, Austrian Accounts Of the Battoe Of Monteoello.
The Vienna Gazette publishes the official re
mort. by General Count Gyulai, of the actor
at Monticello. After referring to the posi-
ton Of his troops, his reconnoissances or
the right bank of the Pc, and his anxiety t.
force the enemy to show his strength, Gen
Gyulai says:
AS soon as the enemy had hastily evacua
ted Montebcllo. Lieutenant Field Marshal Cr
ban pushed on to Genestrello, where he FOUND
the enemy in superior force, and encountered Q
sanguinary defence, which, however, the brave
layers of the Eighth and Fourth battalions o.
the regiments IIessc and Don Miguel bravcly
overcome, and, despite considerable loss, took
possession of the heights and Place of Genes
%trel!o. The enemy. however, soon displayed q
s%uperior' force, which was continually increaS
inr bv arrivals by the railway, so that
/ Lieutenant Field Marshal Urban's and Gaars
brigade, which had come to his assist
ance. were compelled, after great loss, but heroic
sighting. to fall back on Montebeilo. Meantime
Lieutenant Field Marshal Stadion had brought
mn B:rs brigade and ~liesSe's brigade closer to
the right wing Of the line Of battle. The enemy
now displayed an overwhelming force against
Major Gen. Ciaal and Gen. Braun. with one
battalion of HeSSc and one battalion of Ross
bach. After an obstinate fight Montcbello was
evacuated. The enemy who had suffered
considerably, was kept in check by the good
appearance of otir troops, and by the position
taken by Brigadicr Bis reserve, and made no
purStlit. The corps. scarcely molcSted in
ca>trgsion, reached the tetedy poHt at nlghtfall.
and on the 2lSt halted on the other hank OF
the Pc.
according tothc reports, which are not yet
complete. tho following troops were engaged at
Gcncstrcllo under Lieut.. Field Marshal Urban:
The third battalion Of Jagers; the third bat
talon Of Don Miguel; two battalions of Ross
bach; one grenadier battalion, ~llcsse, two six
Founders, four twclve-poundcrS, of the eighth
regiment. and Il division of Ilaller's l~Iussars.
1t was here the fight was most sanguinary and
the greatest loss incurred, the enemy being
three times our strength. At Monticello the
troops engaged were: two and a half compa-
mics of Rossbach; one battalion GrcnadierS;
second battalion OF IleSscS infantry; two bat
talions .Archdukc Charles Infantry; one bat
talon Granger; one squadron ~llalleI's ~lluSsar>;
four six Founders and two twelve Founders.
The troops engaged at Gcncstrello, when they
retreatcd, came upon a superior force Of the
enemy, and had To sustain Il second encounter.
The Prince of llesse, who commanded the
Regiment Culoz, CrraRsylvanians) n battalion
Of Xobcl recruits Of Arad, in Hungary and
three SuuairouS of Sicily ~lanccrs. engaged the
enemy at Calcabhabbio, a little to the West Of
CaSsatiSma. and CaSS0ve dc LnnSi. Several
times during the action onr infantry attacked
the e%nelny'S cavalry with the bayonct, and
threw them into disorder. II also repeatedly
happened that the troops. when advancing to
the attack, reserved their fire until they were
within thirty PAGES Of the enemy. The hussars
and lanccrs made the most dextcrous use of
their different weapons. As orr artillery adj
yanccd quite close TO the enemy, its effect was
quite terrible. Very few of orr men were
wounded by the cannon Of the enemy. who
fired over their heads. The cnemy's infantry
fired well. The report relative to his cavalry
is less favorable. 1t was not equal to our
hussars and lanccrs, and avoided every serious
attack.
at appears that we were opposed to the
whole corps Gdrmec Of paraguay dllillicrs and
a picdmontrse brigade. According to the re-
ports received the French had twelve regiments
Of the line, some battalions Of Chasscurs, and
one regiment Of cavalry in action, and the Sar-
dinianS one brigade and the cavalry regiment
"N0yara." The reserves, which were very
powerful. were continually reinforced. Field
Marshal Lieutenant Stallion estimates the force
Of the enemy at {, 1000 men at least. The sa-
criiicc Of life was great, but the information ac-
Quired by the reconnaissance is extremely salts
factory. | am still in expectation Of the de-
tailed reports. Count Stadion speaks highly
ofthe bravery Of all the troops engaged. When
the detailed reports are sent in ] will make
known to your majesty the names Of the per-
sons who particularly distinguished themselves.
unfortunately the sacrifice Of life during
this glorious battle was very great. Six hun
drcd wounded men, twenty Of whom were Off
GERS, were brought to Pavia. Major Buttncr.
of the general staff, which was on a special
mission at Yaccarizza, and took part in the ex-
petition, and Major CanteS, Of the third jaeger
battalion, were killed. Lieutenant Colonel
>piclbcrgcr, and Major Piers, (this officer, who
had his arm shot OIL, was probably taken pri-
soncr by the French Of the "Archduke
Charles, are probably dead, as they fell wound
cd OH the field of battle.
ii am proud to be able to say that the troops
have, by their spirit and courage, proved that
they are worthy Of yonr majeSty's favor, and
any expression Of satisfaction OH the part Of
their illustrious Emperor and Commander will
be an incentive to glorious deeds"
