FRANCE.

PARIS, NOV. SR.
Count PHILIP COIINTZIL, late Ambaffador of
the Emperor of Autiria, to his Imperial M jefiy the
Emperor of the French, paired through Nancy on
the t c•ft i.lfhtst, on his way to Germany.
M. DELA ROCHIFOUCAULT, the late Ambalfador
from France to Vienna, arrived on the 6th Novem-
ber at Ratifbon. It is fuppofed that he will fhortly
return to Paris.
In confirmation of the advices received of the diai-
fions in the Imperial Houle of Auftria, and of the
oppofition of the Archdukes to the afloat fyftem of
the Cabinet, under the Controul of the Emprcfs,
Ruffia, and England, we are pofitively effused, that
the Archduke CHARLES was not, before the agth of
Oltober, invited to return to Vienna. The Court
waited, until the left moment, to recal this Prince to
tie Alliance of the capital; and while it had the
fmalleit hopes of fuccefs in Germany, it never ceafed
to weaken the Archduke, and to give him up, if we
may ufe the phrafe, to his courage, and the affeaion
of his army. We are as yet unacquainted with the
refolution taken by his Royal Highoefs, upon the
tardy invitation he had received.
Nov. s 3 know to a certainty, that the head.
quarters of Martha' MASSENA were at Udine, and
that the pafrage of the Piave and the Tagliamento
was not difpnted. The army of the Archduke
CHARLES is retreating in diforder, and has not at-
tempted to defend one polition, fince the affair at
Caldiero, and the station at Vicenza. A number of
Anftiian deferters arrive every day; they are in the
moll deplorable Rate, half-flarved, lick, and com- '
pletely brcken down. Although this intelligence is
perfettly confirmed, we do not give is as official.--
Until Ibis day, the Bidletin.r of the army have been pat/bed
in the konitestr, and peed in the Capita!, by order of Go-
vernment. It it only from thefe that we can difcover
their authenticity.—(Gazette de Frans, Nov. 23.)
We are kill without any intelligence from the
Grand Army, fince the Bulletin. from Moelk, of the
tgth Brumaire (November to.) We cannot attri-
bute this delay, in the fubfequent Bulletins, to any
thing elle than the rapid fucceffion of the important
events, which the march of the army to the Capital
of Auntie mutt have produced. In the mean time,
the intelligence from the Grand Army has been anti-
cipated by that of the Army of Italy, received yef-
terday, to the 22d Bt umaire, or 13th November. A
frelb Bulletin of the tall army, brought with extra-
ordinary rapidity to this Capital, from alma the very
extremity of the former Venetian Continent, an-
nounces the continuance of the very important ad-
vantages gained by Marshal Masses* over the Arch-
duke CHARLES. The march of the Marfhal. from
the Brenta to the Piave, was only übltruaed for a
fhort time ; and even the palrage of this laft River
was effected very eafily. It was the fame with the
further march of the French army to the banks of the
river Tagliamento, behind which only Prince C MARL s
attempted to make ferious refinance. There was
here, on the 12th November, a (harp anion between
both parties, and a brifk cannonade from one bank
to the other. The fate of battle, however, declared
this time once more againfi the Auftrian army,which,
in the night, retreated from the Tagliamento to
Palma Nuova. The French troops werot therefore,
enabled to pars that River on the next day (the pal!
fage of which they had prepared to force), and to
continue to march in purfuit of the enemy. The
following is the official account of thefe events :
SIXTH BULLETIN OF THE ARMY OF ITALY.

" lowa, at the Tag!lament° that the enemy appeared inclined
to wait for us. They bad affembled, on the left bank, fix regi-
ments of cavalry and four regiments of infantry ; and their firm
front led us to fuppefe, that they were determined to obilinately
difpute thk_patag- of the River with us. The Commander in
Chief at fiilt only intended to reconnoitre their pofition with the
cavalry. The divifion of chaffeurs commanded by Central
pagne, that of dragoons and cuiraffiers, under the orders of Ge-
neral* Mermet and Puny, were ported on the River; while the
divifions of Dutiefme and Sens marched by St. Vito; and chore of
Generals Molitor and Gardanne, took the diredion of Valyafone.
General D'Efpagne had received orders to pulk forward his pa-
-4 troles. On the lath November, a fquadrvn, which he had or-
' dered to crofs th.: River, was charged by a regiment of AdtriAll3
cavalry; it bravely fupported the attack, and gave time to Ge-
neral D'Efpagne to advance upon the enemy, who were foon re-
pulled, and obliged to fiy. Our artillery, neverthelefs, took its
pnbdon; the cannonade began from both fide] of the River; it
was very brilk, a..d continued during the whole day. The ene-
my had placed thirty pieces of cannon behind a bank ; we had
only eighteen ; and our artillery preferved their ufual fuperiority.
The divifions of i. fautry arrived in the evening. The Commander
in Chief, fathfied with the advantages be bad obtained,and which
fecured to him others, did not think proper to effea the paffage
of the River. lie contented hintfelf with making his difpofitlons
for the net day, convinced that he could then atchieve fomething
more decifive. The divilions cock their appointed pofitions at St.
Vito and Vairafune ; it was at thole two points that they were
to pats the Riser. turn and cut off the enemy. Prince Charles, no
doubt, was arririiiive of this intention ; he did not think pro-
per to remain th..• day in hit pofition, and at mid•uight he began
to retreat by the Road to Palma Nuova.
" The army paife,i the 'Pagliamento, with the regret that there
wart no enemy to engage; aid it was then that it became better
acquainted with the rank of the preceding day. The left bank of
the `.titer was coveted with met and holies, which were Selteuyeel

“ 'the army continues its march; the hope of meeting and en.
gaging the enemy inereafes their impatient ardour. They arc ac-
quainted with ail that has been done by the Grand Army ; and the
defire to fecood its movement, and to meet the confidence of the
Eni7eror, agitate. and continually fpurs them on. The advanced

natutur of thole we have shady made. The Widget over the
Piave. and Taglidniento are repairing."
