tage of position and, it is said, that on the
morning of the battle, the Emperor of Austria
announced that he would dine that evening in
Milan. We give here few extracts from
French letters from the battle field =
Correspondence of the Paris Patrie.
CAvRIANA, June 25-The Emperor was
right in the midst of us, going from one point
to another in nonchalant disregard of the balls
and bullets of the enemy, which whistled
about him. He encouraged us throughout the
day and we had need of encouragement, for
we were obliged to climb and descend at full
run, from four O'Clock in the morning until
nine O'Clock at night, and that amid tropical
heat, and without food or water during the
whole time. To-day, as at Magenta, the adj
vance has been suspended to enable us to bury
the dead. We have made a vast number of
prisoners, and taken numerous guns. More
over, we have all the strong positions, and are
on the banks of the Mincio. One or two more
such blows as this and l think they will have
enough.

CAvRIANA, June 18th. 1t is seal cely to be
doubted that the enemy intended to surprise
us. He was certainly justified in experiencing
| that sensation himself, upon seeing 120, 900
in order of battle in less than thirty minutes
| ~NSSC'NthS
Solferino took place under conditions the most
unfavorable for the Franco Sandman army,
with no positions ofsupportin its rear, whereas
the enemy had been for several weeks busily
| constructing defences. Abrupt hills, redoubts
skilfuly erected and defended by numerous
artillery, all concurred to render the position
OF the Austrian army very strong 1t may
without exaggeration be said, that between the
| CHEESE and the Mincio the resources of art re-
quired TO develope the advantages of the
ground had been ravished and even exhausted
by the Austrians, nsomuch that the positions
of Pozzolengo, Solferino, Cavriana and Cas-
tel-Gofreso were and may very properly be
considered as SO many links in an inedstruct
ible chain which it would be impossible for us
to break
From another French Letter Writer
CAvRIANA, June 26,-The Emperor having
arrived at Castiglione at eight O'Clock on the
morning of June "A, proceeded to an elevation
which oyerhangs the town, and furnishes
capital point of observation. His Majesty at
once perceived that the enemy intended to
have great affair. Large masses of the Aus
trlans filled all the heights and formidable DO
sitions, and the conflict was raging over a
stretch of five leagues, from Lago d Garda to
Guidizzola. The Emperor instantly mounted
his horse and galoped to Solferino, attended
by his staff
AT that point the battle was waged with the
utmost fierceness. Upon that point also the
great efforts of our army were expended in
1875, when the first victory was won by Au-
gereau Three times was this position taken
and lost; it was finally carried, under the eve
of the Emperor, by the division of General
Forey
Driven from Solferino, the Austrians con-
centrated their efforts upon our right, where
our cavalry had occasion to display itself with
irresistible gallantry; our infantry and artl-
lery were admirable, as usual. The Emperor
carried his courage to the verge of temerity
electrifying the soldiers by his GOODNESS, which
never failed him. Under shower of cannon
and musket balls he only changed position
with the movement of his horse. Every one
trembled to see the Emperor expose himself
thus; and the soldiers, filled with admiration
at his sang fioid, lamented it in ill-concealed
murmurs.
ABOUT GARIBALDI.-"Malakoff, writing
from Milan to the New York Times, says =
AT Turin, the capital of Sardinia, we had let
tiers to offic al persons, which gained for us
some facts of general character not without
a certain Importance. For example, we learn
ed there the true position of Garibaldi in the
Sandman army, and this position is the very
opposite Of everything that has been published

ly unconstitutional but which is accepted by
majority of the Cabinet and by the Parliament
as binding contract. 1t is only thus, and in
this light, that Garbaldi can be regarded as
belonging to the regular service in the Sardin-
ian army
Whan Garibaldi came to Turin and few
weeks later to Milan, Gen. de La Marmora re-
fused to see him, an act which was not ap-
proved by the King and Emperor, and which
created for him an amount of ill-will among
the people that will, perhaps, cost him his
place in the Cabinet of Turin

The news of the battle of Cavrana, was re-
celved this morning by telegraph, and was
posted up at the corners of the streets and on
the public buildings at ten o'clock. The great
est enthusiasm and excitement was created by
the publication of the dispatch. However
great is the curiosity of the people, there has
been no disposition to quarrel with the meager-
ness Of the telegram, for it is remarked that
the dispatch was sent off within an hour and
