m tt p _-itt a T ? "R A T ¦ T T "F OF M A _T F \ T _i UAWX ' . i * - _1 From the various and most contradictory accounts of this sanguinary struggle it certainly appears beyond all doubt that the Austrians have been out- generalled , and have suffered a terrible reverse , Cetailed _accoxihts have yet to be received , but from a letter written from Novara , the day after the bat- tie , we get the following particulars , which will very probably be modified by _succeding intelligence . _" On the 1 st of June General Gyulai ' s headquarters were at Garlasco , but on the following Wednesday , pressed by the allies , he was compelled to remove to Abbiate Grasso . On Saturday the allies succeeded in crossing the Ticino at Buffalora , and their head- quarters were established at Magenta , four miles from Abbiate Grasso , and twelve miles from Milan , Whilst this movement was being executed a French corpB d ' armee had succeeded in crossing the Ticino , at Turbigo , five Italian miles above Buffalora . Surrounded on all sides , Count Gyulai was compelled to take up the position of Abbiate Grasso , with the object of forcing the French and Sardinians to re- cross the Ticino . In order to attain his object the Austrian Commander-in-Chief ordered General . Zobel to attack their extreme left nt Magenta , which was formed by a division of the Imperial Guard , supported by a regiment of Zouaves . * This column , thinking it had only to deal with a division of the enemy ' s corps d'arm 6 e , went boldly to the charge , but _Ta _^ _J soon compelled to bend on the centre , which had already been attacked by Prince Lichtenstein , who was leading two divisions of _Schwarzenburg _' s corps d ' _armce . It was then that two guns of the Imperial Guard were captured by a company of the 3 rd Yager battalion . This back movement of the French left wing was soon stopped by a "bold march of their centre , which by this time had repulsed the men of Prince Lichtenstein . The _advance of their right followed , and in less than two hours the allied generals were able to deploy a line of 60 , 000 men against the columns of the enemy . Tho forces of the Austrians were not much short of 80 , 000 men with a powerful artillery . They were , however , compelled to movo on a most disadvan- tageous ground , . vs their loft was aoon turned by Canroben ' s corps d ' armee , supported by Fanti ' _sdivi- _sion , thus obliged to leave _VigSno and Rosate , and fall on thQir centre at Abbiato Grasso . Tho Aus- trian centre thus swelled by the routed columns ; of their left wing was thrown into disorder . General MaoMahon then reached the scene of action , and went to the charge with an impetuosity which has seldom been witnessed . He was supported by General Durando ' s division , which stood in reserve , The shock was terrible . Tho _Austrians wore routed , the victory wu ) won . " Other accounts are not so favourable to the French general ' s strategical powers . A letter from Turin * _Sy * :-. « The Imperial and Sardinian Guards wore _engaged against the Austrian _massos . Tho Guards wore attacked and were unable to advance , but , novortholoss , firmly _rooisted tho enemy . Tho _faTirtt . ° _^^^ ss _^ g _^ 5 : • ¦

prise the right wing of our army , but a movement of . General MacMabon rendered the attempt inef- fectual . The efforts of the enemy relaxed somewhat for a moment , and the conflict then began again with renewed fury . General MacMahon was tri- umphant _i and the battle was won . Another letter , received . in Paris , states , that the Austrians amounted , it is affirmed , to 150 , 000 , and the French to about as many , at Magenta . The Emperor , according to this writer , was in the midst of the Imperial Guard during the stand they made for two liours against the Austrians , who ; it appears , were aware of the fact . The artillery of the Imperial Guard suffered fearfully . The hero of the day wars General MacMahon , who , without waiting for orders , brought up his corps _cTarmie and his artillery , and decided the battle . Up to that time the Austrians had had the advantage ; but NacMahon brought up ten batteries of artillery , and fired into the dense masses of the Austrians , caus- ing them an enormous loss of life . The di . s- -patches speak in the highest terms of the Hun- garian cavalry . One of the telegrams received in official qnarters here , says : — " L ' artillerie de la Garde Imperiale a ete hackee par la cavalerie Hon- groise . " It is also said that the Emperor so far exposed himself that he was in danger of being made prisoner , and that he was only saved from capture by the mano 8 uvre of MacMahon . Generals Espinasse and Clery are killed ; General Neil is wounded , and Marshall Canrobert dangerously so . MacMahon was created a Marshall of France upon the field j with the title of Duke of Magenta . The King or Sardinia . — "Victor Emmanuel has been wounded in the arm . The Opinione of Turin states that the municipal cities of Genoa , Saluzzo , Alessandria , and Other towns of Piedmont have drawn up addresses to the king entreating him not to expose his person so recklessly in battle . Further Fkexcii Successes . —An official tele- gram announces that orv Wednesday bodies of Austrian troops being intrenched in Malegnario , Marshal Baraguay _' . d'Hilliers- was ' sent by the Emperor to dislodge them , and took the village with but little loss . ¦ . .

Napoleon In Milan. The Allied Sovereigns...
NAPOLEON IN MILAN . The allied sovereigns entered Milan at 8 o ' clock on Wednesday morning . On the previous Monday they received an address from seven members of the municipality of Milan , annexing in presence of the Emperor of the French , Lombardy to Piedmont , Of course the liberal donation thus made by the seven town-couaciUors of Milan will be graciously accepted . We have yet to learn by what authority the whoie of the Lombard populations have been made a present of in so summary a fashion to Victor Emmanuel . We have not heard of universal suf- frage being appealed to to ascertain what were the wishes of the people on a point so important to themselves , and we do not know whether they have _j md the option of complete independence or merely a chance of rulers . An official bulletin published in Turin , announces that Victor Emmanuel has been proclaimed King of Upper _Lombardy . li *
Progress Of Garibaldi. The North Of Lomb...
_PROGRESS OF GARIBALDI . The north of Lombardy . it is , said isentirely freeof the Austrians , so that the insurrection in the Valteline and the valley of the Brembo has been crowned with complete success ; whilst Garibaldi is active again in the neighbourhood of Locco , Como _, and Varese , and even along the shores of the Lago Maggiore . Ho has seized the boats on that lake , and has been vigorously employed in capturing the Austrian Custom-house officers afc every station , and so- quring the _trenauro they had in their possession , The garrison of five hundred men left at Laveno by General Urban cannot , it is probable , iong maintain their ground , especially after _. _fhe events of the last _ftjw days . In fact , there can b 0 little doubt but that the Roman chief himself is by this time at , Milan , in conjunction with Louis Napoleon and the King of Sardinia . General Urban , it is clear , to Bavo his division from destruction , will bo compelled to retire behind the Adda , and by that moans to oflbct , if _posaiblo , a junction with tho grqRt body of tho Austrian * . Tho Government of _£ he King of Sardinia is already in operation at Como and Sondrio . Tho official Austrian Correspondence however , states that , according to reliable Informa- tion , Field _Maralial Lieutenant Urban has success- fully e _^ cted a retreat with his troops at _Oassano . _tfost of th » volunteers composing the troops now fighting under General Garibaldi are Jho _ofneora and men who ton _organisod «» d brought to . bo hi g h a state otmlUtnry _offloionoy in the British Italian Legion , when commanded by CoJonol Burnaby , of the Grenadier _Guards .

Increase of the bwiss Fortifications . —The Federal Qouncil has ordered the immediate fortify-™ g of _LuMetisteig , and also of the frontiers of the Gnsons bordering on Austria . Orders have hkewis _? / , bee ? iss _« e < * to hasten the completion or the fortifie & _tions of St . Maurice , in the canton Valais . France . A solemn thanksgiving was offered up on Tuesday , in the ancient cathedral of Notre Dame , for the victory won at Magenta . The Empress attended in state . The National Guard and various detachments of troops , infantry and cavalry , either lined , the way from the Tuileries or followed the cortege . Marshal Magnan and General _Lawsestine rO ( je at the side of the Imperial carriage . The cathedral of Notre Dame was decorated with the greatest pomp , and nothing was neglected which could add splendour to the' solemnity . The places not reserved for the authorities were filled at an early hour , and an immense crowd remained outside the clinrch , notwithstanding the heavy rain .. The French public watches eagerly every indication of an intention on the part of England and Prussia to attempt'to put an end to hostilities , by mediation . Much as the Parisians are elated , and naturally so , by the successes which have attended the allied armies , they have no wish to continue the war , and will be delighted to see it terminated in any manner honourable to France . It must be admitted , . too , that , as regards the object of the campaign , it is with nearly every one there merely a question of glory . As to the interests of Italy scarcely a single person gives himself the least trouble to inquire . it is a good sign that , much as the Parisians have reason to be proud of what the army has affected * they would be delighted to see the matter terminatetl now , in almost any manner . In the ineantime large reinforcements arc _buing dispatched to the seat of war , as well as very heavy siege trains .

_-poSTTTfYNT OF TIIE AUSTRIANS r t _wl , , , _,. ¦ > _*\ _t- _» * i ' a _Thkric can now be little doubt but that the Austrians have resolved to retreat behind the Adda . which is about twelve miles to the east ot Milan , The reported evacuation of Pavia , the presence of - Count Gyulai at Belgioso so early as Monday , the withdrawal of the outposts at _btrauella across tue Po—all this tends to confirm such a supposition . General Urban , who made his escape from Garibaldi with part of his forces , has already reached Cassano , on the oast bank of the Adda , where the Lombardo-Venetian railway crosses it . Bergamo , _cassano _^ _P _^ and Cremona would thus torm tne points d' appm of the new Austrian line , and the Adda its _natuml defence . It would resemble very much their original position behind the foesia , witu tins difference , however , that the iortress ? _r _xio-. een * a , which stands . to _/ lt . » n _- _*™ _??""?"?{? . which Alessandria stood to the former line , is ¦ _" !" m the hands of the Austrians .
