The French have finally crossed the Po, about Codogno; they are now in possession of Codogno and Casal Pusterlengo. The action was rigorous and the corps of gen. Lipthay, who defended the passage from the enemy, was very ill treated; the Neapolitan horse suffered very much, and the regiment of the queen was cut to pieces. The court received the news of this heavy stroke by an express arrived here this afternoon. The archduke and all the court are about departing; all the town is in confusion, disorder and terror: the carriages and transports that depart from here are numberless, and no horse is to be got at the post.
P. S. The court left the town towards sunset, the archduke and arch duchess likewise took the way to Bergamo (about 10 leagues from Milan) but it is presumed they will not remain long there, the situation of Bergamo not being very safe, since the French are already in possession of Lodi and Casano.
