The War.
The Paris letters show a great want of con-
fdence, and seem to hint at some increased dis
turbance in the foreign relations.
The London Times dsparages the battle of
Montebello, calling it a tenth-rat victory, and
accuses Napoleon with having sold himself to
the demon of military conquest.
The details received of the battle of Monte
bello state that the General of Brigade, Bau-
ret, and Commandant Duchet are among the
French officers killed.
The Vienna correspondent of the London
Times says that the Austrian strength at Mon
tebello consisted of three brigades and their
loss was about the same as that of the French.
The Times remarks that the Austrians must
have fought well, for they must have carried
the town of COsteggio, which had been barr-
caded by the French, before they could have
reached Montebello.
The Austrians seem in the first instance to
have been successful, and were only driven
back when the French support came up. Gen.
Forey, in his account of the battle, thinks that
the Austrian force was not below IL, 900 to
$4,000. The prisoners captured place it at far
above these figures.
Great praise is awarded to the Sardinians
