required from France

VIENNA, June 11

—The official telegram, an analysis of

Iwhich was given in the postscript to my letter of yesterday,

runs as follow

VERONA, June 10, Noon.—A part of the Imperial Royal
army, after having offered the most glorious (ruhmvollste)
resistance to the superior forces of the enemy, on the 4th, at
Magenta, remained on the right bank of the Adda until the
9th inst. On the Bth, the division Urban, at Canonica, and
the Bth corps d' armee (under Benedek) at Melegnano, had
sanguinary engagements with the rapidly advancing forces
of the enemy. The losses incurred are rot yet known.
The enemy, whose forces (considerably superior to our
own) are completely united, appears to intend to push
forward from Milan), where he has his left wing, with the
gros of his army. The Imperial Royal army, yielding to
such a superior force, has quitted the Adda in order to be
nearer to its reinforcements and reserves (rers arkungen
send recerren). The army, which'is in the best condition,
has lost none of its courage and steadiness, and it longs, in
a decisive battle, to give the enemy new proofs of it
bravery

foregoing information was rendered somewhat more

complete by the cursory notice yesterday evening given by

the Oesterreichische Cor►•espondenz, that the army
tinuing its retreat behind the Adda, had its head-quarters
at Cavatigozzi, above Cremdna, on the 9th instant." It is
that Generaltrban is endeavouring to make good.
