Head-quarters, Goritz, 4th Germinal, March 24.
Citizen Directors,
Gen. Guieux, with his division, went on the 2d to Cividale at Caporetto; he there encountered the enemy entrenched at Plezzo, attacked them, and took from them 2 pieces of cannon and 100 prisoners, and pursued them into the defiles of Caporetto in the Austrian China, and left the field of battle covered with Austrians.
Gen. Massena, with his division, is at Tarvis. I have, therefore, reason to hope that the 2000 men whom Gen. Guieux has pushed before him, will fall into the hands of the division of Massena.
The General of division, Dugua, entered Trieste last night.
BUONAPARTE.
