A Courier has arrived and brought the news ot the taking of Milan. HEAD-QUARTERS AT PLAISANCE, 20th FLOREAL, MAY 9, 1796. Buonaparte, Commander in Chief of the army oj Italy, to the Executive Directory'. I have informed you, Citizen D!re£iors, by my last, of the retreat of the Austrian army, which had repaffed the Po at Valence. They ■vfre entrenched along by Logons, Terdoppio, jnd TV fin, with a view to defend the entrance of the Milanese. After different marches and movements, military and diplomatic, to induce a belief that I intended to pals the river at Valence, I pushed by a forced march to Caiiel St. Gioamer, ■with 3000 grenadiers and rooo horse. At n o’clock at night, the chief of battalion of artil krv, AdreofTy and adjutant-genmal Fontin, advancing with a hundred cavalry, along the bank of the Po to Plaifance, took 5 boats lad fn wJi ru*, fome officers, 500 lick men, and all the holpital (fores of the army. At nine in the morning we arrived at the L>. op polite to Plaifance; two squadrons of liiffars attempted to dispute our paifage—we threw ourfelvcs into L he boats and landed on the other fide—after a few niuiket fliots, the cavalry withdrew.. The chief of brigad", d? Lafne, as brave as intelligent, was the firft to step his foot on fniire Trie diviiions of the army, which v/er* tiltrib;A'd at different distances, hastened their marr b, the moment the movement was un tnsikcd, ar.d paiTed in the course of the day. In the mean time Beaulieu, informed of our march, was convinced, but too late, that he fortifications of Teflein and the redoubts of Pavia, were ulelefs ; that the French Republi cans were not as weak as Francis I. He or •ued (000 men. and 2000 cavalry to march to us to oppose our landing, or attack us. . or y wp had time to form—he failed in his calcinations. At noon I learnt that a division t'fth- enemy was near us—we marched—the Paemy had 20 pieces of cannon, and were en trenched in the village of Fombio. The Gen eral of brigade, Dallemagne, with the grena lr'rs, attacked on the right; th* adjutant-gen fra! Lannus, on the bank, and the chief o! bf'ipdr. I.afne, on the left. After a fever* cannonade ar.d a well sustained refinance, the “r-Ptny. founded a retreat.—We pursued them 1 Acida. They loft a part of th-ir bagga 330 horses, and 500 men killed or priibntrs, Vtth many ofhe-rs.

Another event no less important at the present moment and which will not fail to accelerßi” the rupture, is a battle which has just taken place oft the heights of Cape Jerc mie in the Antilles, between an American and Engliih veff-l in which a considerable number of men wmre killed on both sides, the Engliih ittemp'fd to board the American to linprefs fome of the faiiors.

The sth of this month (23d June) a division or fleet (une divif.on) making up that compliment, with thole that ac? comjjanied the commillaries, arrived at the port of the Cape. The news from b ranee is good—the enemies are defeat ed on every fide. “ The internal troubles of this colo ny, are finally at an end, as it refpedfs serious atarms ; the chief ot the revol ted are sent to France ; Vilate is efthe number ; and what is very happy for us is, that wc have been obliged to fpiil no more blood; Pardon on one fide, to thole who lay down their arms, and a formidable army, well organized, and ready to go again!! those who rclufe to do it, on the other ; these arc mealures which have happily Jucceeded. “ The Engliih in turn will now feel the impetuolity of the republican bayo nets, which had been diverted from their true objects by the interior commotions. Our attention will now foldy be fixed again!! the Engliih, who have them selves come t 6 awaken and unite us, by attacking fort Bompard, which guarded by a small national corps, was obliged to surrender after four hours refiltance. The attention of general Touflant was immediately drawn to this noint, and precautions arc taken to prevent this little advantage being of any eonfe quencc to the enemy, hy cutting off all communication. On the third we at tacked and took fort Plefis, which com municated with fort Bombard ar.d the Mole : in which affair 102 Engliih and impious emigrants who] defended it,and refufiig to sur render, were killed : we loft 30 men. “ ‘Hie culture of the plantations oi St. Dimingo already recommence • and if rhe enemies of our prelent public af fair.- do no* create new every circumstance inspires r.ew hopes of fu ture prosperity. ** I forget an anecdote whi'ch appear ed Angular to me : 15 of the Engliih cavalry, in a sortie from the Mole, bound to fort Bombard, fell in with one of our ambufeades (not knowing thc^ commu nication was cut off) and lcven of them were ieit dead on the field of battle ; a mong whom was found a woman with a mufkc: on her shoulder.” July sfi.
