Kiel, APRIL 30.
The fortrefs of Savona has
been fuppHed with provifions.
The enemy has yet attempted to
carry it by (form. It has a nu
merous artillery; an immenfe
quantity or warlike ftorcs ; an
excellent fyflem of fortifications,
and a refolutc garrifon; all of
which enable the commander
of that place to make the moll
vigorous rcfiHance. The plan
of the Aullrians appears to be to
reduce it by famine •; but thefe
hopes will be unavailing. The
provifions which lieutenant ge
neral Suchet has caufed to be
collc&cd are fent there daily;
and the fubfequent letter ad
dreCTcd by the commander of
that place, cannot fail to confirm
the general opinion which has
been circulated to the honor of
the French name :
Lieutenant-General Suchet , com
mander of the centre , to the gen .
of brigade Buget, commander of
the fort of Savona .

Soldiers —You have been ap
pointed to defend the fortrefs
of Savona, You have pri
vations to experience, and fa
tigues to endure, but fupport
them with all firmnefs—*The
two corps of the army of Italy,
although feparated, have beaten
the enemy on more than one oc
casion ; already have they taken
from him 10,000 pnfoners, 300
officers, 8 ftandards, and killed
or wounded upwards of 5,000.
Buonaparte watches over the
deftinies of the armies, and will
bring them triumphant out of
the prefent ftruggle. Conllan

comrades. I fhall (end you all
the provifions I can ; and the
time, perhaps, is not far diftant
when I may hope to felicitate
you on your frrmntTs, your
courage, and the mifehief you
have done the enemy.

Citizen Conful—The news
which I have received from the
army, dated the 3d, informs me,
that the general in chief, Maffe
na, defends himfclf like a Lyon
at Genoa ; that the enemy dare
not block him up, except by dif
tant pofitions. He has made a
fortie and killed 800 Auftrians,
and made 1200 prifoners. Five
fhips laden with grain have ar
rived at Genoa, and other vef
fcls laden with grain are daily
arriving there. 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. The Ligurians
perform wonders, and fight with
bravery. General Delaix, citi
zen Ponffiielguc, and
of the irmy of Egyt have arriv
ed at the Lazaretto of Toulon.

Huninguen, May 16.
" The right wing command
ed by general Lecourbe, attack
ed the enemy an the nth, in
the pdfuion at Mcmmingcn.
They have been completely
beaten. 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.
It is afferfed that the prince
of Wirtimberg was made priTo
ner, and that the entire emigrant
fcgiment of Bachmann was
taken.
