Remarks on the Operations in Sscit-

From a LonJon n,ner A,c

From London paper, Aug All
The French have at leng h announced fome
advantages obtained by their army in Switzer.
land. From very low ftaie Of depfeilion, they
have become Immediately elated with ill-found
cd confidence, and natter themfelves with being
able to recall Fortune 70 their ftand,rds. Il IS
our duty to examine how tar theie hopes on the
one hand, and our fears on the other are well
grounded.
1t Is evident that the Frerch had rsfolved to
make at the fame moment an attack along the
whole line escaped by their troops, from the
mouth OF the AAr 10 the Genoe!e Aprsnpines
Matena was To attack in Swi zerland, Chamoo
net on the frontiers OF PIEDMONT, and Iaubcrt
on thoie OF the Itaie Of Genoa. II is even D
baole that Mahsna rem ined 70 long in Give,
notwithstanding his iuPerioiity over the Arch
Duke, only beeaufe he was waiting til the other
generals ihould be ready 10 fecond him. This
projected attack did in tatf, take place on the
fame day, a lealt in the principal points lou.

Champ met made himfelf m alter of fome pots
and Tome paiies, advantages which the poneion
| OF Turin by the allies renders of little irnpor
lance. Maiiena having under his orders the
ttrongelt army OF the republicans, and having
gainlt him the weakeA army of the allies, has had
that fucceis which NUT naturally refult from
a concerted attack, aided BY luperiori,y of
numbers. Among the contradictions and
maniiei exagerations of the French accounts,
the polilve tact which we can dilcover, and
which they agree in Rating is, that while the
centre Of the army of MdIena was attempting
in vain to oillodge the Archduke frcn hi. pot
before Zurich, his right, after three days en-
gagement, having been coniderably reinforced,
fucceeded in driving the Auitiians from the
canton OF Sehwtz, and from that part OF Uri,
in which St. Gothard is iituated and even in
penetrating as far as the Right Bark of the
lake OF Zuiich. On this location, as on all O.
theis, we cannot attigm thar the French have
not taken particular potts it it however rea
ionable, before we give credit to their accounts,
to wait for thofe of their enemies, Especially
wheo, as is at prelent the cafe, thofe of the fo
mer are only partially offic al.
We are confident that the campaign will
continue in the fame cGurie it has hitherto kept.
