troops to march on the 18th in the morning on
the bridges of Bray and Montereau-; the Duke of

went there
.with the corps of the Duke of Bet-
luno and General Gerard, the Guard on foot and
on horscback ; General Pagol on his side march-
ed from Melun upon Montereau. The enemy at-
tempted to defend the. position. 11,e..yas- over-
thrown, and with such vigour, that the town and
the bridges on the Yonne and 'the Seine were
carried by assault, so that these:bridges are un-
injured, and we passed over them in pursuit of the
enemy. We have at this moment 3000 prisoners,
Bavarians and Wurtembergcrs, among whom is
one General; also three pieces of cannon.
PARIS, FEB. 19.—1 t is affirmed, that in a sally,

enemy a numerous park of artillery.

a column of 2687 prisoners, with 58. officers, en-
tered our city. They belong to the advanced
guard of Gen. Bellegarde, cut off on the 9th, 10th,
and llth instant, on ,which days the enemy was
completely beaten. To-morrow another column
of 3000 prisoners will pass, going to Alexandria.
The loss of the enemy in the engagements at
Volta, at Gnito, and before Mantua, is- estimated
at 13,000 men ; we know from the official ac-
counts that our loss is inconsiderable.

The bead-quarters of the corps of the right of
the Italian army, commanded by the General of
Division Count Athohard, are in our city, where
all is in great activity.. The division Gratien,
the lst.crf-the army of reserve, is assentbled.there.

,
arrived here yesterday, to take measures
for collectrrig provisions, and providing for the
wants of the army; reserve magazines Were already
formed. The town of Placentia„ Seconding the
zeal of the Sub-Prefect and the Mayor, has sbewn
its good will by the aid of every* thing which it
has offered to our brave defenders. It is impos-
sible to see finer cavalry than that which is now
here, coming from the army in Spain.
The works for the defence of the bridge and
•
the citadel arc finished.

Prussian,- and Russian prisoners that were. to pass

'ten thousand foot, and two thousand horse, in

Thismorning,itt day-break,
the light troops of Lieutenant-General,Grenier,
from Volta, and-those of General Ve?dier, from
11ontzambano, reconnoitred the enemy on the
heights which surround Borghetto. The Prince
Viceroy; Who had mounted his horse at the same
inome4t, made some columns advance .to support
the fire of the voltigeurs,- who were warmly en-
gaged. Lieutenjuit-General Grenier advanced
by the height on the right, with the division, Ma-
resguet, while-with the division Fressinet, Genera
Verdier marched by theheights on the left.

The enemy, though protected by batteries on
the opposite heights, could not support the shock
of ohr troops. All the positiOns on which they
attempted to make a stand were successively car-
ried,-and they cwere forced to repass the Mincio.
We took 200 prisoners, and they left an equal
number of dead or) the field of battle. We have
had 20 mcultilled and 150 wounded: Thus the
