o'clock in the morning, sr..l that
continued their march at 3
they must have r.eached their destination by the time at
which I shoul.d have heen • prepared to send them to the
front again, Under such circumstances, it was necessary
to make‘ a retreat, and it was my aim to keep the corps
whiP:n were still ready for action intact, in order that they
'night protect the others.
Accordingly, at 5 in the morning, the gallant regiment
Grand Duke of Hesse once more stormed Ponte di Magenta,
in order to facilitate the retrogade movement. It was the
last effort of a brave regiment, says Lieut.-General Prince
Schwarzenberg in his report, which, on the preceding day
had had 25 officers wounded, and one staff officer and nine
captaina killed without once hesitating to attack, or without
displaying irresolution when repulsed.
The enemy, hiving been driven back to Magenta, an
orderly retreat was made. I believe I can confidently con-
clude that the enemy, in spite of his superiority, paid a
high price for the possession of Magenta, and that he will
do your Majesty's array the justice to acknowledge that it
did not yield to a brave and numerically superior force
until after an heroic contest. _ _

I am not able to give any nearer details concerning the
action, as, under the circumstances, timely returns from the
different troops could not be, required. I believe to be near
the truth in saying that we had between 4,000 and 6,000
killed and wounded, and that the enemy certainly had half
as many more- Lieutenant-General Baron Reischach was
shot through the hip, and Generals Lebzeltern and Durfeld
through the arm. I will not neglect to forward to your
Majesty a more detailed account as soon as the separate
reports have come, and to mention the names of those who
particularly distinguished themselves.
• GYULAI Feldzeugmeistir.
_ _ .

Head-quarters, Belgiojoso, June 6, 1859. -
It is almost impossible to give you a correct idea of the
impression which the foregoing bulletin has produced here.
For the moment the public appears to be stunned, but the
military world loddly expiesses

its indignation that th

bungler as Count Gyulai has proved himself to be. Such a
candid confession of incapacity as the foregoing has perhaps
never been made by the commander of an army. On, the
3rd. Count Gyulai learnt that a Dart of the Sardo-French

army had crossed ' the Ticino at Turbigo, and he sent

one division, to oppose • its further progress ; on the

following day. he is informed that strong bodies of the
enemy are advancing towards Magenta, and he leaves Count

mad cow d'arindeand,7,ooo of his own men,
to receive the shock, while he menaces the right flank of the
enemy with the 3rd and sth corps. In the afternoon, the
unskilful Feldzengmeister manages to bring the 3rd corps
into action, and towards evening one brigade of the sth
corps made its appearance on the fieldof battle. Instead of
immediately sending the division of Lieutenant=General
Lillia to the assistance of the " exhausted troops" of Clam

Clam, with the

and Liechenstein, Count Gyulai places ,it as ia reserve in
Corbetto. The commander of the second Austrian army
had two fresh corps (the sth and the Bth), and one division
at his disposal; but it was his wish to keep them "intact,"
and accordingly he, at five in the morning, of the sth inst.,
ordered a regiment, which had had 35 officers either killed
or wounded on the preceding day, once again to storm
Ponte - di' Magenta. Well 'might Prince Schwarzeii-
berg, the commander of Ow 3rd corps, remark,. that it
was " the final effort" of a gallant reginient
fact • that Count Clam and Prince Edward Leichten-
stein "took their, corps (the Ist and 2nd) .to the
rear, Without waiting for the criers of. Count
Gyulai, evinces his oontempt for his qualifications as a
Commander4n-Chief. "Never," said a veteran comman-
der to me 'a few hours ago, " was a great and gallant army
so badly handled." When in February last I wrote that
" faultless patent leather boots and well-Waxed moustaches
were the prominent characteristics of Count Gyulai." I
was accused of having maligned him, but people now com-
pliment me on my perspicucity. Authentic information
that the French are in Milan has not yetbeen received here,
bat it cannot be doubted that they are,' as the CoMmander
of the 2nd army was at Belgiojoso, on the road to Piacenza,
on the 6th inst. It is to be presumed that the whole army
is falling back on the Adda; as its so-called "'writing head-
quarters " are already at Lodi. It: is whispered in high
military circles that the city of Milan was shelled three or
four days ago, and much injured, but no perfectly authentic
news to that effect has been received here. Seine weeks
ago Louis Napoleon' told .his courtiers that the, actors of
the Theatre Francais should, give their first representation
at Milan ou the 10th June- and he may be able to keep his
word if '.they are now 'en route for Lombardy. We have
no news of Garibaldi; but it is probable that he has 'already
revolutioniSed the whole of the north-western part of. Loin-
bardy. According to advices received to-day from Trieste
a Turkish squadron has arrived at Bleck with troops. There
has been a great change in the Neapolitan Cabinet. ' 'An
Intendant has been placed at the_ head of the departments
of Public Works. General Filangieri and PrincelCasano
are Ministers of Police and Justice ad interim. The'Duke
of Serra Capriola is Minister with Out portfolio. •
