FRENCH BULLETIN OF THE BAT ILE OF
SOLFERINO. •

The Monitear of Saturday contains the following
offi&al account of the battle of Solferino :
Headquarters, Cavriane, 28th.
After the battle of Magenta and the combat of Maleguano,
the Austrians precipitated their retreat on the Mincio, aban-
doning one after the other, the lines of the Adds, the Cello,
and the Chlesa. There wee every reason to believe that they
intended to concentrate ell their resistance behind the
Mincio, and it was important that the allied army rhould
occupy, se soon as poastbie, the principal poinMof the heigbte
which extend from Lomb) as far se Volta, and which form
oa the south of the Lake of Gardi an agglomeration of small
hills in many places very abrupt. The last repents received
by the Emperor Napoleon indicated is fact that the enemy
had abandoned these heights and retired behind the river.
According to • general order given by tbe Emperor of the
French on the evening of the 23rd, the army of the King of
Piedmont was to advance on Pozso'engo ; Marini Baragnay
d'Hilliers, on WWl= ; lilarsbal the Duke of Magenta, on
Canine; General Niel, on Guidirsolo • and Marshal Can.
robert, on Meade. The Imperial Guard was to march on
Csatlglione, and the two divisions of cavalry of the line to
take a position in the plain between Soiferino end Medola. It
had been decided that the moveneate should commence at
two o'clock in the morning, in order to avoid the excessive heat
of the day.
Nevertheless, during the 23rd, several detachments of the
enemy showed themselves on different points, and the Em-
peror hgd received notice of it ; but as the Austrians were la
the habit of makes( maroevong recoanaimences, hie Minty
only regarded thou demonstrations as a mart of the • Care
and attention which they gin to obtaining information and
protecting themselves.
At fire in the morning of the 24th, the Emperor, who was
at Montechiaro, heard the report of cannon in the and
proceeded in all haste toward. Castiglione, where the Imperial
Gard Win to assemble. Daring the night, the Anemia's
army, which had decided ea amuming the offensive, had
=tthe Minclo at Ooito, Valeggio, Monrambano sad
em and again occupied the waitrons which It bad re-
ceatly abandoned. Tide was the result of the plan the exe-
cution of which the enemy bad pursued from the time of
their leaving Magenta, by retiring succeasivtly from Piaceess,
Pizsighettona, Cremona, Ancona, Bologna, and Ferrara--
in a word, by evacuating every position in order to accumu-
late their forced on the blincto. Tiny had, besides, imitated
their army with the greater part of the troops composing the
garrisons of Verona, Mantua, and ?whiten; and
it was thus that they were able to assemble nine
corps d'armile, numbering altogether from 260,000 to
270,000 men, who advanced towards the Chien, covering
the plain and the height*. This immense force appeared to le
divided into two armies that on the right, according to
antes found after the battle on an Austrian officer, was to
take possession of Lomat° and Cutighone and that on the
Mt to march on Montechiare. The Austitans thought that
the whole of the allied army bad not yet crowed the Chimes,
end their intention wan drive it beck on the right beak of
that ricer. . . .

The two emu a, on their way one against the other, met
therefore cud lenly. Scarcely had Marshals Baregoay
and De hlschlahon passed Castiglione when they found
themselves in presence of considerable foram which opposed
their advance. At the same instant Generel Niel oncost's.
toted the Austrians near Models. The King's army, which
wee going to Pouching°, also met the Austrian to advance
of Rivoliells; and, on his part, Marshal Cenrobert found the
village of Castelgoffrodo occupied by the aewny's cavalry.

All the eorpa of the allied army being at the time on their
march et a somewhat cough-table distance one from the
other, the Emperor first of all directed hie attention to bring-
ing iron together, so that the might mutusgy support each
other. For that purpose his Majesty want immediately to
Marshal the Duke de Magenta, who was on the right in the
plain. and who had deployed perpendiculerly to the road
which leads from Castiglione to Goito. As Geared Niel did
sot yet appear, his Majesty bastard the march of the cavalry
of the leveed Guard, and placed It under the orders of the
Date de Magenta, a" • reserve to operate in the plea on the
right of the 2nd corps. Tbe Emperor, at the rme time, east
orders to Mended Canrobeet to support General Niel as much
as possible, whilst recommending him to guard himself on
the right against an Austrian meg, which, according to in-
f.:emelt:a given to hie 111.jemity, was to advance from Mantua
on Arlo.
These measures bring been taken, the Emperor repaired
to the height" in the ceatre of the line of battle, where
Marshal Baniesay too distant from the Sardinian
army to be able to act is co junction with it, had to struggle
in very Moult ground ageing troops which were inoteartly
renewed.
TM marshal had nevertheless strived at the foot of the
steep hill on which the village of Solfeggio is built. That
village was definded by retrievable forces, entrenched in an
old chateau and a large cemetery, both of which were sur-
rounded by thick and crenelated walla. The marshal had
shady lost a great number of men, and had had more than
once to expose himself by leading on the troops of Beeline's
and Ladmiraules divisions. Worn out with fatigue and
heat, and exposed to a heavy flee of musketry, theee troops
pined ground with much difficulty. At this moment the Em-
peror ordered Ferey's division to advance, one brigade on the
side of the plain, and the other on the height against the
rim* of (toilette°, and caused it to be suppeeted by Camou's
division of light infantry of the Guard. He cared to
advance with these troops the artillery of the Guard, which,
under the command of General de Savelinges and Greed
Lebreur, took up an uncovered position at about 300 metres
from the enemy. This manceorre decided the success fa
the centre. Whilst Ferry's division seized on the orrery,
and General Barge dashed his troops forward into the
village, the light Infantry and rifler= of the Imperial
Guetd climbed up to the foot of the tower commanding the
chateau, and possessed themselves of it. The little hills near
&Eerie° were successively carried, and at half-peat three
the Austrians evacuated the positioe, under the tiro of our
artillery placed on the create, and left in our hands 1,530 pi.
source It pieces of cameo, and 2 colours. The share of the
Imperial Grid in this glorious trophy was 13 guns and
1 color.
Whilst this conflict was going on, and whilst the fire was
the heaviest, four Austrian columns, advancing between the
King's army and the corps of Marshal Bareguay
endeavoured to turn the right of the riedrounlese. Six
pieces of artillery, however, ably directed by General For-
ret, had openedteem heavy fire on the flank of these
columns. and forced diem to retrace their steps in disorder.
Whilst the corps of Marshal Baragnay d'Hilliers was
retaining the conflict at Selferso, the carps of the Duke de
Magenta had deployed in the plain of °midi:role, ie advance
of the farm Car Marino, anti his line of bottle, cutting*,
road to Mantua, directed It. right towards Medola. At nine
o'clock in the morning he was attacked by •strong Austrian
column, preceded by • numerous artillery, which placed
itself in battery at 1,000 or 1,200 yards in advance of our
front. The artillery of the first two divisions of the 2nd corn%
adverting immediately on the line of skirmishers, opened a
very sharp tire against the front of the Augrians and at the
rue Instant the horse batteries of Perdue*. and Perton-
neser's division' took the enemy's cannon, en Eater" re-
duced them to glam, and anon forced them to fall beak.
Immediately after DeiVaUtial and Partouneares divisions
charged the Artemis, and took 600 pismire.
Meantime a column of two regiments of Austrian cavalry
had endeavoured to tarn the left of the 2nd corps, and the
Doke of Magenta directed against it BIZ squadrons of light
dragoons. Three successful chervil of our cavalry replied
that of the enemy, who left in our hands • greet number of

men and
At half-put two the Duke de Magenta assumed the offen-
sive In his tura, sad ordered General de la Motterougo to
advance on his belt, cu the side of Solferino In or& r to carry
San Cas-lone sad the other poeil ions occupied by the enemy.
The village wee turned on both 'ides, and carried with ir-
resistible vigour by the Algerian riflemen and the 45th. The
riflemen were immediately after sent against the principal
counterfort, which unites Cavriana with San Comtism, and
which was defended by considerable forces. A first height,
crowned bye kind of redoubt, speedily fell Into the posses-
sion of the sharpshooters, but the enemy, by a vigorous
ofienaire return, succceded in dislodging them. They took It
again with the aid of the 45th and 7' d, and were driven out
once more. To support this attack, General de la Motterouge
was obliged to march up his brigade of reserve, and the Duke
of Magenta Weaned his whole arm'.
At the some time the Emperor gave orders to filanique's
brigade of voldgenre of the Guard, eupported by General
Hellistet's grenadiers, to advance from Solferiso against
Combust. The enemy woo usable any longer to resist this
double attack, supported by the fire of the artillery of the
Guard, and about fire In the evening, the voltigeurs sad
Algerian sharpshooters entered at the some time the village of
Caresses.
At that moment a fearful storm, which burst over the two
armies, obscured the sky, and suspended the struggle: but
as coon as the rain bad ceased, the Fr. nub troops resumed
the openttions commenced. and drove the enemy loom all the
heights omomendlug the village. SOOO after, the tire of the
artillery of the Guard changed the retreat of the Austrians
into a precipitate Right.
During this Weir the horse chameure of the Guard, who
fleshed the Duke of Magenta's right, had to charge the
Austrian cavalry, which threatemed to turn it.
At half-peat 6 the eatery war retreraing in all directions.
Hut though the battle was won to the centre, when the
French troops had never ceased to gain ground, the right and
left still remained behind. However, the troops of the 4th
cage hod also taken en important and glorious part In the
bottle of Solferleo.
Leaving CArpenedolo et three o'clock in the encasing, they
were marching on Medola, supported by the cavalry of the
Deevsux and Petaluma: divisions, when, at about two
kilometres from Idedols, the squedrons of shaman which
preceded the oorps met the Wens. They charged them with
itepetoosity, but were checked by the enemy's infantry sad
iaelseep, which defended the village. General de Lozy im-
mediately took measures for an attack. Whilst be sent two
columns to turn Bfedola on the right and lett, be advanced on
the front Newel?, preceded by hi. artillery, which kept up a
Ike on the Tiflis*. This sue* esecated with great vigour,
