Gazette of the United States.
PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11.
To prevent applications for the Gazette of the United States, the Editor informs the public, that he has strictly forbidden the sale of it, either by the Carriers or at the office.
An Extra half sheet of the Gazette of the United States was published this morning, containing the Foreign News received at Boston; we have re-published it in this evening's paper.
In the Price-Current, in the first page of this day's paper, under the head of Stocks, several articles will be found, with their prices annexed, not published heretofore.
A Virginia paper, states the election of Littleton Tazewell as Member of the United States Legislature, in place of the Honorable John Marshall.
Died, at Petersburg, Virginia, Mr. Joseph Belknap, Printer, a native of Massachusetts.
The 25th of this month is the day appointed for the election of a Representative to Congress, for the Third Middle District, in Massachusetts, in the room of the Hon. Judge Sewall. The only candidate which has been announced to the public is Mr. Benjamin Pickman, jun. a Federalist.
[The following is copied from the Aurora of last Saturday morning.]
Quid leg's sine moribus, says Horace?—The best laws are of no consequence among a nation of rascals. His observation is very just, and it has been most wretchedly exemplified in some of the towns of Virginia. For instance, at this moment, the chief magistrate of Petersburg, is one Harrison, a lame Scots parson. When Cornwallis, in the last war, approached that place, Harrison went off to meet him, and acted as his guide. And now this fellow, who, by every law human and divine, should have been banged, officiates as Mayor of the town which he wanted to destroy.
Examiner. [Who acted as a guide to the British army when they entered Philadelphia—ask Tench Cope, who deserves to be banged by every law human and divine for doing so—ask Tench Cope, who officiates as Secretary of the Land-Office in the city which he wanted to destroy—ask French Cope!]
Seldom has the most abandoned and profligate Aurora exhibited such a farago of folly and falsehood as it contained on Saturday last.
It is there stated that General Smith, son-in-law to the President, had been nominated Inspector-General, with the rank of second in command of the army—that the nomination had been opposed in Senate by Mr. Watson of New-York, and rejected.—That Mr. Watson had been afterwards nominated Inspector-General, and appointed to that office; with a long list of inuendos, as infamously false as the data, on which they are predicated.
That the whole is false, the reader will conclude with certainty when he learns that Mr. Smith never was nominated Inspector-General—that Mr. Watson was not a member of the Senate at the time referred to—that he never was nominated Inspector-General—and has not held any appointment whatever in the army, since the close of the revolution war, in which it is possible captain Duane was a drummer in foreign service.
How long will the villainous aspersions of this foreign outcast, this worthless fugitive, this chosen associate of Miss Miranda Fairfax of Shannon-bill, Virginia, continue to reproach our country?
The brig Ranger, Capt. Elihu Merchant, arrived at Alexandria on Sunday August 3, last from the Isle of May, with a cargo of salt, being without papers of any kind, and there appearing some contradictions in the account given by the Captain and crew the Mayor and Alderman of that town, on suspicion of some improper conduct on the part of those in possession of the vessel, caused the Captain and crew to be arrested by warrant, and they were examined before the Justices of the town.
The Captain stated that he is a native of Martha's Vineyard, and fled from Boston upwards of two years ago, in the brig Patty belonging to Benjamin Hodgeden of Boston, which he sold on account of the owner—that he purchased the brig Ranger in the Island of Tenerife, in January last, and sailed from thence in ballast, having 13 guns and about 30 stand of small arms on board for the Isle of May, where he took in about 2000 bushels of salt, and sailed for Boston; that on his homeward passage they were boarded by a French privateer of 20 guns, and plundered of their clothes and papers, except his letter of instructions from Mr. Hodgeden; that while the privateer men were on board a large vessel hove in sight, supposed to be a British armed vessel, on which the privateer left him, after throwing two of his guns overboard; that he made Cape Hatteras, and being short of provisions, put into the first river he could make, which was the Potomac.
The first and second mates related the voyage with several deviations from the captain; stating, that the round house had been cut off the vessel at Tenerife, after the 1st mate was on board, and that they had lost two men overboard on their passage from the Isle of May.
The crew, 10 in number, gave different and contradicting accounts of the voyage; some stating that the round house was taken off at Tenerife; some declaring that they were not boarded by a privateer; and others that they threw 8 guns overboard; some agree that two men were lost overboard, and others state that none were lost. The master and mates say they are Americans, and the crew are Scotch, Irish, English and Portuguese.
After examination, the captain, mates and crew were committed to jail for further trial, and the brig is dismantled and remains in possession of the Custom House officers.

MR. WAYNE. The note left in the office of the Philadelphia Gazette, respecting the General Court Martial, was very incorrectly printed in that paper of Thursday—in the name of good English you are requested to reprint it without its defects.
"We understand that a General Court Martial, consisting of thirteen officers of the army, has been in session, at the Union Hotel, in this city, since the 24th ult.—The subjects before them are, an officer of Dragoons, from the State of Tennessee, and a Captain of Artillery, from Fort Jay, in the State of New-York. The court is said to have been in council for some time, on Wednesday and Thursday last with doors closed, and on Thursday they, for special reasons, adjourned until this day. We learn, that Capt. James Bruff of the Artillery, presides, and Capt. Campbell Smith of the Western Army, officiates, as the Judge Advocate.—Members collected from Norfolk, Harper's Ferry, City of Washington, Baltimore, Fort Mifflin, Philadelphia, New-York, and intermediate places."
MR. WAYNE. THE following extract from the Evangelical Magazine for March 1800, is at your service. The publication may be of advantage in our country, and ought to stimulate Americans, in the language of Holy Writ, to "go and do likewise."
"The BIBLE SOCIETY in London, was instituted in the year 1780, for the sole use of the Navy and Army of Great-Britain, and is supported by annual or occasional contributions. The committee of this Institution have already distributed above twenty eight thousand BIBLES, and a considerable number of NEW TESTAMENTS to the different ships and regiments in the navy and army." But in consequence of the very great demand upon them, during the present war, it appears, that their finances are very much reduced; besides which, the Society has lost a number of valuable subscribers and friends by death. For carrying on this meritorious undertaking, Religious Books, or pecuniary donations were solicited for from the liberal and well disposed of that country, in order to be appropriated to the laudable purposes of said Society.

A HONEY MOON PARODY, BY THE EDITOR OF THE AURORA.
"Friend a d Pitcher." The wealthy Reds with gold in store Will still desire to grow richer: Give me but these, I ask no more, My Franklin Bride, my Lloyd and pitcher. My Lloyd so bare, my wife so fair With such what Paddy can be richer, Give me but these, a fig for care, With my sweet bride, my Lloyd and pitcher. In dirtiest job I'd never grieve To toil a Democratic citizen, If, that when I return at eve, I might enjoy my bride, and pitcher. My Lloyd so bare, my wife so fair With such what Paddy can be richer, Give me but these, a fig for care With my sweet bride, my Lloyd and pitcher.
THE IRRESOLUTE.
TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH.
[The following is in the best manner of Paris vivacity, and is a pretty picture of a faint-hearted and bashful lover.] THYRSIS has charms, address and art To warm and win the coldest heart; With all his grace, and parts, and merit, The timid Boy's devoid o' Spirit. The other day, in amorous chat, He said, as in a grove we sat, How happy, Nannette, could I be, Were I at home, alone with thee. Early next morn, just as he said, He came, and—caught me in my bed! Sigh'd, gaz'd, and talk'd of wondrous love And wish'd me with him—in the grove!
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at New-Orleans, dated 26th June, 1800, to his friend in this city.
"About the 8th of March I was at Lof-tus Heights. Lieutenant Fero had sometime before, been tried by a general court-martial, and was cashiered. He had threatened the lives of such part of the court in time of trial, as he might suspect of having voted against him. Captain Grison and Lieutenant Smith went into a public house, and having been two of the number, asked Fero if he made the above threats. He answered in the affirmative, and drew a dirk. An affray took place, in which they were all three stabbed."

THE JEFFERSONIAD
No. VII.
"When a man deserts, truth, and embraces error, it requires more than ordinary candour, to believe him honest."
MR. RUSSELL.
WE have vindicated the measures of government, and exposed Mr. Jefferson's hypocritical desertion of his own principles in two very striking and important examples, and before we quit a subject so fertile in proofs of this philosopher's insincerity, it may be entertaining and useful, to adduce one or two more instances to the justification of our government, and to the utter confusion of this great author and his party.
It is a favourite maxim of Jacobinism, that mankind are one great family, whose rights and interests are essentially the same, and that if any nation is struggling for the maintenance of its rights and privileges, it is our duty to overlook the vulgar and ordinary ties which impel us to a neutral situation, and not only to sympathize with, but to lend a helping hand to relieve them from the yoke of oppression. Impelled by this disinterested, and as they call it, Godlike spirit, our Jacobins with the zeal and fanaticism of crusaders, instead of the cross, erected the flaming torch of Liberty and Equality. Vociferously demanded of our government an interference on the side of their suffering brethren in France, and denounced every sober citizen who was not inspired with the same philanthropic ardor:—Despising, as beneath their notice, the narrower and meaner relations and duties of men and citizens, in domestic and national connections, they proclaimed their country as the Grand-Protectorress of human rights, wherever injured or however invaded, and offered it as an asylum to the persecuted or oppressed of every nation, character, and colour. To describe the effects of this liberal and enlightened policy, my fellow-citizens, would be insulting mockery to your feelings. On every side, you behold, persecuted felons, oppressed robbers, and injured traitors, of every nation in Europe!—Already have they begun to echo their unharmious and discordant strains of oppression against your own Government!—witness Priestly and others.—Already have they seized and polluted with their unhallowed touch those tributary rivulets, which from the grand stream of public opinion, the printing presses of your country,—witness Callender, Duane &c.—Already have they broke into the forum of the sanctuaries of justice!—witness, Dal las, Duponceaus, and others!—Already do they begin to seize the rule of your Militia, that boasted palladium of your Republic!—Witness the convicted Major Cooper, who fled in 1776, from the sword of justice in Great Britain. And long since have they disgraced the Grand Legislative Council of your nation by a barbarous foreign dialect!—Witness the whiskey-patriot, Albert Gallatin, next in power and consequence, among the Jacobins to the hero whom I celebrate. The exertions of Ames, Dexter, and Harper, to put a stop to the influx of European criminals and fugitives, will long be remembered with gratitude by every friend to the independence of our country; and the violent opposition made by the Jacobins, by Mr. Jefferson and the dominion of Virginia to these salutary regulations, ought not speedily to be forgotten. Let us now, quote the Philosopher himself against his modern opinions and against the clamours of his party:—
"The present desire of America is to produce population by as great importations of foreigners as possible;" "But is this founded in good policy?" "Are there no inconveniences, to be thrown into the scale against the advantage?" "Every species of Government has its specific principles—ours are peculiar." "It is a composition of the freest principles of the English Constitution with others derived from natural reason." "Foreigners will bring with them the principles of the governments they leave, which they imbibed in early youth; or if able, to throw them off, it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness, passing as usual from one extreme to the other." "It would be a miracle were they to stop precisely at the point of temperate liberty." See Jefferson's notes, pages 140, 1, and 2. Never were founder truths conveyed in language more intelligible. Had they been spoken prophetically, we should have been almost disposed to think that Mr. Jefferson had been familiar with the Sybils. What would the eloquent Mr. Jefferson, so skilled in thinking right, and acting wrong, have said, if he could have foreseen that our country would have been thus inundated with Foreigners? And with foreigners too of his last and worst description, who had, before they came to our country, thrown off their early prejudices, and passed from one extreme to the other—from the extreme of despotism to the worst extreme of an unbounded licentiousness and anarchy. Would he at that time have thought it wise and politic, to harbour such vipers in our bosom? Would he have denounced the constituted authorities of his country for authorizing their removal? Most assuredly, the author of Jefferson's Notes in 1781 would have applauded the late conduct of our government. —How has Mr. Jefferson, and how have the party whom he governs, conducted? They have courted, fostered and encouraged these poisonous reptiles: They have invited and allured them to their country that they might strengthen their faction: They have loaded with public honors, and private distinction, these vampires who are making a nectarous banquet on the best blood of their country; and they have denounced their
own constituted authorities and denied the obligation of their laws for checking the growth of this pernicious evil.
I shall give one more example of Mr. Jefferson's notorious tergiversation and then shall take leave of him as an author. Every schoolboy in politics knows, that the maintainance of a free Republic, very essentially and indeed almost wholly depends upon the proper and judicious distribution of power. It is a principle upon which our ancestors have practiced successfully for many countries, in this country and in England. Mr. Jefferson in the year 1781, was so far an American in his politics and had had so little converse with the Constitution mongers of Paris, that he was wholly unadulterated on this subject—Accordingly when treating of the Senate of Virginia, he says, "The Senate is too homogenous with the lower house: Being chosen by the same electors, at the same time, and out of the same subjects the choice falls on men of the same description. The purpose of establishing two branches is to introduce the influence of different interests or different principles; with us wealth and wisdom have an equal chance of admission into both branches. We do not, therefore, derive from the separation into two branches, those benefits which a proper complication of principles is capable of producing." Again. "173 despots, (alluding to a single branch) would surely be as oppressive as one;—An elective despotism was not the government we fought for, but a balanced government," &c. Such were the sound opinions of Mr. Jefferson before he went to France. The early French philosophers Turgot, and the Girondists, thought differently, and accordingly Dr. Franklin and Mr. Jefferson as soon as they came in contact with them, became wonderfully converted. Hence it was that Mr. Jefferson, so openly and licentiously condemned the division of Congress into two branches, and professed that liberty could not be secured except by a single legislative assembly. Hence also the loud and vehement denunciations of the Senate, by all the tools of his faction, and in all the venal newspapers in the employment of that faction, and of France. Hence also Mr. Jefferson's denunciation of the Federal constitution in his letter to Mazzei, where he maliciously and falsely asserts, "that Washington and the British faction, (who are the same as the present Exec. juncto) had wished to impose upon them the form of the British constitution."
Do I retrace events beyond the memory of my readers? Have they forgotten the attempts in the papers of the faction to run down the Senatorial branch? Why have those clamours long since ceased? Why did they ever exist? Was it because their masters the French had then adopted a single branch? And have they since grown tired of experiment? Did Mr. Jefferson and our faction change their opinions with French measures? To these queries, all honest and observing men can readily reply—Is it possible that the philosophic Jefferson, so attached to theory, can have so changed his creed as to appropriate the present mild and lawfully founded republic of France? Is he enraptured with the Conservative Senate? Does he approve the Tribune, and the Legislative Body? The Five Thousand oligarchs to whom all offices are confined—The thirty thousand body guards—the Palace of the Luxembourg, and the modest Consul with full power, that something better than a diadem?
Believe me, my fellow-citizens, to all these things and to a thousand more absurd, would Mr. Jefferson most readily subscribe For with him as with all the partizans of France, his affection does not depend upon the form of the government, or upon the men who administer it. His love to France commenced under the monarchy; it continued ardent in its turbulent and revolutionary state;—it was undiminished under the protectorship of Robespierre—it did not abate under the republic with Five Kings, and it remains constant to it, under the arbitrary dominion of a solitary tyrant. It could not therefore be an attachment to the Form—it is equally apparent—his partiality could not arise from personal regard to the individuals who have successively administered the Government. For although to each individual who has exercised power, it has partaken of the warmth of personal and sympathetic attachment, yet it has been perpetually transferred with equal ardour to their successive murderers!—What is it then? And whence does it arise? It is an attachment to a foreign nation for the sake of their influence—It arises from a well known and frequently exemplified principle, in society that a faction in the bosom of a country will always seek foreign aid. Will it not then cease, when Mr. Jefferson and his faction get into power?—God grant! the experiment may never be made—but if it should, you will still find the same foreign aid resorted to, to keep them in power. I will be fortunate if Buonaparte should not do, what Philip of Macedon did, first protect the Jacobin faction from the influence and force of the friends of order, then Lord it over both.
If with such dangers staring us in the face, we can be false to ourselves, if little prejudices and partialities, if small intrigues, shall absorb the sense of public danger, and can induce us to do any thing less, than all we are capable of doing, we deserve the yoke and we shall be patient under it.
I shall make a few observations on the letter to Mazzei in my next number.

LATE
European Intelligence,
Received yesterday by the ship Five Brothers captain Phillips, 35 days from London.
Surrender of Genoa.
Massena, General in Chief, to the Consuls of the French Republic.
From the H. Q. at Genoa, June 7.
Citizen Consuls,
I have the honor to address to you the Convention agreed on for the evacuation of Genoa, by the right wing of the French army.
From the 5th of April, we have not received either from France or Corsica any succours.
From the 21st of May the inhabitants of Genoa have had no bread. The army received only six ounces, composed of a mixture half bran and half maize. For the last ten days the maize was replaced by cocoa, and the allowance diminished to three ounces. The greater part of the horses have been consumed.
On the 25th, the troops of the right wing began their march, with their arms, baggage and ammunition, to rejoin the centre of the army, which on the 26th was at Alaffio.—To-morrow I shall go there myself.
I shall have the honor of transmitting to you immediately, an account of the events which have taken place from the 5th of April to the 5th of June.
Health and respect,
MASSÉNA.
The account will be brought you, as well as the 8 standards taken from the enemy, by my Aide-du-Camp."
NEGOTIATION for the evacuation of GENOA.
Art. I. The Right Wing of the French army charged with the defence of Genoa, the General in Chief, and his Staff, shall depart with their arms and baggage to go to rejoin the centre of the army. Answer. The right wing, charged with the defence of Genoa, shall depart to the number of eight thousand one hundred and ten men, and shall take the road by land to go to Nice to France. The remainder shall be transported by sea to Antibes. Admiral Lord Keith engages to furnish these troops with subsistence in biscuits, in the same proportion that they are distributed to English troops. On the other hand, all the Austrian prisoners made on the River of Genoa by the army of Massena in the present year, shall be given up in a body by way of compensation, except those already exchanged up to the present time. In other respects, the 1st article shall be fully executed.
Art. II. Every thing belonging to the said Right Wing, as Artillery, and ammunition of all sorts, shall be transported by the English Fleet to Antibes, or to the Gulf of Jouan.—Ans. Granted.
The articles are 16 in number—the residue provide that the sick, &c. shall be well treated, and sent to Antibes;—that none of the Genoese should be molested for their political opinions; and that all officers of all ranks of Massena's army, taken prisoners from the commencement of hostilities in the present year, shall return to France on their parole, and are not, to serve until exchanged. The articles were mutually exchanged on the Bridge of Corneghino, on the 5th June 1800—and are signed by Ott, Lieutenant-General; Vice-Admiral Keith; and Massena.
From Gen. MASSÉNA to Gen. BUONAPARTE.
Genoa June 7.
"My General, I have the honor to give you an account of the evacuation of Genoa conformable to the annexed convention. I hope you will find it worthy of the oblige resistance of the brave garrison shut up there. We had not hitherto lost a single inch of ground; throughout we preferred a constant superiority; and had it not been for want of subsistence, we would have forever held out in Genoa. This day I give the soldiers the last three ounces of what we call bread, and which is nothing but a wretched mixture of bran of oat chaff, and cocoa nut, without any wheat. We have eaten all our horses."
"The mortality occasioned by famine was at its height among the people and the troops. Hunger, and the bombardment, had excited movements of insurrection always stifled from their birth. It was in the hope of seeing you arrive to our deliverance, that I carried so far the severity of measures which enabled us to wait for your arrival; but our means failed, and it was necessary to think of withdrawing, not to lose all, and to preserve to the Republic the remainder of a body of troops whose firmness could not be changed by hardships, fatigues, or privation hitherto unheard of, their physical strength had entirely failed, and we had nothing remaining but walking skeletons. The officers who carries my dispatches can tell you in this respect, all that has been suffered to preserve Genoa."
"I go with the garrison to join the centre of the Army, and to act there according to the instructions which I request you will send me; it is from thence that you shall hear from me. Health and respect,"
(Signed) MASSÉNA.
OFFICIAL BULLETINS.
Bulletin of the Army of Reserve, dated Milan June 3.
"The division of Gen. Lannes, which had been the advanced guard from St. Bernard to Ivrea, was advancing to Chivasso to make
the enemy believe that it was our intention to make a junction with General Thureau, who was between Rivoli and Sufa. In the mean time the army filed off on the opposite side, and passed the Sesia and the Ticino. When it was sufficiently advanced, Gen. Lannes re-passed the Doria Baltea, passed to Crescentino, Trino, Vercelli, where he received orders to march upon Pavia, which he entered this morning; he there found magazines very considerable in provisions, 100 millers of powder, 1000 sick or wounded Austrians, 500 pieces of brass cannon on carriages, a powder magazine, bullets, &c. To-morrow we expect the inventory from Pavia."
"Gen. Lechi, with the Cisalpine Legion has marched to Cassano."
"Gen. Dubesme, with the corps under his orders, has marched on to Lodi."
MILAN, June 4.
"Te Deum has been sung in the metropolis of Milan, for the happy deliverance of Italy from Heretics and Infidels."
"All the hospitals of the enemy fell into our power. There were 1500 sick at Pavia and 1200 at Milan. Every day we discover fresh magazines. Among others we have just discovered at Pavia one of 500 casks, and 10,000 new muskets."
"Gen. Dubesme yesterday passed Lambrò, after a slight affair of advanced posts. He has reached Lodi, passed the Adda, and in pursuit of the enemy."
Letter from the First Consul to the Minister at War, dated Milan, June 4, contains the following:—
"We are at Milan. We have found at Pavia 300 pieces of cannon on their carriages, half of them for the field, and half for sieges; 10,000 new fire-locks, a great quantity of powder and ammunition, and magazines of every kind."
"The enemy for a long time believed that we were no more than 7 or 8000 men, and that we had made a diversion merely for the raising the blockade of Genoa and Nice. They persisted in this error till the 28th of May."
"At the affair of Chiusella their cavalry made seven or eight prisoners, but the enemy got information from them which they were unwilling to believe."
"On the 2d June, General Hohenzollern, who commanded the blockade of Genoa, appeared, as you have seen by a letter that I have sent to the Consuls, not much to fear our forces. General Melas has written to Pavia to a woman he had with him—"I know they say in Lombardy that a French army has arrived. There is no danger. I will defend you on that side." Two hours after this we entered Pavia. We are at Lodi. The advanced guard of Macey has arrived at Como, and endeavour to collect boats sufficient to enable them to pass the Po."
"All the hospitals of Lombardy have fallen into our hands. We have found five or six thousand sick and wounded. (Signed) BUONAPARTE."
MILAN, June 7.
"General Loison, after having passed the Adda at Lodi, took possession of Crema, passed the Oglio in the affair of the 5th, and took possession of Orisnovi, a place between Brescia and the Po, which is regularly fortified with bastions and a counterfcarp."
"After having pursued the enemy upon the grand road of Brescia, General Loison made a counter march, and moved towards Cremona, to make himself master of the numerous magazines the enemy have in that place, then to pass the Po, and to join the corps of General Marat at Piacenza."
Letter of General Buonaparte, First Consul of the Republic, to the two Consuls. Milan, June 9.
"You will see, citizen Consuls, by the letters of General Melas, which are annexed to my preceding letter, that General Ott received orders to raise the blockade of Genoa on the very day that General Massena, urged by the total want of provisions, demanded a capitulation. It appears that General Massena has 10,000 combatants, and General Suchet nearly as many. If these two corps have united as I think they have, between Oneglia and Savona, they will be able to enter Piedmont by the Tanaro immediately, and be very useful, at a time when the enemy will be obliged to leave some troops in Genoa."
"The greater part of the army is at this moment at Stradella. We have a bridge at Piacenza.—Orisnovi, Brescia, and Cremona, are ours."
"You will find subjoined different Bulletins, and many letters, which have been intercepted, and which it will, perhaps, be useful to publish."
I salute you, (Signed) BUONAPARTE."
Pellet, Counsellor of State to the Consuls.
MILAN, 21 Prairial, June 10.
The First Consul writes to me to-day from Bront the following letter:—
"We had yesterday a very brilliant affair. Without exaggeration the enemy had 1500 men killed, and twice as many wounded. We have made 4000 prisoners, and taken five pieces of cannon. It is the corps of Lieut. Gen. Ott which came from Genoa by forced marches; he wished to open a communication with Plaisance."
"As I have not time to dispatch a messenger to Paris, I request you will send this news to the Consuls by a courier extraordinary."
"The army continues its march for Tortona and Alexandria."
"The division of the army of the Rhine recently arrived; a part of it is already beyond the Po."
Health and respect (Signed) PETITET.
The General in Chief of the Army of Reserve to the First Consul.
Head quarters at Pavia, 20 Prairial, June 7. Citizen Consul,
"Since my last report the army has obtained new successes, the details of which I hasten to communicate to you."
"On the 3d June, the corps, commanded by Gen. Dubesme, proceeded to Lodi, occupied, as an Austrian post, which retired on our approach."
"On the 4th, Boudet's division, reunited to the cavalry under the orders of General Murat, proceeded to the head of the bridge of Plaisance whilst the division of Loison marched on to Crema, Orisnovi and Brescia. Five hundred men had been detached from that division, to be directed by Gen. Bousfier to Piobetta. Gen. Loison arrived the 6th at Logrodo, where he was apprized that the Austrian general Loudon wished to raise the people of Brescia against the French. He marched instantly to that town, which he took; and Gen. Loudon was only saved in his flight by the courage of his escort, which was destroyed. We found in the place 30 millions of powder, and several magazines. We made 60 prisoners."
"On the 6th, Gen. Murat possessed the head of the bridge of Plaisance defended by 5 or 600 men and 20 pieces of cannon. But the enemy having cut from the coast of the town some bridges of boats, and defended the passage with 18 pieces of cannon, he fought another passage. The General procured some barks, that served him to carry over the 9th and 59th, and with these forces he attacked Plaisance, which he took on the 7th. He found considerable magazines and made 600 prisoners. A party of the enemy's cavalry had just time to fly into the fort, which is encumbered by being the refuge of the administration, &c. of the Austrian army."
"Scarcely had Gen. Murat taken the position of Plaisance, when the great guard was attacked on the side of Parma, by a corps of about a thousand men, that formed the garrison of the citadel. They were met by Gen. Baudet, at the head of two battalions of the 59th, and preceded by the grenadiers under Maj. Dalton. The enemy was immediately charged with the bayonet and destroyed. The Hussars of the 11th made all those prisoners who escaped from death. We have taken the two pieces of cannon, the waggons, and colours belonging to the corps. Among the prisoners we find 20 Officers and a Major. Gen. Murat greatly praises the conduct of Gen. Baudet and adj. Gen. Dalton. He is occupied in re-establishing the bridge of Plaisance."
"I had ordered General Lannato proceed on the Po, and to endeavour to effect a passage opposite Stradella. The enemy had destroyed all the floating bridges; but Gen. Lannes found means to assemble some vessels, in which the 28th of the line commenced to pass the Po, on the 6th, at 3 in the morning. One part of the 40th also crossed the river. The corps of troops under General Maitoni had taken the position of the banks and marches behind St. Cyprian. At 3 in the evening the regiment of Reissli and Crametters, amounting to 2000 men, supported by some pieces of cannon, attacked with impetuosity the troops which had landed, that consisted of 1500 men. Already the enemy had commenced to make way in our center, when the order to charge was best."
"The combat was obstinate, but the enemy was put to the rout. They left on the field of battle more than 1000 killed and wounded, and we made 300 prisoners and took two artillery waggons. We cannot too much praise the intrepidity displayed in this instance by the 28th and 40th demi-brigades, and General Maitoni who commanded them."
"The 19th, at 3 in the morning, the division having passed with its artillery, the 28th proceeded to Boni, where they charged with audacity the infantry and cavalry of the enemy. We made 200 prisoners in that action. The citizen Manetier, Aide-de-Camp of General Watrin, was wounded in the head. This distinguished officer had already received a wound in the affair of Chiusella."
"I hope that to-morrow, the 20th, all the army shall pass the Po. General Lechi had received orders to proceed to Lecco on the 7th; he found the passage defended by the enemy with artillery and gun-boats—he determined to transport his vessels on waggons, to pass the Adda, and enter the lake—he sent over a column of 300 men which turned the enemy, whilst another corps cannonaded the gun-boats that defended the passage of Lecco—the enemy being turned, determined to fly, and we captured 4 pieces of cannon, 2 gun-boats, and magazines of ammunition, and made 20 prisoners."
ALEX. BERTHIER.
H. Q. Bront, June 9.
"I have the honor to inform you, that having learned that General Ott had left Genoa with 30 battalions, and that he was arrived yesterday at Voghera I ordered General Lannes to quit the position of Bront, to attack the enemy at that point where he should meet him, and Gen. Victor to support him with his corps."
"Gen. Watrin met the first posts of the enemy at San Diletto; the principal force of the enemy occupied Casteggio, and the heights on the right, having much artillery in their positions, presenting a force of about 15,000 men. The 28th demi-brigade, the 6th, 22d, and 40th having repulsed the enemy's advanced guard, attacked his line in front, for the purpose of turning his right; the enemy obstinately maintained his position; never was there a more animated fire kept up; the corps mutually charged each other repeatedly; a battalion of the 40th who gave way, gave some advantage to the enemy; then Gen. Victor made the division of Chamberlanc advance; the 24th attacked the left of the enemy; the 43d, where Gen. Nifior was, turned the heights of the left, while the 96th pierced his centre, which it overthrew and decided the victory. The village of Casteggio was taken and retaken several times, as well as many other positions. The brave 12th regiment of Hussars, who contended alone against the cavalry of the enemy, has performed wonders. The enemy was pursued to near Voghera."
"The result of this day gave us 6000 prisoners and 5 pieces of cannon, with their caissons. The enemy had more than 3000 men killed or wounded; we have had about 500, among whom are the Chief of the 22d light demi-brigade, and my Aide-de-Camp Labarde, slightly wounded on the head. (Signed) ALEX. BERTHIER."
London, June 24.
This morning we received, by express, Paris Journals to the 22d instant. The intelligence they contain, is most important and momentous.
The operations of the French army of reserve, exhibit an uninterrupted series of victories; and from the following Bulletins it appears, that the campaign in Italy is already terminated, by the total defeat of the Austrian Army:—
TELEGRAPHIC BULLETIN.
Paris 2 Messidor—June 21. The First Consul has obtained a complete victory on the 29th Prairial (June 18). Eight thousand Austrians and forty pieces of cannon, are taken by the French Army. Six thousand dead, belonging to the vanquished, remain on the field of battle.
The enemy capitulates for the restoration of Genoa, and the fortresses of Italy and Lombardy."
SECOND BULLETIN.
Same date. The Army has been victorious at Maringo. This battle has decided the fate of Italy, and announces Peace.
"We wait for an answer from Vienna. The armies will resume hostilities within ten days, if the answer be not favourable."
"Gen. Delfaux is wounded in the head." There are several other articles of important intelligence in the French Journals; but, at present we have only time to refer our readers to the details in the preceding columns.—Maringo, where the battle mentioned in the above bulletin was fought, is a village on the right of the Borbidda, and the Tanaro, and about five miles distant from Alessandria.
PARIS, June 14.
Gen. Oudinot, writes from H. Q. at Broglio, June 4. that Gen. Rochambeau entered Nice the 29th, that the Austrians had retreated by the Col di Tende, into Piedmont, and that he was following them. He has taken from 2 to 3000 prisoners. [This was anterior to the surrender of Genoa.]
June 19.
Savona has been recaptured, and Suchet is marching towards Genoa. [In all these accounts, it should be recollected, that the capture of places is frequently mentioned, when only the mere town is taken.—All the fortified towns in Italy have citadels, which generally hold long and desperate sieges.—We do not think the citadel of Savona will fall by a coup de main.]
London June 24. Genoa is to be garrisoned by our troops.
From Gen. Dessoles to the Minister at War.
H. Q. at Memmingen, June 9.
Citizen Minister,
"In my letter of the 4th June, I had the honour of giving you an account of the movements of the army up to the first."
"On the 2d the army still retained the same positions."
"On the 3d the enemy pushed some strong reconnoitring parties to the left of the Iller, and a brisk cannonade took place."
The General in Chief gave orders to Lieutenant-General Lecourbe, who had extended his right to Langburg and Augsburg, to turn more to his left, in order to approach the army. He assembled a large body of troops on the Verlach, holding Langburg and Augsburg, with detachments."
"On the 4th, the army retained the same positions.—Gen. Grenier, to whom Gen. Lecourbe had given provisionally the rank of Lieut. Gen. replaced Lieut. Gen. St. Cyr, who has been obliged to go to the mineral wells for the recovery of his health, in the command of his corps.—Gen. Richepaule took the command of the division posted on the left of the Iller."
"In the night between the 4th and 5th, the Gen. in Chief learned from the reports of spies, that the enemy had collected a large force on this side of the Danube, between Ilerberg and Weissenhorn, and that a part of that force had passed on the left bank of the Iller."
"He communicated this information to Gen. Richepaule; ordered Gen. Grenier to support him by the bridge of Kilmantz, and Gen. Lecourbe, to take a position between Gunz and Kornack, on the road to Babenhausen, in such a manner as to cover the roads from Burgau and Augsburg, and consequently to occupy Mindelheim."
"The corps of reserve served as a support on the left, and Gen. Delmas possessing the Gunz, at Babenhausen, marched to support the corps of Gen. Grenier, while the Gen. of Division, Decaen, feel back from Oberhausen upon Babenhausen."
"On the 5th our army extended, as I have informed you, from the Iller to the Leech, with a corps on the left of the Iller. Gen. Moreau presuming from the movements of the enemy that they were still inclined to risk a battle, gave orders to Lecourbe to take a point of support for his left, and to concentrate himself between the Gunz and the Kammark."
"This moment was made by Gen. Lecourbe, when Gen. Kray attacked, with about 40,000 men, the corps on the left of the Iller commanded by Richepaule."
"This General, followed exactly the instructions of the General in Chief, which was to withdraw on his left to support himself strongly on the right, and only to combat slightly with superior forces until he should be reinforced. At the commencement of the attack his division was cut in three parts merely by the march of the enemy, who advanced in five columns. All the intrepidity of our troops was necessary to enable them to resist a force so disproportionate to theirs."
"While this division was engaged on the centre, the brigade on the right, commanded by Gen. Sabuc, was briskly attacked in its position, which were defended only by the 8th demi-brigade, the 1st regiment of chasseurs, and the 7th of cavalry. The General in Chief then ordered Grenier, whose corps was posted from Illereicheim to Oherstot, to send assistance to Sabuc. General Nay therefore debouched by the bridge of Kilmantz, and joining the troops of Gen. Sabuc, drove the enemy to Dichtenheim."
"We had entered this village, when a strong column advanced, with 8 pieces of Cannon, on Kirchberg, is which there were two battalions of the 76th forming a part of Gen. Ney's brigade but they could not maintain themselves It was absolutely necessary to repulse the enemy who were in the front of the bridge of Kilmantz; Lieut. Gen. Grenier therefore ordered Gen. Ney to make a countermarch and to attack Kirchberg."
1200 prisoners, their artillery, and their caissons."
"Gen. Richepaule, who had till obstinately defended the position of Gufenzell an (Buren) with two battalions of the 3th, one of the 48th, the 5th Hussars, 10th of Cavalry, and part of the 14th Dragoons, now returned the offensive. He charged, the Austrians, and on his side made about 7 or 800 prisoners, among whom was Lieut. Gen. Count Spork, whom some bullets took at the distance of only 30 paces from his column."
"The result of this day's operation, in which only two French divisions have fought and repulsed the whole Austrian army, is about 2000 prisoners, and eight pieces of cannon, with their waggons, &c. During the night, the enemy retreated to the Danube with as much precipitation, that they have cut down several bridges they had formed on that river."
DESSOLLE.
According to letters from Augsburg, a suspension of arms has been granted to the Elector of Bavaria, by Gen. Moreau.
STRASBURG, June 16.
The Austrian cavalry have taken several towns in the Brigaw, in the rear of General Moreau's army.
London, June 24. Preparations are in forwardness for an expedition of vast magnitude; for which numerous men of war, Indianmen, &c. are taken up and fitted.
London, June 23. The boats of the squadron under the orders of Sir J. B. Warren, have effected a gallant enterprise on the coast of France, by cutting out from St. Croix, near the Pennarks, three armed, and eight other vessels laden with provisions for the combined fleet in Brest, and driven twenty more upon the rocks, where they will certainly be lost.
June 24. The first division of the Turkish fleet, left Constantinople for Egypt, the 28th April.—The two divisions are to consist of 3 sail of the line, and 7 frigates.
It is said the Batavian government have advised, that Kleber has obtained new advantages in Egypt.
The British minister has been recalled from Russia.
Paris, June 14.
A cartel which arrived at Marseilles on the 4th from Minorca, brings intelligence that ten English ships of war, armed en flutte, and having about 10,000 troops on board, had arrived at the island on the 20th May, and that as many more were daily expected.
The Consuls yesterday received intelligence from Buonaparte. He acquaints them that all the operations of the army are successful, and that he hopes to return to Paris at the end of the month.
The unexpected return of Buonaparte, which has been announced for the end of the month in the official Journal, has naturally given rise to many conjectures. Some persons assert, that the rapid march of the First Consul has not prevented negotiations between the French Government and the Court of Vienna, and others pretend that Buonaparte's return must be attributed to his being confident of concluding a peace before that time. The latter report was very common this morning among the ministers.
