, MILAN,* MAY 19.
WE shall give in a few words, a hiftory
of tranfa&ions liace the French have
entered Milan.
The 14th, Gen. Maffena, entered with the
vanguard of about five thousand. The
city sent the keys forward to meet this Gert
era! as far as Lodi, by a deputation of the
General Council and Archbishop. On bis
entrance he struck the keys together as a
token of joy. The next day Gen. Buona
parte made a brilliant entry. — Arrived at the
Roman gate, the national guards received
him with presented arms, and the nobility
and city officers paid him their complimedts
amidst the applauses of avast crowd of spec
tators. He was preceded by a large detach
ment of infantry, surrounded by a guard of
huzzars, and followed by carriages, and the'
Milanese National guards —ln this order he
(proceeded to his residence at the Archducal
palace, where he dismounted. The French
and Milanese troops played alternately dur
ing the procession. There was served up at
the palace a dinner of zoo covers. The tree
of liberty was planted in front of the palace,
amidst the cries of " Pfa la Libert, ! VQ
la Rcpubliqut." The day finifhed with a very
'elegant ball, at which a number of ladies ap
peared with the ribbons of French national
Icolours.
On Monday, General Buonaparte received
many visits, and administered the oath of fi
delity to the Municipality, and different or
ders of adminifration.
On Tuefday seals were put on all the mo
ney chests belonging to the Archduke ; their
contents are to be transferred to the French
treasury. Five thousand mufauets & swords
ihave b^n taken, destined for the national
armaments, and arms Efficient to furnifh
the necessary guards are wanting.
This day anew tree of liberty was plant
ed, at which, in consequence of an advertife
fcment of the popular society, a national feaft
is to be given.—lt is dated the frft„ar of
, Lombardian liberty. The citadel is not yet
taken.
jfyGen. Cervoni is at Plaifance, and Ange
reau at Cremone; Beaulieu is near Mon
tone, with his army. It is said, he has re
ceived reinforcements. Montone is block
aded by iz,ooo men ; we are assured, that
the garrison is not numerous, and that Beau
lieu has but a weak artillery. Gen. Batyty'
de Stain defends Montone ; he formerly
commanded here.

Paris, JUNE 6,
We mentioned yesterday, that an expedi
tion was contemplated by the army of Italy,
egairift Livourne, in order to seize on the
magazines and wealth, which the English
have accumulated there. Gen. Maffena,
with fix or seven thousand, is ordered on this
expedition. There is no force that can re
sist him. He is enjoined to comport tow
ards the territories of the Grand Date of fy.
cany, with the greateff moderation ; to pay
for every species of provisions which the ar
my may consume, to refpe& the property of
the fubjeds of the Grand puke, and to
touch nothing but what belongs to the En
glilh. This expedition was put in move
ment the: + th of May.
.We give as a motive for this invasion, the
right of making: reprisal. The Engiifh have
lately seized in the port of Livourne a French
: v^iel „ and the Duke did not properly re
sent this breach of his neutrality. It is more
over complained of him, that h^ has too
complaisantly permitted Ltoome to be a
magazine for the English; and further, that
work-flips have been permitted to be ereded
there, wherefrom the Englilh furnifhed
themselves with implements to carry os
their war against us.
We are assured, that this expedition has
no other object than the magazine of our
most inveterate enemies. The treaty of al
liance. between us & the Grand Duke & his
neutrality, will be refpe&ed, provided he on
his fide makes it refpeded by the English.
Bologne has surrendered to our arms. The
Archbishop himfelf came out and delivered
the keys of the city.
The Envoys of the Pope have been admit
ted to an audience with Buonaparte.
They made a movement to fall at his feet ;
but he prevented them. After a short
pause, they expressed the admiration of" St.
Peters at the exploits of the general ; and
applauded his humanity and moderation to
those who have submitted ; —At the close
they demanded peace. Buonaparte answer
ed, that they mu& addtefs themselves to the
Directory ; and that during the interim,
they might rely on the benevolence of the
French armies ; but that for the prefeat,
they must furnifh a subsidy of 1 § millions of
livers, and a collodion of the pictures and
fine statues of Rome, - ^
The infumaion in Corsica, against the
English, amuses a consistency. All the
cantons of the mountains have displayed the
French colours; and the revolters have
chosen for their chiefs Costa, Javrra &
Camfagalini.
The Directory has sent Gen. Scerer Min
ister Plenipotentiary to Turin,
Letters from Germany state, that Field-
Marflial Count deLacey, prime Minis
ter to the Emperor, had been arrested on a
charge of high treason.
Buonaparte, is only 27 years old.—
