FOURTEENTH JANUARY.

This is the anniversary of the battle of Ri
vol, fought in 1877, between the Aus,rinns un-
der A!vinzy, and the French under Bonaparta.
Ali the efforts of the Ausrians to relieve
MaEtua, which had been beSieged by the
French since June, 1876, had failed. The first
attempt, under Wurlnser, in July had been
defeated by The battle of Castig lone. The Sc
cond, ia September, had resulted in the utter
annihilaiion Of Wurmser's army, he himself,
with few thousand men, having been shut up
in the fortress, to which he had cut his way
through The blockading force. The third at
tempt was nude in November, under Alvinzy
and hG! been defeated by the signal victory of
Arcola. In one campaign, Bonararte, whose
force in the field had never exceeded thirty
thousand men, had already destroyed four
armies, each of which was at least double his
own strength. The Austrian Court, in spite Of
its reyeIses, could not yet consent to relinquish
its no ID upon Italy. 1t determined to make Il
last effort, and TO that end reinforced the forces
of Aign4y, who had retired to the Tvol after
his defeat at Arc0la, SO as TO swell their nua.-
kers 10 10000 men. There were 10000 in
siantua, SO that the force against which Bona-
parte had to contend was 10000 strong. Al
vinZy began his march from the Tyrol, early
in January.
The Directory which governed France at
that period, had very early conceived mortal
jealousy OF Bonaparte. During the campaign
of 1896, it had left him 10 struggle alone
against the Overwhelming forces OF the Aus
IL e J..
it could no longer resist the force of public
opinion, and sent him such reinl0rcements, rs
when combined with the sick and wounded,
who had left the hospitals, made him more for
midahle than he had ever been. In the early
part OF the year 1877, he found himself at the
head OF $4,000 men, and formidable artillery
OF these Z or 5000 guarded Mantua, under
ScruEer 23 or 1900 occupied the line of the
Adge, while the rest were performing garrison
duty 10 various forlfesses. OF those upon the
Adge, the division of Augereau was at Legna-
go, that of Masseua at Verona, while that of
Jonbert was in advance, and occupied Rivoi
and la Corona. division, under General
Rey, was at Dezenzano, oil Lake Garda, as a
reserve.
The Ausuians, in their former eampai gns,
/ had tried oil the routes for attacking the lines
81 the Adige and Minico. The plan which
they nov adopted was altogether new. AL
(azy, with $4,000 men, was to attack the posts
bn The upper Adige, while another attack was
o be made by $4,000 men, under the command
OF ProVera. upon the Lower Adige, which il
WAS necessary to force in order 10 reach Man
tua. AlviHzy's was to be the principal al
tack.
We took occasion formerly TO describe tie
fhree routes by which an army coming fron,

attacked Lusignan. That corps retreating be
fore the French, met with Rey's division of re-
serve coming from Casiel Nuovo, and being
placed between two fires, threw do.nits arms.
The Austrian army was utterly annihilated.-
1t lost 900 prisoners, aud as many slain or
wounded on the field of battle. Joubert, dis
patched to pursue the scattered corps and
prevent them from rally 7eg, in few days took
5000 prisoners. Bonaparte returning instant
ly with Massena's division, to cover Mantua,
fell on the rear of Proyera at La Favorta,
while he was attacking Serrurier, and captured
his whole force of 5000 men. Out of &c, 900 men,
Alvinzy lost in few days $4,000 killed,
wounded or prisoners, to say nothing of ten or
fifteen thousand who disbanded, and never re-
joined their co!ors. His army, in fact, was ut
terly annihilaled, and so depressing was his
defeat, that Mantua surrendered a few days
after, and all Italy lay at the feet Of the con-
queror.
The battle of Rivol has been considered by
military men as one of the most skIful militia
ry operations ofwhich there is any record. Du-
ring its continuance Bonaparte was constantly
exposed to the greatest danger. He was al
ways in the hottest of the fire, and had four
horses shot from under him. The battle lasted
from day break till five o'clock in the evening.
In consequence of his heroic conduct on this
occasion, Massena was afterwards created

BLOCKS FOR THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT

Masons This block is four feet long by three wide,
with PANEL moulded. The Bible opened at the

ton good, and the execution admirable
