PARIS, Tilt aztutv Lex' \

The official report of the battle of Magenta is
looked for with great impatience. Some letters
from the special correspoudents of several French
papers, dated Novara, June 5, have now appeared,
but the details they give are very meagre. The
writers bad evidently only picked up a few scraps
of information, and had no materials for giving
anything like a clear account of the operations of
June 4 in their ossent64. Their reports of the
casualties seem to be quite em random as thew of
the Moriterie. M. Texier, of the Slide, says " the
number of prisoners is incalculable ; people talk of
15,000 It will be remembered that 7,000 is the
highest figure at which the prisoners have
been put by the 211.mitrur. On the other
hand, M. Tesler says that " it is positively said
that the Austrians left 8,000 men on the field of
battle," whereas the litunittur claimed the
enormous number of 20,000 of the enemy " killed
and wounded." The Dibuts correspondent, M.
Amedee Achard, mentions the number of Austrian
prisoners as 7,000, and says that "12,000 or 15,000
men, for the most part Austrians,remained stretched
on the field of battle, to attest the fierceness of the
struggle." He says that the Austrians fought mach
better on this oceasioa than they had done at
Montebello and Palestro. " There was no such thing
as regiments throwing down their arms and running
away after the first shock; they valiantly sustained
the honour of their flag." Both the correspondents
agree that the battle began by the grenadiers of
the Guard and a regiment of Zouavea being
attacked by superior numbers, that the loss of the
guards was very heavy, and that General Niel and
General MacMahon came up from different points
• end saved the fortune of the day, after long and
desperate fighting. Both state that General Niel
had two horses killed under him, and M. Achard
says that General MacMahoo had one. The
Emperor appears to have been present during some
part of the day.
It was stated in several Belgian joutnale, and in
mazy Italian letters published here, that the King
of Sardinia was to make his entry into Milan before
the French Emp:ror, as the latter wished particu-
larly to avoid assuming the appearance of a con-
queror on his own account. The natural con-
stnactien of the te'egram that appeared in the
Nteriker is, however, that the two sovereigns en-
tered the city together, and there is no contradie•
tiom of this fact. One version is that the delay arose
from the Emperor waiting for the King of Sardiaia.
The Emperor, it is said, has established his head-
quarters, not at the seat of government, but in a
private villa. There is some expectation that a pro-
clamation will be shortly issued to the army reca-
pitulating the objects of the war.
The Bowes was heavy, chiefly, as it is supposed.
from anxiety about the course of English politics.
The Rent* sustained a further fall of 35e. for cash,
and 30c. for account, closing at 62fr. 35e. and
82fr. 25c. Mobilier fell sfr. The Southern Rail-
way fell 15fr., and the other lines about Mr.
The French journals are very sparing of remarks
on the Queen's speech. The Debuts thinks there is
nothing to be said about the passage which speaks
of strict and impartial neutrality, because "that de-
claration is in entire conformity with the attitude
assumed and maintained by the English government
ever Circe the commencement of the war." The
Si.,;-h, however, understands the weed neutrality in
a somewhat different sense, for it says We have
some remote to be surprised at the coldness of
Queen Victoria towards us. The strict and impar-
tial neutrality which she professes need not have
stood in the way of the expression of good wishes
fora happy issue of the war, and for the realisation
of the hopes of Italy."
