FIRST OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
" Head-quarters, Piadena, April 6, 1811.
" The King of Naples has violated our territory
with arms in his hands, and commenced hostilities
without any previous Declaration of War. At the
saute time that I acquaint the army with a conduct
so unworthy, and contrary to the law of nations, I
seize this opportunity of announcing also the first
successful military event.
" Lieutenant Field-Marshal Baron Bianthi thought
it due to the honour of our arms to engage with our
right wing. The action took place on the 4th inst.
on the line of retreat assigned him, en the Pamir°,
at the bridge before Modena. Upwards of '2OO pri-
scums, It much greater number of killed and wounded,
among the latter of whom was the Neapolitan Gene-
ral Fitangiero, mortally, were the honourable results
of this conflict.
,‘ May the army, proud of having confirmed its
military glory, consider this success as the prelude to
greater and more decisive victories.

SECOND BULLETIN.
VIINNA, APRIL SO.
The following Bulletin of the Army, respecting the
operations in Italy, has appeared :
A Courier, just arrived from Italy, brings the
following accounts from the head-quarters of Baron
Frimont, dated the 12th of April. The enemy re-
mewed his attack on the tete-de-pont of Occhio Bello,
on the Sth and 9th of April, with two strong divi-
sions, but was every time repulsed with considerable
loss. Baron Bianchi, who had been ordered to take
a positi"n before Burgoforte, between the Cavo -Ben-
tivogiio and the Po, but to harass the enemy as_
n uch as possible, attacked, on the 10th, in two co-
lonies, the enemy's post of Carpi, occupied by batta-
lions of the division of Carascosa. The action was
very obstinate, till at length the enemy abandoned
the ,own in a complete rout, in which twelve officers
and 500 men were taken prisoners. The loss on our
side is very tfifling.
" The enemy upon this abandoned Reggio, and re-
treated by Modena.
Lieutenant Field Marshal Baron Mohr has re-
te'ved orders :o advance from the tete-de-pont of
Occbto Bello, to clear the citadel of Ferrara of the
enemy. In the Grand Duchy of Tuscany the divi-
sions of Livron and Pignatelle proceeding along the
road from Cortona, had advanced to Florence. after
his Imperial fiigheess the Grand Duke bad retired
to Pisa. General Count Nugent, who was with his
corp:; at Pistons, learned that the enemy was directing
his march against him, for the purpose of driving him
from a position the more disadvantageous to the Nea.
reitan main army, as the arming ot the mountaineers
Was for wardeJ by his presence. He marched against
the enemy, waited for him in a favourable position,
routed and pursued him to the gates of Florence.
.4 Captain Radisits, of the Quarter.Master-Gene-
ral's Staff, with seven Lichtenstein buvars and 13
Tuscan dragoons. attacked the head of the enemy's
column, and tlirew it into complete disorder ; one
Colonel and 3'2 men belonging to the Guuds are
among the prisoners."
THIRD suLLErIN OF THE ARMY OF ITALY,
Vicuna, Aeiti It.
By a Courier who left the head-quaners of the
Army of Italy on the 14th, the following intelligence
ia just received :
It was indispmssibly necessary to clear from the
enemy the point of Ferrara, which was nut yet put
into a proper state of defence and provisioned. To
ibis. end, Norm Frimont ordered Lieutenant Field-
Marshal Mohr to push forward, from the true-de flout
of Occhio Bello, upoo !Lava* and casaglia, in order
to attack and drive of the enemy,
" This attack was made on the 12th, in the after-
noon, with great vigour by Mohr's division, while
Lieriredant Field Marshal Count Neipperg threatened
the flank of the enemy. The latter, though Am-
brosio's division had hastened to reinforce him, was
completely routed, all his works destroyed, and by
leis total retreat, which took place in the night of the
1341), Ferrara was fortunately delivered.
" Lieutenant Field Marshal Mohr pursued him itrl
all directions towards Bologna. The regiment of
Weid Runkel took one piece of cannon, with some
ammunition waggons; many prisoners tell* into our
lands, and the loss of the enemy in killed and
wounded was very conbiderable; among the latter is
General Ambrosio.
,4 On our part we have lost 150 killed and woun-
dA, among whom are several Officers. In '
lar we lament the misfortune of the brave Major
Ivanovich, of St. Julien's, who has lust a leg by
cannon ball. The Generalof
Cavalry highly com-
mends tie conduct of Lieutenant Field Marshal
Mohr, and likewise of General Baron Lauer, who
gallantly delended the unfinished citadel of Ferrara,
against two violent assaults.
46 General Count Nugent has repulsed several at-
tacks on the 10th and 11th at Pistoia, and took Irom
the enemy 40 prisoners.
" In the different actions up to this time 2,000
Neapolitan ptisoliers have been brought in.
The results of all the operations in Italy prove
that Merit has been obliged to relinquish the offen-
sive. Beaten at all points, he has retreated from the
banks ot the Po. His airily is demoralized; the
peace of Italy, *frith lie menaced, is secured; and
our army will be ready to attack him in a few days
with a superior force, whilst another corps is assem-
bling in the frontiers of Piedmont, for the purpose
of observing the South of France."
According to the latest accounts, the Neapolitans
had already left Bologna, and Ids Imperial highness
the. Archduke Francis, Duke of Modena, after an
absence of ten days, had returned, on the 13th, to his
c 66 Discontent and alarm (says the Giornale
Varz;" of tiie 14th) begin to pervade the Neap-
ti all tro, iv,. who themselves cruelly disappointed
in Ali hop‘s which they were latoAlit to ii.dulge.—
Desertion- increases daily among them, and the hen-
ribla ezeieises which they committed have rendered
them so odious to the inhabitants, that in many places
