“Downing-street, April 28, 1800.”
A dispatch of which the following is an extract, has been received from the right hon. Lord Minto, his majesty's envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary at Vienna, by the right hon. Lord Grenville, his majesty's secretary of state for the foreign department.
Vienna, April 22, 1800.
MY LORD,
“I have the satisfaction to acquaint your lordship that the campaign has opened in Italy by an important success on the side of the Austrians. On the 6th instant general Melas attacked the several posts occupied by the French to the northward and westward of Savona, and Vado, and drove them from the positions of Torre della Buona, Mont Notte, and several others: some of these posts were strongly intrenched, and some of them defended by three thousand men; but they were carried by the courage and conduct of the Austrian troops, who appear to have acquired much honor on this day.”
“The enemy retired with precipitation on Vado and Savona, leaving their cannon and about 300 prisoners, among whom is a chief de brigade and several officers of distinction. In the night between the 6th and 7th the troops evacuated Vado, having destroyed the stores and spiked the cannon and retired by sea towards Nice. Their number is supposed to have been between 7 and 800.”
“The Austrians took possession of Vado in the morning and found 17 pieces of heavy artillery.—Gen. Melas immediately invested Savona.”
It is stated in letters from Hamburg, that the emperor Paul has publicly announced that he has withdrawn from the coalition.
April 30.
The king of Prussia, it is reported is now forming a league in the north of Germany, the object of which is to place obstacles in the way of the aggrandizement of his neighbors. It is said that Sweden, and Denmark seem disposed to enter into it, and that one of the first successes obtained by it was the recall of the Russian forces from the theatre of the continental war.
The cause of the displeasure of the emperor Paul is said to have arisen originally from the refusal of allowing him to take possession of Malta.

The chief consul was expected at Dijon about the 30th of April. His guard was to be at Dijon on the 27th, and preparations were making to get his palace in readiness by that day.
The march of a Spanish army towards Portugal is unfounded.
It is stated in letters from Hamburg that the Emperor Paul has publicly announced he has withdrawn from the coalition.
We received this morning the Paris papers of the 29th of April, one day later than those which arrived the day before yesterday. It appears by a private letter from Strasburgh, dated the 25th, that the French have crossed the Rhine, and that a battle had taken place. “The armies,” says the letter, “have been engaged ever since six in the morning. It is now nine o'clock, and the advantage begins to be on our side. It was our centre that made the attack.” It seems rather extraordinary, as that there is a telegraphic line from Strasburgh to Paris, no intelligence has been communicated of a later date than those of the 25th of April,
One of the Paris papers asserts, on the authority of accounts from Germany, that general Hohenzollern has taken the Bochetta, after storming six lines of intrenchments with dreadful slaughter. Should this prove true Genoa must fall instantly.
The army of the reserve is rapidly encreasing in strength. It was on the 24th of last month about 70,000 strong and fresh troops were expected to arrive. A part of the army is in motion—Two divisions have filed off towards Geneva.
The chief coutil was expected at Dijon about the 30th of last month. His guards was to be at Dijon on the 27th, and preparations were making to get his palace in readiness by that day.
Extract of a letter from our correspondent at Plymouth, dated Wednesday evening last.
“The Louisa armed brig arrived this morning from the Straits, with dispatches from Admiral Duckworth, which contain an account that he had fallen in with a Spanish convoy from Carthagena to Lima, consisting of three frigates and 14 sail of merchantmen, having on board 150 tons of quicksilver and other goods, and that he had the good fortune to capture 2 of the frigates and 11 sail of the convoy, all of which were safe arrived in port.”
May 5.
We received this morning, by express, the Paris journals of the 29th ult. In the Journal des Debats we find an official article dated Florence, April 12. This contains the important intelligence that the Pass of the Bochetta, termed “the key of Genoa,” and which has hitherto been deemed impregnable, has been taken by the Austrians under count Hohenzollern, on the 9th ult. by assault. They had to force no less than six lines of intrenchments, which they did in despite of the most obstinate and desperate resistance. The French army under General Massena is by this achievement, completely enveloped, and pressed in every direction. On the north there is now no strong place to impede the advances of Count Hohenzollern: on the east is General Ott's division aided by the insurgents of Fontana Buona; on the west is General Melas, on the Heights Savona, with an army consisting originally of 40,000 men; and to the south, in the Gulph of Genoa, is the squadron of Lord Keith, who according to letters from Leghorn of the 4th ult. failed from thence on board the Audacious of 74 guns, for the express purpose of co-operating with the movements of the Austrians in the Genoese territory. The army of Massena, which is thus hemmed in on every side, is said to consist of about 15,000. If the desperate attempt which the French generals promised for the 21st ult. should not succeed, and its success is beyond all probability, there can be little doubt but that the whole of this army will be compelled to a speedy surrender.
In the official account abovementioned, it is said that Gen. Melas “had entered in part to Savona.” By this we presume is meant that he was master of so much of the place as was not under the immediate fire of the citadel.
Letters from Strasburgh of the 23d, say, “that the army of the Rhine was actually engaged, that the action commenced at six o'clock in the morning, and at nine o'clock the advantage began to turn on the side of the French. This intelligence, though thus circumstantially given, we totally disbelieve. If any action had taken place on the Rhine near Kehl on the 25th it is not possible that the result should be known at Paris on the 28th and particularly as there is a telegraphic communication between the capital and Strasburgh. Our readers will recollect that the same intelligence was given in the Paris papers of the 27th and nearly in the same terms. In these cases we can only suppose the fact to be that a partial cannonade has been interpreted at some distance into a general action.”
France.
PARIS, 9th Floreal—April 29. The gazettes of Tyrol and upper Suabia say that on the 8th the imperial troops got possession of Savona and Vado; that at that time general Massena was at Ge-
noa, and consequently cut off from the rest of his army which had fallen back on Albenga, so that the French troops who were at Genoa, Gavi, Bochetta, and the Riviera di Lavanti, were blockaded by sea and land. The foreign gazettes ground the news upon no official report. It is difficult to believe that general Massena was cut off and separated from his army on the 8th, since, by the official reports to the consuls, that general on the 9th and 10th attacked the enemy at Safello and Albisola; that on the 11th he repulsed them, taking near 6,000 prisoners; and that on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, he was occupied in pursuing the career of his success.
It is said that two vessels sent by a house at Marseilles with provision for the French at Malta, have reached their place of destination. The French have abandoned the suburbs of the town to retire into the forts, and have embarked on board the Guillaume Tell all the sick in order to diminish the consumption of provisions. The place is in a condition to hold out for several months, even should it not be re-victualled.
J. J. Ayme has been restored to all the rights of a French citizen, and is no longer under the superintendence of the police.
Letters from Turin state, that the duke of Aosta, the king of Sardinia's brother, will take the command of the Piedmontese troops who act with the Austrians.
The conservative senate has appointed Simeon, Perreau and Beaujour, to the three vacant places in the tribunal.
Two letters from the count de la Saulay formerly a general in the service of France have been intercepted: one was addressed to a lady, and the other to M. de Sarsine, formerly lieutenant of police, and now at Tarragone.—In these letters he announces, that the Russians are retiring from the coalition; that there is no more hope for the monarchy; that the Bourbons are dispersed one at Mittau, his brother at London, the duke d'Angouleme at Mittau the duke de Berry at Naples, the Prince of Conde at Grodno, and his son at London.
ARMY OF ITALY.
Florence, April 11.
The following official Bulletin has just been published here:
“A courier from field marshal count Hohenzollern, arrived this moment brings the pleasing intelligence that the Bochetta was taken on the 9th of April by assault. Six rows of works, which appeared impregnable, were scaled by our troops with a heroic valour, notwithstanding the most obstinate resistance on the part of the enemy. The main body of the army has besides taken possession of the fort of Vado, and has partly entered Savona. The loss the enemy has sustained is much more considerable than ours. The French are surrounded, and defend themselves with desperation.—The details will be immediately published.”
“Marquis SOMMARIVA, Maj. Gen.”
Florence, April 11, 5 in the evening.
ARMY OF THE RHINE.
Letters from Strasburgh, under date the 5th Floreal, April 25, contain the following intelligence: “The armies have been engaged since six o'clock in the morning. It is now nine, and the advantage begins to be apparently on our side. The attack was made by our centre.”
April 27.
The minister of general police has addressed a circular letter to the prefects of the departments, exhorting them to superintend the emigrants who may make attempts to return to France. They are desired to enforce the execution of the laws against emigration in the strictest manner; and he concludes with observing, that the most inflexible justice with respect to the emigrants can alone consolidate the public.
Two vessels laden with provisions have entered the port of Malta. The French abandoned the environs, and withdrew into the forts. It is in a condition to hold out for some months longer.
BRUSSELS, April 17.
Letters from Paris which may be considered as authentic, speak in the following manner:—It is certain that negotiations between Government and the
Emperor of Germany are pursued with activity. Belgium is the only obstacle to peace. England and Austria are so determined on that point, that it is thought they will not recede from it.
DIJON, April 24.
ARMY OF RESERVE.
General Carnot, brother to the minister of war, sets out tomorrow for Paris with important communications to the government. The general in chief, Berthier, requested him to defer his departure for one day, on account of dispatches, not less important, perhaps which he might have to send to the first consul.
We expect every moment at head quarters news from the Rhine, where hostilities must have commenced. Gen. Berthier has left one of his aids-de-camp with the army, who is to bring him an account of events, which cannot but be fortunate, when we consider the number, valor, disposition and situation of the army of the Rhine.
The army of reserve was on the 29th Germinal, (April 19) composed already of 54,000 men; it has since been encreased by the 59th of the line, two battalions of the 9th light, and 22d cavalry, the 58th of the line, the 44th, and very numerous detachments of conscripts, so that it is not now less than from 70 to 72,000 men. Conscribers are sent in great numbers to Chalons on the Soane, to which the right wing extends, and to Mentz.
This army begins to move. The division of gen. Wartin is filing off towards Geneva; several corps are already on their march. The division of General Loison has orders to follow the same route immediately. A part of the administration of subsistence, butchers and bakers are going to the Leman.
All the troops that have arrived within these few days have come by forced marches.—They marched twelve and thirteen post-leagues in a day.
Although two divisions of the army are on their march, the arrival of the chief consul is not less certain, the internal decorations of his palace are carried on, and some alterations have been made to encrease the embellishment. Can it be supposed that these preparations are for nothing, or only for a single moment? the arrival of the chief consul is announced for this decade.
To the troops who are filing off towards Geneva, articles for the field, with which the magazines are abundantly supplied are delivered. A great quantity of cloathing, is also delivered.
The consular guard is to arrive on the 27th—it consists of 13 officers and 707 non-commissioned officers and privates.—It is to be followed by 12 horses of artillery and 352 horses of equipage. The chief consul's horses will arrive on the same day.
It is announced that from the present period to the 4th of May, fresh troops will arrive, among whom are the second division of the 13th demi-brigade; the 20th cavalry; 2000 men of the 30th, & detachments of the 3d cavalry, the 19th dragoons, the 24th light demi-brigade, the 96th and 43d. The latter detachments arrived on the 4th.
Forty generals are in this town. Couriers set off every instant from head-quarters, and others arrive from different points from Geneva, the Rhine and Paris. Nothing transpires relative to their contents.
A considerable convoy of firelocks was sent yesterday evening to Besancon. All the generals here have given at the consular palace a brilliant fete to the general in chief Berthier. Several ladies in the town were invited as well as the wives of the superior officers. The entertainment was extremely magnificent.

THE PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.
We have the satisfaction to state, that the president has attended to the accounts which we have published, and that he has thought it his duty to go in person to the office of the treasury, and direct enquiries to be made and statements to be made out of various accounts.

Among others we learn, that Mr. Pickering's have been particularly attended to. On this occasion we shall think it our duty to suspend the publication of any further of Mr. Pickering's accounts than we have already done, until we see whether the statements now making out, are correct or deceptions—we shall however recapitulate the balances which appear upon Mr. Nourse's files to be due of Mr. Pickering, upon the accounts and at the dates which we have published yesterday.
RECAPITULATION.
   Dolls Cts.     No. I. British treaty Fund —The first warrant under this head is dated 27 May, 1776, the last October 12, 1798, of the warrants and expenditures since there is no account, this account was so far settled on the 1st of January 1800, the balance then unaccounted for 32,828 96   No. II. On the Continent Fund —the amount drawn being only so much as was issued from the treasury between the 16th March, 1795 and October 3, 1796, inclusive, which account was settled the 29th of March last. 10,386 7   No. III. Spanish Treaty —The first warrant is dated 31st January 1797 the last, 10 April, 1799—and the account was also settled on the 1st of January 1800, only the balance unaccounted for 56,965 61   [This account is very remarkable as it appears that only 11,798 dollars 59 cents were accounted for on the 1st of January last, when the enormous sum of 68,764 dollars had been issued. It is also deserving of remark that two sums of ten thousand dollars were issued in March and April, 1799. When did Dr. Stevens sail for St. Domingo?   No. IV. Prize Causes —The warrants for this account are dated between the 26th May, 1798, and 12 February 1800, according to the files the account was settled on the 11th January, 1800, but there are credits given on the 15th January, and 12th February following, but their amount is fairly credited—the balance unaccounted for is 54,000 76   No. V. Barbary Powers —This account in amount and importance deserves more consideration than all the rest. The first warrant was issued on the 31st December 1796 and successively down to the 20th September, 1798, amounting to the sum of 324,799 86   This amount was settled on the 1st of January, 1800, at the treasury as appears by Mr. Nourse's files and there had been then accounted for as expended only 27,063 12   Balance due 297,736 74   [Monies issued between 1st of October, 1798, and the 17th April, 1800, are not stated in the account on the 13th of April, 1800. Notwithstanding the above balance was unaccounted for, Mr. Pickering drew by a warrant, No. 9612 50,000   Making a balance unaccounted for of 347,736 74   Making altogether the enormous sum of 501,918 14    These sums the editor has compared with the official files in the presence of three witnesses; if there is any error in them it rests with the officers of the treasury.
ANOTHER GROSS ERROR CORRECTED.
In the statement of Mr. Pickering's account of receipts and disbursements, under the head of Barbary Powers in Saturday's Aurora . The credit was fairly stated at     27,063  12    But the balance was stated by the omission of a single figure, 300,000 dollars less than it appears on the files of the register of the treasury, it should stand instead of the sum of 47,736 74—the true balance unaccounted for     347,736  74  
Making the whole sum received     374,799  80  
From the American Daily Advertiser.
MR. CLAYPOOLE, I am compelled by the considerations of justice and personal attachment to Col. Pickering to declare, that the recent publications in the Aurora , respecting his pecuniary transactions while Secretary of state, are unfounded.
The accounts of the Department, while it was conducted by Colonel Pickering, have been exhibited at the Treasury, and it is expected that they will be finally settled soon after the offices are opened at Washington. It appears from these accounts, that a balance of about 500 dollars remained in his hands when he retired from office; this sum was deposited in the Bank of the United States, and has this day been returned to the Treasury.
The balances to which the publications in the Aurora refer, are the aggregate amounts of sums, which have been remitted to public agents chiefly residing in foreign countries;—the payments made by the late Secretary of State are supported by regular vouchers, and although in many instances they constitute charges against individuals in the books of that department; they will exonerate the Secretary from pecuniary responsibility.
The nature of the public service requires that monies should be entrusted to agents on account, and the practice has been common in every department, since the first establishment of the government.
OLIVER WOLCOTT. Treasury Department, } June 23d, 1800. }
TO THE EDITOR.
SIR, I have read with much surprise the letter of Mr. Wolcott, published in Claypoole's paper of this morning, individually, you have cause for exultation by the force it gives to the facts you have brought forward, but I cannot congratulate the public on the confirmation it affords to the suspicions already gone abroad.
I do not wonder that Mr. Wolcott should kindly sympathize with Mr. Pickering. I am not surprised at this fellow-feeling between them—nor that they find it necessary to say something in reply to accusations so formidable; but I do wonder they have not contrived a better defence, and that Mr. Wolcott should venture in the very first paragraph of his letter to state boldly to the public what he knows to be untrue.
He says, the recent publications in the Aurora respecting Mr. Pickering's accounts, are unfounded. Mr. Wolcott knows that so far from being unfounded, they are not only founded upon, but are transcripts from, the original accounts in his own department. Let Mr. Wolcott if he dare produce official transcripts of the originals, himself, and shew, if he can the variance. Mr. Wolcott however in tender concern for Timothy Pickering daringly ventures to palm upon the public a flagrant untruth. This noble pair of friends (like Pylades and Orestes) are so careful of each other, that they are careless of themselves; and to save the falling reputation of Timothy, Oliver Wolcott boldly determines to sacrifice his own.
"The accounts of the department while it was conducted by Col. Pickering have been exhibited at the Treasury."
"Have they? All of them? Are the vouchers found that were lately required, and for want of which the accounts were returned to Mr. Pickering? Have they been exhibited, en masse, or in detail? If they have been exhibited, have they been examined? most probably not, for Mr. Wolcott assures that when expected they will be finally settled soon after the offices are opened at Washington!" Whenever they shall be finally settled, the public will be in no small degree indebted for that event to the AURORA .
By unfounded, does Mr. Wolcott mean false? fabricated? Does he mean (if he hath indeed any other meaning than to blind the eyes of the public by general denials and round assertions) that the Balances stated in the Aurora as unaccounted for by Mr. Pickering on the days in that paper mentioned, are not the same unaccounted balances at the same time which appear against Mr. Pickering in the original books of account in Mr. Wolcott's own department? Will Mr. Wolcott assert this? If he does, he asserts a falsehood and he is challenged to produce to the public the accounts themselves.
If there be error in the statements of the Aurora , how easy was it for Mr. Wolcott to shew it, who has the paramount control over the treasury department! The Editor of the Aurora it seems can take this trouble for the sake of the public, but Oliver Wolcott and Timothy Pickering will neither take it for the public or themselves!!! How admirably this dignified reserve becomes them! What a noble spirit of contradiction on behalf of his friend Timothy, Wolcott has exhibited! He contradicts not only the Editor of the Aurora , but himself; & daringly stands forward to the world to say, that the transcripts of the accounts of his own DEPARTMENT, upon which the evidence of public expenditure is ultimately to rest, ARE UNFOUNDED!!!
But they are only unfounded in the first paragraph of this most original epistle: for strange to say, they appear in the third paragraph to be perfectly well founded! "The balances (says Mr. Wolcott) to which the publications in the Aurora refer, are the aggregate amount of sums which have been remitted to ministers and other public agents, chiefly residing in foreign countries." Indeed! Mr. Wolcott! So then these balances—these statements in the Aurora , are actually founded upon the accounts in your own department! How difficult it is for those who seek to conceal the truth to preserve consistency! Mr. Wolcott I fear has undertaken a task which requires a much better memory than he seems to possess.
But I apprehend that you Mr. Editor, could never have supposed, or have meant to insinuate to the public that Mr. Pickering had embezzled, or was unable to pay the sum of 501,000 dollars, appearing against him; on the contrary, I apprehend that the accounts and statements you have brought forward tend to prove that he has made, or might have made an ENORMOUS FORTUNE from his office and his agencies, after fully paying up all the balances that the treasury accounts exhibit.
The complaints which the public have a right to make from the documents you have brought before them are, 1st. That Mr. Pickering having the liberty of drawing for hundreds of thousands of dollars at his discretion, and before there is an absolute want of them, may thus borrow from the public, for 6 or 12 months together enormous sums: and speculate with them to a profit of eight per cent to himself, while the public is at the same time borrowing money at that enormous interest.
For instance, the 8 per cent loan occasioned a great deal of speculation and stock jobbing; a hundred thousand dollars borrowed from the public coffers at that time, would have afforded a profit that might have furnished the little parlour of Mr. Pickering's cottage in Luzerne, very snugly. What Mr. Pickering might have done under this convenient perquisite of discretionary draughts, other officers might have done also: & the public may have borrowed at 8 per cent their own money from their own servants!
Whenever Mr. Pickering will furnish a statement of the comparative dates and the sums of his draughts on the Treasury and his payments for public services, we shall know whether Mr. Pickering is so poor a man as he pretends to be: for 100,000 dollars drawn in January may be paid in December.
2nd. The public have a right to complain that Mr. Pickering, who has undertaken the arduous office of Secretary of State, should also be permitted to monopolize so many agencies. They are duties, if not inconsistent yet accumulated with the most bare faced impropriety. Are these agencies performed for nothing? Would not the perquisites of two per cent furnish the poor man's table with whisky in the back country?
3rd. The public have a right to complain, that the officers of the government are ever permitted to draw on the treasury in favour of themselves at all. Why cannot they draw in favour of the persons to whom they pay the money, at the time they pay it? Does a merchant keep 10 or 12000 dollars in his desk to pay little accounts, while he has his bank to draw upon?
4th. The public have a right to complain that these treasury accounts appear to tell one thing, when Mr. Wolcott the Treasurer, declares they mean nothing like it. Is this the way of keeping the accounts of the public? Yes it is—if the public are to be kept in the dark.
5th. The public have a right to complain that these accounts are not more regularly, more frequently, and more fully made up and submitted to the public & that there is not some easy method of checking the vouchers, without depending entirely on Mr. Nourse and Mr. Steele!
The public have a right to complain, that any taxes are laid upon them, or any loans are made at eight per cent, till these unaccounted for millions are satisfactorily accounted for: not by Mr. Wolcott contradicting the statements of his own department—not by accounts holding out to the public one meaning, and concealing another—not by accounts partially exhibited without correspondent vouchers—not by general assertions unaccompanied by proofs and contradicted by the asserter himself—but by fair, full and intelligible statements; which the public may be enabled to understand, and in whose authenticity they can confide.
It is the duty of Mr. Wolcott, as a citizen, and by a solemn oath to produce them: he is paid and well paid for taking care, that they shall be forthcoming—if he means to remove the doubts that now haunt the public mind, he will produce such accounts: and, until he does, suspicion will whisper, that
"There is something rotten in the state of Denmark."

The emperor of Germany has pledged himself to reinstate the king of Sardinia in his dominions, possessed by him before the war. A treaty to that effect has lately been concluded between the two monarchs.

BY LAST EVENING'S MAIL.
LONDON, May 1.
Yesterday we received by express, Paris Journals to the 27th ult. inclusive. The Moniteur of that date contains the relation of the late battles in Italy, officially transmitted to the chief consul by the generals Souchet and Oudinot...
Seldom have official details been so artfully confused, and so well calculated to impress an opinion, the reverse of the true state of facts, which can be made out with assistance of a map, and the former accounts. Upon a hasty perusal, we find there has been a succession of engagements from the 6th to the 15th inclusive, in all of which the French have had the advantage, making 8,000 prisoners.
But these letters, so flattering to the French, make no mention of the fall of Vado, nor do they acknowledge that Massena, and the greatest part of his army, are cut off from France, except by sea. Souchet, indeed finds himself "detached" from Massena, and more at hand to send accounts to Paris; that is, he is cut off from Massena, and between the Austrians and France, while the Austrians are between Massena and France. It is not owned that Savona is besieged, but assurances are given that Savona and Gavi, "are provisioned." Why are we not also informed that Genoa & other forts are provisioned? Because they are not in immediate danger, Massena we are told attacked the Austrians at Saffello & Abissola on the 10th; the action lasted the whole day, and on the 11th he drove back the enemy. On the 10th he must have been repulsed and pursued, or how could he drive back the enemy on the 11th? As he made the attack he could not drive back his opponents without having been repulsed, since to drive back supposes a previous pressure.
On the 13th, 14th, and 15th, warm actions took place; all of which, according to Souchet's letter, terminated in favor of the French.
This is false. The obvious object of those actions was to expel the Austrians from the height of Savona, and to re-open the communication between Genoa and France. In this object Massena failed. Souchet is still more anxious to conceal his own misfortune than that of Massena. He never retreats but after a victory. He repulsed the Hungarian grenadiers with great loss from Mologno, but he does not say that he lost the post; an event which must have taken place, since we find him claiming much merit for afterwards taking it. On the 10th, Clauzel, under Souchet, "fought all day" near St. Jacques, but no result is mentioned, though the letter is dated the 16th. On the 12th says Souchet, "we fought all day," again he conceals the result. Would he not have boasted had it been in his favor.
Stripping these letters of mere boast, and putting out of consideration the number of killed, wounded, and prisoners on either side, the following appears to be the true state of facts: the Austrian general Melas attacked the whole French line on the 6th of April: but he made two principal efforts, the one on the east side of Genoa, along the sea coast, which failed, the French taking 2,500 men, and Baron D'Aspre, prisoners; the other across the mountains covering Savona, which succeeded. This last was by far the most important, and the former was probably only a diversion in its favor. No attack was made on the Bochetta, as stated in the former French papers. At this time, the 6th ult. Massena had his head quarters at Genoa; but the command of that city, and its defence in Eastern Riviera, were especially entrusted to general Miollis. The heights of Savona and the line of mountains, were defended by strong posts occupied by two divisions, the one under the command of general Soult, which treached towards Genoa, and the other commanded by general Souchet, which treached towards France. These divisions have appeared to have joined near Montenotte, on the Bormida, and it was by this way that Melas advanced on the 6th, driving in all the posts, defeating Soult's left wing and compelling his division to fall back towards the eastward; one part to protect the Bochetta, and another to garrison and provide Savona against a siege, which Soult foresaw would take place, as he found himself unable to resist the progress of the Austrians. By this combined attack, Massena's attention was divided on the 6th; and as he went to the assistance of Miollis to the eastward of Genoa, Melas no doubt found an easier passage to the sea coast, than he might otherwise have experienced. Souchet's division was not engaged till the 7th. He was then driven from St. Jacques, next from Mologno; and lastly, finding a column of Austrians, ascending the Tanaro, had reached Pieva, and threatened to surround him, he fell back Westward to the line of Borghetto; and the Austrians reached the sea-coast, taking Vado investing Savona, and cutting off one half of the French army from the other. Massena, apprised now of his critical situation resolved on making a vigorous effort to re-establish his communication with Souchet and France, by recovering the heights of Savona. For this purpose he instructed Souchet to attack the Austrians on his side on the 9th and 10th, while Massena attacked them at the same time on the other side. We find that Souchet retook Mologno, and was fighting briskly on the 11th and 12th.
We find also that on the 10th Massena attacked the Austrians at Abissola on the sea-coast, and at Saffello on the mountains; but we neither find that he raised the siege of Savona, or re-established his communications with Souchet. Massena continued the attack with great vigor on the 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th; and though we are told of advantages and numbers of prisoners can perceive that he failed, the Austrian line remained unbroken. On the 21st, another great effort was to be made, which would decide the fate of one of the armies. Massena is an excellent general and may extricate himself from his critical situation, but his fate is at present very doubtful. The Telegraphic order for all the troops in march to move from France to Albenga by forced marches, shews the feeling of danger. The report in the former Paris Journals of the re-taking of Montenotte, and of the Austrians at Savona being cut off was unfounded. The assurance in Oudinot's letter, that "Savona is provisioned," sufficiently shews that the place was besieged when the last accounts came away. Oudinot must have gone from Massena to Souchet by sea; he could not pass it by land unless the Austrians were surrounded, a fact which would have been eagerly announced, if true. What essential service might not the British navy have rendered by blockading Genoa.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
ELEGIAE ODE.
WHEN the stroke of the woodman had ceas'd in the vale, And the sweet Philamela had finis'd her song; A sage child of sorrow repeated his tale, And sigh'd to the stream as it murmur'd along.
"I have seen the glad prospect which led me astray, Change its lustre, and fade like the tints of the morn;
I have seen the meridian splendor to day, But nights have succeeded and found me forlorn.
"I have seen as I pass'd, how the rose blushing gay, To the gale of the morning its bosom display'd; I returned; but its beauties had faded away, And the pride of the morn e'er the ev'ning was dead.
"I have seen, (oh how lovely!) the maid of the dale, Flush'd with health and with beauty triumphantly tread, But alas! neither beauty nor health could avail, For all that was lovely, with Laura is dead.
"How delusive is hope! oh how transient the stay Of the sun beam that gilds our terrestrial scene! How short is the pleasure of man's brightest day, And the blasts of misfortune how piercingly keen
"How blank is the prospect, how gloomy the day, Which is clouded with care, and o'er-shadow'd with woe,
How dreary, unfocial and cheerless the way, Which the children of sorrow must wander below!
"Oh when shall the pilgrim arrive at his home, And man to his parent in gladness return; Oh! when shall our sorrows be lost in the tomb, And the wretched forget with the wretched to mourn."
Thus nightly he sang, and the swains lov'd to hear, For his accent was gentle and mild as the dew; Till they dropp'd o'er his tale of misfortune a tear, And shrunk from the world and the picture he drew.
ORIGINAL ANECDOTE.
A few evenings since in a company of gentlemen and ladies, some doubts were suggested concerning the etymology of a word, which being removed by one present--a young sprig of law oblered, "Oh! have you studied greek"--yes sir (replied the other)--why then you have been as d--d a fool as I have been, for I spent two years very foolishly in the study of the languages--pray (says the etymologist) what greek authors did you read--"the last I read (replied the other) was Lexicon ."
