THE COMBAT AT TURBIGO

The Moniteur contains General M'Mahon's report of
an affair of considerable importance, which took place at
Tarbigo on the 3rd inst., the day before the battle of
Magenta. The report is to the following effect:--

him only the regiment of Algerine tirailleurs, his other
te'iments being still on the left bank of the•river, to take
.
three battalions of tirailleurs to Robechetto, and dispose
them in three attacking columns.
The three columns, marching at some distance from one
another, were at the word of command to converge on
Robecchetto, and on entering its chief street, which runs
from west to east, to turn on the east, so as to threaten the

While General de la Motterouge was proceeding to exe-
elite these movements with the regiment of Algerine
tirailleurs, I myself made the necessary arrangements for
Ae,,ll(ling up to him the other regiments of his division. The
Regt. of the line, being the 2nd Regt. of the Ist
"Ode, received orders to march in the path taken by the
Algerine tirailleurs. The second brigade, consisting of the
65th and 70th Regiments of the line, received a little later
its Orders to make for the village of Robecchetto by the
Castano-road, so asio flauklhe converging attack made by
