Sir JOHN ti W PORT wished to be informed,
whether there was any reason for omitting to lay

account of the Population of Ireland?

" According to all the intelligence received from
the right of the Po, the General of Division Grenier,
had marched from Reggio, by Gustalla on Borgo-
forte, in order to pass to the left of that river, and
immediately effect his junction with the Viceroy.
This circumstance determined the King of Naples to
divide the attention of the Viceroy, by drawing him
towards himself. He took a position between Reg-
gio and Rubiera, and caused the division of Seeerili,
4000 strong, to be attacked, is order to hies him
back on Parma.

The King, accordingly, on the 6th, reinforced
the Austrian advanced-guard, Which was posted un-
der the command of General Count Stahremberg,
near Rubiera, by a regiment of iufantry, and a strong
division of Neapolitan cavalry, while he ordered
Caroscoa's division to advance from Modena on Reg-
gio, to sustain the advaheint-guard.
" His Majesty ordered all these troops to defile in
columns on the great road from Rubiera to Reggio.

was pursued to Masora; 6OO of his reer-guard were
made prisoners, two battalions were diaporsed, and
prisoners are every instaut brought in.
