RUSSIAN OPINION OF THE BATTLE OF Ma

RUSSIAN OPINION OF THE BATTLE OF Ma
6ENTA.
From lie Nord, JuneS.
The battle OF Magenta has decided many
questions, and put an end TO many uncer-
tainties. This victory has burst on Europe
like clap of thunder.
A great engagement was expected, but
it was believed that we should see il ad-
vance in the distance, and, as 1t were, ex-
ecuted before our eyes. In the opinion Of
the Emperor Napoleon, this brilliant affair
was no doubt triumph skilllully ioreseen
and perseveringly prepared, while to the
Austrian General ii was surprise and
disaster.
When Gyulai believed that the main body
of the allied forces were nassed in the Sou h,
between Alessandria and the Apprentices, all
the Frances Sandman corps, by one OF the
finest movements recorded in military his
tory, rapidly advanced from the right flank
10 the extremely ofihe left, and it was only
at the last moment that the Austrian per-
ceived this change of position, and their
precipitate retreat shows that they under
stood the eminence Of the danger which
menaced them. Very little was wanting
to prevent Gen. Gyulai from getting out
of the Lomellina at all. Gen. Mel, whom
he supposed TO be occupied in the direction
Of the Lake, suddenly threw himself on No
vars,, and the French army crossed the IL
cino without meeting much resistance.
Then General Hess, sent in all haste by
the Emperor Francis Joseph 10 take the
command OF the Austrian army, threw all
the forces he had under his hand-l50 coo
men are spoken of-on the allied columns,
which debonched by the narrow passes TO-
wards the road which leads from Buffalorn
TO Milan. The shock was terrible and the
comba, most sanguinary. The result, sta
ted by telegraph, is deplorable for humani-
ty, but glorious for the French arms.
A. strange thing it is Gen. McMuho,n
whom the Austrians thought Lear the ridges
of the Apprentices, who must have decided
The victory by carrying the village of Ma
genta On the flank OF the enemy. The EN-
peror Francis Joseph, who, whilst his fine
army was being crushed and routed on the
banks Of the Ticino, was engaged in organ
izing the reinforcements which arrived from
Vienna, must now occupy himself in Sc
Letting the bleeding and scattered remnant
of one of the most formidable armies which
ever trod the soil of Upper Italy. ..-
GAR1BALDI's LATEST MOVEMENTS.
The latest accounts from Garibaldl rep
resent him as actively clearing the neigh
bcrhood of the two lakes of the, remainder
of D'Urban's bands, which have no chance
of returning. The main army driven from
the Ticino and Milan, The insurgents of the
Valteline- Lecco and Culabono were pro.
ceeding in great forcs to occupy the imPor-
tant pass of the Stelvio, which in summer
is one OF the main arteries by which rein
forcements might yet be sent into Lombar-
dy from the interior of Austria.
A letter says some Of Garibaldi's troops
are at Cameriata, having performed drod-
igies Of bravery before getting there. The
military position Of Lecco is
also in their power. BY means of it they
command the course of the AIDA, and can
protect the warlike populations of Rega-
nasco and Brescla. The moment will soon
arrive for occupying the gorges of the Stel-
vic Lionale, which form the communication
the Tyrol and Italy, which keep
Lombardy in check.
