Mali GITSCHIN, JULY 4, EvaNnia.

The number of killed and wounded on both
aides, in the battle of yesterday, between Konig-
gratz and Josephstadt, cannot yet be accurately
stated. The Prussians have captured up to the
present 14,000 unwounded Austrian prisoners and
116 cannon.

TRAUTENAU, JULY 4, Evzarima.

The following details of the battle between the
Austrians and Prussians on the 3rd inst. have been
received here :

The first army, under Prince Frederick Charles,
was already engaged unsupported at 8 in the
morning, and had a severe struggle with the Aus-
trians, who were in superior force. The second
army, under the command of the Crown Prince,
although stationed far from the battle-field, arrived
by dint of great exertions at the scene of action in
time to take part in the conflict, and directed its
attack against the Austrian right wing. This move-
ment decided the battle in favour of the Prussians.
The Austrians withdrew in the direction of
Pardubitz. An immense number of prisoners and
numerous guns and trophies were captured. The
losses sustained by the First Prussian Army were
considerable, but those of the Second Army were
small considering the brilliant victory achieved.
The troops enthusiastically cheered the King
and the royal princes commanding the two armies.

ITALY.
FLORENCE, litTLir 5.
The Florence papers of to-day declare that

order to carry on the war against Prussia, the
Italian army will closely pursue them and effect a
junction with the Prussian army. Italy, they add,
•ill not abandon Prussia either in victory or
defeat.

The same papers express their belief that the
campaign will be immediately resumed and conti-
nued until the Austrian monarchy be entirely dis-
membered. A complete understanding is said to
exist between the Italian government and the Na-
