General Eerthiers report OF the lots OF the AUf-
trians, in all the different actions, is confirmed by
an official message TENT TO the council Of Five H,n-
dred, on the a6ih ult. 6gned by B4rras in which
he lates that they loft 5000 men killed wounded,
and Il 900 men in pritoners, among whom
Generals Proyera, Spork, and Hohengollern, S %
loueis, 10 majors 81 captains. 70 lieutenants, 40
iecond heutenants, and 80 enlgps all the battaii-
ons of the volunteers of Vienna 90 pieces Of can
non, and IL ltands of colours beides all the bag
gage OF the Auitran army, regiment Of Hulssfs,
and all the convoy OF grain and cattle which was in.
tended TO be thrown into Mantua
Such are the official accounts of the Republican
Generals, and they are clearly 60 very crcumitsn-
tial, to admit doubt of their authenticity.
1t is however ngular that they do not contain any
intelligence of the itate Of the garrfon of Mantrs,
though the Directory, in its melsafe This iuEe
exercises confidence that the place mutt be redu-
ced.
Men who are converfant in military affairs, al
low that General A!vinzis dnpoiilons were not on
ly combined in mott jadlcious manner, but fuch
fhouid have enIursd him iuccefs. IL is iuppoied
that fome of bis officers commu,''esfst5s plans to
the enemy and this is tie more pf8oable Buo-
naParte acknowledges that be was in poseeiop of
them i; though ~ prevent lutpcion, he attributes
this knowledge &c his having intercepted lone iet-
Of tb- Autran generals
ln conG erine the relation which this unexpected
event bears the important object ofpeace, it
red in the Council Of Elders, that it is held to
The Republic opportunity Of concluding with the
Emperor a iult and honorable peace, by The means
OF mpsniaions luiceoi for he iecurity of iber-
~. IL is ALTO ltated, with fonle Confluence, thar
lately after the arrival Of the ttciai reports
rom the army of Italy, courier was djipatehed
Vienna renew proportions for treaty.
Such meaure mutt certainly originate from the
with of ,he Directory preierve Belgium, by giv
ing up the Emperor his italian dominons and
from their eageroeis TO carry their faVorte project
into execution it is evident that tier object is to
make partial peace with Antria, and to direct .hc
united efforts Of the Republic again(t Great Britain
There can, however, appear litns probability OF
IFS being attended with iucees, when We r,aec
that the Emperor rejected with vlrtuous indienati
on, all proportions of the fame nature, the very
moment when the enemy was in the bearf of MS
nire, and that he has already tbewn to Europe his
firm conviction, that nothing ef-ctu#lly iecure
he public tranquility but general pacaca.ion.
Late Taft night we received by exprsfs the Paris
GAzettes the ra init. inclufiVe which confirm
the preceding accounts of the Wet ories eaeed by
