FOREIGN NEWS. LAUSAVMK, June i. On the* i Brh of May, Mr. X.e Breaux, a native of Bruffcls jwrd ?2 and firfl lieutenant of Kinfley's regiment of infantry, who was ftalloned with that corps near Adiarcio, on fhc mountains of Sefi>», fet out on a reconnoitring expedition, af the headof adetachment of forty men. He direfted his courfe towards the valley of Aorta, in orde* to difeover whether there was anv truth in the rumours relative to M'e intended tnvafion of the French It had been cirrulated in the Auflrian army army that Buonanarfc was to penetrate dire£llv into Pied mont, by the Great St. Bernard, but the report was not credited, as the feafon was fo unfavoura ble to the attempt, and the fnow fo deep that this route was thought altogether impra&ira ble. After a very difficult march of the five days, thro* rugged paths and over fiighrful preci pices, lieuf. I e R’eux, found himlrlfonthe 23d of May. be tween five and fix in the even ing, on the rapid didivity of a mountain, which he defeendrd by a Terpentine foot path, intend* ing to proceed to Chatillon by the village of St. Vincent. Here be was fuddenly Oruck with the appearance of five French Ge nerals, and two guides, not more than fix paces from him, all crawling down the mountain and leading their horfe*, with the exception of one, in a grey coat, and gold laced hat, without a leader, who remained on horfeback, and advanced at their bead. The Auftiian foldiers pre fented their pieces the moment they obferved the French offi cers ; but their lieutenant or dered them not to fire, preferinp as he faid, the opportunity of carrying furh a great and glo rions p ize in fafety to the head quarters of his corps. The ge neral in the grey coat no fooner obfeived them than he exclaim ed*—See the Auftrians—there are Auffrians here!” The two guides at the fame time pointed their carabines and called out, •• who is there ?’* But the French general ordered them not to fire, and addreffing himfelf to the young Auftiian officers, afleed “ Who arc you ? what are you about here ? where do you come from? whatis the ftrength of your detachment ? what is the name of your regiment ? what is your general's name ? where is your corps ported, &c. ? and feveral other quef tions, to which the lieutenant replied as he thought proper. This converfation, which Lift ed about half an hour, w as more than once interrupted by the Auflrian foldiers, who afked thefe foldiers, whether they ffiould not carry off their prize. But the general in the grey coat, in whom the reader will perhaps, ere now, have recognized Buo naparte, faid to the Auflrian officer.-—'* Hitbnto, Sir, you have rnnfidered me ycurprifon {<cr; you, however, arc tmae; lot dc rot be Ke'ry uneafy, 1 fhall take care of you and your followers. At this moment lieutenant I e Breux perceived that be was funounded by French Grenadiers. The flrrt conful defired him to retain his arms, and faid to birr—-“ To night you (ball fup with me at Chatillon, and to morrow you fhall dine with me in the city of Aofta.” This actu ally took place. The officer, in relating the ftory, obferved that Buonaparte was extremely ab rtemious, and that he remained a very fhort time at table. After dinner the fi: ft conful took him into a private apartment, where he convcrfed with him during a quarter of an hour, on the force and pofitions of the Auffrians. At parting, the lieutenant affeed permiflion to return home on his parole—** 1 had already de termined to fet you at liberty, without requiring that you rtiould be exchanged," faid Buo naparte, He immediately made his aid-de-camp Duroc, give him a paflport for Paris, and another for one of his foldiers to attend him as a fervant. He alfo gave him a letter to the Minflcr of Police. He arnv cd here on the 29th of May. BERLIN, June 17.
