Before I begin to relate the-difFerent anions which have taken place, and which I am happy to ftv hare terminated in the 'moil complete fuccefs, it will be nc ceffary prcvioufly to Hate to your Lordfhip the fixa tion of the allird arirty, . by which you will be better able to under (land the views of the enemy, . and the movements by which th-y have been defeated. The great and extenfive plan of, operations undertaken by field Marfhal Rnwarrow have necefTarily much divided his force. Befides the7fiee: of Turin ; Mantua, Alex- and ia and Tortona were blockaded. The naff: -of SufaT PTncfol, Ind the "Col d'AJltette, have .been. rcupied. Major Gn. Hohenzollern -was paled--Mo lena with a confi lerab'e corpi : Lieut Gem Ott, with to, 000 men at Rer2io, obferved the movements of t'ic7cnemy; on' that fide, while Field Marfhal Su wirrow remained at Turin with the reft of the army. This divided (late of the army appears to have prrfent ed to Gcn.f.Moreau the, mofl favorable opportunity of retrieving the French afFairs in Italy. He hoped, by ft rbngly reinforcing the : arniy of lJf a njy a. .iMitGea. Macdonald would be able to.oefeat .the feparate corps of generals On and Koher.zollern, .and .afterwards to elfeil a. junilion with the armv under his o n com mand; and he probably conceited that the Field Mar '.(hal.wfui top diftant to afford affiilance WitH. this Mew the army of Macdonald, which had advanced ve- ty far; to the North of Italy, waS joined bv the divifion of Victor,' and, from the report of the French officers taVen, mul have amounted to near 30,000 men,com p7fed entirely of Frtnchv! witTrte exception of one PflJifh legion. " Field Marmal Suwarrbw having recei reJ information of the intentions of the enemy -imme-diarly co'eed aU the force at Alexandria; whence he - raarched on the i 5 th. with 1,7 battalion ? of RufS - ani, 12 bajtilions of Auflrian 1 dragoonsr and'trce rcghnents of Coltacks. In the mean time gen. Mac ,l vjpildi h ad 1 fallen upon -Major. genVJojn.oJeT!?.i.AO.d r-fr 4 obliged him to' .o'6fihe'lo7wrth configurable lo.f. iien utt naa auo oeen ooirgea 10 rcxne.irom 11. Reggio to Placenza. Qo the 1 7th, the French at tacked gen,, Otti and compelled him '.to fall back upn Caille S. Gioant, when the arrival of the army, under the command of Field Marfhal Suwar row, enabled gen. Ott torepulfc the French behind the Iidone Rivtri with the lofa of one piece of cannon and f ederal prifo ucrs. On the 1 8th, the army marched in three co lumns to attack the enemy Gen. Rofenberg com manded the right column, the Ruffian geu. Foirfter the centre, arid gen. Mclas the left. The Ruffian grn. rnnce rrockration comma aded the advanced guard, -Prince LU;ktenftein thcrefervei - Tli e&Tf1t$t ni very muc interfecteCwitlr fid rows of vines. It Uoesnot appear that the. encrny oc. cupied any particular pottin. An advanced corp9 of two battalions and two guns at CafTalcgio was attack ed by the RuiTian grenadiers, and the .whole thade prU foners. -The French line retired behind the Tribbia. It was too late and the troops were too much fatigued to make a general attack, which was ordered for the next morning. The Trebbia is the mofl rapid torrent in Italy. The diftance from one bank to the other is near a mite. The intermediate fpace is an open fand, divided by feveral ftrcitns, which at this fcaforl are fordable any where. -The. Frencli occupied the right bank, the allies the left. On, the 19th, while the al lies were preparing to make the attack, the French be gan a very heavy fire upon thewh)le line. For a mo ment they fucceeded in turning the right -of the Ruf- JiaiisuCaUaIeggio,-.aad-bliged-tlrr but at this mllautr rrmce rrockrationrwho had been detached with the fame intent on the enemy's left, fell upon their rear and flank, and took one "piece of can non and many prifoners. The French did ijot howe ver. give up their objeS. They renewed the attack repeatedly upon the viihgeof Caflaleggio. 'but-wcre always defeated by the obflinate valor or the RnfTuns The attack upoa-thc centre and left was equally violent. For fomctime the fuccefs was doubtful, - but at night the whole F'ench line warepu I fed behind the Trebbia. It was the in'tencion of tt!je Field Mirfhai Suvvarrow to have followed up the juccef HicbTTeTtred TnTthe night. On the Voth in the morning, the army purfuc.d the enemy in ? co!uT.vi. 1 nc Rullians on that night marched by Settima, Montaruno, and Zeua; whrre'thc fear guard of the French, after an obflinate refinance laid down their srms. The left column, compofed of Auflrians, march ed on the great Troad fiom flacenza to Parma, as far as Ponte Nur. 1 On the 2 i.'U the army moved on to Fiorcri7.ola. Lieut. Gen. Ott was detached with a corps of Auftriavis in purfuit of the enemy. Several prifoners have already been lent in. Gen. Ott has re ported, that the French are retiring in two columns, One upon Parma, the other upon For te Novo. Prince Hohenzollern has advanced to .Parma. Scven pieces of cannon, four French generals, and above io.oco prifoners, have fallen into the hands of the allies. Gen. Moreau has advanced to Tortoni, where he gained a flight advantage over the adduced polls of gen . lklltgarde. Gen. Moreau's army, from all re ports, does not exceed 12,000 men, among whom are" a vad number of Genoefe.
