The Battle of Custozza.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)
VIENNA, June 30.
The Archduke Albrecht has addressed to the Em-
peror a report of the battle of Custozza, of which
the following arc the principal passages :

"The cavalry brigade of Col. Pultz had orders to
retire slowly by Villafranca to Verona, and to avoid
any serious engagement, but at the same time to
remain continually in contact with the enemy.
" It is known that our adversary had not observed
the delay of three days, fixed by himself, for the
commencement of hostilities, for on June 21 he had
already commenced erecting a bridge at Molina di
Volta, near Pozzolo, without being impeded from
our side.

" On the 22d June the enemy, not without some
hesitation passed the Mincio near Goito, Pozzolo,
Valeggio, and Monzambano. On the morning of
the 23rd day of June the detachments of the
Pulz brigade evacuated Villafranca after having
collected together all other detachments stationed
to the south. The enemy occnpied Villafranca only
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon by Bersaglieri, and
threw strong columns of cavalry, with artillery, in
the direction of Dossobuono, where towards 4 o'clock
some cannon shots were exchanged with our cavalry
brigade, which had encamped during the night of
the 23rd and 24th of June near Fort Gislea.
Staff Colonel Baron von Ruber, sent out to re-
connoitre on the morning of the 23rd, announced
to me at 2 o'clock from Somma Compagna that that
point as well as the neighbouring mamilons to the
south were not occupied by the enemy, but that
long lines of dust to the south of Villafranca indicated
the enemy's march towards the east.

I, therefore, took the resolution to occupy that
same day the heights between Somma Campagna
and Sandra.

The brigade under Colonel Prince Von Saxe
Weimar, belonging to the reserve division of cavalry,
advanced towards Sandra, with orders to send de-
tachments as far as Castelnuovo. The sth Corps
marched on Sona and pushed forward outposts to-
wards Zerbare. In the same manner the 9th
Corps took up a position on the 23d at Santa Lucca,
and the 7th Corps at Massimo. These two corps
had to guard these positions during the night, not-
withstanding that the 7th Corps in particular had
during the day effected, in an overpowering heat,
the fatiguing march from San Bonifacio to San
Massimo. At three, on the morning of the 24th,
the 9th Corps advanced in a straight line upon
Somma Compagna, while the 7th Corps, intended
to servo as its reserve, took the direction of Sona.
The sth Army Corps received orders to occupy
early San Giorgio in Sallee, maintaining, at the
same time, its position at Sona until the arrival of
the 7th Corps, while the division of infantry would
occupy Castelnuovo. Eight squadrons were taken
from the cavalry regiments belonging to the diffe-
rent army corps to reinforce, under the orders of
Colonel Beganovics, the Pulz brigade, which was
under instructions to advance on the 24th on the
left wing of the 9th Corps towards Custozza, and
thus to cover the left flank of the army.
The enemy, who had occupied during the night
of the 23d Villafranca, Custozza, Monte Mamaor,
and Montevento, and pushed forward his left wing
as far as Castlenuovo, must have been apprised of
our army having marched from Verona, for at the
break of day his outposts had been advanced on the
line from San Roccodi di Palezzuolo to Fenile Corte
and Oliosi. This last point especially was strongly
occupies. The successive appearance of large
columns on Mount Vento, Mount Mamaor, Mount
Godio, etc., as well as the array of masses of
cavalry and infantry near Villafranca, and to the
south of Somma Compagna, proved to me that the
enemy, finding himself in front of the whole Aus-
trian army of operation, had recalled all his columns
previously sent out towards the east.
At about seven in the morning a heavy artillery
fire began, while the reserve division upon the right
wing near Alzarea, the sth corps to the east of San
Giorgio in San Salice, and the 9th Corps at Somma
Campagna and Zerbare came into action. Our
artillery fire was maintained with coolness and ad-
mirable precision, and produced a considerable
effect, although the enemy successively brought into
line a superior number of pieces.
" I ordered the 9th Corps to maintain itself, under
all circumstances, at Somma Campagna and upon
the heights of Casa del Sola, and to push forward
vigorously, should it be possible, towards Custozza
by way of Staffalo. The gap between the 9th and
the sth Corps was filled by the brigade of General
Scudier of the 7th corps. The sth Corps and the
reserve division had orders to advance, to former
by Rocco di Palazzolo, the latter towards Oliosi.
These troops acquitted themselves of their task in
a brilliant manner. The Piret brigade of the sth
Corps and the reserve infantry division carried the
village of Oliosi, set on fire by our artillery, not-
withstanding the desperate resistance of the enemy,
and the murderous fire of several batteries esta-
blished upon Monte Vento.
" The two other brigades of the sth Army Corps
under General Maring and Colonel Bauer carried
the farms of Corte and of San Rocco di Palazzolo,
and the the Scudier brigade of the 7th Corps ad-
vanced in a continuous and severe struggle from
Zerbare towards Monte Godio. Lastly, the Taply
brigade, and subsequent the Welsersheim brigade
of that army corps were able to enter the line to
participate with overwhelming ardour in the
sanguinary combats for the possession of Monte
Godio.

" Between one and three in the afternoon one
brigade of the sth Corps carried Monte Vento, and
the two others, after a most desperate struggle,
gained possession of Santa Lucia and Monte Mamar.
During this time the reserve division reached
Salionze and pushed forwards towards Vallegio.
Notwithstanding all the efforts of the 9th and 7th
Army Corps they were unable to succeed in carry-
ing Custozza up to three in the afternoon.
" The troops being exhausted, partly by the
burning heat and the fatigue of the struggle, I gave
them a short rest, and:subsequently ordered the 7th
Army Corps, reinforced by a brigade of the sth
Corps, to make a last attempt to carry Custozza,
defended by the enemy with stubborness and great
bravery. Before, however, my order had arrived,
the 7th corps efficaciously supported by the well-
maintained fire of the pieces of the 9th Army Corps
placed at Casa del Sole, had gained possession of
Monte Arabita, and Belvedere. There still re-
mained then the difficult task of taking Custozza
and Monte Torre, and of repulsing the continual
and very violent attacks of the enemy against the
9th Corps at Somma Campagna and Casa del Sole.
" The enemy, led by the Princes Humbert and
Amadeus, attempted with picked troops to advance
to Naffalo and hold Custozza, but the 9th Corps
energetically repulsed every attack, and ultimately,
to wards 7 p.m., the 7th Army Corps, supported by
the brigade of the sth Corps, succeeded in carrying
Custozza. The Pultz reserve cavalry, with the
eight squadrons of Colonel Beagnovics, had main-
tained with various fortune a series of combats from
4 o'clock in the morning until the fall of night.
These valiant troops, who, under their excellent
chief, performed prodigies of valour and devotion,
sustained considerable losses, owing mainly to the
impetuosity of their attacks.
" At nightfall the two cavalry brigades were with-
drawn behind Dossobuono. As late as 9 o'clock
artillery fire was heard in the direction of the 9th
Corps and the Pultz brigade. The enemy had by
this time abandoned further resistance, and
clouds of dust towards Goito and Valeggio pointed
out his line of retreat upon the Mincio. It would
be impossible to deny to the enemy the testimony
of having fought with obstinacy and bravery; his
first attacks in especial were impetuous, and his
of-
ficers set their men good examples.
" The enemy, brought into line of battle under
the eyes of the King and the orders of Princes
Humbert and Amadeus—the latter of whom was
wounded—the complete army corps of D urando and
Della Rocco ; also, as reported by prisoners, a
strong force of the Cucharia army corps and
several cavalry regiments, in all nearly 11 divisions
of infantry, being a force of about 100,000 men,
and almost all his reserve artillery, but it was ira-

possible for him to resist the tried and persevering
bravery of the Imperial troops.
" Our losses in killed and wounded are not small,
owing to the impetuous dash of our troops. I am
unable to state the figures until I receive detailed
reports. According to an approximate estimate we
have made about 3,000 prisoners, many of whom
are officers. We have also captured some guns, but
the number is not yet certain.
" It is my opinion that the splendid victory of
Custozza will have all the more effect as symptoms
of demoralisation were visible in the Italian army
towards evening after the capture of Custozza,
many of the prisoners not having tasted food for 48
hours.

"In retreating beyond the Mincio the enemy
burnt the fine bridge of Valleggio, where he left
500 wounded. He evacuated Villafranca the same
night, and also abandoned a great number of
wounded there."

ELECTION COMMIT TEES.—This Day.

HELSTONE.

This election committee assembled to-day to in-
quire into the merits of thepetition presented against
the sitting member, who, it will be recollected, was
declared elected by a majority of 1, the contest
it was alleged being decided by the casting vote of
the returning officer. The committee decided that
the vote was not in fact given for the sitting
member. Another voter for the sitting mem-
ber having been found disqualified, the result
was that Mr. Brett was placed in a majority, and
the committee accordingly came to the conclusion
that the sitting member, Mr. Campbell, had been
anduly elected, and that therefore the seat in the
House of Commons belonged to Mr. Brett, to whom
they awarded it.

REFORMERS OF WESTiVIINSTER are
respectfully informed that at the Annual Meeting
of the Westminster Liberal Registration Society, the fol-
lowing Resolution was adopted:—" That for the purpose
of extending the objects of this Society, and thereby of

sentatives of Liberal Principles, this meeting be adjourned

minster Reformers, of all shades of opinion, shall be in-
vited to attend such adjourned meeting, by advertisements
