CONTINUATION OF IMPORTANT Foreign Intelligence. Supplement Extraordinary to the Vienna Court Gazette, June 26.
The General of cavalry Count Melas has sent hither Captain Torres, of the quarter staff, with the previous advice, that the hostile Gen. Macdonald, after gaining the late advantage over the small corps of Gen. Count Hohenzollern, was advancing with a corps of about 35,000 men, by forced marches, from Modena against Piacenza, where Field Marshal Lieut. Ott had arrived shortly before with his weak division.
The disproportioned superiority of the enemy against the Field Marshal Lieut. induced the latter not to wait for a great attack, but to draw up behind the Tione, though continually fighting with the enemy's advanced guard, and to keep his out-posts beyond the Trebia.
In this position the General of cavalry, Melas, arrived on the 17th with a part of the Imperial royal army, and almost at the same time intelligence was received, that the enemy had attacked the chain of out-posts; it seemed to be the enemy's design to advance rapidly with one column on the causeway of Castello St. Giovanni, but with the column of the right wing to make themselves masters along the Po, of the road conducting to Pavia.
Gen. Melas ordered the whole division of Field Marshal Lieut. Ott to hasten to support the out-posts; and farther increased the said division with two battalions of the regiment of Frolich. The sudden approach of Field Marshal Count Suwarow Rimnikoy with the Imperial Russian advanced guard, and the courageous and resolute conduct of the division of Field Marshal Lieut. Ott, soon stopped the enemy's farther progress, and the latter, after several reiterated attacks beat off, were repulsed with considerable loss, and forced, at the approach of night, to abandon to us the left bank of Tidone and the field of battle. In the night the remainder of the Imperial Russian troops arrived; and on the next day, the 18th inst. a fresh attack of the enemy was immediately resolved on.
The army was divided into three columns: the two first consisted of the Imperial Russian troops, and the third and strongest of the divisions of Ott and Frolich. The preparations for the attack required more time than was expected, and the onset was not made till five in the afternoon. The combat was obstinate and bloody, and only the courage and steadiness of the Imperial royal and Imperial Russian troops, as well as of their leaders, vanquished all difficulties; the enemy were repulsed as far as the Trebia, and forced to leave us again masters of the field of battle.
Nevertheless, the enemy, by the movements among their Infantry on the right bank of the Trebia, seemed to intend a new attack for the 19th and our troops, who had now been four days without regular provisions, had no longer cooked their food, than the enemy passed the river with upwards of 2,000 cavalry, and with such impetuosity, that both their horse, and the most advanced detachments of their Infantry had already gained the principal road towards St. Nicolò. Gen. Melas, collecting our cavalry, attacked the enemy with such resoluteness, that they were in a short time driven back with very great loss, and vigorously pursued, both by our cavalry and Infantry.
General Melas, observes that, at that moment, he could not describe the many distinguished actions of the troops and individuals on those three memorable days; but referred to himself to give a detailed relation hereafter. For, on the 20th an attack had already been planned on our part; but the enemy deterred by their late defeats, and incapacitated by their considerable loss to stand a new attack, retreated during night; and, at dawn, we only found their rear guard, which was retreating towards Piacenza, where the enemy left behind as prisoners, four wounded Generals, namely, the Generals of division Rusca and Salm; farther, the Generals of Brigade Olivir and Chambray, with upwards of 2600 men in sick and wounded. In other quarters, upwards of 2000 more prisoners fell into our hands; and the field of battle covered with the enemies killed, shew the greatness of their loss.
Meanwhile our own loss, and that of the Imperial Russian troops, is not inconsiderable—respecting our own loss, the returns shall be sent in."
When the Courier came away such heaps of dead bodies covered the field of battle that it was then impossible to ascertain the number of killed: that of the enemy, however, is estimated at upwards of three thousand men. Our loss, too, is considerable, particularly in killed and wounded Officers.
General Kray has been sent off to harass the enemy in their retreat from Piacenza, and cut them off from Parma.
General Prince Lichtenstein had six horses killed under him.
The commandant of Mantua made a sortie with which his cavalry during these murderous actions, but was repulsed with considerable loss.

The Lisle fleets in the Mediterranean in magnitude and number, far exceed any ever known in those seas:—The English fleet, 52 sail of the line, carrying 2424 guns, and 36,000 men; the Portuguese, Russians and Turks, 19 sail of the line, 660 guns, and 14,200 men; total 71 ships, 3,084 guns, and 50,200 men. The Spaniards have 17 sail of the line, carrying 1,358 guns and 13,650 men; the French 25 sail of the line, 2,310 guns and 22,700 men; total 42 ships, 3,374 guns and 36,350 men. This great superiority of our fleet makes us hope that the enemy's fleets cannot effect any more escapes, but that we shall soon hear of their defeat.

ERRATUM.
The palpable error 'unnecessary', instead of 'necessary', in the 5th line, 1st par. of "A TRUE AMERICAN", in yesterday's Gazette, was occasioned by the unavoidable hurry in which the paper was put to press.

We give to day from London Papers to the 25th of July, several additional articles of intelligence, of still higher moment, than those we yesterday gave.
The Ex-Directors are publicly charged in Paris with the
ASSASSINATION
of the French Deputies at Radad. The establishment of Louis the 18th on the Throne of his ancestors, and the restoration of
MONARCHY
in France, appear to be events now pretty generally expected.
The return of the Dutch to their allegiance to the
STADTHOLDER
is evinced by a variety of circumstances.
MACDONALD
is in disgrace, and deprived of his command; and
MOREAU
has also been defeated in a most murderous battle, in which he lost 20,000 men.
THE DUKE OF TUSCANY
is restored to his throne and dominions.
BUONAPARTE
is now despaired of even by the French, and by official intelligence his army was reduced to a handful of men and no hope of escape left him.
THE FLEETS
of France and Spain have certainly eluded the vigilance of the English, and found their way into the Atlantic.

The Letters from Constantinople of the 18th past, state, that Official Intelligence had been received by the Turkish government from Acre, that the garrison of that place had made, on the 21st of May, a general sally against the Army of General Buonaparte, had completely defeated it, and put a great part to the sword; that general Buonaparte, had, in consequence, found himself obliged to set fire to his camp and baggage, and to avail himself of the darkness of the night to retire towards Joppa; that Chezer Pacha had immediately not only sent his cavalry in pursuit of him, but had dispatched orders to proper places in as far as might be possible to straighten or cut off their retreat; and that the heads of thirteen French generals and three hundred French officers, sent by different Tartars, had arrived at Constantinople, and had been exposed according to custom, on the gate of the palace, with a suitable inscription.
A second Messenger from Marshal Suwarow dispatched from Alexandria on the 1st inst. is arrived. I am informed that, besides a detail relation of the brilliant successes of the Imperial army on the 17th, 18th, and 19th past, and by which it appears, that the loss of the French amounts in all to 20,000 men killed and taken prisoners, he brings an account of the Austrians having re-occupied the town of Tortona.
Extract of a letter from Lord Grenville to Lord Grenville, dated July 9, '99.
An express arrived yesterday with dispatches from General Kray of the 1st inst. mentioning the surrender of Bologna, by capitulation, to General Klenau on the preceding day.
In addition to the intelligence which I lately conveyed to your lordship of the defeat of general Buonaparte, and his flight towards Joppa, I have now to state, that this government has received official accounts from Constantinople, dated the 22nd past, that Joppa had been taken by the allied force, (meaning it is supposed, that under Sir Sydney Smith and a body of Turks;) that Buonaparte had reached El Arish, on the frontier of Syria, in his flight; and that it was scarcely to be believed that in its present circumstances of distress he would be able to gain in safety the Egyptian side of the desert.
The Master of the Ville de Paris, Lord St. Vincent's flag ship, arrived at the admiralty this morning, with dispatches from his Lordship, and advices from General Cupler. These dispatches confirm the former accounts received of the junction of the French and Spanish fleets. There had been no action at the date of the dispatches.
We understand that ministers have received the resignation of admiral Lord St. Vincent's.—The continuance of the indisposition, which forced him some weeks ago to quit the command of the fleet, and repair to G.F. altar, has induced the gallant veteran to retire from the station which he has filled with so much glory to himself and to the British name. He will ever be revered as one of the most distinguished naval commanders of England, and his achievements will long be remembered with gratitude and admiration. Lord Keith now takes the chief command of the Mediterranean fleet, and after Lord St. Vincent's, it could not pass into abler hands.
The state of Paris, as it is now represented, seems something like that of London after Cromwell's death, as drawn by Butler.
The different parties are described as not knowing well what to do, and few agreeing in the same opinion— Some are for setting up a King— Others again for no such thing!
VIENNA, July 6.
This morning Prince Solkowsky, and last night, Captain Nuchant of the staff, arrived express from Italy, and two Russian officers, as couriers, who set out for Peterburgh, with French standards and other trophies of war. By the first we learn, that Field Marshal Suwarow has defeated General Moreau, after a battle of three days; and the citadel of Alessandria is said to have surrendered to the allies. The latter brings the confirmation of the important intelligence of General Moreau having been completely defeated and put to flight by the allies, in the Genoese, after one of the bloodiest battles, Suwarow's dispatches are dated the 30th of June, in the evening. To-morrow the Court will publish the details.
The loss of the citadel of Turin was very painful to Moreau, as it covered in some measure, his rear and left flank.

FRANCE.
SOCIETY OF THE MANEGE.
July 15.
Desirem opened the sitting by a speech in honour of the 14th of July, in which he assured the political societies that the Legislative Body, would maintain the constitution of the third year. He declared that the legislative body saw with gratitude the unshaken devotion of the real friends of liberty, and that it would not cease to make a common cause with the political societies so long as wisdom and energy were the basis of their labour.
This speech was frequently interrupted by applause, and the society ordered it to be printed.
The Reporter of the committee of presentation read a list of the citizens who had been admitted members, and of those who requested to be admitted. The committee declared that they were scarcely able to attend to all the applications for admittance, but that they would employ day and night in performing that duty.—Among the candidates were marked the names of deputies, generals, and citizen of every description who are the dearest to liberty.—The number of members admitted now exceeds 800.
F. Lepelletier opposed this. He said that the absurd calumnies which had for some days been circulated of the prospect of a convention, and of the overthrow of the Constitution, have fixed the attention of the legislative body; and that they had believed it necessary to take a new oath to the constitution of the 3d year. The society owed their existence to the courage of the legislative body, which had overthrown the tyranny of the Triumvirs. They owed it to their affection—"Let us imitate it and take an oath to the constitution of the 3d!" [All the hats were immediately thrown up, and the oath taken in the midst of the greatest applause.] "I move," said Lepelletier, "the formation of a committee, to present to you measures of public safety worthy of the sacred cause of being submitted to the legislative body." [Great applause.]
The Regulator put the question on the proposition of F. Lepelletier: It was adopted and referred to a committee of instruction.
July 16.—The Representative Arene mounted the tribune and spoke to the following effect:—"Citizens, brothers, and friends! The Council of Five Hundred have this day received official details of the treason which has put into the hands of the enemy the impregnable fortress of Turin. It is discovered that cannon cartridges contained only one third of powder, the rest being made up of mere dust; that the musket cartridges were made in the same manner, and that the balls consisted only of wood tinned over with lead—so that musket balls went only to the distance of 50 paces, and the large shot no further than 25. Such were the only means of defence which our brave army had under the command of the infamous Scherer, of execrable memory. (Murmurs of indignation.) Brothers and Friends; It is at a time when the legislative body in order to rescue the palpitating remnants of our unfortunate country from the hands of its butchers, and to reanimate the public spirit, has again opened the public societies; that Journals hired by d. lapidators, point you out to the poinards of Royalists. Among these is the Amides Loix, which represents you as a vile horde of assassins, thirsting for blood and pillage. Friends and Brothers! can you entertain any concealed purpose in your breast! [No, No I exclaimed all the members, the constitution of the 3d year! nothing but the constitution.] Well, I prove to you that the Directory and the Councils have the same intentions. Let us zealously aid their efforts, and the crimes which the pretended Amides Loix imputes to you, will soon fall on his own guilty head."
A Member then ascended the rostrum, and called the attention of the Club to the necessity of addressing the Directory on the official aristocracy which infests all the ministerial departments but particularly those of the war, the interior, and foreign relations. It was time to give a movement to the revolution of the 30th Plairial, [June 18], and to cleanse the Augur stable.—This proposition was adopted.
A Member mentioned several facts in accusation of Ramel, whom, with Talleyrand, he denominated the most deadly enemy of the Republic.
PARIS, July 14.
Yesterday evening there was much agitation in this city. Crowds were collected at the Manege, and in the neighbourhood of the Thuilleries. Each party made the usual exclamations, but a strong armed force posted in the garden intimidated them all and prevented any disorders from taking place; besides it rained, and as Pethion once observed, there are never any disturbances in Paris during bad weather.
Meanwhile a number of young men, and other persons, among whom were distinguished a number of tradesmen, were observed passing through some quarters of the town. They seemed to seek for each other as if they had hostile intentions, but all remained calm.
We know not what consequences these meetings may have; but prudence and duty require that the government should prevent wrong-headed persons from promoting divisions in Paris, which will but too soon find imitators, in the other parts of the republic.
July 15. Talleyrand Perigord's reply to his accusers, was published yesterday. He accompanied the copy which he sent to the Directory, with his resignation. We know not if it be accepted.
A manufactory of pignards has been discovered at Paris.
Championet is gone to the army of the Alps, with the necessary funds for putting it in activity.
July 16. The conscripts of the Cote d'Or have retaken the important post of Belvidere, from whence the Austrians threatened mount St. Bernard.
General Suchet is nominated chief of the staff of the army of Italy.
General Muller is charged with the organization of the army, and appointed provisionally to command it.
General Baraguay d'Hilliers is appointed chief of the staff.
The trial of generals Haypont and Caen are suspended, and the generals are ordered to Paris.
Yesterday was tranquil. There were neither during the sittings, nor in the evening, any disturbances.
It is said that Lucien Buonaparte, Marbot, Choudreu and Bordas belong to the society of the Manege. The president is called regulator, the secretaries, notators.
On the 22nd Messidor, July 10, Scherer's house at Meudon, was surrounded by gens d'armes, but he was not found.
General Hatry, who commands our troops on the frontiers of Piedmont, has written that they have been in the most absolute privation since the evacuation of Italy, without cloaths and pay.—Measures have been taken to remedy this grievance.
July 17. There is circulated in the department of the Lower Seine, a denunciation against Jean Debry, signed by the widow of Roberjot. The object of this paper is to justify Austria from the assassination committed on our plenipotentiaries, and to throw all the odium on the French government. The libel goes so far as to say that Jean Debry, disguised as a hussar, was himself the assassin of Roberjot. Ami des Lois.
It was Couraud who wounded Victor Hugues in a duel; he had served under him. The ball went through his arm, and lodged in his breast.—It is supposed he cannot survive the operation of attempting to extract it.
ADMIRALTY OFFICE, July 16.
Extract of a letter from Captain Griffiths, Commander of His Majesty's ship Diamond, to Evan Nepean, Esq; dated at Spithead, the 12th inst.
On the 29th ult. the Revolutionnaire captured L'Hippolyte French letter of marque, from Cayenne, bound to Nantes, and in latitude 46, deg. N. and longitude 24 deg. W. we re-captured the brig Margaret, from Greenock bound to Savannah, who had been taken but a few hours before by the Determire, French ship privateer, then in light; and which, after a chase of fourteen hours, was captured by the Revolutionnaire, I have brought her to Spithead: she is a very complete vessel, fails uncommonly fast, and is well calculated for His Majesty's service: she is pierced for twenty-four guns, mounts eighteen brass twelve and nine-pounders and one hundred and sixty-three men on board when taken.
LONDON, July 15.
A dispatch was on Saturday received at the India House from Mr. Touke, the Company's Agent at Constantinople, which says, that a letter from Sir Sidney Smith, dated Acre, May 16, speaks of the French having made four desperate attacks on that place, in each of which they had been repulsed with great slaughter; in the whole they are said to have lost eight Generals, 80 of their best officers, and upwards of 4000 of their best troops. Buonaparte, moreover, we are assured, has no longer the confidence of his army, who are very discontented; the Princes of the Druze's who were the only friends he had, have come over to the Turks; in the fourth attack, the enraged Ottomans rushed in upon the bayonets of the French (who could only fire once) with their sabres, and cut them down in a dreadful manner.
A private letter from Smyrna, mentions the names of the eight Generals killed, viz. Lafeuile, Caffarelli, Languer, Lafite, Divos, Vaux, Kampen and Dugua.
Immediately on the arrival of the above account at the India House, a copy of it was sent off to Mr. Dundas's office, and another was posted at Lloyd's Coffee-house, whence we received it.—London Packet.
On the morning of the 13th July a fire was discovered in one of the wings of the King's Bench Prison, London. The flames increased with so much rapidity, that the whole extent of the building, from the Tap to the Chapel, containing near one hundred rooms, were burnt. No personal injury was sustained.
