On lhe 2oth instant, the division of the

arid at the avenues of ^iffello. ", !
In the interval, tgoo men hdd been plac-1
ed In thri redoubt of Motenotte; to resist the 1
enemy, if they should attack them. . This |
redoubt was attacked on, the tzd of May by, q
an Ariftrian force ^commanded by general fl
Roccevina, who believing that^be ffiould be
able, to .force this post, intended : attf:rwards
to advance 40 Savona,in^ocder to^uf off the
retreat of the 500 men of VolHi^d.Y^g-:

<Thrcelimes the enemy, attacked this re

with the greweft vigor; they were obliged
to aba arfpp it gfter they had loft 400 men
killed ahd wounded ; among them were one
Colonel, two Lieutenant Colonels, a great
number of officers, arid' Gen. Roccevina
himfelß was wounded, according to all ac
counts; mortally. -rr.
These w4s no doubt but that on the 23d
the enemy would have tried a new attack on
this redoubt with freth troops. • General
Buonaparte tor k measures accordingly : he
gave orders to Genei al La Harpetfo take post
upon this height, while he^fhould bimfelf at
tack the enemy that were in front of the re
doubt ; and he ordered General Maffena to
march with all diligence in the night, to
take a portion in the rear of the enemy.
We all let out from Savona at two o'clock
in the morning, towards Altari. The at
tack took place at break of day at Montenot
te. The Austrians, were vigorously attack
ed by the division of Gen. La Harpe, & while
they were flying, General Massena having
taken themon the left wing, they were put
into such complete disorder, that, they loft
3500 men, ofwhoir >2OOO are made prifon
\era, and among these are orfe Col. the Aidde-i
camp of Argentpu, and about 60 officers.
The enemy were afterwards pursued in all
adire&ioQS, and here we are arrived It Carca

of Caira, which they have been obliged tq
, abandon to us^;
Gen. Buonaparte will make known,o,tyt|
the details of the trials of bravery that havj
fignalifed this da'y. I content myfelf with
faying, that the plan of the commander iq
chief could not have been more wifely con
certed, and that all generals,, officers, and
soldiers, have manifefted a courage and an
ardor truly heroic. Health and Fraternity.

prisoners. We took from them 40 field piec

gons, 15 flags, all their baggage and several
magazines. Out generals, officers and foL
diers were, on this occasion, all of them
crowned with glory, and shewed themselves
worthy of defending the cause of liberty.
« The Commander in chief, Buonaparte,
also direded this attack. The generals who
seconded him in the most distinguished man
met ^re Lchatpe, Angerean, Maffena, Cer
voni, Caffe, Mtenard, and Goubert. The last
was wounded in leaping into the enemy's ety
trepchments. Two other generals were killed

March 20th.
The concilia ofthe United States of
America'towards the French Repub
: lie, deserves to be looked into by the
government, for it may lead to con-
Sequences the most difadvantageoui.
Notwithstanding, the deceitful policy
of the President and Senate, notwith
standing the 'flattering compliments
Javifhed bn the Minister Pienipoten
tiiry< adet, when he prefeoted: to
Congrefette French flag, ata fork
ing token of finCCre friendfhip, it can
no longer be doubted that the Prefi-;
dent and Senate are entirely devoted'
to England. We know not whether
the diredoty has manifefted to that
power that calls itfelf our ally, which
however, tai in , manner very hurt
ful: to. our interefti, how much the,
French Republican# have been shock
ed at the partialjOTlhe tojufticr and
bad faith which diaared the last Trea^
ty signed in London, by the Miniftef
of George, and the envoy from the!
United States.,
We know tlOt Whether they have
remained fileot on^he fubjeft of the
thufes of that a& by Which the fo
fer^fa of France are wantonly fiSrfiic
ert Hind tie old engagements made
with her, fhamefully violated; but
we contend, cbacFrance having neg
ledfed nothing hitherto, to keep up a
htypy harmony between the iwo Re
publics, 'ana yet all doubt being re
moved of the exiftanceof the alliance
between Pitt and Washington
ought to take efficacious meaforei to
flop the baneful effect of this coast
tiop..
The nomination of a new Minister
Plenipotentiary, announces on the
part ofthe Directory, a similar dispo
sition : therefore, we will dispense ty
present, with pointing out any at this•
time, but the United State# will not
in future, be forgotten in our remarks
relative to diplomatic concern,,'

PREFACE to the DEADER.
1 HIS small volume of Tales and Stories is,
collected for thy diversion and inftruaion, &
may serve to (now thee what subtle devices
and malicious accusations were formed, laid
to attain to grandeur, and gratify malicious
and ambitious per sons. 1,
Here ,ou may observe, that the intent of
this small book-(written in an allegorical and
pleasant method) is to promote fiocerity and
fidelity, and to di(countenance treachery and
falfehood. IF,on are inclined to virtue,
herb are pfece<fe,ts to dire& you ; if to ioho, /
cence, here are rules to inftrua you ; and if
you would avoid vice, here are examples.
Which set before ^u the fcaridal and roifery
which attend a vicious life. In a word, ,od
may here team to despise vanity, to prize in
nocence, to expea &<& to escape hell, and
to ebtain heaven. ,, F
