decisive services elsewhere.

away all the doubts which the .personal conduct

from him several letters, much at variance with
the opera!ions of his troops.
" The King is in a suite of great agitation. He
is astonished that the Viceroy•should have retired,
from the Adige, and that I have quitted Tuscany,

LEtthit FROI ELIZABUONAPARiE TO EUONA AI TLS.

" .tuccay February 14, 181,i.
" have had the honour of itiformi9g
.your Majesty by my reports •ol•the sth and Bth
of this Month, of the concentrating movement
operated by the I'riuce of Lucca tion Pisi; in
consequence of 'the circumstances Which induced
the to quit Florence, to order the evacuation of
that city, and to assemble all the troops of the
vision upon a point -of- greater security: 'The
Prince has maintained -himself at Pisa till now ;
but having received advice of all English expedi-
tion; amounting by all accounts to at, least 6000
men,
,and which appears to be undoubtedly di-
rected from Sicily against Leghorn, Spezia, or.
Genoa, I have determined to order the Prince to
continue his movement upon Genoa, in order that
his- retreat may not be cut off by the only road
which still remains open. ,
" I have been confirmed in this-plan by having
ascertained that some Neapolitan troops, supe-
rior numbers, are already at Pistoia, and have
forced our advanced posts to abandon the passage
of Serravaik.
