THE EMPEROR TO THE EMPRESS.
MAGENTA, JUNE 5.

Yesterday our army was under orders to march
on Milan across the bridges over the Ticino at
Turbigo. . The operation was well executed,
although the enemy, who had repassed the Ticino
in great force, offered a most determined resistance.
The roadways were narrow, and during two hours
the Imperial Guard sustained unsupported the
shock of the enemy. In the meantime General
Macmahon made himself master of Magenta. After
sanguinary conflicts we repulsed the enemy at
every point with the loss on our side of about
2,000 men placed hors de combat. The loss of the
enemy is estimated at 15,000 killed and wounded.
5,000 Austrian prisoners remained in our hands.

arrives less regularly than it would otherwise do.

should be on its guard against all intelligence,. of
whatever nature.
