4. Head Quartets, Get ma, no• 14
" The army preserves the position it took on the
ti t.l !smut. The advanced guard, under the com-
mend of General Espagne, has driven the enemy to
hear:, and in several vigorous charges has taken
about lon prisoners. All their cavalry have taken
the great road. A considerable part of their in-
t :ntry proceeds through the valley of Idria to gain
:'art of Oberleybach. Five companies of light horse
',nestle them in that direCtion, while our advanced
posts reconnoitre as far as the intrenchmeots of Per-
•ald, and direft themselves towards Leybach. On
the approach of the division of Seras to Trieste, the
Austrians evacuated that place, where they left

three hundred wounded. A corps pursued them

- -
on the road to Le)bacb, and took fifty men. Two
regiments of dragoons. supported by the infantry,
advanced by our lest on the Chittsa de Pletz, which

was guarded by the two regiments of infantry, Stra-
sold° and Deligne, with some cavalry. All the
pests were abandoned en the arrival of our troupe.
The General of Brigade, Lacour, who eommar.ded
them, received orders to penetrate to Villad), and
to try to open a communication with the Grans!
Army, the movements of which had doubtless oc-
cacioned the retreat of the enemy, who appeared
afraid of being surrounded. A detachment was

also sent agaiust Pi,nteba-Veneta, where the enemy,
who were in force, did not venture to wak for us.
In these different movements, we have made about
400 prisoners. The General-in-Chief left towards
Padua, the corps of troops from N3ples. They
have joined with the Corsican Legion, and the
ftd Italian regiment have j..incd one of the divi.ious
of the army. Lieutenant-General St. Cyr, who
commands these united force., observes Chiozza and
lirei.duie. These troops arc prepared to fall on the

Italy.

NINTH BULLETIN Of THE ARMY Ott ITALY.
" Head-quartets at Gotisia. Nu 4
" The General-in-Chief had been infornstit
several reports, and particularly by a letter from Goir;
neral Vial, the Ambassador of His Imperial M4'
jesty at Berne, that a corps of the Austrian army,4
which was cot off in consequence of the manoeuvres
of the grand army, intended to descend by the Ty.
rolean mountains of Italy. He calculated that this
column would endeavour either to cross the line llf
the army, to unite itself with the troops in the V4l
netian territory, or to operate, by the way of Fehr*
and Belluno, a junaion with the wreck of Prince
Charles's army at Leybach. But whatever direaion
the enemy might take, the situation of the army at
Isonzo was such, that a sufficient force could be
detached to intercept them. The advanced guard,
tion. The General-in-Chief, who had foreseen
every thing, remained, en his part, perfealy tran-
quil; but that nothing might be left to the chance
of events, he took measures for bringing up, by
forced marches on the Piave, the division of grena-
diers commanded by Gen. Partouneauz, and other
corps. The grenadiers were directed to ascend the
Piave by II Bosco del Mantello, and to turn the po-
sition of Bassano. The division of Gardanne, which
was diretled at the same time to Venzone, was des-
tined to reinforce the detachments sent to the two
Puntebas, and to cut off all retreat from the enemy.
The General•in-Ctiief left the rest of the troops on
Luna°, under the command of General Dubesme,
and proceeded himself to the Piave to superintend
the movements he had directed.

General St. Cyr znaneesstred to recnnotitre the
enemy, and to stop him. General Reyniei ,at
Na-
vale. had orders to march on the `2irl•, at day-break,
to Castle Franco. The enemy anis cd the evening.
and, sensible of the difficulty of his position, antici-
pated the attack. He feu violently on Regnicr's
which received hint with the greatest viper,
and soon repulsed him. The enersy. however, re.
turned several times to the charge, but were always
received with the same firmness Meanwhile General
St. Cyr made a movement with the Polish regiment,
and turned the enemy. The route was then coon.
pieced all the way to Castel Franco, where uer
troops arrive.' as soon as the Austrians. All who
were not killed or taken on the field of battle asked
to capitulate. Six thousand infantry, and one
hundred cavalry. remained in our power. This
number was greater than we opposed to them
effeaive combat ; but they saw, from the disposi-
tions which were made, that their destruAiou was
inevitable. 'the Prince de Rohan, several Colonels,
and a number of Officers, are among the prisoners.
Six standards, twelve pieces of cannon, and im-
mense baggage, are also the result of this vi&ury.
We have only to regret the loss of one hundred
killed and wounded, and we have recovered the pri.
corers taken front us at Bassano. A corps of Croats,
which, it is supposed, formed part of the column,
is expelled to be found in the defiles of the moun-
tains. It is not likely that it can escape us. The
advanced guard makes each day new prisoners.
The roads from Idea to Leybach an covered with
horses, waggons, and thousands of bullets."

The Abaitese of the 3d contains a letter of the
General of Division Lecchi, from the head-quarters
at Legnaro, dated Nov. 2S—" I hasten to inform
your Excellency, that a corps of enemy's troupe Ms
made its appearance near Bassano, under the ennia
mand of P.ince Hoban. The General in Chief bas
departed from Sire, with the Reserve. consisting of
a corps of Poles, commanded by General Peyri, a
regiment of French cavall y, a battalion of French
Infantry, commanded by General Regnier, and
with four pieces of cannon. escorted by a regiment
of halia:t infantry, commanded by Colonel
•• General Regnier proceeded from his canton-
ments to Piombino, where he cut off the Austrians.
who strove to save themselves on the side of Venice.
Yesterday, at break of day, he was attacked, and,
notwithstanding an obstinate resistance, obliged
three times to give way. 'lhe Polish infantry, with
the Genera'-iit-Chief, was already before that time
on the road to Castel Franco. who, when half way,
perceiving that the corps of General Regnier was
giving way, gave Colonel Grabinsky orders to at-
tack the enemy in the tide, who immediately exe-
cuted this order with the greatest bravery, and com-
pelled Ole enemy to throw himself into Castel France,
with the loss of 15u prisoners, two pieces of cannon,
and one howitzer.
" General Regnier availing himself of this :Ma-
nouvre, renewed the attack, and made 2000 pri-
soners. 'I he remnant of the enemy's column re-
treated to Villa Franca, whine 3000 Austrians, sur-
rounded by the Polish regiment of infantry, laid

We this day resume our extrads from the French
Papers to the 7th, part of the contents of wlrch we
gave yesterday. The Bth and 9th Bulletins
of the army of Italy encourage sanguine hopes
of the ultimate success of the Archduke Cu sects.
We lately expressed an opinion, that MAiGENA
would not be able to pursue him with a force compe-
tent to arrest his progress, and now find that opinion
well founded. The ninth Bulletin, is dated the QUO
of November, at Gorizia, the very place whets
had his head- u steers on the 17th. Here,
then, was an interval of nine days, during which the
French had not advanced one inch in their palesuit,
and the Archduke CH Al (.1.1 WAS left to puroie h s
course without any interruption, but what he might
execrience from some obstacle in his front._.
On that side, we believe, he had nothing to
fear but the division of MARMON?, which ruin
not be in sum .lent strength to oppose an et-
teaual resistance. As the ARCM:IOKM was at
Laybach on the 17th, he could not, nil:es' he
met with a check, be far from Vienna on the
V, the day of the battle of Wischan. Upon tl'e
mark& of that interesting event, we have nothing
new to add. A report prevailed yesterday, that at
was followed by another. on the 4th, equally des-
perate and bloody, in which the Allies succeeded,
and forced the French to retreat to Vienna. 'this
report rests upon the authority of a letter from
Yarmouth, but is not, we believe, entitled to much
credit. As the battle of the ?„1 was not decisive.
we may, however. presume, with confidence, that

another fisiluwesi at no great distance of time.

Lord HARROW s Y has been very much indisposed
since his arrival at the Court of Berlin, and he was
not recovered when the last accounts cause away.
By accounts from our army on the Continent, we
are informed, that Lieutenant-General Dots re-
mained at Virden on the Bth inst. which place is the
head-quarters of the British Army. The Guards
are quartered in the environs of Bremen. The
Russians have left Verden. in order to march to
Hameln, which fortress is to ►e immediately block-
aded by them and the German Legion, under the
command of Brigadier-General Diezers.
The brig Pefre, a transport from the Downs, for
the Elbe, with troops on board, went on shore, on
Kessingland Beach, near Yarmouth, on Tuesday ;
the troops were landed in safety.

best of her way to England with the dispatches►
Lord Cot. tieowooo was at Gibraltar when the
Neer sailed from that place; and Sir Sous Duca.
WORTH, was blockading Cadiz. The Nook passed
in sight of Sir June's squadron off Cadiz.
We are assured that a French Squadron got oat
of L'Ortent about the beginning of this month, and
that Ministers have received certain informatics' of
the cot.
Letters from Vienna, of the 24th November, state
that reports of an inserredion in Poland gain
ground daily. In the villages of that country.
writings, in the native language of the people, are
circulating, stimulating the Poles to embrace this
oppootanity to regain their independence by choose
ing a king according to their wish. It is said, that
several Polish Officers, and among whom is Gene-
ral Kosctusce, have repaired to the French head-
quarters.
On Monday. a Court-Martial was held at Ports-
mouth, on board the titadintor, on Mr. RocounaN,
purser of the late sloop Mewed Rork, for fraudu-
lently assisting Lieut. Woot.cosisa (who has been
tried for the offence), in detaining the wages of 111. K
belonging to the said sloop ; and for altering the
dates of the discharges on the said ship's book, with
intent to defraud the service. As Capt. Ktuascs
