July 30, surrender of Mantua, another check.

August 15, battle of Novi; this time it was more than a check, it was a defeat.

Take note of it, general, for it is the last.

At the very moment we were fighting at Novi, Massena was maintaining his position at Zug and Lucerne, and strengthening himself on the Aar and on the Rhine; while Lecourbe, on August 14 and 15, took the Saint-Gothard.

August 19, battle of Bergen; Brune defeated the Anglo-Russian army, forty thousand strong, and captured the Russian general, Hermann.
