FIELD Marthal Lieut. Kray, exclu
sive of the circumftaritial details
which he gives of the movements in the
last battle mear Magnan, and of the con
sequences which refused from them,
adds, that Major General Kten^u had
penetrated as far as Governeilo with his<
light troops ; that he had taken from the |
enemy 18,000 muskets, 60 oxen, a great
quantity of brandy, and made 150 men
and two officers prisoners.
A: the fame time Colonel Der/kovi/h,
supported by the inhabitants of Podi
Goro, near Ariabo, seized three gun
boats with 13 cannon, 12,932 sacks of
fait, 24 merchant vessels with their
cargoes, and 20 others unladen.
Hamburgh, APRIL 23.
The letters from Roveredo, Infpuck,
and Aufburgh, which gave an account of
the vidory of Gen. Kray, on the sth,
state, that after it the Aufhians puffed
the Mincio, at Guita, (between Mantua
and Perchiera), and cut off a body of
2000 French, who after a short engage
ment surrendered themselves prisoners,
On the 6th a corps of the enemy polled
in the Brefcianefe, made an attack on the
fide of Staro, but were repelled with loss.
The great advantages will very possibly
enable Marshal Suwarrow to besiege
Mantua. The following is a (ketch of
the Austrian -and French forces ih Italy,
on the 15th April :
Eleven divisions of French troops and
four divisions of Italian troops, that is
to fay, of Piedmontefe, Cifalpines, Ro
mans, Neapolitans, Ligurians, Poles,
and altogether 150,000 men calculating
10 000 tor each division. This force is
thus distributed— two divisions of French
and one of Italians are in the kingdom
of Naples—one of French at Civita
Vecchia, Rome, and Ancona—one of I
talians at Leghorn, and in other parts of
Tuscany, and at Lucca two of French—
at Turin, and in Piedmont, and in the
Ligurian Republic, besides some bodies
iof requifitionary troops eftablilhed at
Piedmont, and in the Comte of Nice
one of Italians to keep in order the in
terior of Italy—one of French in the Val
teline— fix divisions, five of them of
French, and one of Italians, under the
orders of Scherer, which compose the
great army.
The Austrian army, with its auxilia
ries, is as follows :
ift. 15,000 Neapolitan insurgents,
who occupy the fouth kingdom of Na
ples, and keep in check 3 divisions of the
enemy.,
2d.15,000 men in the Tyrol, in the
Bifhoprick of Trent, to be under the im
mediate command of General Suwarrow.
3d. 76,000 Ruffians, composing the
grand array.—Total 130,000 men.
The following deduction is to be made
from the French army:
Ift. The division of the Valteline,
(that of Cafa Bianca) now united to the
army of Helvetia, and consolidated with
that of Maffena.
2d, The three divisions which occupy
the kingdom of Naples cannot, on ac
count of their daily Joffes, be estimated
at more than two divisions.
3d. Scherer has certainly loft more
than two divisions (20,000 men), since
the commencement of the campaign,
and has now not more than 40,000 ef
feftive men under his command. Os
these he has thrown 5000 into Pefchie
ra, and 10,000 at least are wanted for
Mantua, so that there remain only ,
25,000 men at the utmost to resist the
115 000 which Marshal Suwarrow may
employ against him, so that the latter
may eauly drive back the French army
behind the Adda, or the Tifin, and lay
siege to Mantua, after which make bim
felf master of the half, or the whole of
Lombardy. - /I

ENGLAND.
LONDON, MAY I —2.
This day arrived the mail from Ham
burgh which became due last Sunday.
The contents', however, have been in a
great measure anticipated by the Lon
don Gazette of last eight, Capt Omraao-
Iney,lney, who accompanied lieut. Buval from
Vienna, having brought dispatches to
Ministers from Sir Morton Eden. The
further accounts which General Kray,
gives of this important battle of the §rh
ult. and the consequences which follow
ed it, are meft auspicious to the fate of
Italy. It is impossible for any thing to
be more complete that the viaory of the
Auftrizns. The French are not only
driven into their fortreffes, where it is a
quefiion whether they have magazines
and hares, or can depend on the difpo
fitibo of the natives to befriend them ;
but the army is reduced to such a state of
disorder and mutiny that the Gazette
tells us the soldierly even plundered
their own Generals. In little more than
a fortnight the army of Italy has been
thus broken in pieces, and now Moreau
is called upon to colled the fragments,
and restore them to order and strength.
His military talents are indisputable—
but we fufpe& it will be beyond his /kill
to rally them, er to preserve his footing
against the augmented force which the
junction of the Ruffians, with the vido
rious Austrians, now embodied against
him, if the two latter be not visited with
thhug of ,61cufy —the bane of united
armies of different countries, languages
and manners.

SUPPLEMENT
Gen. Melas, who is arrived at the ar
my ofltaly, has sent intelligence of the
enemy having retreated by Azola, be
hind Chiefa; that our advanced guards
extend beyond the Mincio ; that they
are before Goito, and upon the heights
before La Volta and Monzanbano.
Pefchiera is already surrounded at a cer
tain difence on the fide of Suave and
Mazinirola. Our patroles have advanc
ed as far as the Citadel, without meet
iing with any of the enemy's picquets.
Gen Klainzu has also inverted Mantua
on the fide of Molinella. That General
has made himfelf matter of the enemy's
port at Lago Sacro, and of four pieces of
cannon.
Gen. Mellas informs us, that the peo
ple are every where very favourably dis
posed, particularly in the neighborhood
of Mantua ; that our troops are received
in all places with shouts ofj ,: that the
populace in general give evident marks
of their attachment to the eld Constitu
tion, as well as of their hatred to the
French and Democratical Government.
Letters from Venice, dated the 13th,
mentions that the Ruffian and Tuikifh
fleets, with a considerable number of
transports had been fan from the heights
of Ancona, coming 'from Corfu. The
Service which these troops are expected
to undertake is, to drive the French but
of the Ecclesiastical States & the Neapol
itan dominions.

following articles from the Hamburgh
mail of the 30th ult. which arrived in
London on Sunday last.
The latest from the Upper Rhine, are
dated 21st ult. at which period the im
perial head quarters were Bill at Stock
zck, and part of the ftaff at Sebzffbauf
en. Itis stated that the Austrians cros
sed the Rhine on the :Bth inst. beiween
Zurich and Schaffhaufen, but the ac
count is not established ; and we are left
in incertitude as to the event of an at
tack made by the French on the petition
of General Hotze in the Berg-ntz^ coun
try, on the evening of the 19th.
Five Bailliwicks in the Vahe%e bad
declared in favor of Austria, and obtain
ed from Gen.Bellegrade a firorg column
for their defence. They were arming
in numbers and energy, and had occu
pied all the strong passes of their coun
try.
In Switzerland the infurrtfion is u
niversal in those parts not under the im
mediate influence of the French armies.
The Helvetic Direßory, on the 17th, 3-
gain urged the Legiflarive Body to de
clare war against the Emperor, but the
great Council again rejeaed the propos
al. A letter from Scheffhaufen, ofthe
17th fays, " The interior of Switzerland
is in a state of rhe utmost possible confa
fion ; each hour in the day brings advices
of frelb infurreaions, and the great ma
jority of the cantons, are in open oppefi
tion to the French faaion."
The report of the capture of Farrara,
by the Austrians, does not appear to be
confirmed. The French still occupy the
right bank of the Po, and have planted
there a corfiderable quantity of artillery.
Two thousand citizens of Bologna are
stated to have armed to defend the city
against the Austrians.
