The Battle of SOlferino.
The Paris correspondence of the London
Times says in regard to the battle of Softer
inc Gen. Mel with $4,000 men and two div
lslons OF cavalry, in all about $4,000, was en-
gagged till p. NJ, when he succeeded in forcing
the Austrian centre, after twelve hours fight
ing. The Austrians had brought up their
reserves of $4,000, and the Allies theirs of So
QUO. 1t was most critical movement. Three
hours more, and the general fighting ended to
the advantage of the Allies.

and the lst Chasseurs of Algeria terribly treat
ed. -Four Generals were wounded and one

Paris, June 29.-The Moniteur contains de-
tails Of the battle, but which are reports of the
different attacks of the corps d'armee. The
MOniteur does not state the number of killed
or wounded on either side.
Turin, June 2S.-rhe Piedmontese Gazette
publishes official details of the battle written
the same evening. According to positive in
formation, $4,000 Sardinians held ground
against $4,000 Austrians who occupied for
mldable position, from which they were dis
lodged by the Sardinians, under the orders of
the King. The loss of the Sardinians is said
to be about 1000 killed, and the same number
wounded.
1t was thought throughout Europe that the
Austrians had reached their chosen battle
ground, and the continental authorities, best
taught in the stlategies of the seat of war, had
confidently predicted that the line OF the Mincio
was the appointed ground Of the decisive bat
tie. The AuStrans, however, with that fatal
weakness OF purpose which seems to actuate
them i'll all their military movements, and
which causes them to vacillate between pre-
cipitancy and timidity, on Thursday night re-
traced their steps, re-croSsed the Alincio in
four enormous divisions, doubled back upon
their pursuers, and, as the Austrian account
says, came upon superior body of the enc
my" on the CHEESE.
This inequality in force, however was prob
ably only momentary, and this superior force
OF the enemy, which turned out to be the
main body Of the French army, was quickly
confronted by the whole force of the Austrian
IN Lombardy, with the Emperor Francis Jo-
seph at their head. The battle began at four
in the morning, but at ten O'Clock, allowing
thus six hours for concentrating, the collision
OF the two entire armies took place.
Ihe left wing seems to have commenced
the attack, and to have advanced nearly as
far as the CHEESE, thus the Austrian account
rather lnsinuates than asserts, forcing back
the French right. 1t is claimed also that the
Austrian right wing had an early success
against the Sardinians, who were upon the
ground nearest to Brescia and Peschiera but
unfortunately for the Austrians, it happened
That 10 fl,,.r Al.
Gus, their centre was broken.
The French Emperor directed his early eff
forts against this part of the enemys line, and
the AustrianS simply say-"Ihe order of our
centre could not be restored" From that mo-
ment the battle seems to have been lost.
