FRANCE. ARMY OF ITALY. SLUMS, GENERAL IN CHIEF OR TICS ARMY OF __ITALY, TO THE MINISTER AT WAR. Wee.", Dec. 27, One in the Morning. On Eke 17th of December, the advanced guard of the enemy, under the orders of General Ho- Hzazot.saateind BOSSY, attacked our out-polls, but was completely repulfed. The whole army put itfelf in motion, and got poffeffion of the prin cipl pofitions on the right bank of the Mincio.— firfi four days of Nivofe were employed in mak ing-preparations for the paffage of this river, de fended by the final army of Aufiria. The two moil favourable points for the paffage of the Min cio appeared to be thofe of Monzanbano and Molino, oppofite Lavolta. General Du roar hav ing fet one from Azola, threw a bridge over the river at Molino. General BELLEGAIDE marched in that direCtion with the principal [lrene' of the army. A moft bloody battle caned. The 6th light dillinguifhed itfelf : charged by the huffars of Tufcany, it received them with fixed bayonets. A great part of this regiment remained upon the field of 'battle. The divifion of General GAzAW arrived very feafonably. The divifion of cavalry, under the orders of General Davouvr, made .a great number of prifoners. General Da LIMA s de bouched by Munzanbano. Lieutenant-General Moscxv proceeded after him. The enemy was ,completely put to route. Generals of Brigade Moamar and CALOIN. were wcnnded, together , with fevcral other Staff Officers. General DLL MAS had his clothes fhot through, Generals Mos- CBY and Bountr had their holes killed under them. I owe much praife to General MARMONT, for his conftant exertions to organife the artillery of the army, and.for the execution which it did under his diretli&Ls. General LLSUITE, with the brave 72d, has entered Borghetto. The lots of the enemy amounts to 24 pieces of cannon, and more than I z,OOO men, of whom Soo° are prifo ners. We have taken a great number of Ilan dards. I lhall fend you further detail-. I hope to do great things to-morrow. (Signed) stows. ARMY OF THE RHINE. TYE GI/MAL OF DIVISION, CHIEF Or THE STAFF, TO THE MINISTER AT WAR. Head-quarters at Stern, December as. Citizen Minifler—The army has continued its )novements; the' enemy has not been able to de fend the Traun, which the centre. of the army pallid it Limb ach and Wels ; the left wing fol. Jor•ed the route of Lintz, and afterwards direded its march to Enns ; the right wing, which had gained Gunenden, palled the Alben, and received orders to tile off towards Krumunfter, to flank the enemy on his march to Steyer. All thefe movements have perfectly fucceeded. General .Lacoutal made a or Soo prifieners ; General Riots AAAAA entered Steycr, where the enemy abandoned 17 pieces of cannon, and left almoll aOOO prifoners. In our rout we have found im menfe magazines, and the lois of the enemy, in men, horfes, ammunition, and waggons, is pro digiqus. At Lintz we got to,ooo barrels of flour and 25,000 f3cks of oats ; and at Saint Peter's a quantity of provifions nearly as confiderable.— We have repaired the bridges of Enns, and paired the Ups, which the enemy did not attempt to de fend. We are ready to march to Erlaph. There is every reafon to conclude that the Auftrians will now attempt to flrengthen themfelves near the Trafen, and probably under the walls of Vienna.

The charafter of the Archduke CHARLES, bis well-known fidelity, are fufficient pledges to us of the defire the Eltrztol now has to terminate the war. To this he has been, betides, compelled by the deplorable Rate of his army, which, haw ing loft in twenty days 66 leagues of country, 25 thoufand prifoners, 1a or 15 thoufand killed or wounded, 140 pieces of cannon, and immenfe gazines ' is not at prefent, and would not be for thole three months, in a Rate to prevent our army from conquering all Auftria and diftating laws to its capital : but, to do it without danger, it was neceffary that the army Mould have been matter of the head of the defiles of Cirinthia. The Ge neral in Chief believed, betides, that to flop in the midi' of the moil brilliant victories was conform able to that charatler of moderation by which the Chief Conful sines to make himfelf known to the whole of Europe. I have the honour to addrefs to you a copy of the armillice. The Emperor has determined to treat of peace, whatever may be the determination of his Allies; and our line approaohing to the Danube and to the mountains of the Tyrol, putting in our hands the Rations of Kuffstein, Schocrnitz, Brannan, &c. will afford us the means of renewing the war with the greater' . ;,dvantlifes . , but above all with cf.: greateft fecii rity.

The Sitting opened at two o'clock with the reading of the proce:.verkl of the preceding Sit ting. The terms in which it was drawn up were approved. The PRESIDINT read a meffage from the Con fuls, which had been addreffed to him in the night, to inform him that the Orators of the Govern ment were to repair to-day in the bofom of the Legiflative Body upon an important communica tion. At four o'clock Citizens REGNIEIL, Sr. Ora, and THißeubctu, were introduced to the hall. RIGNIER read the following all: THE CONSULS OF THE REPUBLIC TO THE TRIBUNATE. Tribunes—The Republic triumphs; and her enemies again.implore her moderation. The vic tory of Hohenlinden has refounded through all Europe ; it will be counted by hiftory among the number of the molt brilliant days which have il luftrated French valour : but it was fcarcely fo confidered by our brave defenders, who do not think that they have truly conquered, until their country has not an enemy left. The,army of the Rhine peed the Inn; every day was a battle— every battle a triumph. The Gallo-Batavian•army conquered at Bam berg. The Army of the Grifons, through the !now and ice, furmounted the Spleigen in order to turn the formidable lines of the Mincio and the Adige. The Army of Italy carried by main force the pal:rage of the Vinci°, and blockaded Mantua. In fine, Ifoarav was only at five days march from Vienna, mailer of an immenfe country, and of all the enemy's magazines. It was in this poiition that Prince CHARLES de fired, and that the General in Chief of the Army of the Rhine granted to him, an armiftice, the conditions of which are herewith hid before you. M. de COBSPITZEL, the Plenipotentiary of the EMPEROR at Luneville, has declared by a note dated the 3z ft of December, that he was ready to open. Negotiations for a feparate Peace. Thus Auftria is freed from the influence of the Englifh Court. The Government, faithful to its principles, and to the willies of humanity, depofits in your hands, and proclaims to France, and to all Europe, the intentions by which it is animated. The left bank of the Rhine (hall be the bounda ry of the French Republic : fhe makes no preten lions to the right bank. , The intereft of Europe does not permit the EMPEROR to pafs the Adige. The independence of the Helvetic and Batavian Republics (hall be enfured and guaranteed. Our victories add nothing to the pretenfions of the French people : Auftria ought not to expect from her defeats what (he would not have obtained from her victories. Such are the invariable intentions of the Go vernment. The welfare of France flail be to re (tore calm to Germany and Italy ; her glory to deliver the Continent from the avaricious and de ftruetivenius of England. If good faith (hall be again broken, we are at Prague, at Vienna, and at Venice. Such felf-devotion, and fuch fuccefs neceffarily fccures to our armies all the gratitude of their country. The Government is anxious to find new expreflions to confecrate their exploits ; but there is one, which by its fimplicity will be always wor thy of the fentiment and the courage of the French foldiers. The Government has propofed to the Legifla tive Body four draughts of a Law, declaring that the Army of the Rhine, the Gallo-Batavian Army, the Army of Italy and the Army of the Grifons, have deferred well of the country. The Chief Caaful Boma emits. t Here follow the plans of four arretes propofing to decree that the armies of the Rhine, of Italy, of the Grifons, and the Gallo-Bataviansihave de ferved 'well of their country.] This mefrage was carried to the Legiflative Body by the Councillors of State, Rsomisa, Tut- SAIUDIAIt, and ST. CYR. It was communicated to the Senate by the Councillors of State Boat Ay, CH•111,4011Y, and PORTALIS, and to the Tiibu nate by the Councillors of State DIFIRMOST, and Tel/Gorr.

Thanks ~ . rendered to the Government, which, by tl ; t.'. dom of its meafures, and its happy foresight, !: ii again found the means of fixing viol y tilllo.l our ranks. However, if we should be again ;i t :2 ceived in our hopes, and we are again It:teak:n:3 to fight or conquer, at leaft the French Govern ment will not have to juftify itfelf in the eye, of Europe, aftonithed at out fuccefs, for the new miferies which will afflict humanity. It is well known that the provifional Government was fence eftablifhed when it propofed Peace to the Bellige rent Powers. It is known that it was offered Ld our vanquithed enemies, after a multitude of vic tories. Thus public .indignation will he entirely directed towards thole who arc obitinately bent op purfuing a war difaftrous to themfelves and ai d . ing to the world; but let us repofe our thought; on more confolatory ideas. Yes, we than have peace ; the Republic will triumph over its ettemie-, and it will remain fixed in that rank among na. i f tions which is afG ned to it by its greatnefs.—r me Is Rlalire I" This acclamation was again re peated with thefame enthufiafrn. Loud and con tinued plaudits accompanied Citizen REGKIEk to his place.] Upon the demand of a number of Members, the Legiflative Body decreed, that the communication made by the Government, and the anfwer of the Prefident, thould be printed, and diftributed to all the members in the fittings of tomorrow.

If fortune claims her part in the triumphs of war, the hat nothing to pretend to in the fuccefs of wifdom.— Le giflators, it is now that you are going to realife the hopes of that Republic, which, from all the points of its immenfe territory, has produced you, in order that you might compote a fyllem diaated by national wifdom.

The armies of heroes, led by intrepid chiefs, and directed by genius, have forced all the defences of our enemies, penetrated into the heart of their countries, marked all their Reps by prodigious enterprises and briiliant-fue .ceifes, and carried the Republic and the French name to the fummit of glory. But agriculture. indullry, commerce, and above all, :humanity, groaned under this obilinate war, and tighed for peace.
