The general in chief has anfwcreda flag of truce fent by the enemy, that while he had an ounce of bread, aud a drop of blood in bis veins, he would fight; and that he would fooner bury himfelf in the rums of the city, than abandon Genoa to the enemy.

More than 2000 men have been made prifoners, and a great number of dead are left on the field of battle." SCI! AFHAUS EN, MAY Q. The battle of the 15th (May 5) fought before Stockach, was tenible. Moreau had four hor fes killed under him. Lacourbe was near him made prifoner; two of his guides were killed by his fide. The French army was obliged to fall baT for a moment; it was then that Mo reau at the head of a heavy corps of \cavahy, precipitated himfclf upon the enemy, and at once arretted his progrefs. Kcf toring the courage of his fol diers by his prcfence and exam ple, he made them charge the enemy anew within the wood on the other fide of Stockach. Gen. Kray loft 13 or !4,ooomen. This battle can only be compar ed with that of Flcurus for the fury with which the two armies difputed the ground.
