Republic extends along the Adige , and occupies the line of Montebello , Carona , and Rivoli . We have an advanced guard before Verona , and another , before Porto Legnago .

Mantua is blockaded with the utmost strictness . .

I repeat to you , with the greatest satisfaction , that the Republic has no army which wishes more than that of Italy , the maintenance of the sacred constitution of 1 -195 , the only refuge of liberty and the French people .
