The city of Hamburgh having fatisfied our wilbes, by
delivering up to the EngUffi minifler resident at that place
the Irifii rebel Napper Tandy and bis companions, and by
fending away those Frenchmen of suspicious character who
were in that city, has consequently merited the return of
our good will. We therefore forget the pall, and direst
that every communication with the town of Hamburgh be
reestablished on the former footing.

Paris, November 27. Buonaparte, on the sth Bru
maire, had a meeting at his apartment of the bankers and
principal merchants of Paris, to the number of about 70;
he addressed them in an extemporaneous speech, in which
he pointed out the urgent wants under which the govern
ment labored, and infilled on the claims which he ought to
have, and which already he had obtained on the public
confidence; and threw out hints of the Ipeedy return of a
glorious and equitable peace; be also assured them that the
reign of robbers and plunderers was no more,, and that
thole who had property Ihould no longer be despoiled by
those who had none; he also afiured them that intrigue
Ihould no longer supply the place of talents and leaning,
but that, in order to accomplilh the filutary objedts he al
luded to, the public treasury was under the neeeflity of
calling on commercial men for an advance of money till
such time as the new contributions Ihould come in-
In consequence of this addrels the bankers and principal
merchants immediately voted by acclamation a loan of 12
millions of livres, which was inllantly filled up.

that the Chouans were in great force in the department of
Finifterre, and the adjacent country, formerly the province
of Normandy. The infurgeUts are said to be no less than
20,000 (lrang. Having been supplied with considerable
sums of money and quintllles of arms from this country,
they had made fome formidable movements, yjind.pbtained
poffefiion of Quimper, a large town,’ about 30 miles south
east of Brest, where they released all their associates who
w ?re confined in prison. In o'rder to oppose the career of
this formidable body tvoops were marched from different
quarters, and tbe garrison of Bieftjras immediately drawri
out, and feimen landed from the flaps in. the harbor to do
duty in their absence. ‘
Ihe following dispatches have been received at lord
Grenvilk’s office from'lend William Bentinck.
Headquarters Montenaux, Oclobcr 26, 1799,
r-My lord?— *l have the honor to inform your
that a report was this morning received by gen. Melas
from gen. Karaczai, (who commanded a corps of 6000
men near Novi, to observe the chief debouche from Genoa)
flaring that he had been attacked by very superior numbers
of the enemy, and, after a very feverc engagement, had
been obliged to retire with considerable lois to Alexandria,
where he had taken up a petition behind the Bormio. ; Gen.
Kray marched this morning with a considerable reinforce
ment, and I hope will arrive time enough to prevent the
enemy from making any furtlier progress. A refoludon
hr? bjeen. taken on the part of the commander in chief in.
mediately t 6 embody the Pitdmontefe army; these troops
are to be placed in every refpedl upon their ancient footing;
f they are to take the oath of fidelity to the king zf Sardinia
only, and are in no manner whatever to be made fubjeft
to Auflrian difeipline. The Piedmontefe troorft t;hat are
employed have behaved upon all occasions in the mod gal
lant and honorable manner. Vafl numbers of deserters
come in daily, who all deferibe the diftiefs of the entmy,
for want of provisions, to be extreme.
Headquarters Centalo, November 6, 1799.
My Lord, —ln my last letter I had the honor to acquaint
your lord (hip that, in consequence of information having
been received that a large detachment of the enemy was
coming from the fide of Savoy, the army made a move
ment to its right. The French having taken Pignerol and
and having advanced to Salucco, threatening our
communication with Turin, gen. Melas thought it neces
sary to march dill farther to his right, and a camp was
chosen between Bra and Foffano. These operations, when
connected with the fvfiem of defence niv, upon which
this army had so long been afling, deceived the French
into a belief that the Austrians were in full retreat. The
evacuation of Mondovi, ‘which was determined upon for
the purpose of adding a very considerable force to the ar
my, confirmed dill more this opinion. Elated with ihefe
hopes, they advanced on all points, and on the 3d took
possession of Savigliano.
On the 4th the enemy marched in three to at
tack the Andrian army. The fiift column marched from
Savigliano by Marenne, the fecund by Genola, and the
third marched to the attack of Foffano, which had been
put in a (late of defence, and was occupied by a consider
able garrifen. It happened that the Auflrian army moved
with the fame intent at the fame time, and in the fame
number of columns, and upon the fame roads. Lieut,
gen. Ott commanded the right column, lieut. gtn. Elfnitz
the centre, and major gen. Gotterfheim the left. The two
armies met at Marenne and at Gencla. It was not till
after a very severe engagement that gen. Ott obliged the
enemy to fall back from Marenne; a part retired to Gen
ola, and a part to Savigliona. Gen. Ott pursued the en
emy to the latter place, where he took three cannon and
above 2000 priforiers. The column of gen. Elfnitz, <hat
was destined for the attack of Genola, met with a more
formidable refiflance. Ihe aiftion laded forfevcral hours,
and it was net till the arrival of the column of gen. Ott
from Savigliona upon the rear of the French that vifiory
declared in favor es the Austrians. The two columns im
mediately proceeded in pursuit of the enemy; gen. Ott by
Villa Falette, gen. FJfnitz by Valdigi. The army halted
at night at Centalo. The column of gen. Gotterlheim
repulsed the French from Foffano to I.lnrazzo. It will
appear surprising that, while our army \\rs at Centalo, a
division ot the French army remained between Murazzo
and Ronchi, with the Stura in their rear, over which
there was no bridge.
Early in the morning of the sth the army marched in
two columns to Ronchi and Murazza. The enemy, sur
prised, made no resistance, and 200 prisoners were taken
without any loss. It appears that the French army was
completely defeated, and that this division was left there
without orders. The Austrians have made in the twu
days above 3000 prisoners. The army being extremely
fatigued remained at Ronchi; but this morning gen. MeJ
las, having to follow up his success with the
greatefl vigor, the army marched in two columns, one
upon the intrenched camp of the Madona del Almo, and
the other upon Cafaglia; the enemy retreated every where
upon their approach; it is reported that the French are re
tiring over the mountains.
It is impoflible to do justice to the valor and persever
ance of the Austrian army. The operations of the army
prior and subsequent to this affair, when considered in a
military point of view, entitle the commander in chief to
the admiration of the whole world.
Accounts were received yesterday from gen. Kray that
he had attacked the enemy near Alexandria,-and obliged
them to retire to Ponzolo Fofmigio, with the loss of 1000
prisoners.
I have the honor to be, &c.
W. Bentiwck.
December 4. Suwarrow, in a letter to his sovereign,
complains of the Austrian ‘gtn; Melas as deceiving him,
witforefpeil to a supply of mules to draw his artillery and
b a SS a g e > whereby he was prevented from arriving in Swit
zerland in season to prevent the recent disasters. He also
fays, he was promised the archduke should not leave Swit
zerland till the French were driven out of that country. Se
rious differences, havt, therefore, occurred between the
Austrian and Ruffian courts, and the latter has ordered the
return of its troops, and they have a&ually begun their
retrograde march. The Austrians persuaded Suwarrow to
remain, after the firft receipt of orders to return, in hopes
of a favorable change in the mind of the emperor of Russia;
but by his moving homeward since it appears those orders
were repeated, and perhaps were peremptory.
Suwarrow is appointed generalifl.mo of all the Ruffian
troops, tbe highest military rank in the gift of the emperor.

December 6. The Hamburgh mail which became due

theatre of the war in Italy with which we were not partly
