FOREIGN IN TELLIGENCE. j LONDON, Julv 2. Lad night we received '.lie Paris papers to the 29th ult. from which we have given at full length Berthier's inierrfting account of the Creat Battle at Maringo—and we have added the lateft„BuUeiin ot the army of Italy, an nouncing that the French have taken poflWlion ot' the firft lift of furtrelTcs, and that Melas has matched for Mantua. There is another Bulle tin filled with the praise of Defaix, and very severe animadvei lions on Lord Kekh for ill treating him. The Bulletin also gives an ac count of the Chift Consul's being present at the performance of Te Deum for the deliver a'tice of the Cisalpine Republic. By letters from Suchet, his left was at Ormea und his right at Borghetta, on the 6tlt of June, ai d he had gained fevcral advantages. There is no full account ot"the pafl'age of the Dannb? at Dilleogen, but no doubt can be entertained of the fait. The accounts ihew that the Aaftrians were prcvioijfly preparing to aban don Ulm. We have at last Lord Keith's let ter", proving it was in confrquence of his refu fal to fanftion the convention between Kleber and the Turks that hostilities again broke out in Egypt. Another negociation is said to be on foot between the French and the Porte. BATTLE of MARINGO. Rt'fori to the Commander in Chief from Alexander Bert bier. To obtain pofTeflion of Milan, effect a junc tion with diviiion of Gen. Moncey, cut off the retreat of the enemy to Brescia, Orlinovi, Mar cafia and Plaifance, to gain the immense ma gazines ef the enemy, prevent their communi cations, and secure their depots, their iiclcand artillery, such were the orders ilTucd, whilfl our army o&erved the motions of that oi the enemy, harraflcd them on the Po, and effected the panage of that river before Stradella. The activity of our movements were preparatory to the accoinpliflimetu of'thcfe objects; the ge nius of Buonaparte profited by them. Ti.e enemy, beaten at Montebollo, were ftoccefiively reinforced by troops, under the command of Generals Elfnitz and Bellegarde. I was informed, that Melas had afl'embled all ; his forces at Alexandria. It was important to ! prevent his ulterior movements. With thisj vi«w every thing was arranged. The enemy had the alternative either of ad- Genoa and penetrating into Tufcany on parting the Po and the Teiin, in order to gain Mantua, or of forcing rTlcir way by giving battle to our army : or, finally, ot ' /hutting themfeves up in Turin. The divilions ot Chabran and Lapoype, re ceived orders to guard the Po. The detach ment left at "Yxrea observed the Oreo, the corps of General Moncey, occupied Plaifance, observed Bobbio, guarded the Tefin, the Sella, and the Oglio, from the fourcc of that river to the Po, and extended its observations toward* Pefchiera and Mantua. The Italian legion oc cupied Brescia, and the remainder of the ar rty, 4 with Buonaparte at their head, marched against the enemy On the 24'.h of Prairial (June 13) at day break, the army directed its march towards Tortona and Caftel Nuovo di Scrivta. The corps of General Vittor, which formes! the advanced guard, palled the Scrivia at Dora. That of General Lannes obtained pofTeflion of Caflel Nuovo, where the enemy abandoned 15«o lick, among whom were 6co in a state of recovery, and ready to resume aftive feryice in rhe army. The corps unde> the orders of General Deflaix took a poiition near Poute Curonne. The fame day the army marched towards San Joliano, which the advanced guard of the enemy evacuated, for the purpose of occupying a poliwon at Maringo. They were attacked by ,tbe djvifion of Garuantx, fup p»rted by the* 24th fight infantry, and forced to retire to the bridge on the Borroida, after having loft two pieces of cannon, and 180 pri soners. Thft fr*")' K* vc us bflrttl* HI tbe pTain of San.Juliano and taaringo, where they might have derived the utmott advantage from their nimerous cavalry. We bad eveiy reason to presume they would not 'have attacked fc us after we had acquired a knowledge of the ground and iheir ntoation, and that their ob ject was either r«> pals the Po and the Tefin, or. 'advance against Genoa and Bobbio Measures were taken to oppose them with fuifiiicnt force on the road from A k llandria t« Genoa, and on the left bank of the Po, the passage of wh:ch it was supposed ihey would attempt at Cafal' or at Valence. A division of the corps under the comruand of General Deflaix advanced to wards Rivalta by tuminj; Torienu. Flv.ing bridges were eflabliflied on the heights of Cas te» Nuovo, lij ordertexpcdiii ufly to pass the Po, and by a movement in flank, united the diviliqns on ihe left bank of that river. But on the 25th (14th June) at 7 in the morning, the divilions of Gardanne, which formed our advanced guard, \fras attacked. The enemy, by the dcvelopement of thrfr forces, m»nife*V ed the objfcft of their plans. The troops under the command of General Vi&or were imme diately ranged in order of battle. One part of it formed the centre, which occupied the vil lage of Maringo ; another formed the left wmg, which extends to the Bormida ; the corps of General Lances constitutes the right wing. The army formed into two lines, and had its wings supported by a formidable corps of cavalry. The enemy made fucceffivfe attacks, advanc ing in three column*. Their right advanced towards Rigoralo, by proceeding up the Bor mkja ; their centre b\ the great road ; and their left by Caftel-Ctfriclo. Gen. Vi&or informed me that he was attack- i ed by the whole of the (enemy's forces. I inime- ! «fiaiely marched the refcrve of the cava!ry,an foices ir.fiuueiy sup.nor, two lines of infantry marched to his afliOance, with a formidable artillery. The division of Watrin, and the 28th, remained unshaken. On the point of being turned by a conliderable corps, they were supported by the brigade of dragoon under the command of General Champeaux. This change of position of General Vi&or obliged General Lennes to follow the fame mo ement. The F.rft Consul, informed that the reserve of Geneial Defaix was not yet ready, imme diately haftcned in per lon to the divilion of Lannes tp favour his retreat. In the mean time the enemy advanced. He ordered the 7 2d demi-brigade to make different move ments—He endeavoured to take the enemy in flank, and charge at lh« head of that dtmi origade ; but a general cry ifl'ued from the ranks. ii We will not fuffer the Fi'Jt Consul to e.\- poje himfef /" This exc lamat ion was i'oi low ed by an interetting itrugg'e among the troops, who unmindful of their own danger, thought only of their chief.

At that moment arrived the division of Mmnier, which formed part of the army of reserve. 1 directed two de mi-brigades againll the vil lage of Caftel-Coioli, with orders to charge I the battalions which supported the enemy's ' cavalry.
