MARSHAL CANROBERT AND MARSHAL
NIEL.
(From the ,1110 niteur.)
The marshal commanding the 3d corps of the
Army of Italy has objected to a passage in the re-
port of the battle of Solferino, addressed to the
Emperor by the commander of the 4th corps. His
Majesty has ordered the insertion of the following
note :

It is said in this passage that the 3d corps only
gave its support to the 4th towards the end of the
day. Nevertheless, upon his arrival at the village
of Medola, Marshal Canrobert sent the first troops
of Renault's division by the Ceressa road for the
purpose of covering the right flank of the 4th corps.
The presence of these troops had, therefore, as its
result, from ten o'clock in the forenoon, to remove
from General Niel all apprehension as to the attacks
he might have to fear on his right flank, which was
only guarded by three of his battalions. It is just,
therefore, to acknowledge that Marshal Canrobert
had already given useful support to the 3d corps,
before the hour when Renault's division came and
occupied the village of Rebecco in order to enable
General Niel to withdraw from it a part of Luzy's
division, at the same time that the first brigade of
Trochu's division was fighting in tne midst of the
troops of the 4th corps. Besides, General Niel
could not have the intention, in' his report to the
Emperor, to incriminate in any way the conduct of
Marshal Canrobert, whose chivalrous character is
well known.

THE VILLAFRANCA PRELIMINARIES.
A letter from Frankfort-on-Maine says :—" The
mystery of Villafranca still engages public at-
tention, and the parties to •it seem determined to
baulk the hopes of an explanation. It may, there-
fore, not be amiss to place with some detail the
progress of events before your readers. On my ac-
curacy they may rely. On the 4th of Julythe pro-
posal of a basis of mediation, now known as the
seven points, was communicated to Lord John
Russell by Count Persigny. Lora John refused to
recommend the project, but agreed to communicate
it to Austria, simply and without comment. On
the sth he therefore laid it before Count Ap-
pony i, by whom it was made known in Vienna on
the 6th. On the 7th the French Minister in
Berlin applied to Baron von Schleinitz to propose
an armistice, at the same time proposing terms on
which mediation might be entered on. These
terms contained four points (not seven), and were
identical with those afterwards-agreed to by the
Emperor of Austria, with the exception that
Venetia was to be erected into an independent
duchy for the Archduke Maximilian. Baron von
Schleinitz at once refused to entertain the project
of a mediation on this basis, and took time to -con-:"
sider the propriety of proposing an armistice.
