ARMY in ITALY— 2 Floreal, "j
(April 21.) 01
The army of the Republic began its
march from Menton on the 17'h! at .ui
midnight, and after a march of fifteen ol
hours, arrived at Pignon on the 18th; 'I
14 hours afterwards took poffefiion of w
Mount Fanaro, being drenched with ti
rain, snow and whirlwinds, without a tl
mouthful of bread, not a tingle mule
being able to follow our forced marches, h
On the 19th we marched to Molino, lc
and on the 20th to Montalto. This day p
we began to fee some of thb enemy. On tl
the 2tft I marched to Carpaiio, a vil- d
lage occupied by iooo men : I attack- a
ed the steep rock with the grenadiers p
and chafieurs, and we tooK. it under a c
{hower of bullets and rocks, which they j;
rolled down,' whereupon the village na- I
turally became ours. I had but one c
officer killed, and fix men wounded. I
From thence, climbing from rock to f
rock, after a molt dreadful march of t
nine hours, we anived at Mount Pizo, <
where the enemny was In force with ar- 1
tillcry. 1 made my disposition in concert 1
with the commander in chief, who had
joined mc by this time. At night,pro- ]
fitinp by a fog, we mounted, scattered,
and surrounding the mountain in three
points, the signal to attack was not giv
en until after the firit fire of the enemy, j
who fearing the bayonet in their bellies, j
were so frightened, that they betook j
themselves to flight, leaving us one four
Jljundcr and some little baggage.
We took the advantage of their con
sternation to make ourselves matters of
Piedmont with the valley of Oneigla.
On the 22d we marched to Origo,
and the troops having fuffeied much by
the intolerable badness of the weather,
to which they had been constantly ex
po fed, it became necessary to let them
relt, and wait the arrival of provisions.
On the 26th the army marched again
in three columns, the left whereof I
commanded.
On the 27th, after a march of eleven
'lours, we got in fight of the enemy ;
they occupied a redoubt, and to the
right a camp entrenched before, and co
vered in the back by an inacceflible
lock. The situation was excellent, and
capable of (topping at once all other
'troops but Frenchmen ; but our dread
ful charge made the Piedmontefe fly di
redtlv, anil only the Auftrians made a
pietty long refinance.
After that we took the bridge over
the Neve, defended by a battalion of
Capfara, a battalion of Belgiofo, a bat- as v
talion of Aultrian gren idiers, a battali- of I
on of Piedmont grenadiers,a legion and "
some other troops, making in did
men. The river wa, between ; they ed \
cut oft" the bridge, and two pieces of the
cannon defended it, but a cVdfs tire, Fre
wsll directed and well supported, soon moi
put them into amoft complcat disorder. havi
Night coming on, prevented us fram and
reaping all the advantages ol our victo- har<
1-y ; two hours more day, and I (liould ly <
have taken the whole battalion ol Auf- mar
trian grenadiers prisoners.
On the 27th, we took Ormea, where
the feeble garrison, molt of them being
fled, was made prisoners, with one col.
three captains, and about 140 Wen. f L , s
In thele tyvo days 1 o pieces of can-
non, a quantity of elofjies, blankets, .j
flour, grain, muskets, and all kind o. ua
ammunition, together with.Bo,ooo cai-
tridges and four thousand weight of
powder, fell into oUr hands. £
The flight of the enemy was ft) pre
cipitate, that the road from the,bridge
to the town, which is about the distance r y
of a league, was Itrewed with mulkets, |
accoutrimentsj cartridges, dead and j 0
Wounded, bagSj remains of tents, dead
mules, and other articles. • j nol

The representatives of the people with

mailers of Saorgio, ot all the camps of
the Auftrians and Piedmontefe, of 60 1
pieces of cannon, and a great number ou
of mort<irs and howitzers. The enemy ()C
put fire to all they left behind ; but out t he
brave brethren in arms saved the maga- ' vvc
zlnes, killed almost 3000 Haves, and j tr(
made a great many prisoners. The J a ],

» The army of the weitetn Pyrenees •al
. has giveu new inltaiices, of what the 'tl
, love for their country could do. The :t;
f perfidious Spaniard has dared,to attack w
[» the Republicans near Saint-Jean-Pied- ,t]
- de-Port, but has been soon obliged to | c i
- acknowledge the strength of the Re- 1 j
s publicans, to fly before them with very j R
a con(ide,rable loss. The legion of emi- ; t
y grants reinforced by the volunteers of t :
1- Navarre, and other refugees, have been
e cut to pieces. Seventeen of them have Q
1. begi taken, prisoners, who have been v
0 sent to Bayonne. The young men ot t
>f the firlt requisition have particularly
a, diftingui(hed themselves, on this occa
r- (ion they have (hewed prodigies of va
st lout. '
id On the fame day, and at the fame
o- hour, the army of the Eastern Pyran
d, nees had an engagement with the (laves
ee of the fame tyrant. They have taken
iv- from them-at least two hundred pieces
iy> los cannon, all their ammunition, maga- ,
es, jzines full of all kinds of stores, one ge
°k j neral officer, three colonels, feventy
>ur five officers of different rank, all their
tents, camp equipage &c. Our army
r>n- is working towards Collioure and Port
of VeDdre ; but. the inoft fortunate cir
cvimftance is, that so signalized a victory

" After an engagement of 8 hours,
the fcnemy, to jhe number of 60,000,
marching in three columns, hasbeen en
tirely routed by an equal force : We cut
of his retreat and made 15000 prison

j non, and killed or wounded 4 thousand
men ( the Hanoverian General and 32
Officers are fallen into our hands, the
enemy was pursued to Saint Leges, a
league aiid an half from Tournay; The
enemy's plan., was to surround us at
Courtray, arid give succours to Mo.iin
which was in a refpedtable Hate of de
fence : But Menin surrendered at 6
o'clock in the morning of the 11 tit Flo
real, we made 1100 prisoners, took 38
pieces of cannon, and put to the sword
,500 Emigrants. This is one of the
molt important victories as the conle- dt

o
April 11. (8
1 The InCurreftion of Poland, which
our Court had not calculated upon, has
j occasioned here the most lively appre- 0
' henfions. Our armies on the Rhine
: were to be reinforced by the Austrian
| troops that are in Gallicia,& they had '
' already received orders to march for their
deilination ; but this rlnexpe£ted event
! in Poland has occasioned a total change
in these difpolitiorfs, and these very :
trobps have received orders to form a j
: cordon from Cracow to Breda. It has i
; been at the fame time notified to the j n
Gallician nobility,that they would expose (
themselves to the feverelt penalties if they t
Were to take any part directly or indi- v
rectly in theinfurredlion which has taken J
place in that neighborhood. So the r
: : Gallicians ari now between def- ;
■ ' potifm threatening them with itsven- i
! geance if they will be free, and liberty j
• j in wishing them to shake off the shame ! t
' | fill yoke which despotism has lately im- j (
• J posed on them. The part which they j j
3 ' are going to take is not dubious ; Auf- j ,
: tria is in want ofhands already to main- j
tain her power in the Netherlands ; she
J will litewife want them'to coiifolidate
" the fame among tbe Polonians. In vain
3 ' does the Court publish that the whole
' ] Hungarians is ready to support their
f | mad schemes against France. The
- 1 truth is that, fine's the military conscrip
tion, which Joseph 2. had established
" Jn their kingdom, has been abolished,
e only 600 men have presented themselves
n . voluntarily to enlist in the new corps in
tended to fight 011 the Rhine.
