We have received an account from the army.of
Italy, of great cruelties excrcifed by the Italians
on our troops, during Wurmfer's invalion. The
news of our defeat was diffufed through the dates
of Venice, where joy shone on every countenance,
•nd where the most severe epigrams were circulated
against the French—After tbe battle of S*lo, the
wounded were sent to the hospital at Cremona }
not a carriage could he frfund 011 the road to carry
them thither; notwithstanding their wounds they
were obliged to make a forced march on foot ; se
veral of them dropped down on the road, covered
with blood, and groaning with pain ! The peal'ants
insulted them, spit in their faces, and left them to,
perilh. The governor of Azola fujfered them to
pass the night in the streets, refufing to give them
either provision or shelter.
At CanalMaggiore the military chest was pil
laged in passing the Po ; a erowd of people assem
bled at the found of the alarm bell, which was the
signal of mafiacre j a great number of Frenchmen
were unaffected with pitchforks and bludgeons, and
thrown into the Po. The Italians, and particu
larly the Venetians, tore their flefli with their nails
and teeth; a French commandant was affiffinated
by jhefe cannibals, in the presence of his wife and
childien, who had embarked on the Po. After
they had mutilated him, the\ threw his msngled
limbs into the boat in which his family were, who
shrieked with horror Tl roughout ths Milancfe,
even at Parma and Piacenza, the French were in'

was v»ounced, when those men who the day be

BALTIMORE, Odober 24. ]
Jottrdan, it appears, has met with a second de- <
feat, and Moreau another vi&ory. There seems in '
this, U.mething like anothpr crossing-os the-Rhine (
affair, between the two generals, to give the latter '
an opportunity of passing the Danube, and fecur- '
tng.its banks, down 10 the river Inn ; from which
to Vienna is only about 50 miles, and no other ri- 1
vei fufficicntly large, in the least to retarci the march
of victorious army. If this be the objedt of Jour
dan's feigning a defeat, our next advices will very
probably inform us of the total rout of the army
both of the archduke and Wartenfleben, by the
former, and of the running of parcllcls before the '
walls of Vienna, by the latter ;~and that (Mantua
being taker.) the whole army of Italy is callcd to
their ?.ffi3st)ce to make a ftn-ihing- (bake, a'nJ plant
