Citizen Dircftors, ‘
After the battle of Lody. Beaulieu crossed
the Oglio, and the Minico; he inclined his
right to the I.ake of Garda, his left on Mantua,
and ereftrd batteries on all the angles of this
,n . e \ *’* c ’ r der to defend the paifage of the
Minico. Head Quarters were eflablifhed on
j . ,9 th at Crelcia. I ordered the general of
♦ tvifion, Kilmaitie, to march with 1500 cav
alry, and fix battalions of grenadiers, to Dc
finzanno, and general Rules with a half brig
ade ol light infantry to Lalo My intention
•was to induce Beaulieu to believe that I want
ed to turn his flank by the upper part of the
lake to cut off the road of the Tyrol on the
fide of Riva. I Rent all the divilioiw of the
army in the rear, intomuch that my right with
which I really meant to attac k him, was only
one day and a half’s march from the enemy.
I then ulaccd the army behind the river Che-
Mifa, where it appeared tobeonthe defenfivc,
xvhilff general Kilmainc advanced to the ports

Columbian jHufeunt,
defended the approach of Borghetto Our
cavalry, on a flow trot flanked and followed by
our carabiueeis and grenadiers, charged them
with much bravery, put the enemy’s cavalry
in diforrier, and took from them a piece of ar
tillery. The enemy then eroded the bridge,
drmolifhing one of its arches. The light ar
tillery immediately engaged. We were en
deavoring, with much difficulty, to ni'nd the
bridge under the fire of the enemy’s batteries,
when about 50 grenadiers, with general Gar
drnnr, (a grenadier in courage a s well as height)
at their head, threw themfclves into the river,
the water being up to their chins, holding their
muskets over th'ir heads. The enemy brli-v
----ing they saw the dreadful column that attacked
them at the bridge of Lody, flew. The hr’ dge
was mended with case ; our grenadiers iu
ftantly palled the Mfiiico, and poffetTed the.n
felves of Valleggio, the bead quarter of Beau
lieu, who had juff left it.
However, the enemy, daggered and partly
routed, were driven up in ord'r of baltl-t, be
tween Valleggio and Villa Franca, but we took
good (.are not to follow them. Th-y app-ar
ed to rally, and their batteries were increaf-d
and moved towards ns. This w.is exaftly
what I wished. I had much ado to restrain
the impatience, or rather the fury of the grena
diers.
In the mean time Gen-ral Ang-rau'eroded
the Minico—he had orders to move towards
Pefchiera, following the banks of the river,
and cut off the part's of the Tyrol from the
enemy. Beaulieu, and the wreck of his army,
would then have been completely furrounder
without a poflibility of retreating. In order
to prevent the enemy Irom perceiving the
movement of Gen. Angerau, I can fed them
to- be vigorously cannonaded from Valeggo ;
hut being inrtrlifted by their patrolesof Gen.
Angerau’s march, the enemy fil-d towards the
road to Caftelnuova. A reinforcement of cav
alry joined them at the fame time, and enabled
them to protest their retreat. Our cavalry,
commanded by Gen. Murat, did wonders ;
this general dilcngaged several of our light in
fantry, whom the enemy were about making
prisoners. The chief of brigade has equally
diftinguilhed himfclf. Gen. Angerau arrived
at Pefchiera, found the place evacuated bv the
enemy.
On thr 12th at break of day, we marched to
Rivoli. but the enemy had already crossed the
AdigeO, and broken down almost all the bridg
es. The lols of the enemy on this day, is com
puted at 11300 men, and 900 horse, killed and
taken prisoners. Among the latter is Prince
dr Contio, lieut. gen. of the armies of the king
of Naples, and commander in chief of the
Neapolitan cavalry. We have also taken five
pieces of cannon, two twelve and three fix
pounders, and seven or eight covered waggons,
loaded‘with military flores. We found maga
zines at CafUrnuova, of which-a part was con
-1 timed by fire. General of division, Kilmame,
had a horse wounded under him.
Thus are the Aullrians totally expellr.d Ita
ly: Our advanced ports aie on-the mountains
•>f Germany. I will not mention the men
who distinguished themfclves by their bravery ;
to do this it would be necessary to name every
grenadier and carabineer of the van-guard ;
they defy and laugh at death ; they are now
well ufea to meet cavalry which they despise ;
nothing equals their courage, unless it is the
gaiety with which they undergo repeated
‘ need march's ; they fmg alternately their
ountryand the god of love. You would na
turally suppose, that arrived at the places defli
ned tor their re it, they would at least leek to
•■ipoy ionic repoie ; but, no ; they amuse
Jieinfelves by furmiiing and planning the ope
rations of the next, and forne of them often
think very jurtly. The other dav, whilrt fee
ing a halt brigade filing oit, a light infantry
man approached me and laid, “ General, we
mull do io and so.” “ bir, cried I, will you be
iilent ?” and he inftaatly disappeared. I have
iince to find him, (sot what he
hinted was exaftly what I had ordered) but I
fought in vum.

for a fufpennon of arms. The last are the sen

holiness has issued an edift forbidding any em

immediately had a long audience with the

We are apprehensive of feeing England soon

The objefts which have engaged your atten

peculiar importance, and the mrafures which
you have adopted have manitefted your con

The happiest effefts have been experienced
from the provisions which yon have- made for

The difficulties arising to my fuhjefts from
the high price of corn, have formed a princi

proved your anxious desire to omit nothing
which could tend to the relief of my people iu
a matter of such general concern.
I have the greaielt latisfaftion in observing
that the preifure of those difficulties is now in a
great d'gree removed.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
I mull in a more particular manner return
you my trunks fur the liberal fupplics which
you have granted to meet the exigencies of the
War While I regret the extent of those de

obirrve the encreafmg resources by which the
country is enabled to (upport them.
Thefc refouTces are particularly manilefted
in the ftatcoftfie different brauches of th~ Re
venue, in the continued and progreflive cx
tention of our Navigation and Commerce, in
the steps which have beentakenfor maintaining
and improving the public credit, and in the ad

reduction of the National Debt.
My L oris, ar.i Gentlemen ,
I shall ever retleft with heart-felt fatisfaftion

which have appeared in all your ptococding.
