g neral Guieux carried this village of Arcole—but
retired with prifoners and four pieces of cannon.
The Auftrians in the night lent their v*lu.hlis to
Vicenza—drew their whole force towards R >nco—
and again occupied Arcole in force. Nov. 16. the
Auftrians commenced the attack—Mafiena worked
the enemy, look 1 500 prifoners, 6 cannon and 4
frandards. Angereau likewife repul led the enemy
but could not carry Arcole, Seven generals were
wounded before this village. Buonaparte endea
