According to accounts received ittVe from General Me'.as,. from Madonna di Savona, Varragio, and Saffcllo, From the iith to the 17th inftaiit, he continues his operati ons in the Riviera, ar.d against Genoa. Every where the enemy makes the mod ob stinate resistance, and in one of the different engagements, which happened on the nth, betwean Logareto and Monte Fujjle, they could only be driven to flight by the unex ampled bravery of oilr grenadiers, and the fkilful manner in which they made ufa of the bayonet. A chief of brigade, several Hall-officers, and sixty privates were msd<» prifowers on this ofcafion : Msffena hir. felf was in danger of being taken, end was sav ed with the greatest difficulty by his troops. On the fame dey FieH-Mar(hal Lieutenant Etfnits was attacked on Wonte St. Giaco mo, by the French General of diviCon, Souchct, whom he repulsed, but net with out considerable loss. At the fame time, the advanced polls of Field Marshal Lieutenant Kaitn were at tacked near Chaumons by a division of troops under General Thurreau, frotp Briancon, but he repulftd them beyond the Thora, — On the preceeding day, however, the ene my had fuccreded, favoured by a fog, in surprizing the brigade of General Ulm on the height of Sette Pani, and in driving him from that post, after which he joined Field Marshal Lieutenant Elfcitz, in hia position on Monte St. Giacotna. On the 12th at ten in the morning, brigades of our left wing were violently at tacked at several points, by the enemy who succeeded in oiflodging the regiment of Ter ay and a battalion of Reifly from the high? ell point of the Armetta, after they had sustained the mod furious attacks. The fire continued from ten in the morning till night, with confiderablc loss on boath fides. The Brigade of General Sticker maintain ed its position. This event induced Gene ral Melaq, on the 13 in the afteroon, the enemy, with their usual impetuoHty, attack ed both wings. but were repulsed by the brigades of Lattermann, BusTy, and St. Ju lien ; the engagement only terminating at nine in the evening. On the 15 th, the enemy were driven from Saflttto, and Gen. Melas led the abovemen tioned brigades against till Ametta, order ing th? regiment Stuart, with one of them, to Monte Faj.tle, to eflablifh a communica tion with the troops under Field Marshal Lieut. Hohenzollrrn, 0n the 14th, Field Marshal Lieut, Ho henzollern was at Lavezara, and his ad vanced post close to St. Pietro d'Arena. Throughout that reighborhood the country people have taken up arms against the com mon enemy • and as Field Marshal Lieut. Ott has likewise advanced to Calvari, on the Rif.tgno, and his advanced pofl extending jfto/n from Cretto to Quinto, on the fea coafl; we must expeft further intelligence from this concentrated situation of the ar my against Genoa. Gen. Melas promises soon to fend positive intelligence; of our own and the enemy's loss. ("Private Correspondence.J By several couriers sent hither by Gen. Melas, we hive received the following in telligence refpetting the further operation of his army. From the 73th to the 17th, the engage ments continued without interruption. Gen. Maflena made five different attacks upon the flower of his army. A corps of 6000 grena diers led by him in person, had 3000 killed and 1800 made prisoners. Maflena was al io in the hands of an Imperial chafleur, whom a French chafleur (hot, and thus liberated his general. Maflena feeing that his troops were beaten in every quarter, withdrew to Genoa with 18,000 men, the remainder of his army of 29,000, and is now entirely blockaded. He attempted to escape by sea, hut was forced by the Englilh to return, when he made proposals to Gen. Melas to capitulate, demanding the free departure of him-felf ?nd his army ; his offers were reje&- ed, and ht was informed, that from the fi tusti.Mi cf affairs, a capitulation could not be granted, ai.d that he nuift surrender at difcrelion. A courier is now hqitrly expe£l td, with intelligence of the surrender of Maflena and the red of his army, which is Paid to fader greatly from want of provi sions. The obflinacy and inveteracy of the con tending armies lurpaffed that which they had rvinced in the battles of Novi and on the Trebbia. The loss of the French, who fought like desperate men, has been very great ; but our own has likewise not been considerable. By sea Admiral Lord Keith blockades Genoa in such a manner, that du ring the day tiVe his fleet is always drawn up in uider of battle, and at night the whole fleet (even the imalleft vefiels) are illuminated, and ftationrd in /ueh a manner as to make it entirely impossible even for Maffcoa to escape in pevfon- LONDON.

The position of Stokach was attacked on the 3d with a very superior fores, and chivied with some Toss on the part of the Auftriaas. At " the fame time the main x>t the French, commanded ' by General Moreau in person, made a des perate attack upon the Austrian force under General Kray, at Engen ; but after an ob ftiuate coiuell, and ItcriiiciHg immense num bers of men,-they were obliged to desist. In the mean time, the Archduke Ferdinand, who h.'.d defeated a body #f the enemy that had attempted to cut him off, effetted his , junflion with the- main army. In confe quencf, howestr, 6f the Itfs of Stokach,and the absence of fevrral cbnGderable detach ments, General Kray found himfeJf u.ider the neceflity of withdrawing in a direftton tawardi the Danube. In the course of this march he was attacked aghin 011 the sth, in a temporary position at Moelkircb, by the whole French army, who were again repulsed, after an obstinate conflidl and experiencing a loss much greater than that of the Auf trians. The French did not venture to re new the attask in the flight, or on the next morning. On the 6th the Auftrians took up a position behind the Danube, between Riedlingen and Sigmaringen, without any opposition fron) the enemy ; and on the Bth had again repaired that river, and were pre paring to advance. The Archduke Ferdi nand is reported to have diltinguifhed hirn felf particularly." It cannot be defied that the masterly ma noeuvres of General Morfau completely suc ceeded in diverting ( the attention of General Kray from the actual point of attack. The latter was induced to consider the feint made by General Suzanne as the real operation, and he was concentrating his forces at Do nauelchingen while jhe French were enabled to pass the Rhine without any check, and turn the positions of the Audrian army. The country to which General Kray has re treated is, however, more favorable to the effedtive display and evolutions of the Aus trian cavalry, against which, in numbers, discipline, and every other refpeft, it is ad-'' mitted by all the military raen, that tUe re publican cavalry cannot make head. The French have been much indebted for their late fucccfles to superiority of numbers. ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, May ic. Letters received this morning from Lord Keith, dated April lift, mention fe»eral importast advantages gaiued by the Aufi trians in the vicinity of the city of Genoa, under the walls ef which place the French have been obliged to concentrate their force. In many attacks the fire of the Englilh|fhips was employed with considerable efTeft. DOWNIXG-STREET, May 10. From Hon. Mr. Windbnm, to LordCretl " ■ —•' villi. _ " Florence, April 29, 1600.

GENERAL MACK. 1 Previous to this General's,quitting Paris, he Wiote along letter to Caroot, minister at War, on the causes of his detention. In this Letter, he pays great refpedt to the sentiments entertained by Buonaparte in re gard to him. On the 17th of march (fays General Mack) I had an audience with the First Consul, 011 which I pr.omifed, for myfelt and the officers of mv General Staff, to re turn to France within three months, from the day on which we (hould be fuffered to depart from Paris, should I not succeed in elTe&ing tlie r.turn of Generals Grouchy and Perignon to Paris, on their parole. The First Consul having agreed to this prnpofal, which I made to him verbally,' and having promised that he would immediately give or ders to the Minister ot War to that pur pose, I had reason to expedt that the- War office would make the neceflary arrange ments for my departure, the more so, as the First Consul, a few minutes after my au dience, had sent me word, by General Clarke, that he wilhed I might plrture, for five or fix days; as he intended to have another conference with me." General Mack then proceeds to observe' that he was 111 daily expe&ation of receiving his dispatches, but he received only dilatory answers. He enters into a comparison of his own situation with that of La Fayette, who was confined, not as a prisoner or war, but agreeable to the principles of the coa lition at that time, for h'a\mg been one of the promotors of the French Revolution. He was himfelfa prisoner of war. He then ob&rves, that the benevolent intentions of the chief Consul were evident, from his fending for him from Dijon to Paris. " This was proved to me by every thing, daring the firft time after my arrival at Paris, and I had even unequivocal con vincing proofs, that the First Consul was | fully Jetermined to fuffer me to depart as soon as I ftiould have had a certain eonfe rente with him, for which I had never ap plied, but of which the First Consul, from his refpe&afele wilh to restore peace, had perhapsexpefted that it might contribute in a flight degree to bring matters neararto the point. This conference took place, and I was ready to depart in a few days after wards. Not without reafoT) had I prepar ed for my departure ;but alas !it seems I have not been so fortunate as to please in this conference ; not from having given any cause whatever for exciting suspicion, with j refpeft to my fineere dedre of not wishing to contribute to the restoration of peace with my country, but from having freely declared my opinion refpe&ing the means of efletting this peace. No doubt, it was : not canfidered that, the nature of an inter- I vention, the business of which could only be to bring both parties nearer to each i other, requires a double language, and that on such an occasion he who defends, against the French, the cause of the English, must not, 011 that account, be considered as their partizan ; for, fn.cerely interelted in the peace, he would immediately defend the cause of the French, had he to speak of it to the Englifti, or their allies. I r. quc/i you, Citizen Minister, not to think it strange that I mention these particulars to you. Do not thiilk thera as foreign tp my cafe You citizen Minister, niuft at length do me that justice which I have requeued tc.o long. My cafe belongs to your depart ment.— Fof 13 months past, incompetent judges have overloaded me with a(Xs of in justice, for I cannot believe that War Mi. nifters, or those employed under them have advised the fliameful violation of the laws of war to which 1 have been fqbjetfted, be cause I am convinced that every one belong ing to the military department of the Re public ails conformably to the principles of honour, justice, and equity.
