Eneniy, then a-head of them, was waiting their ap-
proach in an intrenehect Camp at Campo Tenese,--
The Enemy's Achadiced Post, at the month of one
of -the defiles,awasivery Seen repulss7al by our Sharp-
shooters, while several Companies of Light Troops
were detached to the mountains on the right and.
left of the elevated plain of Campo Tenese.
" The Enemy's Camp vas in the centre of this
plain; its right and left supported by the mountains
that skirted them, and which were covered by se-
veral Battalions. These Redoubts, fortified with
heavy artillery, were ereeted in the front of their
Cavalry and their Artillery ; but as - soon as the
Army had entered the defile of St. Martin, the snow
began to fall very faSt, which, together with a thick
mist, prevented them from distina°uishing any ()la-
ical, and even - from, seeing their Enemies, recon-
-1 noitring their positions, or taking measures for at-
tacking
them. However, the first Battalion of the
42d Regiment was ordered to ascend the heights on,
the left, to support the Light Troops, who were in
pursuit of the- Enetny. At the entry of the plain;
the first Regiment of Light Infantry, and the 2d
Battalion of the 42d, were ordered to form under Gen.
COMPERE i this movement was very slow, because the
Soldiers could only pass the defile one by one.. Gen.
VERDIER'S Division afterwards formed the 2d line.
A part of the troops having formed under the can-
non of the Neapolitan Camp, the light troops of
the Ist Regiment of Light'lnfantry, and a battalion
of the 42d.Regiment, arrived upon the HeightS that
commanded' the right of the Enemy. They had
i chased two regiments charged with the defence'of
those Heights, and by this success out-flanked the
I Neapolitan's right. At this instant General Rets-
-1 'grail ordered the Generla COMPLRE• and,Veamta
eto beat the charge. The Enemy was routed, and
I abandoned his redoubts and his cannon, being able
i to take but a small party with him, by the way of
Morana, where the light troops of the left had ar-
rived.; the EneMy's fulantry and Cavalry took re-
i fuge in- the Mountains covered with snow, where
( they were followed by our Sharp-shooters, and a
I great number taken. Night came on—tile mist and
. the snow had prevented us trim surrounding and
taking the whole Army upon the field of battle.—
Thus dispersed, a great number of them perished
with hunger and cold. Others were compelled' to
come and Surrender themselves. , The Cavalry,-
I which was still in the defile in our rear, was not
able. to arrive tithe enough to take a part in the ac-
tion, and charge the Enemy at the mOment of their
flight. ten. DAMAS sated himself with about too'
men and too horses.. -In the evening the Army
entered Metano with the Neapolitan fugitives ; and
'afterwards passed the night in the Open air beyond
I that city, as did Victim me s Division else, upon the
declivity o f the Mountain which leads to it. The
1 Cavalry and- the-Swiss battalion passed the night in
I the snow upon Campo Tenese, with the prisoners
1 and the wounded Neapolitans. . .
I "00 the loth, in the morning, . they colle..led
I 1.800 priseners and ion Officers, including the Bria
1 gadier:Generals Tscsium and RICCI. The whole
of the sAarillery was taken, with live pair of colours
and several horses. Olathe same day the advanced
1 guard marched to Cassano', where they, made 100
privates and 30 oaicet's prisoners. Marshal ROSEN..
DEIN had withdrawn on the preceding evening,
,r. having recalled all the Troops'that hod advoi,ed to-
, Wur4.3 Besetta, and passed the Coscile.' The Mein

'. Wards :;an Antonio della,'Fiera, and marched to
Tarsia, where the . Chasseurs charged, and took
. some Neapolitan Cavalry.. _The weather was drbad-
I ful : the rain fell in torrents ; and the overflowing
of the Coscile prevented the Reserve from passing it
till the day folloWing.
" On the 12th the Army arrived at St. Antonia),
I when a squadron of , the 6th, Regiment of chasseurs
I. entered Cosenza, almost neon the heels of the Nea-
politans, several of whom were .made prisoners. At
Cosenza six pieces of cannon were found, with seve-
ral caissons, and some officers were made prisoners.'

that followed in his suite. 'He was also followed by
a part of Marshal ROSENHEIM'S Corps, by different
routes, on theltth and 12th. Our Army was re-

of the greatest satisfaaiou. .

" On the 9th, the main body encamped near
Seinmera, after a very fatiguing March, and expe-
riencing much difficulty in passing the Rivers Me-

rains. On the. 20 th , the Army marched beihre

" General REGNIER was in hopes that tie whole
of the Neapolitans would net have had time to em-
bark ;. and under this idea he marched to the Coast
with the whole of the Cavalry, and left the Inthotry
in the defiles very far from him.. No more Neapt)-
