March amp, of the grenaMaxstshe .20th Negissant e

" Verona, December 4, B. ;
BAYONNE, DECEMBER 12.
The day before yesterday, iii Ole !tinning, the
Duke of Dalmatia caused an attack to be made on
that part of the enemy's army which had advanced
the preceding day to the intteitched tamp. of Bay-
onne.. It was driven as far as the.lwight; of Bar-
touillet and. Be4art.
The plateau of Bpssussary was cariied.With the
bayonet. The rain has been very violent last night
and during the day.
Count Reille, having under his orders the 7th and
9th .divisions which were afterwards reinforced by the
`lst division, and who was supported by the division
.of

reserve under General Villatte, attacked the wood
of Barrouillet, where the Ist and sth English divi.
siuns were formed and intrenched. Conit Reille
'had dislodged them from it, when General Clauzel,
1 • '
who with the divisions under Vs orders was before
the enemy's entrenchments at Areauques, saw that
part of the enemy's army, which had passed the
Nive, return in haste and form on the heights of
Udainer, he demanded reinforcements, which Were
sent bin:.

At night we remained masters of the plateaux of
Bassussary and of that of Batiouillet.
The enemy had foir English and one Portuguese
division posted on the plateaux 'of Busiusaary, -Ar-
.

caugues, and Birrouillet.
The 'Marshal's object has been attained .; the ene-
my. has been obliged to recall to the left bank of the
Niie, all the troops which had the preceding day ad-
vanced to the right bank.
The loss of the enemy this dap was very con-
siderable ;—we have taken 1200 English prisoners,
among whom are 15 Officers, including a Colonel
and a Major.
We have not above 800 men put bore de combat.—
General Villatte was wounded, but very slightly.
• Yesterday, about ten in the morning, the enemy
Advanced four regiments of infantry on the prolong-
ation of the plateaux of Barrouillet, to endeavour to
take from us that positiun. Our posts were supported
by the division of General Datrecau, and these regi-
ments were overthrown ; they fell back on a line
which the enemy had formed in the rear. -
General Boyers had orders to attack this line on
its left flank, while Gen. Darrecau marched against
it in front. The brigade Mene sufficed to force the
enemy to retire, he was put to the rout. This attempt
has also cost the enemy very dear. We have killed
and wounded a great number of his men, and taken
four or fire hundred prisoners. On the rest of the
line nothing has passed.
ARAU, DECEMBER 10.

Last Saturday his Majesty the Emperor and King
went to visit the Imperial House of St. Denis, estab-
lished, like that of Ecouen, for the education of
daughters of Members of the Legion of Honour. His
Idajesty was satisfied with the good management and
%order which are found in.this establishment.
On Monday his Majesty held a Council of Fi-
• trances with the Ministers of the Finances of the Trea-
.sury. The day before yesterday, in the • mnrning,
after the review, .his Majesty presided in the Council
• of State.

LATTER* FROM ins IMPERIAL THE PRINCE
VICEROY OF ITALY) TO VIE DEICE I)L lELIZE, MI-
, IitSTER OF WAR.

66 Sur—By my last I acquainted you that the ene-li
My seemed disposed to post strong parties on the '
Lower Adige. In fact, one of the columns landed '
at Volano, had succeeded in passing the Po, protec-
ted by English gun boats, which hid ascended that
river, and had rapidly advanced against our small
posts of observation at slides and La Boyar*.
46 These posts fell back, as they were instructed to
do, upon Casl"gnaro. As soon as I was informed of
the enemy's motiuns towards Ferrara, I had detached
from the zimy and movable columns the one com-
manded by Major Merdier, which I placed under the
orders of General Count Pino ; it was to, march back
towards Ferrara, by the right bank, and it retook that
city on the 2J of November, after having beaten the
enemy there.
46 The other column, commanded by the General
of Brigade Conchy, and composed of three battalions
of the division of Marcognet, two pieces of cannon,
and 200 of the third regiment of Italian chasseurs,
was ordered to mantzuvre between the Lower Po and!
the Loner Adige, to hinder the enemy from fixing
himself in the Polisena. From the 27th•to the 30th
this General had met with only some of the enemy's
parties, which were.taken or repulsed, and he had for
a moment approached the Po to communicate with
Ferrara, when be learnt that a strong column of the
enemy was marching to Bovara. The first accounts
made it coiisist of three thousand foot and four hun-
dred horse.

M. de Wattenwell, General in Chief of the troops
of the Swiss Confederation, is at Basle, since the. 3d
instant ; he arrived there with an escort of dragoons
of Berne.
All the Deputies of the Cantons to the Extraordi-
nary Dict have loft Zurich to return home.
LIEGE, DECEMBER 11.

By letters of the Bth, froni Bois le Duc, all was
quiet in the environs of that place ; and by letters of
the 9th, from Wesel, the same was the case there :
sometimes hi the morning they fired a few shot at
the enemy's patroles which prowl at some distance
from the right bank of the Rhine. Many French
troops continue to arrive on the sidle of Nimeguen.—
They occupy Gorcum and all the strong places in
Holland. Considerable reinforcements arrive to those
which keep the field.
On the ith of this month, a flag of truce brought
over to the left bank several French civil officers of
the Grand Duchy of Berg, whom . the enemy has
sent away.

STRASBURG, DECEMBIER Is.
It is reported th:.t ;he greater part of the enemy's
troops who were on the side of Offenberg and bet,,re
the tort of Kehl, have quitted those posts. It is not
known if they are to be replaced. It is said that some
Saxon troops are now at Bischoffsheim and in the
environs. . _

16 The enemy by this movement seemed to intend i
to reinforce the troops landed by General Nugent,
to try to himself in Polesina, to cut off cur corn-
rnunicAtiou whir Venice, and, by disturbing my right,
attempt to make me quit the position I occupy. Gl-
teral Conchy, notwithstanclhig the inferiority of his
force, did no; hesitate to march against the enemy.—
His first posts were met yesterday. the 3d, between
Fratla and Rovigo. General Conchy immediately
formed several columns ; they marched upon the
enemy, and all the bodies which he strewed were suc-
cessively turned or overthrown. At last these troops
dispersed ; a paft retired to Crespino, where was the
column of General Nugent, and where the Archduke
Maximilian was ; the other part full back on La
Bovara, where it repassed the Adige, in such disor-
der, that a great number were drowned. The result
of this day does the greatest honour to the troops em-
ployed, is a loss to the enemy of four Irincired killed
and wounded, and eight hundred pritoners.--
A mong the last were a Major, five Captains, and six
other officers.

Our advanced works which cover the approaches of
the fort of Kehl have now a formidable appearance.
Extraordinary works have been made there in a short
time, a great number of workmen from the left bank
of the Rhine are employed on them.
By the last accounts from Mount Tonnen, all is
perfectly quiet there.

BASLE, DECEMBER 10.

The Generals of the allied troops on our frontiers
have assured the Authorities of Switzerland, that
they had received positive orders to respect our neu-
trality. However, as they do not withdraw from the
confines of our territories, our military preparations
are continued with the zAme activity.

According to the news we receive from Germany,
all landholders and prudent people ardently desire
peace ; but there are some miserable writers, worthy
rivals of the Schlegels, the Kotzehues, the Werners,
who are incessantly employed in inflaming the pas.
sions of the multitude. lntrenched behind their
presses and their pamphlets, they bravely insult the
French nation, which, if one believe them, is wholly
degenerated, and has neither courage, honour, nor
sense left.

". Our loss is comparatively very trifling, being
only three killed and forty wounded, of whom four
are officers. This comes from the gocd measures
taken by General Couchy, and also from the ardour
and resolution which the troops chewed in the attack.

It appears that the Russian and Austrian Deputies,
who have repaired to Zurich, have been much sur-
prised at the firmness with which the Llandaniman
declared to them, in the name of the Diet, that if the
armies of the Powers at war should, under any pre-
text whatever, violate the Swiss territory, they would
be treated as enemies. Switzerland is resolved to re-
main neuter, in the strictest sense of the expression.
The enemy's Envoys did not expect to see powerful
measures executed almost as soon as resolved on.

the Diet to the Allied Sovereigns at Frankfort, to
present to them this act of neutrality of Switzerland,

WORMS, DECEMBER 0.
Every thing is tranquil before Meats, and in our
whole neighbourhood ; the enemy has made no at-
tempt. His whole ambition seems to be to take up
his winter quarters. There have been some ch.tu,ges!
in the situation of the corps of his army s for example,
the Austrians have been relieved by Russians and
Prussians belonging to the army of Field Marsh3l
Blucher, who has fixed his head quarters'at Hoeehet..

BOURDEAUX, DECEMBER
. •
On the 9th the enemy with five divisions, amount-
ing to 35,000 men, forced the passage of AO and
passed the Nive. He took up his positions all along
that river

Our army defended itself valiantly; but according
to tl.e orders it had received, entered its lines again
in the greatest order. During the night his. Excel-
lency the Duke of Dalmatia collected 50,000 men, to
attack the enemy-the next day, and make him repent
of his rashness.
The attack took place on the 10th, at eight A. H.
The enemy, who had perceived his position was dan-
gerous, had caused three divisions to recross the Nive
during the night; so there remained only two. Our
troops marched with intrepidity against these two di-
visions, which were vigorously pursued. A good
'number of prisoners are already in our hands; but
all the details were not known when the express came
away. On our left, near Verretie, the English army
was led fighting as far as Bidort, and every where
broken. Thd ardour of the troops was perfectly se-
conded by the excellent measures of the Marshal.
We shall, undoubtedly; have more details to-mor-
row. We hope that the two divisions of the enemy,
which remained on this side of the Nive will be
pushed into the river.

The Dorset Militia, cantoned in the county Kerry,
have partially volunteered for general service.
Wednesday upwards of 50 of the Waterford Mili-
tia
turned out at Limerick, for that dislinguidied
KA-
girnent, the 85th, or Connaught bangers. . •
