General Buonaparte's forces shift toward Italy and Gratz
reports from Leoben indicate 12,009 of Buonaparte's army fell back toward Gratz as contingents prepare to march to Italy. Republicans threaten the Mincio while their rear becomes the advance guard. Imperialists hold evacuated positions under an agreement. Vienna camp sees 18 battalions ordered south and 3,000 more troops to Italy to preserve order and aid territorial exchanges likely to be negotiated between Austria and France, with Venice to gain Lombard provinces and boundary changes near the Adige. The plan envisions ceding lands and adjusting control across Lombardy and Papal provinces.
