Austrian troops begin marching beyond the Piava following Montebello talks, while Genoa’s title shifts to Liguria Republic and Romagna joins the Cisalpine system.

Dispatch from Milan dated XIV Thermidor reports the General in Chief addressing the Executive Directory. The fleet departed Venice under Captain Bourdé with multiple ships of the line and several frigates.
Officers of the 3d Regiment of Artillery submitted a note alleging that pamphlets circulated to inflame soldiers against the Legislative Body. The council debated whether to refer the matter to the Directory, or to a special committee, ultimately deciding to print the address.
The council debated whether arming and provisioning the National Guard should be funded by the Treasury or communes.
