INTERCEPTED letters,
General Melas to Major General Mofel, at
Placentia.
Mead-quarters, at Turin, June 5.
Alexandria, it is at prrSertt, the only point
from which the army can procure provisi
ons, until a change ■ S circumftancea takes
place, which is not improbable. Te com-,
plete the magazines of Alexandria with flour,
forage, and a little rice, is therefore an ob
jeft of great importance, whioh I have fre
quently recommended to you for some time,
and in the most express manner; but of
which I have not yet Seen ar.y effeft, since.
according to the latest reports from Afti
and Alexandria, as well as my own person
al conviction here at Turin, its three ma
gazinrs are entirely destitute of provisions ;
and the magazine of flour forage at
Alexandria has not yet been completed.
The army which is here, when augmen
ted by the Speedy arrival of the corps under
General Elfniiz, and the corps of Field
Marfhatl Off, - wfioit marching by the Bo
chetta to Alexandria, mull draw all its pro
visions from, that place 1 but with such mea
lures both these places will be exposed to a
total want, and if the enemy (hould Sudden
ly paSs the Po, and by these means cut off,
even for a short time, the communication
between Placentia and Alexandria, this
place and the army will be without refour
cea and exposed to the danger of being de
prived of their provifionj.*
Therewas at Cremona, accprdingtfto the
latest reports, a considerable magazine of
provifinns, and I think I cau ht pe tha*. the
magazines of Cremona, Milan and JLodi,
will be placai ia (afety on the right bank
of the Po f
We shall therefore be in no want of pro
vifiond, and in consequence of the informa
ion which I gave you several days ago you
ffiuft have colledled all the means nf trans
portation for the army of the right bank of
the Po, and made a requisition without pay
'°g regard to any consideration whatever,
of all the carriages in the country, so that
means will not be wanting for Securing the :
nccefiary provisions.
H " "" Sent circumstances I mull re
ctn® ■ ■ ; t„- in the most pre fling man- 1
*l)er, to coiivty in the fpeedicfl way i,aoo
quintal* of flour, and 2,500 merfures of oat*
per day to Alexandria ; and I beg you at j
the' fame time to give me information on
this head, as well as reSpefting what has be.
come of the magazines of Milan, Pavia and j
Lodi, and the ineafures taken to complete ;
the. Supplies of Mantua, and of t'.ie otlwr j
fortrcfles of the line, and refpe&ing the ;
me»ns which, agreeably to my orders, have ,
been employed to Save the proviSions which
are in boats on the Po. Hitherto I have I
not received a word on those important ob- I
jetts.

Turin, June 5.
I have left the blockade of Genoa to the
corps of Gen. Ott, until the approach of that
tinder General Elfnitz, after which I (hall
-jr.- ct< IHi my united forces against the
*iß.iiiy, who have- penetrated through Ger
many. This operation has been attended
with the molt favorable confluences for the
army. The cumulation of Genoa begun on
the 2d of June by General Maflena, was
concluded yesterday. This place it to be eva
cuated ij'y the enemy this morning. The
garrison, with their arms, will be escorted to
the enemy's advanced posts, and are allowed
to serve again ; all the Austrian prisoners
taken by the French, during the operations
on the coast of Genoa, will be given up, and
may alio serve again.*
Maflena quitted Genoa on tjie night of
the 4th, and failed for the enemy's coasts in
an English frigate. The firft column of the
garrison marched out this morning. The
troops Rationed near the city have taken
poffeflion of it as well as of the forts, and
tbe English entered the port. I (hall fend
you an account as the ammunition found >n
Genoa, as well as the articles of capitulation,
when I have received them from Gen. Ott.
I have nothing farther at present to observe,
except that tbe greater part of the garrison
■will be conveyed by sea to the place of its
detonation;
The enemy attacked yefterdajr thedivifion
of General Keim towards Ari. liano. They
had driven back the troops under the com
mand of General Lamerfelle, and had taken
poffeflion of the Col de Thiou, and the vil.
lage of St. Ainbrofio. They were repulfrd
with considerable loss, and left in our hands
ii officers and 257 privates. Gen. Keim
bellows great praile on the conduft of Major
Mefco, and particularly on that of Lieut.
Colonel Gajoli, who led his battalion against
t'\e enemy with the bayonet, and with un
common bravery took the village of Ambro
fio.
Towards Oreo every thing is quiet, and
the enemy«<iave not penetrated farther to
ward the Col di Tenda ; our advanced pofls
•n the other fide of the Limon.
General ilfnitz, according' to his report
of the id frcm Dolce Aqua, is effedtiivg his
retreat by Ormea, where he hopes to arrive
on the 6th.
Field MarlVnll VukafTovich w3s on the
3d at Lodi, and hoped, if the enemy did not
appear in too great force to maintain him
felf for some"time on the Adda. This Ge
neral was not able to save the flotilla on the
Lake Major ; he however entertains scopes
that Capt. Mobz will take care to save that
on the Lake of Como. According to his
report, I am inclined to think that the
proje&s of the enemy are flill doubtful. If
they, however, direst tlifiir'courfe towards
hi«), he will retire to Mantua, watching
Pizzighetone, while I colleft all the forces
at iny disposal, and I hope loon to flrike a
decisive blow;
Gci>. Skat cpptirtues to watch the Po,
and I am pretty easy relpeflSrig tht fafetjr

be soon completed.
I am, with infinite confiJeration, your
Excellency's mod obedient Servant,

* It may be readily conceived, from these
conditions, that Melas wished to secure a
retreat by Se,i. The corps of Maffcna be
ing now united to that of Suchet,'it will Be
difficult for the enemy to effeft their retreat
in any other minner.—Note of the French
Editor
James Hadfield was brough up by a writ
of Habeas Corpus, under the custody of
Mr, Kirby. keeper of his majesty's goal of
Newgate, to plead to an indiftment against
him by the Grand Juiy, for High Treason.
The indiftment charged, that he, the said
James Hadfield, being a person of a malici
ous, evil disposed, and traitorous
did, on the evening of the 15th of May lad,
arm himfelf with a pi del loaded with a 'cer
tain quantity cffgun-pbwder, with an intent
to afiaf&nate and put'to jleath our Sovereign
Lord the King ; and slid g» to a certain
Theatre, called Drury Lane, his majcfly he
ing prefcnt at, the said .Theatre, and did
there and {hen (hoot off and difcuarg? the
said pistol, loaded with gUnppwjJer* fcadefl
(hots or bullets, with a malicious and traito
rous intent to (hoot, afTaflinate, and kill the
king.
To this indiftment the prisoner pleaded,
«• NOT GUILTY."
Lord Kenyon alked the prisoner if he had
any Counsel.
Hadfield presented a petition, dating his
poverty, and praying the Qourf to afliajn hire
counf.l. He i*med Er(kine and Mr.
Serjeant Be ft, if they would accept it.
Lord Kenyon said to Mr. Erfkine, that
he tool# it for granted he would have no
obje&ion.
Mr. Erfkine Atid, that he had always
understood i: to be the praftice of the bar,
that when a prisoner aflced for counsel, the
court had a right to give him the profefli
onal assistance of any gentleman who prac
tised in the court in which he was arraign
ed ; and that he therefore concurred with
his Lordlhip, that it was his duty to accept
the trull ; and " I desire," said Mr. Erf
kine, " for myfetf to add, that I cannot give
a stronger test of my loyalty and attachment
to. the Sovereign of the Throne', than by
my readiness to give to all hit fubjetts the
fulled benefit of the law."

Curious Particulars relative to the pajage of
St. Bernard.
[From a Swiss Paper.]
. L A U S ANNE, June 1.
On the 18th of May, Mr. Le Breux, a
native of BruffeU, aged 21, and firft Lieu
tenant of Kiqiky's regiment of infantry,
who was (lationed with that corps near A
j iccio, 09 the mountains of Sefia, set out
on a reconnoitring expedition, at the head
of a detachment of forty men. He direft
ed his course towards the valley of Aofta, in
order to difesver whether there was any
truth in the rumours relati?* to the intended
invafioa of the French. It had been circu
ited in the Austrian army that Buonaparte
wa«to penetiate dire&ly into Piedmont by
the Great St. Bernard ; but the report was
not credited, as the season was so unfavour
able to the attempt, and the snow so deep,
that this route was thought altogether im
pra&icablc. c.
After a very difficult march of five days,
thro' rugged paths, and over frightful pre
cipices, heut. Le Breux found himfelf on
the 13d of May, between five and fix in the
•evening, on the rapid declivity of a moun
tain, which he descended by a serpentine
fpof path, intending to, proceed to Chatil
lon by the village'of St. Vincent. Hsre
he was fudd?nly struck with the appearance
of five French Generals and two guides, not
more than fix paefs from bin, all crawling
down the mountain and leading their horses,
with the exception of one, in a grey coat,
and a gold laced bat, without a feather,
who remained oh horfcback, and advjcced
at their head.
> . •
The Auilnan soldiers presented their
prices the moment they dbferved the French
officers ; but their Lieutehant ordered tl.-n
riot to fire, preferring, as he said, the op
porttinity of carrying such a great and glo
rious prifce to the head quarter, of. his
corps. The general in the grey coat no
sooner observed them than he exclaimed
" See the Auftrians—there are Auftrians
here !" The two guides at the fame time
pointed their carabines, and called out
" Whose there?" But the French General
ordered them not to fire, and addressing
himfelf to the young A.uftrian pfficer; asked,
" Who are you ? what are you about here ?
where do you come from ? what is the
strength of your detachment ! what is the
name of your regiment ? what is your gen
eral's name ? where is your corps polled,
&c. ?" and several other questions, to which
the lieutenant replied as he thought proper.
This conversation, which latted about
half an hour, was raorethan once interrupt
ed by the Aultrian soldiers, who alked these
soldiers, whether they (hould not carry off
their prize. But the Genera! in the grey
coat, in whom the reader will, perhaps, ere
now, have recognized Buonaparte, said to
the Auftriaß Officer,—''« Hitherto, Sir, j
you have considered me your prisoner ; you, i
however are mine ; but do not be very un- i
easy ; I (hall take care of you and your sol- ■
lowers " yVt that moment lieut. Le Breux
perceived that he was surrounded by French
g enadiers.
The First Consul dtfired him to retain '
his armsr, and said to him—" To night you
(hall sup with me at Chatillon, and to-raor
row you (hall dine with me in the cicy of I
Aofta." This actually took place. The
Officer, in relating the story, observed, that
Buonaparte was extremely abstemious, and
that he remained a very (hort time at table.
After dinner the First Consul took him into'
a private apartment, where he conversed
with him during a quartet of an hour on the
fdrce and pofnions of the Auftrians. At
parting the l.eut. asked permission to return
home on hi» parole—•• I had already de
terminrd to set you at liberty, without Re
quiring that you (hould be exchanged," said
Buonaparte. Jle immediately made hi*
aid du camp, Duroe, give him a passport
for Paris, and anotji r for one of his foldiera j
to attend him as a servant. He also gave
him a letter to the Minister of Police. He.,
arrived here on the 29th of May.
