ACCORDING to farther Accounts from General Melas, refpecting his advancing into the Territory of the Genoefe Coaft, the Enemy had entrenched their Pofition on La Torre di Cadibuona in the most advantageous Manner, occupied by Three Thousand Men. This Pofition General Melas ordered the Divifion of Mitrowfky to attack on the 6th Inftant, and its Conqueft would have been difficult, had not a Battalion of the Regiment Neisfky, under the Command of Major Gertich, undertaken to form it, which decided the Victory in Favor of the Auftrians. Five Pieces of Artillery were taken; a Chief of Brigade, Twenty Officers, and Two Hundred Privates, made Prifoners; and it was only owing to the Ground being favourable to the Enemy, that they fuccec in reaching their fecond Pofition on Monte Ajuta, whither they fled, notwithstanding the many steep Mountains, purfued with incredible Swiftnefs by our brave Troops. General Count Saint Julien and Major-General Lattermann meanwhile afcended and took Monte Ajuto and Monte Negiro, and

the

the whole of the Troops of General Saint Julien purfued the Enemy on Three Roads towards Vado and Savona. At the Pofition of Monte Negiro, a Chief of Battalion, Twelve Officers, and One Hundred Privates were made Prisoners, and One Cannon and several finall Field Pieces taken.

On the 7th, in the Morning, Field Marshal Lieutenant Eliniz afcended Monte Saint Giacomo, and occupied Monte Sette Pani with the Brigade of General Ulm.

The Enemy having evacuated the Fort of Vado in the preceding Night, after fpiking their Cannon, and having fled towards the Sea near Nice, Monte Altiffimo and the Fort of Vado were occupied by our Troops on the fame Day, where they found Seventeen Pieces of Heavy Artillery. General Melas afterwards blockaded the Citadel of Savona with the Imperial Troops.

On the 8th, the English Admiral Lord Keith entered the Port of Vado, with Two Ships of the Line of Seventy-four Guns, Four Cutters, a Brig, and Eight Ships laden with Provifions.

General Melas having received certain Information that the main Force of the Enemy was affembled in and near Genoa, he entrusted the blockade of the Citadel of Savona to General Elnitz, and with the Reft of his Army purfued his March along Monte Notte and Monte Negiro, in a Manner which enabled him to take a Pofition with his Left Wing on the Lake near Albizola, and along the Rivulet of Rezo, and to fix his Head-Quarters at Madona di Savon.

General Ott reported to General Melas, that on the 6th he had gained fome Advantages over the Enemy at Cornua and Reccio and that he had driven them from a fecond Pofition on Monte Capunardo.

On the following Day the aforefaid General refolved to march to Monte Creto, in order to affift in forcing the Bochetta, which General Count Hohenzollern had undertaken to attack.

In the different Engagements which have hitherto taken place the Lofs of our Troops has been inconfiderable.

Befides other Prifoners made in the City of Savona, one of the Enemy's Hofpitals, with Three Hundred and Fifty Men fell into our Hands; and General Melas ftates, that Prifoners are ftill coming in; all of whom report that the Enemy were un prepared for a formidable Attack on that Side, which alfo appears from the Circumftance of feveral Officers being made Prifoners on the molt impaffable Mountains, whither they had been fent by the French Generals, to fearch for a Communication with the Interior of France, as well as with Nice and Genoa.
