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 WAR IN ITALY.

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 &recta 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."
