very ex ' tensive, and prefeuted the great eft advantage to him who should employ the greatest natnber of cava'.ry. 1 Under circumflandej the enemy anticipated' the moll brilliant fucccfs. " In the mean time, however, the cavalry of general Lefebvre ai rived ; it was composed of three '■ fquadrona of the fir It regiment, of three of the ninth regiment of c l iffeurs, and of the eighth re -1 giment of cuirsffiers; thfy had scarce taken brea:b before they formed into a column, and gave (ignal ■ of battle. They advanced jvith the grcateft impe- ' tuofity on the viHage of Strullendorf. attacked and ■ carried the fitft ports of ihe enemy, crofTtd the village- of 1 Herfcherd, and appeared .011 the plain before an enemj- far iiipeiiot in numbers. Here i they charged, and the enemy not being able to re sist the firlt check, gave way and retreated in difor ; <ier, but soon profiting of their fapeiiotity, they felkupon our left, and threatened our flank. Ge- ' neral Jlichpanfe, who perceived it, advanced with foiae companies to meet them ; the conflict now was most obtlinate, and the eonfufien extreme; in the mean time each rallied at the voice of his commander, and were soon found at their proper flat ions. " We charged a second time,-a»d the enemy \vereahout to carry the village, when Captain Prud hemme, of th? full regiment of Cha'fleurs, by hit voice, his course and firmnefs,,prevented this re tiogade movement, and ;igain rallied the troops to battle. Notwithftandirag the valour of our troops, the enemy by a Jaft attempt, had nearly determined the vittory on their part, if in ludt ibftant the Bth regiment of Cuirassiers had not appeared. Thiy • advanced from the village of Herfctieid with an impetuosity not to be described, revived the cou rage of the Chafieurs, fell upon the enemy, repul sed v them and put them to flight. The Ctiaffcurs soon took the advantage, they were for a moment about to lose, and pursued the er.cmy, who, So pre vent our pursuit, fired without dillinction upon their troops and ours, both from mtilquetry and from the artillery which they had placed at the village of AlteiidorlF to piote£t their retreat. " General Lefebvre, having obtained his object, put an end to the' action, and contented biniMf with making t!i* troops of the division which had begun to defile, take, under the fire ut his artillery the ground which he had ordered them to occupy.
