The Prince Viceroy having directed the Royal
Guard upon Salo, to which place the enemy had I
pushed a column of 2000 men, took possession of that!
city on the 16th, in defiance of all resistance. The young ,
cbasseurs of the guard, with the brave Colonel Pe.l
raldi at their head, carried, at the point of the bayonet, !
the outer gate of the city, which the enemy had en-
trenched- This exploit secures the left of the Rimy, i
which the enemy was endeavoui ing to disttoh on the'
side of the mountains. The•enerny Heel towards Tos.,
colano in the greatest disorder, and was pursued sword
in hand : we took from there one officer, and eighty
sub officers and soldieis. We have had 39 wounticd
and l'2 killed: among the latter we have to regret
three officers. The flotilla on the lake of Guarda,
commanded by Captain Tempier, contributed to our
success, by cannonading the enemy's columns on the
wads skirting the lake, which forced from .1 to 600
men to disperse themselves in the mountains, atter
throwing away their arms. General Theodore Lech'
•has communicated to the ltigar Guards the Prince
Vicermy's satisfaction with the conduct of the troops
employed in thitaCtion.

the command of the Austria 4 troops in the first line.
The deserters agree, that the enemy suffers greatly
for want of forage. One could not find at this time
twenty trusses of hay and a sack of oats between the-
Adige and the Mincio.
Since the battle of the Bth, the enemy has been re-
inforced by the regiment of cavalry of Hohenzollern,
and a regiment of cuirassiers, said to be that of Som-
mariva. The enemy have lately-required at Verona
a thou*tnd waggons, mostly to transport the soldiers
wounded in the last battle.
PARIS, FEBRUARY 2S.
We ha' received news from a Chateau beyond
Troyes. The enemy have exercised all manner of
devastation' there. • The country has become a de-
sert, all the inhabitants have fled ; for miles around
not a head of cattle is to be found. There prevails
a girt animosity between the Russian and Austrian
Officers. They refuse to lodge or eat together.—
Many bloody quarrels have taken place between them
in the court-yard of the Chateau. The Russians treat
the Austrians with the most insulting contempt.—
The inhabitants of the invaded countries make a great
difference between the soldiers of the two nation! :
the Austrians are, indeed, very exorbitant in their
demands, but they are not cruel ; whereas the Rus-
sians have an instinctive ferocity which nothing can
soften. One seeks in vain to distinguish the vassal
from the met who is supposed to have received some
education. The latter has, indeed, some external
appearance of urbanity, which excites some hopes,
but one is soon undeceived, and the natural disposi-
, %ion resumes its trnpire.
MILAN, FF.IMUARY 14.

The Senate having deliberated on the Proclamation
of the Prince Viceroy to the People of It-dy, 114 s re-
solved to present his Imperial Highness the following
Addres: :

" Purmar.—You have spoken to the Italian people,
and at your voice all those among us have rallied,
who are faithful to their sovereign, to their country,
and to the'r honour. During peace, yon provided
with paternal solicitude, and wise foresight, for all
the wants of the kingdom, and opened to it all the
sources of public prosperity. Nos the din of a new
war calls you again to arms for our defence. Ircu
have found means, during three months, to oppose
to the enemy sach,a resistance, that the gre tit:sr part
of our territory, protected by your powerful ar to, has
remained undistUrbed amidst the cor-diagration %%hid)
rages in the rust of Europe. This tranquillity %%Told
certainly not have' been interrupted a moment, hut
for an event that has no parallel in the history cf na-
tions. But you will triumph t.vt.r all intrigues and
all machinations. Provalenc,: abhors ingratitude,
and avenges violated hospitality. The star of Napo-
leon still shines with great lustre; and if you, Prince,
remain at our head, who can fear that victory will
abandon us ?

" Prince !—The fate of this fine kingdom is in
your hands; the whole people will be docile and will
he eager to answer to your call. Your voice, pene-
trating the enemy's lines, will inflame with new con.
rage all the Italians who are surrounded by the foe,
and whom he seeks to seduce by senseless promises.
We all swear to unite with you: we devote to you
our sentiments, our means, and our persons, old our
oath is sacred. Ah ! who would not he proud it
following a guide whose invincible valour the enemy
themselves praise ?—a Prince whose virtues would
'suffice to make our age honoured by posterity, a hero
who has chosen the only sublime, the only immortal
motto—honour and fidelity.
" Milan, in the Palace of the Senate, Feb. 10, 1814."

The Municipality of the City of Paris assembled
on the 26th in the Town Hill to.receice the D.Trities
of the towns of Montereau, Sezanne, Nogent. Sur-
Seine, Provins, and Chateau Thierry, sent to com-
municate the details of what they have suffered
the enemy. These details, which are given at length,
with the signatures of Al the deputies, in the Mon/tear
and other papers, are too.lung and too revoking to
be given entire. They present a series cf pictures,
which may serve as companions to those of the atro-
cities of the French themselves in those unhappy
countries which have witnessed the retreat of tneir
discomfited armies.

1 he desolated environs of Leipsic and Hamburgh,
if we are to believe these accounts, find their connter-
part on the banks of the Seine and the Marne ; and
the scenes of Wnerden have been renewed and re-
venged on French ground. The following pa..:age,
which is nearly repeated in all the accounts, strews a:
least the impression a hich it is wished to give the ci-
tizens of Paris concerning the views of the Allies:
To annihilate us was their principal and infa-
mous desire : we are resolved, said they, toextermi-
nate you, and to t.ike from you, for fifty years to
come, the means of fighting and defending yourselves.
We have not be.4tin to plunder tilt we got to Chau-
mont, because we me.in to tix your frontier there ;
but if, contrary to all expectation, our immense army
should experience reverses, the thunder will not be
more terrible than our vengeance.
"In the intoxication their ephemeral successes,
the Russians publicly announced their near entrance
into Paris .; and their design to carry off all the pre-
ions monuments, the immortal trophies of our vic-
oteries to give up Paris to pillage, to carry off the
women to people their horrible deserts, to blow up
the Thuilleries, and, in short, to turn the teat of the
flue AILS mu) a heap of ruins."
In another parr, the Prince of Witrtemberg and
the Young Prince of Prussia are accused of appro.
priatimg to their own use whatever articles pleased
thorn.
