Important victories in Italy-- continued.

Extract of a letter from Buonaparte, to Gen. Clarke, dated Verona, 30th Nivose, (Jan. 19) 5th year.

"Scarcely had I quitted Roverbella, when I was informed that the enemy had appeared at Verona.--Massena had made his dispositions, which were exceeding successful. We took 600 prisoners, and 3 pieces of cannon. Gen. Brueys had shots through his clothes without receiving the slightest wound. Such is the advantage of being a fortunate man.

"We have had only ten men killed, and a hundred wounded.

Extract of a letter from Gen. in Chief, Buonaparte, to the Executive Directory.

Head-quarters at Roverbella, 28th Nivose, (Jan. 17.)

"There have occurred since the 23d, operations of such great importance, and which have been accompanied with so many actions, that it is impossible for me before to-morrow to present you with a detail of particulars; I shall now barely enumerate them.

"Upon the 18th Nivose, (9th Jan.) the enemy attacked the division of Gen. Massena before Verona, which produced the battle of St. Michael, where they were completely beaten. We took 600 prisoners, and three pieces of cannon. The same day they attacked the head of our line at Montebaldo, and produced the battle of Corona, when they were repulsed with the loss of an hundred and ten prisoners.

"Upon the 22d at midnight, the division of the enemy's army, which had taken post at Bevel aqua ever since the 19th, when they compelled the advanced guard of the division of Gen. Angereau to fall back, hastily threw a bridge over the Adige, a league from Porto Legnago, opposite Anguiari.

"Upon the 24th in the morning, the enemy caused a very strong column to defile by Montagna and Caprino, and thus compelled the division of Gen. Joubert to evacuate Corona, and concentrate themselves at Rivoli. I had foreseen this movement. I repaired thither at night, and the battle of Rivoli ensued, which we gained upon the 25th and 26th, after an obstinate resistance: at which place we made 13,000 prisoners, took several stands of colours and pieces of cannon. General Alvinzi, almost alone, with great difficulty escaped.

"Upon the 27th Gen. Guyeux attacked the enemy at Anguiari, to attempt to throw them into confusion before they had entirely effected their passage. He did not succeed in his object but he made 300 prisoners.

"Upon the 26th Gen. Angereau attacked the enemy at Anguiari, which produced the second battle of Anguiari. He made 2000 prisoners, took 16 pieces of cannon, and burnt all their bridges over the Adige; but the enemy taking advantage of the night, fled straight towards Mantua. They had already advanced within cannon shot of this place. They attacked St. George's, a Suburb, which we had carefully intrenched, and they were unable to carry it. I arrived in the night with reinforcements, which conducted the battle of La Favorite, and I now write to you on the field of battle. The fruits of this battle are 7000 prisoners, a number of standards, cannon, all the baggage of the army, a regiment of hussars, and a considerable convoy of provisions and oxen, which the enemy attempted to introduce into Mantua.

"Wurmser tried to make a sortie to attack the left wing of our army, but he met with the usual reception, and he was obliged to return.

"Behold then in three or four days the fifth army of the Emperor entirely destroyed.

"We have taken 23,000 prisoners among which are a Lieutenant-General, two Generals, 6000 men killed and wounded, 60 pieces of cannon, and about 24 stand of colours. All the battalions of Vienna, Volunteers have been taken prisoners. Their colours are embroidered by the hands of the Empress.

"The army of Gen. Alvinzi was near 50,000 men, a part of which had come post from the interior of Austria.

"The moment I return to head-quarters I will transmit you a detailed account, to inform you of the military movements which have taken place, as well as to acquaint you with the different corps and individuals who have distinguished themselves.

(Signed)
BUONAPARTE.
