DAY'S NEWS.
Probably the most important announcement this
morning is the arrival in London of Prince Esterhazy,
who is charged with an extraordinary mission from
the Austrian Government, having reference, it is
supposed, to a settlement of the Italian question, and
a termination of the war.

Just as we were going to press yesterday morning
we received an important telegram giving a very
brief outline of the engagement which is reported to
have taken place at Magenta, on Saturday, and
whieh gave a decided victory to the allied armies.
A succession of telegrams were received during the
day, and which we published in extra editions as
they arrived. They simply gave, however, confirma-
tion of the brief facts contained in the first announce -
ment. The Paris lioniteur yesterday gives the most
circumstantial account of the affair in the form of a
despatch from the Emperor Napoleon to the Empress.
This document states that on ..ntlirda, +l-m .11:-,7

army was undt to march on Milan, across
the bridges thrown over the Ticino, at Turboga. It
states that the operation was well executed, although
the enemy, who had repassed the Ticino in great
force, offered a most determined resistance. The
despatch proceeds : " The roadways were narrow,
and, during two hours, the Imperial Guard sustained,
unsupported, the shock of the enemy. In the mean-
time, General M'Mahon made himself master of
Magenta, and, after sanguinary conflicts, he repulsed
the enemy at every part, with the loss on our side of
about 2,000 men placed hors de conibat." This despatch
repeats the loss of the Austrians at 15,000 in killed
and wounded, and 5,000 prisoners. Another telP,_
received from Magenta, and dated Sunday evening,
states that the French loss was 3,000 in 1-4"--3
wounded. • • • -

more than 100,000 men. The same authority says,
This victory lays open the capital of Lombardy,
which probably the allies entered on Sunday. The
loss of the allies is reported to be from 7,000 to
8,000 men. The carnage is believed to have been
terrible. Every one remarks the comparatively
enormous amount of the killed and wounded, as
given in the despatch, as well as the remarkable
disproportion between the prisoners and the casualties
by death or wounds. Whilst we were writing
the foregoing, we received another telegram from
the head-quarters of the allies, and also an cifi (4,11
