The Moniteur of yesterday (the 4th) publishes
the reports of the commanders of the several
corps d'arinee engaged in the battle of Solferino.
They are all addressed to the Emperor, and
give in minute detail the movements of each
corps during the day ; they do not add any
fact of importance to the official report of the whole
battle, published by the French Government on the
previous day. 'Marshal Regnaud de St. Jean d'An-
gely, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard,
especially notices the effective service done by the
artillery of his corps ; he says, " The Artillery of
the Guard distinguished itself by the precision of
its fire and the successive ;choice of its positions.
Whenever it had to encounter the enemies bat-
teries, it very soon silenced them." The losses sus-
tained by the Guard are not stated in the report.
Marshal Baraguay D'Hilliers, Commander of the
Ist Corps, after describing its successes, adds that
" they were not obtained without serious loss."
Two Generals, Ladmirault and Dieu, were wounded
" dangerously," and General Forey slightly ; four
Colonel—Taxis, Brincourt, Pinard, and Barry, are
wounded ; also four Lieutenant-Colonels Valet,
Moire, Hemar, and Sevier. A Lieutenant-Colonel,
Ducoin, and four chefs de bataillon—Kleber, Saint-
Paer, Angenin, and Guillaume, are killed. Ten
chefs de bataillon are wounded. The total number
of officers killed and wounded in the Ist Corps is
234 ; of privates about 4,000. Marshal M'Mahon
describes the loss of the 2d Corps as "unfortunately
very heavy ; it could not be otherwise." General
Auger, Commander of the Artillery of the Corps, had
his arm torn off at the beginning of the engagearient
by a cannon ball : three Colonels, Douay, Laure, and
Herment, are killed; the total of officers killed is 19;

3,417 privates wounded ; 7 officers and 541 men
aro returned as missing. The report of the Sar-
dinian army states that all the four divisions of
which it is composed were engaged, and that its
loss is 49 officers killed and 167 wounded, 642
privates killed an.d 3,405 wounded, 1,258 missing.
In one division three colonels were killed, and sonic

A letter from Marseilles of July 2, says
is with extreme regret that I have to call your at-
tention to the misconduct of the authorities in
Marseilles and in Paris towards certain Austrian
officers, prisoners of war. Nineteen Austrian offi-
cers, taken prisoners at the battle of Magenta, gen-
tlemen by education, feelings, and position, and
whose bravery on the field of battle won the un-
grudging admiration of their opponents, were
brought here nearly a fortnight ago, in the mer-
chant steamer Ville de Lyons. Three of their num-
ber were allowed to leave for some town in the in-
terior a few days back, but the remaining 16 are still
kept close prisonurs on board the steamers under
the most stringent regulations and offensive
conditions imaginable. The Ville de Lyons is
moored in the loasin of the Joliette, the waters of
which are so charged with putrescible substances as
to be the colour of port wine, and thicker than the
sewage of the Thames in its foulest state. The
stench which arises from the surface of the basin
is the vilest that ever offended the nostrils of
man, proceeding from the admixture of city drain-
age with sea water, and which chemists call,
I believe, " sulphuretted. hydrogen." The Medi-
terranean being a tideless sea, the filth stag-
nates and intensifies in the basin, from which
there is no proper outlet, until it fills the air with
the seeds of nan sea and disease. Yet in the midst
of this polluted atmosphere the Austrian prisoners
are kept waiting until it may please the French.
Minister—whether of War or of the Interior I know
not—to narle the town where they are to reside.
Surely so -simple a matter does not require a fort-
night to settle. The Austrian officers have not
yet 'oeen allowed their parole, and, seeing the delay
ta,',Ken by the Minister in giving the permission,
'they applied to th.eGeneral in command atMarseilles
for leave to walk on shore two hours a day at any
period he might appoint, in order that they
might breathe a purer air, and take the exercise
necessary for the preservation of their health. But
the General has not yet condescended to favour
them with t-L reply—an unmannered act which will
excite as m ach indignation in France as in the rest
