They complain very much at Vienna of the conduct of the Piedmontese troops, and still more of the government of Genoa. They observe that the French themselves declare in their reports that the Imperial troops fought with the greatest bravery they conclude, from thence that the reverse they have experienced may be attributed to some secret cause. So says the Gazette of Mayence.
Letters from the Imperial army in Italy announce that general count d'Argenteau is accused, if not of treason, at least of failing in transmitting to the generals who commanded under him, the orders of mon. Beaulieu. Mon. d'Argenteau and several of his officers have been arrested by the commander in chief, and conducted to Pavia, where the first has been already subjected to diverse interrogatories.
