For a long time paft no officii, accounts
have been publifhed refpectmg the armies,
although they axe neither inactive near Kehl
nor iu Ita'y.
One of our public prims ftates the report
without affirming it, that the Auftrianshave
abandoned their entrenchments before Kehl ;
and another paper ftates on the strength of .
a letter from Milan ot the rth infiant, that
our army in Italyhas experienced a check
near Padua, and that the blockade ot Man.
tua is raited.
Accounts of this complexion, which are
now fpreadfor the fenth time, are extreme
Iv fufpicious. But if it fhould be true, that
Buonaparte, as we Underftand, is at this
time at Milan, arid has publifhed a procla
mation, senjoining to all the clergy and no

circumftance would thow that he is net
