lieve, who will not join us in at leaft fin- 
cere wifhes for the accomplifhment of our 
predi@ion. - 
In our Iaft ftatement we left Field-Mar- 
fhal Kray upen the frontiers of Auftria, 
for the purpofe of protecting the Heredi- 
tary States. Moreau, however, after hav- 
ing fixed his head-quarters at Munich (on 
which city he impofed a contribution of 
10,000,000 livres, as he has fince done 
upon the dutchy of Wirtemburg of 
15,000,000), fent his advanced-guard 
along the Iferin purfuit of Marfhal Kray, 
who, according to the French accounts, 
when the French had reached Freifingen, 
quitted Landfhut onthe 2d of July, croffed 
the Inn, and took up his head-quarters at 
Brannau ; and the Republican troops on 
the fame day reached the left bank of the 
river. Another divifion of the French 
on the fame morning reached Neuftadt, 
between Ingolftadt and Ratifbon, without 
oppofition. General Klenau, with 7ooo 
men, unable to maintain a conte with 
this force, which confifted of 13,000, now 
retreated under the walls of Ratifbon ; 
while General Stzarray took polt at 
Wiirtzburg, more to the northward, to 
defend Bohemia againft St. Suzanne, who, 
about to be followed by Angereau with 
15,000 men from Holland, is advancing 
in Franconia, being by the lateft accounts 
at the gates of Franckfort on the Mein.— 
In this fituation Ingolftadt was invetted ; 
Ulm alfo was very clofely preffed ; and 
Grenier, to whom this tafk was afligned, 
has been able to {pare a corps of obferva- 
tion, that has advanced as tar as Nurem- 
berg, which it entered on the 7th of July, | 
towatch General Stzarray. On the gth 
of July St. Suzanne croffed the Mein, and 
attempted to penetrate to AYchaffenburg, 
but was repulfed. 
The divifion of Moreau’s army under 
Lecourbe has fuddenly returned, afcended 
the Lech, and joining Molitor, who cccu- 
pied Kempten, has taken Feldkirch, 
Coire, and in fhort the whole of the Gri- 
fon country, and thus formed a junéticn 
with the army of Italy, a divifion of 
which under Moncey had poffefled itfeif 
of the Valteline. Thus the juné&tion of 
the armies of Germany and Italy has 
been effeéied, and a free communication 
eliablifhed between them from the Danube 
to the Mediterranean, having their centre 
fupported by Switzerland, their two ex- 
tremities covered by the Gulph of Genoa 
on the right, and the Danube on the left ; 
and fortified throughout their whole ex- 
tent by advantageous pofitions.

The intelligence from Italy has chiefty 
confiitted of the German details of the Jaze 
a¢tions, which do not in any material par- 
ticulars differ from thofe of the French, 
except in the return of killed, wounded, 
and prifoners; General Melas ftating his 
whole lofs in the battle of Marengo at 20 
officers, 906g privates, and 1493 horfes = 
whereas Berthier had eftimated their lols 
at upwards of 42,000 men. The Impe- 
rialifts took 2600 prifoners ; but General, 
Melas makes no eftimate of the French’s 
lo{sin killed and wounded, merely faying 
that it was very confiderable. By the 
terms of the Armiftice, befides the for- 
treffes of the Mincio, and thofe of Ferra- 
ra and Ancona, the Auftrians remain mate 
ters of a line extending fromthe Po to the 
Mediterranean, thus covering Tufcany, 
and maintaining by Leghorn a communi- 
cation with the Britifh fleet. 
The moft prominent article contained 
in thefe accounts was the Convention for 
the Armiftice, which was figned between 
the French and Auftrians in Germany on 
the roth of July. The purport of the 
Armiftice was as follows :—** There fhalk 
be an armiftice and fufpention of hoftilities 
between His Imperial Majefty’s army im 
Germany, Switzerland, the Tyrol, and the - 
Grifons, and that of the Republic in thofe 
countries. The renewal of hoftilities to 
be preceded by twelve days notice, from 
the hour when the notification fhall arrive 
at the head quarters of the oppofite army. 
The French army fhall occupy all the ’ 
country comprifed within a line of demar- 
cation proceeding from the right bank of 
the Rhine at Balzers, along the territory 
of the Grifons, to the fource of the Til, 
from which it is to include all the valley 
up to the fource of the Lech, and follow- 
ing the rock of Arlberg, defcend to Rente 
by the left bank of the Lech, &c. That 
part of the Grifon territory between the 
line and the Engadine fhall be evacuated 
and remain neutral between both armies. 
This country fhall alfo maintain its pre~ 
fent form of government.” i 
This convention for an armifticeis faid 
by intelligence from the Hague to have 
brought on the figning of the prelimina- 
ries of peace between France and the Ein. 
perer at Paris, on the evening of the 29th 
of July. ' The Batavian DireGtory, in an 
extraordinary fitting, communicated this 
Important news to the two Batavian 
Chambers of Legiflature. ‘The p:elimi-
