NAJWITT 7111 IMPUtOIt.

Headquarters, Josephstadt, June 28..

To complete my telegraphic report made on the
evening of the 27th respecting the combats of Podoll and
Skalicz, I have the honour to inform your excellency of the
events which took place at Trautenau on the 27th. The
report of the 10th corps-dm-IAM only reached me at half-
past 1 in the morning. At Gin the morning of the
27th the brigade of Colonel Mondel forming the
advance guard of the army which was marching
on the side of Schurz, made an attack upon Trautenau,
which was in possession of the enemy. The fight was
sharp, and by degrees all the troops of our corps d'arnek
were engaged in it. According to the prisoners the enemy
brought successively into action three brigades of the first
corps Warm& to hold his position. After a fierce and
bloody battle Trautenan was in our possession at
8.45, though at 9 o'clock, when the repot: was sent
to me, there was Ain sonic slight firing going on. The
10th corm d'artaie established its position at Trautman,
but Field-Marshal-Lieutenant von Gablenz, basing been
confidentially informed that the enemy detached • strong
brigade, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, towards Eipel to
threaten his flank and rear, left a single baigade at
Trautenan, and, with a view of meeting the enemy on
that side, occupied, with the remainder of his troops, the
heights situated directly to the south of 'rrantenau, which
the enemy did not dare to attack.

THE BATTLE OF CI7STOZZA.
THE ARCHDUKE ALBRECHT'S REPORT.

The Vienna Gazette publishes the report of the
Archduke Albrecht on the battle of Custozza. After
describing the various operations of the day and
the final success of the Austrian troops, he says :
I must bear my testimony to the obstinacy and bravery
with which the enemy fought. His first attacks especially
were impetuous, and the officers gave a good example to
their men. The enemy, brought into lino under the
eyes of the King, and under the orders of the princes,
Humbert and Amadeus, the latter of whom was wounded,
the entire corps of Durando and Della Rocca, together
with, as the prisoners relate, a large portion of the corps
of Cucchiari, and .everal regiments of c-valry—ln all,
some 11 divisions of infantry, amounting to about 100,000
men, and almost all his reset vu artillery. But he found
himself unable to resist the tried and firm brave!' and
devotion of the imperial troops. Our loss in
killed and wound-A is not small, owing to the
impetuosity of the troops. Until I receive the detailed
reports I am unable to give the precise figures. We have
taken about 3,000 prisoners as well as I can make out,
' amongst whom are several officers. We have also taken
some guns, but I am unable to give the number at present.
I believe that the noble victory of Custozza will have the
more result from the circumstance that symptoms of de-
moralisation and discouragement in the Italian army were
manifested in the evening, after the taking of Custozza, by
numerous prisoners who had not eaten any food for 48
hours. In re-crossing the Mincio, the enemy burned the
handsome bridge of Valeggio, where he left: 00 wounded.
In the night they also abandoned Villafranca, where they
also left a large number of wounded.

On the evening of the battle the Archduke tele-
graphed to the old Austrian genera? Field-Marshal
Von Hess as follows:

The grateful pupil informs his master that he has this
day been victorious at Custozza.

The Pungola hae the following from Lonato,
dated June 28 :
Garibaldi is studying day and night all the positions of
this province. His activity is wonderful. He has ad-
dressed the following letter to Cella, one of his officers :
" Lonato, June V.

" My dear Cella,—You will ever be, under all circum-
stances, the bravest of the brave. You have been so at
Cafaro—a new glory for the Italian arms. I urgently beg
of you to be careful of your health for we shall soon want
you.—Yours ever, G. GARIBALDI."

CONCENTRATION OF RUSSIAN TROOPS.
The Europe has the following :

Prince Gortch►koff has addressed to the diplomatic
agents of Russia abroad a circular despatch, in which he
explains to them the purport and meaning of the concen-
tration of Russian troops on the Austrian and Prussian
frontiers. Russia, he informs them, intends to observe the
strictest neutrality towards all parties, but the Russian
government felt bound to concentrate a corps of observa.
tion both on the Austro-Russian and Prusso-Russian fron-
tiers for the security of the inhabitant; if the frontier
might eventually become the theatre of war,and to prevent
the contest from being carried into Russian territory. The
reasons assigned for the concentration of an army on the
Pruth are remarkably brief. The object of this army,
having regard to the armaments of the Porte and the move-
ment of Turkish troops towards the Danube, is to prevent
the entry of these troops into the Principalities.

THE BATTLES IN BOHEMIA.
GITSCHIN, Jun' 2.

The total loss of the Austrians in their battles
with the army of the Crown Prince was 25,000
men ; and with the army of Prince Frederick
Charles 15,000. The desertion of Italian soldiers
from the Austrian army is increasing. The retreat
of the Austrians was very precipitate.

BERLIN, Jrty 3.

Authentic intelligence from Bohemia states that
Field-Marshal Benedek has found himself com-
pelled, in consequence of the dissolution of the
corps of General von Gablenz and the retreat of
the Austrian and Saxon troops, to abandon the
operations that he had commenced near Gitschin,
and to concentrate his army in a more distant
position.
