under Marshal ID. ililliers, began the engage
mcnt before Soierino
The heights and village were occupied af-
ter sanguinary combat, During this time
the second corps d'armec Marshal McHoris,
which was on the right of the first corps in
the plain, extended itself TO the right to ioin
the column Of Marshal Neil, which was
marching upon Medale
The Emperor had taken command o. the
whole army His majesty caused the Inian-
try and artillery Of the guard to advance and
place themselves between the first and Sec
ond corps, and then, in order to reinforce the
right Of AlCMahon's command, which was a
little exposed in consequence of the distance
sep rating them, and the troops of Gen. Neil,
his majesty sent all the cavalry of the guard
end two divisions of cavalry Of the first and
third corps up. Canrobcrt had been charged
to watch the movements Of the Austrians ex-
pccted on the side Of Mantua. During the
whole day they fought, advancing slowly,
but always in good order, the corps going up
towards each other
The first corps after taking possession Of
Solferno, Aezed all the positions, one after
the other. In Pozzolongo, night alone stop
ped their career. The guard sieaed San
Cassialo, and Cayanno, without losing time.
The last village was carried with great spirit,
under the eyes of the emperor, who himself
directed the fire of the artillery.
There was IA time, when, to cover their re-
treat, the Austrians made desperate effort
to place themselves between the 4th and ID
corps. A fierce struggle occurred. The
Infantry and Artillery took part in the con-
llict, and the cavalry, by several charges de-
cided the success Of the day. This was the
last act Of the battle. The Austrians began
to retreat along the whole line. Their re-
treat was favored by dreadful storm which
lasted for more than an hour. The thunder,
hail and wind produced such an effect that
nothing could be distinguished on the field
OF battle. When the weather improved, the
enemy had disappeared, and tho direction
they took was seen when their columns had
attained some distance.
