"Citizen Minister.—There are
few examples of a refinance so obsti

of the army of the Rnlne in Germany.
It might have been expected, after the
two battles of Engen and Mofkirch,
that Gen. Kray would have retired be
hind the Yller, and to his entrenched
camp of Ulm ; but the enemy, after
these two bloody defeats, gained by
forced marches the line of the Rifs,
and on the 9th, the body of the army
commanded by Lieut. Gen. St. Cyr,
and the referve,met him on their march
and encountered him. The enemy
occupied the heights in front of the
Rifs. Two divisions of the corps of
Gen. St. Cyr had scarcely come out of
the woods and formed their columns,
when they drove the enemy into the
deep ravin formed by the river, and
penetrated as far as Biberach. Gen.

sustained a violent cannonade, feeing

cannot praise too much the bravery of
the Generals and troops. The battles

still a fufficiency of troops to enable me to defend

beaten, which I have good reason to believe is
not the case. MASSENA."
To which Gen. Maffena returned the follow
ing Answer :—
" Head-t^arters, at Genoa, April 21.
" General,
The 25th April Gen. Souchet made an at
tempt to dislodge Gen. Elnitz, and open the
communication between Savona and Genoa ;
but the French was repulsed; and Gen. Me
las has sent him a further reinforcement.
" Fortune has not crowned your bravery,
which entitles you to my esteem, and to that of
the whole world. With but a small number of
men, you was forced to give way to my exer
tions, and you did it with honor. But I think
it is time to listen to the voice of humanity.—
Gen. Souchet has yesterday been defeated at Sc.
Giacomo, and you have no longer any hopes
to refill my forces. You will be accountable,
for the blood that shall be fpilt hereafter, and
you will complete the miseries of a people
who have already fuffered so much.
On the 21st the Austrian officers were releas
ed on parole. On the 22d advice was receiv
ed of the French having recaptured St. Jaques,
and Ferrol. On the 23d the Austrians attack
ed St. Pierre d' Arena, but were repulsed with
the loss of many prisoners.
" The enemy relying little on their forces,
employ all possible means to corrupt the public
opinion, and produce, by fedudtion, movements
favorable to them. Yesterday their partizans
circulated a report that I fliould abandon your
city; to day they have circulated a letter from
Gen. Melas, offering me a capitulation ; they
have carried their imposture further. They as
sert that a capitulation is already signed. Yes
terday I rejected all kind of Capitulation, and I
communicate to you the letter I wrote to Gen.
Melas. This morning the enemy were com
pletely beaten, and loft 1200 men. Inhabitants
of Genoa, I will not, I ought not to capitulate,
because I have forces to defend you* ;becaufe
the movements which the First Consul is di
re&ing the French Armies to make, will soon
force the Austrian Army to retire ; and finally
because it would be to deliver you to an Ene
my, from whom it is the wish and duty of the
army to deliver you. That Enemy are so in
terested in getting possession of your City, that
there are no facrifices they will not make to
get possession of-it. But be not deceived with
refpedt to their real intentions. The secret
views of the House of Austria are to overwhelm
you with contributions, to annihilate your com
merce, afld to avenge the events of 1746,which
are of & nature never to be effaced.—lnhabi
tants, as long as I have one corps of troops re
maining, neither my brave men, nor myfelf,
will ever separate our cause, from yours.

HAGUE, APRIL 5.
0 War events in Italy are brought
down to the beginning of May.—By a
judicious manoeuvre of Gen. Melas the
French army of Italy had been divided;
and notwith (landing the most desper
ate and intrepid attempts to rejoin, had
been prevented, by the (kill and brave
ry of the Austrians. —One division of
the French, under Gen. Maffena, was
closely surrounded in Genoa ; the
other commanded by Gen. Souchet,
was at the fortrefs of Savona, and at
La Pietra. Maffena's force is from 10
to 12,000 men ; who defend them
selves like Lions ; and who will not
capitulate until driven to the utmost
extremity. They are, however, com
pletely hemmed in by the Austrians
and English.—The advances on land
being within a short league of the city.
Souchet's troops are also closely invest
ed.—But we also learn that the French
army of reserve had advanced from
Dijon towards Italy, by the Great St.
Barnards ; and that Buonaparte had
promised to be at Milan by the 20th
May. ,
O ^Germany, it appears, from
the 21st April, until tlre 1 uh May, the
French army of the Rhine had been in
continual march ; and had had FIVE
severe battles with the Austrians. The
firft—on the 3d April, at Stockach ;
in which Prince Joseph of Lorraine
was defeated with great loss. 2d.
The fame day, at Engen, between the
Main Armies, commanded by the Gen
erals in Chief, Moreau and Kray.—
The contest laded the whole day.—
Neither army receded—The Austrians
at the close held all the positions; but
owing to the difaller of Prince Joseph
at Stockach were obliged to retreat
the next day at day break, towards the
Danube and Iller. 3d. At Mofkirch,
the sth April—At sunset each army
retired from the feene of carnage ; but
the next day, the Austrians continued
their retreat, and took post behind the
Danube. 4th. On the 9th the Austrians
recrossed the Danube, and advanced
by forced marches towards the right of
the French line ; —near Biberach the
combatants met, and agreeably to the
French accounts (for we have not feed
the Austrians nor English) the Austri
ans were forced to retreat with the loss
of 3000 prisoners, and 2000 killed.—
sth. On the iith, another battle took
place, which Gen. Moreau represents
as favorable to the Republican arms ;
and in which the Austrians loft 2000
prisoners. This is a faithful sketch of
the five battles in Suabia ; which we
have given, for the ease of those .who
will not take the trouble to wade thro'
the details of accounts. We must
here observe that on 10th May, Gen.
Moreau dates from Biberach ; and on
the 16th at Huninguen, which is with
in the French territory in Alsace ; a
retrogade position of nearly 90 miles.
In these five actions, according to the
French accounts, (and being from Gen.
Moreau, they are intitled to belief)
the Austrians have loft near 18,000
men made prisoners ; besides killed and
wounded. —The French loss, too, is
represented as exceedingly heavy :—•
The French General remarking that
“ Nothing could exceed the ardour and ob
findcy of the tivo armies." If we were
to hazard a conjecture on the fubje&,it
would be, that the French must speedi
ly retreat out of Suabia ; with as much
rapidity as they have advanced into
that circle. Kray is in force, and was
concentrating, at the last dates, all his
troops; and his excellent cavalry was
in a position to act with effed. Mo
reau it is true is one of the firft Gener
als in this age of Generals.—His troops
are full of spirit, bravery and enter
prize ; but we think must give way to
the concentrated force of German difei
pline and courage, exerted on its own
foil, and having at its command all the
resources of the country.
