,Tle now reflected ser;(ALAy on the Most
erticient menns to be employed to cidinthe uneasi-
ness of his wife,_ abd, it: possible, to withdraw his
daughter without 'irritating her feelings. He 're::
ici,yed the attempt to engage her voluntary compli-
ance, in.iisting'strOugly,' among many other dangers
to which. site eras exposed, on the discovery made
by her:Mother, and offering to accquirrnoChtte her in
hi'slinusd with every thing that coitd give her satis-
i 1‘

This attempt was however fruitlesS. She ,an-
swered reweatillly; that .she would pot fail to pay
attention to what her mother had remarked respe6t-
ing her ; no Would she hesitate a moment to' tly to
the bosom 'of- her -family • (always • dear ,to her) as
soon as peace
,should take place, and which could
not be at a great' distance; :but she begged him' to
.raed, that she would lose tbe little merit she had.
acquired in her c"areer if she should quit it at that
crisis. Lastly, that he might perfeCtly tranquillize
himself on her account, seeing, that in the course of
three years and an half, she had been able happily
to support her CharaCter in the midst 'pt ;in army,
andin a Varidty of critical situations. In this man-
ner she took leave of her parents, and proceeded to
execute the remaindtr of her Commissions.

Meanwhile her father resolVed to go to Milan,
and in this dilemma to be guided entirely by Count
Cocasteli, a nobleman who hatmuch regard for
him, and who, being Commissary=6eneral. of his.
Imperial Majesty it Lombardy, 'and near the at-my
of Italy, could be of service to in an affair Of
stich delicacy..
' In consequence Of this atMee, and through the
medium of .the Count, he addressed a memorial to
his Excellency Baron il,lelas, disclosing the story of
his daughter, and soliciting, for her an honOurable'
discharge.

C0,1111111SSi()13, while her father was, unknown to her,
engaged in this scheme, returned to her regiment,
which she fbund at the Outposts •of the 'blockade' of
Genoa, encamped on Monte BeccO,, and near Monte
• Fascia., On the same day that this latter place ca-
pitulated she receiVed notice that the CoMmander in
Chief had sent an ordeeto the battalton td -petthit
Licut. Seanagatti to proceed to join his family at
Milan, This permission; unsolicited by fkr, was
equallydisagreeable and unexpeeted. She ian
perceived 'that' it-must haVe come through her
parents ; but, though cruelly.,disappointed, She con-
soled herself that she was not dis Covered to be a girl,
. but was treated as an officer in the very order of the
Commander in Chief; and what confirmed her in
this flattering idea vas, that next day, being at din-
ner with General Baron De Gottsheirn, command-
ing the division of the Imperial Artnrinthis neigh-
bourhood, she was always addressed by the -titb..! of
Lieutenant, and nothing occurred that gave. her the
smallest suspicion that her sex.was
Amidst thee relle&ions she resolved, on the ad
of June, 1800, to proceed on her journey towards
her paternal' maniion, but on the Bth 'of the same
month having learnt at Bologna that the enemy had
just entered the Milanese, she thought icadvii,eable
to dire& her, route to Verona, to which the stall' of
the Austrian army was then transferred. She then.
applied for, and obtained a new route for Venice,
Where' her father then was, and where she remained
tired of an inactive life, till the peace of Luneville
permitted her to return with safety to her country.
And it was-with no small regret that she lefl Offa
uniform obtained through the most signal merit,
and supported t.n the most honourable and exem-
plary manner.
To attest the truth of which, and the well-me-
rited opinion of her zealous and tilitidul 'services,
the Commander in. Chief, General Baron Melas, iu
a rescripl.of .the 23d of May, 1801, announced to
the Supreme Council of War, that on the 1t th of
July,, 1800, he had conferred her Lieutenantcy on
her brother, who was then a Cadet ill the Regiment-
of Betiojoso. • - ' ;

• It is-.only necessary to add,, ,that this adventurous
young Lady having resumed her sex, in the bosom
of her family, is no less a pattern of female merit
than she had formerly been of military condual, ful-
filling, with unexampled sweetness and equanimity
of temper, the office. of governess to beryouncrer
sisters, and otherwise assisting her venerable mother
in the details of family Manililement.
