ARMY.OF ITALY.

DIMINO?, GENERA?, OF DIVISION, cams OF THE
STAFF, TO THk MINISTER AT WAR.
Headittarters at Verona, Jan. 4.
Citizen Minifter-4 have the honour to fend you
an account of the paffage of the Adige, and the
entrance of the French army into Verona.
Since the battle of the 26th ult. the army ad.
vaned, occupying on the left the heights of Caltel
Nuovo, and taking port on the right between Verona
and Legnago. A ftrong detachmentwas fent before
Mantua, to mafk that place. The enemy on the
might between the 26th and 27th evacuated the poll
of Bonquetto, leaving. their cannon behind them.
This pa, together with that of Goito, thns fe-
cured our rear by two paffages over the Mincio.
. On the 28th the advanced guard detached two
demi-brigades to take poll on the left bank of the
Lake di Garda, and to cut off the garrifon of
Pefchiera from an communication with the Auf-
trian army, whilft the Polifh corps commanded by
General Domeiower was ordered to inveft. the'
town on the right bank, covering the high road
from Lonago to Brefcia, and cinting it off from
all communication by the Mincio with Verona and
Mantua.

On the 29th the town was completely inverted.
The advanced guard puled a reconnoitering
party upon Paftrengo and Buffelingo. The enemy
had abandoned their pofitions ; the divifions of the
centre followed them ; the referve took poll in the
centre between the advance I guard and the right,
marching in front of Verona, to the village of St:
Lucie, fent on a ftrong detachment to the very
walls of Verona. The body of the army had paired,
the Adige ; but they had ftrengthened, with a nu-
merous artillery and Tome troops, an entrenched
camp, which they had formed before the town,
covering the great road from Verona to Mantua.
On the 29th the General transferred his head-
quarters to Villa Franca. On the 3oth a recon-
noitering party was pufhed upon the whole of the
enemy's hne along the Adige. .One would have
thought that they had determined to difpute the
paffage from the number of troops drawn up at all
points. In the mean time orders had been given
for three days to make the pontoons be evacuated
which it was neceffary to bring from the Volta and
Mozembano ; the means of tranfporting an arm
being very &avec, their arrival had been very much '
retarded. It was thought fufficient to employ and
diftrefs the enemy by powerful demonftrations on
the Lower Adige between Verona and Legnago,
that we might draw to that point the principal
part of their force.
On the evening of the 31ft the pontoons were
fent to Bull-dingo, and the Commander in Chief
Axed his head-quarters there. It was determined
that the paffage of the river should be attempted
next morning at day-break. Au attack was to be
made on two points. The felt was the place where
it was really intended the advanced guard fhould
pals, and one divifion of the left, and two divifions
of the centre, were Rationed a mile above Buffe-
lingo, at the harp turning of the Adige. The fe-
cond palrage, which was only feigned, was to be
attempted near Ghieri, by the troops compofing
the Lieutenancy of Refirve. The right was to
approach as near as poffible to Verona, and to
threaten the entrenched camp. The cavalry were
to a& along with it in this falfe attack.
On the in unit, the bridge was conftrutled at Buf-
Mingo, under cover of.fizty pieces of cannon. A
(man corps of obfervation, which the enemy had
detached on the right bank of the Adige, retreat-
ed in order without making any refiftance.
The advanced guard, commanded by Lieite;
nant-General Dr LMAS, croffed firft ; the divifions
Gazan, and Loi(on, under the orders of Lieute-
nant-General Su c ar, followed it, and formed to
the right of it; the divifion Boudet, commanded
by Lieutenant-General Monc;v, went fall, and
drew up on the left. Each divifion marched in
column, and by divifions, flanked by a regiment
of light honk, and fupported by the companies of
artillery attached to each Lieutenancy. The ene-
my retreated in good order to the village of St.
Roch, the moment the riflemen made their ap-
pearance. The palfage bad been rendered rather
tedious, fine near 25,000 men paffed by the fame
bridge. At fun let the army drew up before the
village of Picantina, fupporting its right upon the
Adige, and its left on the heights near the great
toad from Verona to Trent.

Next day (the sd) the divifion of BOIYDPT re-
ceived orders to march upon La Chiufa to R•t-m
that poll, asad to advance towards Roma--
Hering arrived at that height, it was to form a
junction with the ferond divifion of the left, eons-
scalded by Genial Rncu•ssaaav, who had rc-

ceived orders on the pa to get polfiffion of Rica
and Torbole, marching up the left bank of the lake
Di Garda, to occupy Mort, to proceed afterwards
towards Roveredo, when the army fliould have
palled the Adige. The divition of infantry and
cavalry in referee, who on the 31ft had made only
a feigned attack at Ghieri, received orders on the
night between the 3111 ult. and tft init. to march
with the greatest rapidity to Bu Ifelingo, and there to
pals the Adige. The right wing, commanded by
Lieutenant-General DuPont. received orders to
take poll at Buffelingo. There movements were
executed on the morning of the zIL In the
conrfe of the day, the whole army, with the e.
ception of the dirifions of the right wing, were on
the kft hank of the Adige, marching towards Ve-
rona The enemy, tieing this city laid open, on
the morning of the ill puffiest tome parties of
cavalry on the high *ay from Verona to Ghieri
and Villa Franca. But theft parties were loon
obliged to retreat. A charge of the firit regiment
of cavalry completely put to rout two regiments of
huffars. A hundred of them were taken together
with fifty ho-fes. On the fame day the advanced
guard gained the heights to the left of Verona,
taking pot} at the entrance into the valley of Pon-
tena, General SocH yr marching along the Adige,
took poffeffion of Arona and Sc. Roch. A (qua.
dron of the enemy's cavalry, which covered the t
, retreat of the rear, was charged with vigour by a
fquadron of the 13th regiment of chaffeurs, and by
the guard of the Commander in Chief, headed by
his Aids-du-Camp. We took 6o horfes, and iso
prifoners. The army advanced in the night al-
ma to the walls of Verona. In the night between
the ill and ad, this city was evacuated. • The
army of the enemy retreated by the way of Vicen‘
za, and took poll to the right of Montebello, and
the left of San Bonifacchio. On the morning of
the ad two regiments of French cavalry entered
Verona. The enemy have thrown !coo, com-
manded by Lieutenant-General KEINETM, into
forts St. Felix and St. Pierre. Meafures were im-
mediately taken u, preferve order and tranquillity
in this populous city. The command of it has
been intrufted to Adjutant Commandant CAMPA.
as an officer not lefs aaive than firm, and one
whole integrity is univerfaily known. The divi.
lion Monci was charged with the exterior and inte-
rior blockade of the forts of Verona. The divilion
VATRITi took poll at St. Lucie. The divifion BAD-.
DE r marched in the direaion of Alla. The ad-
vanced guard, the centre, and the rcferves of in-
fantry and cavalry advanced on the road to Vi-
cenza. On the 3d they took up a pofition at St.
Mann, about three miles from Verona.

On the 4th the advanced guard continued to
march-towards Vicenza, following the fummit of
the mountains. The enemy defended
.fome port.
tions with confiderable obitinacy, but (icing them-
felves in danger of being turned, they retreated in
order behind Montebello. Night put a (top to this
petty combat, in which we made fcireral prifonere.
The army took. poft at the dillance of about four
miles from Vicenza.

On the 6th, the divifion Boyne r, in taking
poiTellion of China, made 300 prifoners. rt
marched on the 3d againh Alia, the avenues of
which were defended by the enemy to the number
of goon men. We fucceeded however in driving
them out, after having made 500 pi itoners. Ge-
neral Bouner, on the Loh, purfued his route to
Roveredo, of which he is to make himfelf maker
to-day. He will, at the fame time, form a junc-
tion with General ROCKAPAINAV, who yellerday
took poffellion of Riva and Torboli, and concen-
trated his forces at Mori, While he waits fur news
from General BOODRT.

Such, Citizen Minitier, are the operations of the
army from the 6th of Lecetnber to Jan. 5.• To-
morrow the army will be at Vicenza, and I fhall
have the honour to fend you an account of its al.
tenor movements. I have the honour to falute
you refpedfully. (Signed) OUDINOT.

Citizen Minifter—General Musk; received
your commands at Geneva. The Corps of Ob.
fervation immcditcly began its march. One divi-
bun croired the Alps of the Little St. Bernard,
the other Mount Cenis, 2nd the cavalry came by
Mount Geneva. No difficult) could retard the
foldiers j they hoped to arrive in time to aiEft the
army of Italy at the paff.ige of the Mincio, but
your orders gave us another direflion. General
Moitar will at Ancona the firft decade of Plu-
viofe, with all lsc corps of obfervation. It is con-
fidently Rated that a part of the Neapolitan army
has arrived there. A great number of Englifh
'tails appear off the coati, and fevm to watch
for an opportunity to land troops. It would be
no eafy matter for me to defcribe to you, Citizen
Minifter, the afloniftrinent of the Italians at !icing
fo many fine troops independently of the army of
Italy, and that of the Grifons. When we allure
them that a frefh corps is forming at Dijon, they
believe that all France is in arms. It is long fince
the Englifh have made a voyage to Italy. If they
do us the favour to difembark, the foldiers hope
foon to fend the moft of them to the Cagle of
Milan. The army of Italy purfues its fuccefes.

Citizen Miniftev—ln a preceding letter, I had
the honour to render you a fummary account of
, the operations of the army, down to the gth
inftant inclufive. Very fhortly you :hall receive
the details of all my operations; am at prefent
employed in drawing them up. I am anxious,
mean time, to inform you, Citizen Miniver, that
(refl. fucteffes have continued to fignalize, for
three fuccellive days, our march forwards; and,
at the moment I am writing to you, the artily oc-
cupies the following pofinons :—The left wing,
commanded by Lieutenant-General Moselle, has
its forward columneat Azalo, and conneets itfelf,
by its polls, with the centre, commanded by Ge-
neral SOCHRT! The advanced guard is eflablifh-
ed at Salvarofa: at its right is WATRIN'S divifion;
and on its left, the two divifions of the centre.—
The Corps de Referee is behind Caftel-Franco ;
the dragoons and the cavalry are alft3 polled in
the environs of that place. It was not without fur.
mounting many difficulties that we were enabled
to reach thefe pofitions. The left wing, by a
march equally well dire led, and promptly exe-
cuted, traverfed, in the (pace of eight days, 5301
miles, of a difficult and a frequently difputed road,
and at length arrived yeflerday, at Baffano, driv-
ing before them the enemy, from advantageous
pods, and taking front them 2,300 prifoners. The
hi heft praife is due, on this occafion, to General
KONCEY I the fkilfulnefs of his difpofitions is only
furpaffed by the promptitude and precifion with
which they were performed. The advanced guard
purfued the enemy without intermiffion, and was I
daily in anion with them.
On the toth,.before Arrncola, it had to fuftain
the attack of the major part of the Auftrian army,
who teemed refolved to oppofe its march. A brilk
anion enthed. During a great part of the day,
General BELLEGARDI was perfonally engaged.—,
The enemy, however, furrendered their pofitioni,
and we took soo prifoners. On onr fide we have
to regret the lofs of So men, wounded.
Yefterday, the t nth, the advanced guard pnr-
rued its march, and effectuated, without much dif-
ficulty, the palrage of the Brenta, before Fonta-
siva. The fmall degree of refinance it met with
at this point, is chiefly to be afcribed to the prompt
exertions of the artillery: it was direeted by Ge-
neral MAR MONT it threw the enemy into a pre-
cipitate flight, of which we took advantage to
purfue them ; too prifoners, and one piece of
cannon were the fruits of this purfuit. The ad-
pranced guard, commanded by General !dictum',
In the room of General Dstmes who is indifpofed,
was again warmly engaged this day, between Ci-
tadella aid Carrel Franco; the latter point was vigo-
rouflydifputed : it was carried, however, about four
o'clock, and the enemy was purfued as far as Sal-
varofa. The night alone checked our march, and
our attacks. On that occafion we mull have taken
at leaft Soo prifoners, and confiderably annoyed
the enemy. The ground between Caflel-Franco
and Salvarofa was Brewed over with the dead and
the wounded. I have not as yet been able, Citizen
Minifter, to afcertain our own lofs ; but I have
reafon to think that it is not confiderable. The
enemy is now encamped oppofite to us, on the plain
of Salvarofa : from his difpolitions it would ap-
pear that he expeas and prepares for an attack.—
The Commander in Chief; on his part, is making
his preparations ; and the troops Teem determined,
fhould the enemy attempt to wait their attack, to
mate him repent of his rafhnefs.
Such, Citizen Miller, is the fummary refult of
our lap operations. In the hurry in which we now
are, this is all we can, for the prefect, communi-
cate to you : my next will contain a continuation,
and, without delay, you (ball receive the details.
I have the honour to be, &c.
