I.S.EFANCE Or GERON.4.

• A eorre& statement of the,gallariit defence of 02-
rona has,• we believe, nof,yet
.been laid before the
public,, This City is about thirty mile's. to the.Spwh
of Rosas, and is rather strongly- fortified..; It WAS at-
: tacked same time since, by a body of 7000 French
and Italians. A number of
:persons were under
arms in the different 'fortresses round the town, but
no one would iietiture to take a leading part, and cli-
: reet the operation of the whole. Udder these cir 7.
cumstanees, Capt. OTwAY, of the Montagt.a., Since
' promoted to the Malta, who was at that time ly-
ing off Rosas, determined to proceed to Gerona ; iied
to his exertion's tEe successful defence of the pl ice is,
i we have reason to think; principally to be ascribed.
In Gefona, Ladies of the first consequence Worked
in the trenches ; and in the different engagements
• which took place in the neighbourhood• the female
peasants exposed themselves to the hottest fire, that
they might supply their husbands and brothers with
' bread and wine, perfeelly regardless of destruelion.
Even the Priests engaged in the most aciive duty.
Captain OrwAY saw many of them, while he was
in the batteries at Gerona, standing fire with deter-
mined courage. Nothing could be more giatifying
than Captain ()TWAY'S reception by the inhabitants
of this city. Thousands cheered bin on his arrival,
and he was accommodated in a style of princely ms;=
nificence at the public etpence. He received the
: most flattering letters from the Junta of the province
of Catalonia,'acknowledgiog his services in the moat
grateful terms, with an assurance that " they will•
for ever be engriven in fteir hearts ;" and that they
had adopted-his plans, ,:hich Ita.l been itttendcd
with the,tiaost signal success. It Was felt in Cata-
lonia as a subject of astonishment, that &lONA PA RTE
had not sent thither More troops from France ;
and a persuasion prevailed that the Uncertain con.;
tinnance of peace with Austria would probably de-
tain a large force 'win proceeding to Spain. It was
at the same time discovered that the French Ge-
nerals, instead of being actuated by a common in-
terest, were personally at variance, and employed
in mutually lavishing abuses upon each other, arid in
endeavouring to secure all such property, its it, the
probable event of returning to France, the; might he
enabled to catty with them. By wantonly bummgand
destroying the horiseS of the defenceless inhabitants,
tt ley made on t hem t lie most un tavotnaole i in pressions,
and such is are calculattld to prove permanently inju-
rious to them, however lung they may remain in the
conetry. The mutual chssanstattion nrevailing among
the French Generals was discovered ny tneir inter-
cepted cOrrespondence. Capt. OTWAY states, tied the
hatred and inveteracy of the Catalonians against the
French is noe to be described ; and that it the other
Provinces in Spain were equally exasperated aglinst
the enemy, there would scarcely exist the slightest
chance of their uhinnue success. He tbued.the zeal.
6f the peasantry of so disinterested a nature,- that of
the boo whom he daily employed in repairing .the
fortress of Rosas, not one would accept of any re-
muneration.

We are, however, under considerable apprehen-
sion that the Ca(alonians will be called upon for still
greater exertions. From this province we receive;
in consequence of its geographical position, less fre-
quent information than from most of the others; but
we know that the French are still in some force
there, and it is to be lamented that the spirited and
tiattiotic•etlbrts of the Patriots have not been equal
to the great objea of expelling or annihilating them.
/t is very desirable that the Patriots should, if possi-
ble, make one grand effort against their portitlious
enemy before the arrival of the menaced reinforce-
ments ; for their embarrassments must be consi-
derably augmented it the reinforcements, arrive be-
fore the fate of the enemy within the country is
.irr,t.
trievably decided. The Spanish forces a, pear to have
taken .advantageous positions ; for the French are
evidently-so circumstanced as to be obliged to dis-'
continue offensive operations. If they should receive
a considerable augmentation of force, the season for.
caution among the Patriots will have elapsed. They
mast- either soon ad offensivt ly or retreat ; for their
24/airs have arrived at a crisis which admits of no
other alternative. From the most recent incivements
of the Spaniards; they appear theitiselves to be wily
sensible of this necessity.

ATTLS OF VICO AND IbtOND,Cs.,l,t 1.

EUONAPARrE, after describing the combat of
sego, as We have just seen) quits at once the army
of BiaAuLiab, to speak of his combats with the Sar7
diuian artny, commanded by General Cow, aad of
the uninterrupted series of viatciries obtained over it
in -PiedmOnt, Ili' Vico, Mondoiii, Bete, C"_!erasco
and Sossano. He finishes With the armistice which
the I(iag of gardinia was obliged to conclude.
Faithful to the promise which I have given, to speak
only of what I saw, or was assured of by the, tiloAt
indisputable testimony, I shall not follow
,Buomik-
PAtti-a in his new career.. Employed in the army of
BEA.uLtEup I was altogether s stranger to that of
cow I shall, hOWever, take the liberty of refuting
a fevir anecdotes, and of making a few observations
on the recital which BuoNAPA ai't has given of his
rapid progress, and continued triumphsovei- the Sar-
dinians, as well as on the armistice by whiCh they
were followed.

And:first, let us observe what BUONAPARTE says
befoye,t ;;;oeaks of the battle of :..lOndovi.
" The•9i3th" (of Gzfrminal, in their vile jargon,
i. e: the ieth of April), at break of chy, General
Sufi RUILIEK entered the town of Ceva,' and invested
the Citadel, which was garrisoned by about seven
hundred men. gut ,the battering artillery was not
arrived; it could not follow the rapid march of our
army across the mountains."

Those who recoiled the manner in Which the, Ge-
nerals of the National Convention, and of the Ditec-
tory, announced the approaching reduction of a for-
tress, of vihich the Connnander bad been, bribed, Or
of which the girrison was too feeble to resist, will be
tempted to believe th,it the Citadel of Ceva surren-
dered itninediately after this dispatch of BooNA-
..
PARTE. But the truth is, Unit it never surrendered at
all : it was one of the places put into the hands of
the French, by the King of S.irdinia, as a pledge of
the armistice which was Sighed. sonic time after-
wards ! Oil this point we halte the evidence of
BuoNAPAtiTcniinself, who, in his letter •to the Direc-
tOry, writes thus :

" Ott the loth of Floreal, blrii was put' into our
hands, as well as the order,for. giving us possession
of Tortoni': the day after, the Citadel of Cevd was
also remitteStO us."

Thus the Citadel of _Cora did not surrender, but

was given up as a guaranty of the armistice, thirteen
days after,BuoNAPALITE dediared that it had bee[
invested

jut it is not even true that SVIIRURIER ever in-
vested the Citadel of Ceva on the 28th of Germinal :
an anec,dOte, not a little curious, absolutely destroys
the asset tint'. It is well deserving.of'a *in this
narrative.

The French army; had not yet arrived within sight
of Ceva, when General Ilusca sent to surnmon the
Commander of the Citadel, on the part of the Ge-.
ner,il of the French army, to surrender without de-,
lay ; threatening to put the Garrison Tio the sword
if. it persisted in its detenee and should afierWards
find itb-eit obliged to sobaiit. This çommAnder was
an old soldrer, who had learned his trade under the
orders Of the famous CuA ELEIS. EMANIAL. 1.11. ;kid
this was ►,is answer:—

The. Citadel which your Commander in Chief
" summonses une with so Much severity to sum ren-:
" der, and that betore I haveeven.had the pleasure
" of seeing the army to which I ati to submit, was
" 'Confided to me by the Soveredi whoml have the
" bottom to serve. I gave him my oath that I would
" detend it to the last extrethity. Shall I now de-
" ecend to sully My grey hairs by the disgrace of a •
" shameful surrender, without having discharged a
" single piece of cannon ? I will defend it as long
" as possible, and I give you my word of honour, that
" I will blo' it into the air the moment rnY
" means of defence ant exliau,tel Tuis is the only
.aUswer which my honour diaates to,tde and I
" will inake no other."

I was informed of this spirited' answer by BEA'u-
himself, to whom the old Commander :im-
mediately dispatched if. What did ISLIONAPARTE
He quitted CC6 without making any attack;_on it,
and prudently marched towarpi MondoVi, where
the Sardinian army was poste:l,' Which, infinftely

We say infinitely inferior, for, though the

that he fought with the greatest bravery, the enemy.

more, he adds, that General Cotzt, i..fler.resisting •
two days with the utmost obstinacy, effe4ed_his re 7

Coui and Chetito.

This last -town, situatedat. the confluence of the
rivers &tura and Tanaro, was surrounded by strong;
bastions, and prote6ed by fortifications kept in excel-k
let/t order ; but it had nbt a Governor that could b 4
compared/6 those of Cosseria and Dego, and still less
to that oc-Ceva. The Governor ;ot Ch erasco • was
a detestable cowar4, like the Coat Pi N'TO, who, at.

on the following conditions

and that it Bt A oil Ey, in the course of a.week, did not think

BUOt4APART2 1. ekes nu) the sligriteWrnentloll of

that he has many excellent reasons.

While all this was pa,sing betweed BooNAI,ARiT
and General COLL!, BEAULIEU was rapidly march-
ing towards M.ondovi. He had taken the road to
IN.zza de la Paitiei at the head of tiftecti .thousand
men. He was still a day's march from Mondovi,
wlion he 'was met by an express - which the
Ik.4afg4is GIIIRARDINI, Imperial Minister it the
Court of had secretly dispatched. By this
Messenger; he informed 'him of every thing that
Was* trausaditig'betWeen BUONAtAR,TE and the Kittg
of Sardinia. -BEAULIEU instantly halted, and turned
his thoughts to the meascnes'nece6Sary to be taken
in so delicAe a crisis..

The sudd'en and unexpeaed change of the King
of Sardinia was the most fatal blow that the Austrian
Army had ever received. VV:liit could be done to
mitigate its effect ? BEAULIEU determined upon an.
operation of the most prompt and dating nature: it
was, to possess himself' at once of the three citadels
of Aiexandria, Tortoni, and Yalenia. These three
foittresses; at no great dislatice from one another,
formed' a. kind of triangle; and; by occupying them,
BEAULIEU would be enabled to prevent the French
army from approaching.the Po, while he secured a

position where he might wait fOr
a reinforcetnents
. . .
from the Emperor, and resume offensive operations'
in the. South. „Unfortunately, hi's plan did not suc-
ceed; and EF.Aut.tEu futind hitthclf in a state of
the tnOst. dreadful
.embarrassrnent, from which
thing could have relieved him but mind equally
fist„ and.fertile in expedients.

Two regiinents 'ffussars wetc'app'oinfed
carry Alexandria' by a coup-de-plait). They. pro-
ceeded.by forced maiches. 'Valencia'. was -to be
seized, with equal expedit'iod, by a regiment of
Neapolitan cavalry. , With re:,rd to Tortona, the

P

f
. f rommission teas given to GetteraT PirroNt, who '
lay la ith his brigade in the neighbourhood of that
i place: It was impossible to forM I better combina-
rtion ; but who is secure against the effeEts of perfi-
dy
? The two regiments of hussars arrived at the
appointed time ; bin found the draw-bridge's already
raised by the NlargaiS'a SOLAR;, Governor of the
citadel of Alexandria, who had been apprized of
what was in agitation about an hour before. The
'` same precaution had been taken at Tortona, when
General' PITTONI appeared before the place. Vo-
lenci a alone was taken by the regiment of Neapoli-
tan cavalry; but this fortress, without the two
! others, being of no service, was evaluated three or
110 Li r days afterwards. -. The, treachery which ren_
de
Tel the measure abortive, was suspected to have
I originated with some of the people employed, about
. . the General.
t BUONAPARTE has not failed to call this aa of self-
• plesetwation, an a& of perfidy towards the allyt of
' ' BEAuLiEu's imperial master !He has also taken care
to.ia%ish the most extravagant applause upon the
Governors of Alexandria and Tortona, for having,
by.their loyalty, preserved these two citadels for the
.ing of Sardinia. It is, however, indisputable that
BEAULIEU, once master of them, would have ren-
dered infinitely more service to the King of Sar-
dinia, e%en though he had disobliged him in ap-
pearance, than .these two Commanders, who, by.
their apparent fidelity, laboured far more for the in-
terests of the French, than for the glory of their
coantry. BEAULIEU, by exerting himself for the
immediate advantage of the Austrian Army, ex-
erted himself also for the Sardinian army, for the
King of Sardinia, and for all Italy, which, in case of
=access, would not have been so easily overrun.
The Armistice signed between Count Cow
and BOON APARTE was . announced to BEAULIEU'
with the most rigid orders to retire beyond the Poi
with his whole artily, before the expiration of the.
W:ek. BEAULIEU was obliged to obey. In the in-
-ierval, nothing worthy of interesting the reader took

at straw, with a goose just. killed Concealed in the
straw under him. Upon being interrogated as to
the noise of the geese, and his being found there at
so very unseasonable an hour, be first gave an unsa-

his surprise at seeing -him in such a place (having no
apparent business there). he seeinctil confused, gave a

STORY OF MR. BOrENHOGUE.

CEROM THE VERMONT JOURNAL, AN AMERICAN PAPER.]

I would premise, that the gentleman who gave me
the following relation is a worthy, intelligent, and
respectable man ; that from the beginning of the
year 1793 to the close of the year 1796,' he corn-,
manded a ship and traded chiefly from Holland to
Guernsey ; hia name is left with the Editor, and if
any one will please to call otOlim, he will, I am
sure, relat., the story in a much more interesting
manner than I can pretend to, and satisfy the most
incredulous that it is no fidion.

In the year 1793, said Captain H. 1 was in Hol-
land, and had business with Mr. Bovenhogue, an
opulent citizen of Schiedam, a town situated about
4 or 5 mileS from Rotterdam, on a canal that com-
municates with the Maeso. ,He had in Schiedam a
beautiful seat, and a large
,distillery. Williamstadt
was at that time besieged by the French.—One day,
sailing with him in his yacht on the canal, we dis-
tinolly heard the cannonade between the town and
the French army.—Hark ! said Mr. B. do you hear
the cannon ? that sound is music to my ear. I hope
in. less than ten days the French will be masters of
Rotterdam:. Surely; said I, you cannot be serious.
I am, said he, with quickness. Rather than the
French should fail I could wish my daughter a beg-
gar..

7 This daughter was Mr. B.'s only child,— Here,
continued he,. see this Proclamation. The French
want 'nothing from us. They only wish) to !clic& off
our chains, and they swear that the Great Nation
shall never lay down their arms till they have plant-
ed the Standard-of rtberty on the walls 01 China.—
These are fine words, said I, but God fOrbid they
should ever plant their standard, on the walls of
Rotterdam.

, Though Williamstadt, at this time successfully
resisted the French, yet it' is well known, tha two
years after, viz. in January, 1795, they over-rat, Hol-
land T and Rotterdam, with the rest of the country,
became their prey.
I was in Holland after this event, and again I
had business with Mr. Bovenhogue. He agreed to
meet me on a certain hour on the Exchange ot Rot-
terdam. I was punCtual, but no Mr. Bovenho4ue
appeared. Alas ! he was in a dungeon.. When I-
saw 'him a few days. after,, he was
.in a 'sad condi-
tion his head was bound up,. and his face th,co-.
loured and bruised. lam ruined, said Mr. B. a, he
saw me. I aria ruined by my ttiendsbip for the
French. You yourself are a witness ot my enthu-
siastic attachment to their cause before they entered
my etuntry. My zeal didnot abate after they were
Masters of it—l welcomed them -to My house mad
to my bosom.
It is not long since their commissary sent me a
requisition for 18,000 guilders.. I immediwely re-
paired to his quarters---,Sir, said I, you have com-
mitted some mistake.—Surely you knew I was one
of your party, and facilitated as far as in my power,
your invasion ot Holland. I know it well, said he,
and expected before this time, you, who are a pa-
triot, would have made an offering to the great na-
tion of double this sum ore the altar of liberty. But
you are a wavering patriot., I soon round remon-
strances would be worse than useless. I paid him
the money, and requested a certificate that I had,
ad-
twaneed the French' army the required sum ; but. no
certificate could I obtain.

This commissary left us a few weeks ago,. and
another harpy, took his place. On the day" ap-
pointed to meet you, I received a requisition for
40,000 guilders. I waited upon him, and endea-
voured to convince him of his injustice, but as I
could make no impression, I consented to pay if he
would give me a certificate. At this, he lost all
patience ; Sir, said he, I make no conditions. There
is a guard which shall not leave you till you produce
the money. I give you one hour and no more.
Provoked by his insolence, I could not restrain
some angry expressions ; but I was soon stopped.
Take him to the dungeon, said he, and there he shall
lie till he becomes a reasonable man. The commis-
sary left the room. The guard instantly began to
strip me.. They left me scarce decent clothing.
was then carried to the prison, and thrust into a
dungeon with the vilest walefa&ors. These wretches-
beat me with their iron bandcutfs,. because I could
not pay the entrance money of their dark abode; and..
the bruises, which you see on my head and face,, are
the consequence of their barbarous treatment. In
this dungeon, as the Commissary prophesied, I soon
became a reasonable man, and consented to pay the
40,000 guilders, without requiring certificate or re-
ceipt.

My business at this time with Mr. Bovenhogue
was to purchase gin. I took a quantity on board
my ship and contracted for a number of pipes more,
to be delivered at any time on a short notice. After
making several trips to Guernsey, I returned to
Rotterdam fur the gin ; but alas, Mr. B. was not to.
be found. I went lu his house at Schiedam—it
was occupied by a French Officer. I inquired
for my friend. The Officer had never heard. his
name. This Gentleman treated me with great
civility and regretted he could give me no in-
formation. He informed• me that the troops in
the neighbourhood had been there but a little
while. The detachment we succeeded, said the
Officer, have joined the army of the Rhine.—
I walked into town to get intelligence of Mr. B. I
went 'to his distillery in a boat. It *as occupied as
a barrack, and all I could learn abont Mr. B. was,
that he had been drafted as a soldier, and sent, with
some other conscripts, to tight, nobody knew
where., tke battles of Liberty, in the armies of the
Great Nat . I
Mr. B. has never been heard of since.
I will only add, that his wish has been accom-
plished—lns daughter is a beggar.
