Translated from a Paris paper of May IC.
HAVRfc MAY 6
A memorable a&ion, highly glorious for the
captain of the Vengeance, has been fought at
Guadaloupe ; but we are sorry to add, that
the blood of two friendly nations has been fpilt,
the crime lays at the door of those who diflurb
ed their tranquility.,
The following are the details of this unfortu
nate rencontre, given by a passenger of the
frigate La Vengeance, who returned to Guada-
Joupe from Curracoa, where he found an oppor
tunity to get to France.
“ I embarked with 60 passengers on board
the frigate " La Vengeance, of 4X 12 pounders
and 320 men. We left Guadaloupe, the 14th,
Pluviofe, last. The day after we met the A
roerican frigate CenfleUation, 0'54 I 8-pounders,
who gave us chafe. We determined to avoid
an a&ion, hut (he forced usto it. The action
commenced at 8 o'clock in the evening, and
laired 5 fucpffive hours, during which we fired
1200 (hot. .The mails of both frigufs fell over
board, causing in their fall a great number of ac.
cidents. All the rigging was cutto pieces and
the fails torn to rags. Towards the end of the
action we were within pistol (hot. We had 20
killed and 40 wounded.—The Americans must
haye toft a great number more, since tbey frft
ceased tb fre and left the "fete of battle". —They
had 500 men on board. We were too much
disabled to pursue them. The passengers assist
ed during the whole of the action.—We were
g days in getting to Curracoa, completely def.
titute of mails and fails. We heard that the
Corfcitation got into Jamaica."

With refpe& to the future movements of the
enemy, it is not improbable, that while separate
divisions are employed in the redu&ion of the
territories of Parma and Venice, others ts ill be
detached to the Medonefe,, with the view of
penetrating flill farther to the Tuscan domin
ions, if not ultimately to the kingdom of Na
ples. The view of Buonaparte evidently is to
cut off the retreat of the Austrians in ail pos
sible directions ; and this gigantic project he is
the better enabled to undertie, from the pow
erful acquisition of strength which he has lately
derived from the junction and co-operation of
the army of General Moncey from Switzer,,
land, while Thurreau keeps in check 2 consi
derable part of the Imperia! force, and even
threatens Turin on the other fide of Piedmont.
On the direction of the Tanaro, too, a vigor

IMPORTANT ' OBSERVATIONS.
The London morning Post of June 19,
Imakes the following observations on
the operations in Italy, of which they
!ha^at that tin^ received the accounts:
"The Progrcfs which the Arnff of
Reserve under the immediate orders
of the Chief Consul, continues to make,
is of a nature perhaps unprecedented
for its rapidity and success, in the an
nals of modern warfare. It is true that,
'in their impetuous career, the enemy
have hitherto met with no formidable
reSftance from their astonished oppo
nents ; but from an attentive perusal
of the official details, it will neverthe-
Ifofs be found, that, in the numerous and
iimportant enterprises already achieved
;by them, they have surmounted diffi
!culties of the most extensive and mighty
description. For their astonishing suc
cesses, however, they seem to have been
no,lefs indebted to the unaccountable
ignorance and oversight of General
Melas, than to the vigour of their own
arms, and the fkilful promptitude of
aiftheir movements. Hitherto the Irh
; perial Chief so fir frbm Having oppof
''ed any effgaual refinance to tne pro
gress of the Chief Consul,. does not ap
pear to have been acquainted either
with the nature of his designs, or the
-strength of his forces ; and those very
events, which by his intercepted dis
patches he seems to have been most
anxious to guard against, had actually
taken place erelie nad penned his in
ftrudions on the fubje&. Several ftrohg
"places, upoj/felfich he evidently phced
much reliance, had furretydered to/th^
enemy afothe very moment that Melas
was writing to their Commanders to be
adive, as ' well in the defence of theit
refyedive pofti;, as in providing the ne
cessary means as fubfiftencefor the main
body of the Imperial army in Pied
mont.—The magazines, ordnance, and
(lores of which the French have posses-
Ted themselves in each of these places,
are immense ; and Buonaparte, having
made himfelf mailer of all the military
secrets of the Austrian Chief, by an in- j
tercepted correspondence, becomes ac
quainted, cf entfrfe, with the Hate of
the fortieses which yet remain unfub
dued,and with the resources upon which;
the Austrian army were led to depend. ;
" The dispatches from the various officers of
die Army of Reserve corce down to the gth,
oncertainty of whose motions, and the appar-i
"ent fecblencfs of whose measures, have hither
to afforded all possible advantages to the prompt
and vigorous operations of bis opponent. At
tempting we fear too late to correct the egre
gious error of his former march to the Var, he
has caused General Elfnith to abandon the whole
county of Nice with a view of joining the main
body of the Imperial army in Piedmont. Sou
chet, of course, has not failed to avail himfelf of
this favorable circumstance. Already has he
obtained some advantage over the retreating
force, and so close Is the pursuit, that the ene
my even affect to hope that they will be able
to destroy the greater part of them, ere they
can afford any fuccour to their distressed, and
seemingly unfortunate Chief. According to his
own admission, General Melas is now reduced
to a very critical situation for want of the nC
cefcry supplies of provisions, of which he has
been deprived by the rapid incursions of the
French to the Adda and the Po. Most of the
fortreffes are, in this refpe&, in a very bad con
dition, and be appears to have no other alter
native left but to make a grand effort against
the enemy with all the forces he can collect
(which is probably his intention) or to throw
himfelf at once into the fortrefs of Alcffandria
.or Torrona. He had sent an order to Gen.
Ottto raise the blockade of Genoa, and to re- 1
pair immediately to his affittance ; but the ve
ry moment that this order reached Ott, he Tt
,ceived rhc-propofal of Maffena to. Surrender the
city. From the terms of the - Convention, we
cannot be induced to confider this event as ve
ry favorable to the Austrian cause. Maffena's
army, in consequence of it, comes immediately
into active co-operation with that of Souchet,
while the Imperial corps which must necessari
ly he left to garrison the place, is threatened
by |he rapid jregrefs cf the Ccnfular force, to
vetting the citadel of Milan, the fortreffes of
Pizzighitone, and Pefchiera ; the fall of which
was shortly expe&ed to pave the way to the in
vestiture of Mahtua, while the enemy also pen
etrated with rapidity through the territory of
Parma towards the Genoefe country. Being
joined by the corps of Gen. Moncey, which
passing Mount St. Gothard has fuccefsfully pen
etrated to Milan, the enemy may now be said
to be in complete occupation of the whole of
the Milanese, a considerable part of th^„%|F
tian territory, and of the Dutchy of ftmre;
besides a great portion of the Piedmoncefe coun

" Paris, March 22, zBOO.
" I Confefs, my dear general, that lam not
at all fatisfied with your last dispatches. Why
those eternal complaints and reproaches? Do
you think we might have managed affairs
better ? We do not rest on beds of roses here ;
and if cur armies are in want, it is byeaufe eUr
resources are extremely weak. The mog pres
sing orders have already been giving for Ap
plying you with the nlceffiry articles--You must
have already received what concerns the ar
tillery department. Siriee the loan could not

instead of the four million that had been pro
mised. Apply this entirely to paying the ar
my, and let tbe contra dors and those employed
under them complain ; should those gentlemen
wiffi' tp quit the fervicc, menace them with
death, and be as good as your word; there is
no want of adventurers of that description,
whom the love of gain will allure to the army.
Our care must be directed to the soldier who
fuffets and fights. By no means count on the
reinforcements which you desire....
" If you find it difficult to maintain an army
of 30,000 men in the Genoefe, what would
you do with a still greater number? I cannot
spare a tingle demi-brigade of veteran troops;
all I am able to do for you is to keep a few
weak battalions of conscripts to the department
es Var, to disperse the discontented in the South
of France ; in case of necessity, you mightunite
those troops with your army. It, grieves me
that you fuffer ycurfelf to be milled by accounts
which ought not to be relied on. If the impe
rial army actually has the 133 battalions which
gives you so much uneasiness, what would be tire
consequence ? How is it possible for the enemy
to employ even one half of his forces in the
mountainous position you occupy ? Gan he at
tack you otherwise than with single columns ?
" lAnd are you not the brave, the fortunate
Maffena ! Do you not command the best infan
try in the World ! Is not the a&ive and intel
ligent French soldier superior to all the troops
of Europe, in mountainous diflri&s: ^efidcs the
enemy can convey provisions only for a small
number of troops in the mountains, as they are
in want of mules. No, my dear General, the
fupcriority of the enemy gives me no uneasiness,
that can OTly.be excited by the plans which
they may hit upon ; but strong as the situation
is, you are not entirely out of dagger. I wjll
tell you what a fkilful General might under
take against you.
" By daily attacks he would harrafs yout cen
ter and right wing towards the fourccs of the
Taro, the Bifagro, and la Poiveerra, while he
would vigorously attack the left, and endeavor
to gain one of the three pisses leading to Savo
na, Finale, and Albenga. Should he succeed in
this attempt your army would he divided into
two corps, and your communication with France
cut off. But I believe German caution will
never enter so daring a plan Meanwhile you
must carefully guard those three passes ; and
fhou'.d the enemy attack you and carry one of
those important points, (which is possible) then,
my dear General, you must fall upon him like
lightning, attack from the fide of Genoa, while
Suebet, attacks him from Nice, and destroy
every Austrian that should pass the Mountains."
