The news of great success of the King of Naples
against the Austrians reaches us by Switzerland and
Frankfort. It has caused a lively sensation. It apr
pears that the King drew after him the Austrians,
who had the imprudence to divide into two columns,
of which one directed its march upon Itome, and
the other upon Ancona. The King, after having
collected his forces, marched upon the force which
formed the left column, commanded by Field.
Marshal Comte de Neipperg. The King of Naples
made 8000 prisonersound has taken 28 pieces of
cannon. One Field-Marshal has been wounded, as
well as four other Generals, of which it appears
many have been taken. Some letters state, that it
is Gen. Bianchi who has been wounded ; aocorditvg
to others it is Gen. Neipperg.
