According to the last letters from Padua, the French having received considerable reinforcements from the armies of Rome and Naples, are making a serious diversion on the Lower Po, and threaten not only the corps of General Klenau, in the environs of Ferrara, but also that which forms the blockade of Mantua. Some Austrian and Russian troops have in consequence of it, been dispatched to reinforce those bodies, and to cover the rear of the Imperial army.
The Gazettes of Genoa and Piedmont state, that since the 30th of March, General Macdonald, at the head of 30,000 men, was proceeding by forced marches to the Po, after having left French garrisons in Naples, Capua, and Rome, which were, in conjunction with the National Guards of Republics, to defend the South, while Generals Moreau and Macdonald were to attack with their united forces, the Allied Army in the North of Italy.
