With the Neapolitans marching on his flank and rear, Eugene Beauharnois was compelled to abandon the positions on the Adige, which he had hitherto so well maintained, and to fall' back upon the Mincio. Thither Gen. Beilegarde followed him with the Austrian army as far as Valcggio, where, on the 8th Feb. n very severe contest ensued. A y.reat number of men was lost on both sides, without any very decisive result; since the subsequent retreat of Beauharnois arose more from the demonstrations of the Neapolitans against his rear, than from defeat. Owing to the same cause, the French head-quarters-have since still further retrograded; and it is probable, that, thus assailed, Beauharnois will successively be compelled to abandon die greatest part of northern Italy. Beyond the Adriatic, the allied arms have continued successful. On the 8th of January the important forts of Cattaro surrendered to the British Captain Hoste, R. N.; i and, on the 29th of the same month, I iheAJfetrian troops, under General Tbmassich, obtained by capitula Iii addition to tlicraeasuresadopted by the Spanish government on the extraordinary occasion of the treaty entered into between Bonaparte and King Ferdinand, the Cortes, in the contemplation of the possibility of Ferdinand's returning to Spain under Bonapartt.'s auspiccsand influence, have passed a solemn decree, on the 2d February; of which, as our limits forbid even an abstract, we shall only say, that it provides every desirable safeguard to the Spanish nation in case of such an event; and that, should the king present him-self in the country, it will render it impossible for him to receive the reins of government, except on terms strictly consonant with the ...

Seller's Description:
Engraving. 9.5" x 6". Good with minor tears at edges, portion of left edge sliced sliced off, missing. Ackermann's Repository of Arts was an illustrated British periodical published from 1809 to 1829 by Rudolph Ackermann. Although commonly called Ackermann's Repository, or, simply Ackermann's, the formal title of the journal was Repository of arts, literature, commerce, manufactures, fashions, and politics, and it did indeed cover all of these fields. In its day, it had great influence on English taste in fashion, architecture, and literature. Ackermann employed Frederic Shoberl from the third issue in 1809 to 1828 when Shoberl moved on to similar projects. The last issue of the original Repository, published in December 1828, stated that the following year a new magazine would take its place. This new magazine, titled The Repository of Fashion, focused solely on fashion and was illustrated with a number of hand-colored and black-and-white plates. However, the last known issue of this new periodical was in September 1829. It is believed that soon thereafter, The Repository of Fashion was merged into La Belle Assemblée.
