Dec. 0. At a late hour laft night we receives! the Paris papers to the 6th inftant, the contents of which will be found under the Paris head The intelligence from the artny of Italy is Very important. The current of viddfy, it is with concern we remark, con tinues its rapid courfe in a favorable direc tion to the French caute. After the defeat of the Imperial Field Marfhal Alvinzy, Buonaparte proceeded to attack the army of Gen. Dividovich, which had forced the F rench lines that covered the blockade of Mantua, and advanced as far isQaftelno. vo On the 2 1 ft ult, he came up with this divlfion, which he fo vigoroufly attacked, that in a (hot t time the Aultruns retreated with precipitation in every direction, and were dolely puilued the whole of the night by (he enemy, above the Corona, and along the Adage. The rear guard of the mpe. rialilts fuffered very feverely i 1 1 00 pri loners, among whom was Count de Lher. bach, 4 pices of cannon, and 6 cations, fell into t be hands of the French The viclory is the more entitled to ferious attention, as it ferves to confirm Buonaparte's account of the recent defeat of Field Marfhal A! vm.y , which tnuft have been 0 a very decifive na. ture indeed, to have enabled the French General to narch uninterruptedly, to tbe attack of the other Aaittrian army , the -operation of which, it was the grand object of the Field Marfhal to obtain Buonapatte'f account has not yet been publifhed. The above if from Berthier, whole detaih have, on every occafion, been found to be written with much attention to accuracy ami truth. The capture of Mantua was reported at Paris in the yh inftant, but the rumour obtained noeredit. . fluke every window in Strafbourg. The engagtment has lafted fince 1 even o'clock this evening. It is the firft tnae that we .have had a night affair fo violent as this ap pears to be P Alt IS. December . The Ruffian forces under Gen. Subow, according to letters from Polnnd, have been defeated in an engagement with the Per fians. The former were compelled to retreat witfh the lofs of 10,000 men. Gen.

ARMY of IT ALTr Buonaparte, commanding ie Army of Italy, to Githttn, Carnot, Member of tlic Execu tive Directory. Head quarters at Verona, Bmmaire 29 , November totb) fifth year. The deft inies of Italy begin to brighten I Yet one victory to morrow, of which 1 have little doubt, and I hope before ten days are paft to wrte to you from head quarters at Mantua', Never was a field of battle fo much difputed as that of Areola. I have fcarcely ny more Generals : their devotednefs and courage are without example. The general of brigade Lafne came to the field of battle before he Was cured of the wound which he received at Oovernolo. was mounded twice early in the battle, At three in the afternoon he va ftretched upon his bed, and fmYerhig. When he learned that I was myfelf at the heajd of the column, he threw himfelf from his bed, mounted on hcrfeback and came to find me. Being obliged tore main on horfeback,he received, at the head of the bridge of Areola, a blow Which laid him fenfelefs. I afl'ue you that all this was neceflary to our "tonqtiering: the enemy were numerous and.exafperatedj the Gene rals' at their head, of whom we killed feve- rak - BUONAPARTE. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10. By an arrival from Bouideaux, dilpatches are recevied from Mr- Pinc,kney at Paris nothing of their contents had tranlpired. A letter is in town, dated Paris, Nov. 17, 1796, which mentions that a courier had been difpatched from thence, in order to negociate for a general iuipenfion of ho flilities ; the letter alfo mentions that it w exptited a profound peace would imrne diately enfue. Our late captives of the Algerines ar rived in this city on Wednesday, under an el'cort of lev era I hundreds of their fym- Eathetic fellow citizens of both fexrs, who ad gone to meet them on the road to town ; upon their reaching the Indian Pjieen tavern, the crowd was fo great as to render their pafiage difficult; and on then entering the houfe, an ardent acclamation exprefled the fatisfa&ion 'of the people at their happy delivery, and fate return. It appears that n captain and 14 ieamen of the reieafed captives, entered in an Ame rican fhipat Marfeilles, to goup the Mediter ranean on a trading voyage the remainder have arrived fafe excepting only the three that died foon after their releate, and before they had reached Marfeillet after they had performed quarantine at Marferiles, they went on fbere at that city, and had an allowance of 35 cents a day for each feamaa, 50 cents for each mate, and I to cents for each captain, to live upon ; and each perfon was (upplied with a fuit of wearing apparel by the Gonial of the U nited States. mm 1 4 STRASBOURG, Nor, 28.
