HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED IN PARIs-CoMMENTs OF
THE FRENCH PRESS.
Correspondence of the London Herald
PARIS, June 6-Whatever doubts NAV have been
entertained ofthe strategic capacity ofthe Emperor
OF the French they are now triumphantly answered.
The Austrians have been fairly met, completely
outnaneuvred, and utterly routed by the COM
Dlned armies of France and Piedmont, and the
whole of Lombardy, from the Ticino to the Min
clo, IS now in the power of the victorious army-
we have no details yet of the battle of Magenta

detalis. The Austrians have precipitately fed
from Milan; Gyuai's army is utterly routed:2O 900
Austrian corpses heaped along the banks of the
Ticino and the Grand Canal The victors are
encountered with prisoners, and they have taken

French has now two courses open to him to win a
reputation that no conqueror has yet achieved, by
1uihihng his promise, or to rival the fame of his
uncle by becoming another Attila. To speculate
upon future events when they depend upon the will
OF single man. is mere waste of time time alone
can show whether the victory of the 4th of June is
to be nut the hrst step towards the realization of
the long cherished project of avenging Waterloo
converting Italy into French dependency and the
Mediterranean into French lake AS it is, Aus
trla can offer but feeble resistance unless the
whole OF Germany rushes to the rescue, and Ma
poleon lila has the destnes of Southern Europe in
his hands, This is the great fact of the day and
any attempt of the European Governments to de-
lude themselves with false hopes on the subject will
only prepare for them surprise as sudden and as
terrible as that which has just befallen the House
of Hapsburg.
The consequences of this victory were not known
last night. Only the brief bulletin teegrapbed by
the Emperor had been published and that very
late Indeed. it may be said that the "glorious
news, as all Frenchmen must consider it, was only
made known TO the bulk of the population at half
past seven, by the salute of twentv-one guns fred
at the lnvades. Later in the evening. as the news
spread, the enthusiasm was general. The public
buildings were illuminated, as matter of course;
out, what Is far more important private houses in
the most retired streets we're decked in coIored
lamps, and the bOuevards were blaze of light
The streets were crowded, and all the world was
talking of nothing but the defeat of les Autrichieps
The Empress came from St. Cloud about halfpast
eight, and from nine to ten drove up and down the
boulevards in an open carriage. / will not speak
of what did not see, and therefore cannot saw
how her Majesty was received at other points, but
on the Boulevard PoSsoniere, her Maiestv's car
riage was surrounded and the enthusiasm exceeded
anything ever bsheld. The cries of "Vive PEm-
pereur, "Eive Plmpera trce," were incessant
and so close did the crowd press around the car
riage, shouting and waving hats and handkerchiefs
that for five minutes the carriage could not
move. | am bound to say that enthusiasm was not
at all diminished bv the fact that the Empress
showed herself deeply affected by it, she sobbed
audibly, and as she raised her head to bow to the
crowd, one could easily see the tears streaming
down ner cheeks. Princess Clothide, who accom-
panied her Imperial relative, remained perfectly
impassive. Today many houses were decorated
with flags, and at the Theatre Francais poem by
Merry is to be recited during the night The losses
of the French army set down at 3 600 killed and
wounded in the published dispatches | am told
however that it is four times greater. Two gener-
ais are kIlled-L'Espinasse, who commanded the
disastrous expedition to the Dobrudscha, and Gen.
eral LIE Clercq. General Mel and Marshal Canrob-
ert are said to be wounded. A ciphered despatch
has been received at the War Office, and it is said
that the amount of killed and wounded on the side
of the French is 5000. 1t is stated that the EN-
peror led the Imperial guard in person to the at
tack, and that His Majesty was at one time under
fire and in considerable danger. This grand news
has driven everything else into nothing. Intense
anxiety is felt in political circles to know the i'm

PALEsTRo AND THE ADVANCE OF THE ALLIES
Translated By the Tribune from the Journal des DeJats
VERCELLI, June 1.-The telegraph will have in
formed you of the glorious feat of arms accom-
plished by the Sd Zouaves beyond Palestro This
brave regiment made beginning by capturing the
cannon that were playing upon them Balls and
grape were thrown once twice; that was all; the
artillery men were dead.
Let me give you the recital of wounded Zouave
whom ! met Yesterday at Torrione two or three
hours after the fight.
"We were very quiet there before brook, when
we saw five or six horsemen a height not far off;
we said they were Austrian hussars accommodating
and made ready to have little conversation with
them. But suddenly package of grape came upon
us, accompanied by shower of balls. The rascals
had put guns on the hill, and hid their rifemen in
the wheat where could not see sign of them
While we were looking about grape mingled with
shot comes by the smoke. The officers turn to us
.ZouavesP they shout, 'to the gunsp We all leap
into the brook. The water was up to our necks
our cartridge-boxes take bath; we can't fire
single shot. 1t good 300 yards to the batteries
But didn't go over the ground like gymnasts :?
How they fell The grape moved the grass around
u.s. In a twinkling we were on the hill, hitting,
striking, stabbing. A shell falls and five of nv
comrades are blown into the air. Look nv casaue

the guns were ours r'.r.

know have fallen. L will not speak of others;
should fear to be inexact and to throw mourning
into many families. Alas there was one whom
Commandant Bocher presented to me only the
evening before. Never was face more CAV and

GERS. These shocks injure me. They say it is be-
cause am not used to it,. .f 1a'-- -..
% On the evening next moring after these muir
derous trays, at the table d'hote, or at the cafe
when the officers meet to get the news then we see
how, IN some of its strongest features grief is min
gled with earelessness The new corners are cues
toned; name is spoken; countenance contracts;
clenched fist comes down on the table; hand is
passed quickly over the eyes. One comrade bites
his moustache, another gets up and steps aside to
cough, turning his head; his neighbor lights ci-
gar, his hand trembling little. An ejaculation an
oath, souvenir is heard. 'Poor fellow!" seThe
devilW "Such good fellowP' They swallow a
cup of coffee and separate.
