Tim wend great battle against the Austrian power in Italy has been fought, and a second time the Austrians have been utterly defeated. At Magenta the victory was in acme respect due to the incompetency of GYCLAI—at Solferino the Austrian army fought nobly under the eye of Fa Jo.trn himself, but was unable to resist the overwhelming prowess of the Allies. We have before observed that this battle would test the courage and endurance of the rank and file in either host, and the event proves that our prediction was not erroneous. It is abundantly clear that the Austrians were thoroughly prepared, for they themselves began the attack ; and it is equally clear that an army which continued the struggle from 4 o'clock in the morning until 8 o'clock in the evening hss not only been well handled, but bas fought with determined courage. So confident was Austria in her military position, that only a few hours before the battle began her etniasaries , solicited the neutral powers to abstain from interfering with the progress of the campaign. And no doubt the enormous preparation which they had made, and the unquestioned ability of their military officers, to a certain degree justified this confidence. Hut the physical superiority of the Allies, and that spirit of enthusiasm which a ' just cause alone can inspire, outweighed every ad vantage. The grand details—even the plan of the battle—au still unknown. Bat thus much is clear : I the Austrians themselves recreated the river Minnie, ' chose their own ground, and advanced to the I attack. They must therefore have been confident of success, and they certainly fought with per severing courage. Their line of battle occupied I fifteen miles. They must therefore have had an enormous army. But their losses, they themselves my, " were extraordinarily heavy"—at the clove of the day they retired behind the Mingle and the French EMPFROIt slept in the very rase which the Austrian Enemy:in had occupied the same morning. Assuredly it is difficult to imagine a greater defeat or a more important victory. Tbe vitality of Austria is proverbial ; but, after Maggots and Solferino, the return of the Austrian EMPZIIOII to Milan, or his continued presence on the south aide I of the Isooso--the true boundary between Italy I and Germany—ought to be considered hopeless. If the Allies consent to treat for peace, it must be on this basis—that the Au trisos at once retire beyond that natural limit. I Had the super-subtle METTERNICH lived a few weeks longer, he might perhaps have began to sus poet that Italy is something more than " • geogra " phscel expression." Imperfect as the accounts of the battle of Solferino still are, it would be idle to attempt say detailed de- I , scription of the engagement. But its general fee toes and the principles which determined the ; Austrians to deliver it are not bard to con jecture. The serious danger to which the Allied Army most have been exposed in attempting to elves the Mincio between Noakes and Mantua— n distance of 2t miles, in the fete of a hostile army exceeding 250,000 men—has been already pointed eat in these cislumns. It was probable, therefore, that the Freoeh Eurntoe would wait until the sees) about to be landed near Venice and the forces of Primo X.t►uLtov bad come up so as to thrown the rear and left link of the Austrian army. Is the meantime, it was the obvious duty of the Attics to wait patiently until their flank attire& was organised sod on the point of bring executed. If the Austrians stood fast ou the left bank of the Nlincio until this attack was developed, they would ►e exposed to a double assault : if they did not stand fist, hut retreated to Verona, they would demoralise their anoy a ad sacrifice the whole of Venetia—perhaps even canoe the surrender of their whole army, which might be blocked up in Verona by the blocking up of the northern road to Trent and the eastern Toed to Vicenza. In short, if the Austrians were to fight at all, it were better that they should fight before the Allies had received the rein heeement of 40,000 men heath, side of Venice, and es many more from Thum y. Bat as the French Ersrnot declined to -seams the initiative until this fresh army was ready to eceoperve with him, the only course for the Autrians was to begin the 'attack. Faexrt• Jo.Lell might entertain reasonable hopes that by c.illecting together every soldier within reach he might defeat the French sod Sardinians in ' his Iron? , I ut he might well doubt whether he could sustain the onset of that army when aided by iioessi ad•litioeal troops operating on hie resr. With CI possible despatch, therefore, he collected reinforcements. This being done, he crossed the Nlineio oo Thursday, the 23rd, et four places, and advanced to a position between that river and the thine. His line extended in an oblique and south-westerly direction. His right wing was at Pozsaleogo, about three miles south _ . • wait of Perchiers and the Lago di Omds, and occu pied Ballerina and Ca•riano, still further to the south-west. ilia centre craned the great road between Monteehiare and Golfo, whilst the :eft wing, under WtliPentY, occupied Castel Goffredo, nod approached the ri Chine. .1 ris obligee line, running from the sarth-eut to the south-west, occupied the ground between the Mincio and the Chine which has for years awed as the Clump de Mars for the Austrian armies. Ms Austrian officers, therefore, knew every inch of the field on which they fought. Opposite the Aus trian right wing were the Sardinians, the rest of the line was occupier' by the French. All Thuniday wee sprat in preparations, and arranging the order of battle. Hut on Friday, abort lOsielock in the moraine, the action began. In the anemone, according to the Austrian acc"unt (tor the French telegrams give no detail,) a concentrated attack by the Allies was made en the village of Solferino. The Sardinians THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 1869. were repulsed : bat at the same time it up• pears that the metre was forced, for the Austrian telegram says "that order in that quarter could not be restored." Resides this, it is clear that the French made a great flank attack on the Austrian left wing. Is the meanwhile the main body advanced upon Volta, which is In rear of the Austrian line of battle, and close to the Mincio. In short, the Austrian metre was pierced and hie left was overwhelmed The Battle of Solferino was wan and the retreat was ordered. What the losses may be neither the French nor the Austrian accounts indicate, but the Turin telegram declares that the Allies took thirty cannon, 6,000 prisoners, and several flags. Bach was the Battle of Solferino. The head queen et the Austrian Ell PZIOR are at Villafranca ea the railway between Mantua and Verona; those of the French Ent Zane ars at Cavriano. Neither the advance of the victorious army nor the retreat of the defeated army has been very great, brit after so great an action the results are scarcely yet SOW tsised or developed.

THE GREAT BATTLE AT SOLFERIN O. VICTORY OF THE ALLIES. IMPRESS FROM PARIo. (max ova owx coazzaromorr.) PARIS, SUNDAE EVENING. I never saw anything like the enthusiasm in Paris last night. Ido not allude particularly to the wens on the Boulevards, where the numerous cues, which are under the control of the police, get up illumina tions to order whenever required. Bat on this occa sion I saw more private houses illuminated in all quarters of the town than I ever remember to have seen before. In the Qaartier Latin and the faa burgs there was a complete saturnalia. Bands of young men roamed about the streets, arm-in-arm, shooting and singing. In many places—a thing un precedented and not much to be commended—equiba and crackers were thrown about in great abundance, and the half pleased but half terrified lieges rushed to the doors and windows to see the explosion. I heard one steady-looking Paterfamiliuiinquiring somewhat angrily in a group why the police did not interfere, and the answer, which seemed to give general satisfaction, was, " Tont eat permis au jourd'hui The Moniteur having announced this morning, in a second despatch from the Emperor to the Empress, that it is still impossible to send any details of the battle, the government journals seem to have re ceived orders not to publish any information which they may have heard. The Pays says: All sorts of rumours have circulated In Paris to-day on the subject of the greet victory of June 24, Various details of the battle and of its probable results have been bruited. We think it right to abstain from giving currency to any of these versions which have no authentic character. The Patrie also alludes to private news u having arrived, which it declines to re-produin in the thermos of " certain information." The Patric was quite mistaken in announcing yesterday that the French army had already crossed the Minnie in pursuit of the enemy. Not only the silence of the Monacar on the subject, but positive news from the army, shows that it is yet on the right bank. The Austrian despatch sufficiently admits a defeat, with very great loss ; but there is every reason to suppose that the Austrians retired in good order, and yet occupy formidable positions on the left bank of the river. _ . The Pays takes upon itself to etratradict two im portant statements of its fellow government journal, the Patrie, one that 40,000 men had been ordered from Africa to the Adriatic, and the other that General Fririon's division of the army of Paris is going to Italy. AU that hu yet been done (says the Pays) I. to complete the effective force of the different regiments now in Italy by sending out men who were absent on renewable leave, and re• emits whose drill is finished. The Mouiteur de rA 'vile gives the following topo- graphical particulars of the incur in quo of the late battle CaWilla& is situated about 8 kilometres from the river !Endo, on the right bank, 11 kilometres from Lake Garda, and 26 kilometres from Mantua. The action must have taken place in the large plebe, about 30 kilometres in length, which es•enda from the one to theother of these fortresses. The principal points of this plain are Borghetto, Volta, Curdiszolo, htelino Poises, blisinbons, Got o, and Camignano. The Austrian bead-quarters were at Velleggio, 1 kilometre and half from the Mined° on the left hank, and 6 kilometres from Cavrians, otherwise 'pelt Garrison. This splendid victor/ mums us the passage of the Mincio, which must be the inevitable consequence of it. Operations will now become decisive, and the definitive success of our elms is certain. General Niel, the new marshal of France, ie not more than fifty-seven year,' old, and looks much younger. He was a student of the Polytechnic School, which he quitted to study engineering at Metz. His early promotion war not extremely rapid. We, find him a lieutenant of engineers in 1827, he became • captain in 1833, and gained his chef de liataillow's epaulette on the field of battle of Constantine (1837. He was made a colonel in 1846, and with that rank he took part in the expo- dition to Rome in 1849 as head of the engineers staff. While at Rome he was promoted to the rank of brigadier-general, and shortly afterwards w•s charged with the mission of carrying the keys of the city to the Pope at Gaeta.. On his return to France he became a member of the superior com mittees of engineering and fortifications, and was ap pointed director of theengineering department in the ministry of war, and councillor of state on extraordi nary service. As a general of division he commanded the engineers in the Baltic, and took part in the siege of Bomarsund. Subsequently he commanded the engineers in the Crimea. His reputation as a scientific officer has always stood remarkably high. He is a tall, handsome man, and very distingue in his appearance and manners. It will be remembered that he was selected in January last to go to Turin to make the official demand of the Prince's Clo thilde's hand for Prince Napoleon. A despatch from Rome, stating that the Pope's soldiers have restored his authority in Ferrara, Ravenna, Forli, Ancona, and " the other towns " of the Holy See, is received with incredulity. The Prase observes that the wording of the despatch seems to embrace all the Roman towns without exception, and thinks such rapid and complete suc cess stands in abundant need of confirmation. But the Petrie alludes to another and more credible despatch, which states that the Pope's autho rity has been mestablished at Ancona, and the other parts of his atat•s "except Bologna, For _ rare., Furli, and Ravenna." These exceptions are indeed large; for, not to speak of Perugia, whale fate we know of, they comprise, I believe, all the principal places that have hitherto risen. A Turin letter states that the Dominican monks in Perugia clandestinely opened one of the gates of the town to the Pope's Swiss guards. If this be ea, the friars rendered his Holiness a very bad ear vice. There is an expectation that two or three thousand volunteers, assembled at Mezzo, will march to the relief of Perugia. _ A correspondent of the & r ecta says that one of the best shots in Garibaldi's service is an Englishman of fifty years old, who carries a capital Lancaster rifle, and, aided by a pair of spectacles of which he stand' in need, brings down every Tyrolian chaaseur that he takes aim at. Somebody lately asked him whe ther he had been attracted to join the volunteer corps by a strong feeling for the Italian cause or by a love of sport. He answered very coolly, " I have • great respect for Italian independence, but I am also very fond of shooting." gO court. Th.
