Gen, Dien is reported among the dead
The Austrians had seven or eight Generals

Some of the French Infantry regiments were

The Piedmontese suffered so severely az to
be incapable Of forming again in the line Of
battle
The Vienna correspondent Of the London
Times writing on the 28th says that some
days must elapse before the complete returns
OF the losses Of the Austrians could be receiy-
ed.
The same writer says that the Italian regi-
ments in the Austrian army have become very
difficult TO manage. The men desert bv scores
and fftics. In the neighborhood of Trieste

TO despatch the garrison at Vienna to the seat
Of war.
Enormous masses Of French soldiers are
marching into Piedmont via Nice and Mount
Cents

His head quarters were at Nallengro where
Prince Napoleon was expected to arrive on
the Both ult

The Austrian official report of the battle
Bozzolong0, SolferinG and Carecana The left
wing marched on the Oath to Gudizzido and
Castle Colfredo, and repulsed the advancing
enemy on all sides As the Imperial army
continued its advance towards CHEZ the enc
my, who had also assumed the offensive with
his whole force, pushed forward such large
bodies Of troops that there was q general en-
gagement between the two armies at 10 o'clock
or thereabOuts ON the morning Of the 21th,-
The right wing which was ler@,ea OF the sec,
oud army under Goout pchlloh mhlhIlhcu
,nc position which 1t had originally occupied
in the first line of battle until two o'clock p
NJ, and the first army's left wing under Count
Whmpiton continually gained ground in the
direction of Chiese.
Towards O'Clock The enemy made a vehe-
ment attack on Soferino, and after several
hours hard fighting obtained possession of
the place, which had been previously defend
ed by the fifth corps darmee
An attack was then made on Cavriaua,
which place was eourageously defended until
evening by the lst and 9TH corps dannie, but
was eventually left in thehands of the enemy
While the struggle for Solferino and Cavri-
ana was going on, the 9Th corps d'armie, which
was ON the out flank right wing, advanced and
repulsed the Sardiaian troops opposed to it,
but this advadtage did not enable the lmpe
rial army to recover the positions that had
been lost.
in the centre, the Sd and 9th corps, which
were supported by the llth corps, were en-
gagged on the left wing, and the reserve cav
airy attached to this wing made several most
brilliant attacks.
Unusually heavy losses aud the fact that
the left wing Of the first army was unable to
make progress on the right flank Of the enc
my, who directed his main force IN the oontre
against Volta, led to the retreat OF the Impe-
| rial army. II began late in the evening du-
ring a very violent storm
The correspondent Of the London Herald
says that 80 little did the French expect a
battle at ! o'clock the previous night, that n
letter from the King asking for support in
case he shpuld be attacked was met with a
refusal on tho ground that an attack by the
Austrians was not probable. At daybreak,
however the corps Of Marshal d'liilliers came
in sight of Solferino, and was Immediately
set upon by large Austrian force, which
rushed down the hill and fought with the
greatest fury. The Marshal resisted the at
tack to the best of his power, and sent off his
Aid-de-Camp for support, but II wac not be-
fore three hours VI frightfpl carnage had
elapsed that the corps of Gen. Neil made it's
appearance, The Austrlans were slowly
driven back, and every now and then there
was Il pause, and the French continued to
gain ground. Heaps Of their own and their
enemies cOrpsos marked the fluctuations
Of the fight The Austraps were thus slowly
driven out Of S9lferipp, but all Of a sudden
they made tremendous burst forward aud
the French were driven dawa the hill, being
admirably supported by their artillery
However, they made stand and commenced
once more to advance. II was like a hail
storm Of bullets and balls, and whole eplls
were thrown down by y aiHgle discharge
In the meantime IAe Austriaps were getting
decidedly the best of H. The Piedmontese
