Guylai had informed the Austrian Gov ernment that the provisions were beginning to fail in Piedmont, and that he could not main tain his position more than fifteen days. Four Russian Corps d'Armee have moved to- ward the Austrian frontier. French fleet was before Venice, and had already captured twenty vessels.

Ships laden with stores are ready to be sunk instantaneously so as to close up the remaining passage. Guns of heavy calibre were in position to command these obstructed channels. The French con template blockadng, not attacking Venice for the present.
