It'll reported that at the battle of Solferinc near
y every officer and man of the Artillery Imperisl
Guard was put hors de combat.
Austrian accounts admit the loss of tw entv thous-
and men in killed. wounded and missing.
The Austrian official report says:
The right wing of the army occupied Bussolen-
go, SolterinO and Cavriana. The left wing on the
oath marched to Gudizzolo and Castel Geoffredo
and repulsed the advancing enemy on all sides.
As the Imperial army continued its advance to-
wards Chlese, the enemy who had assumed the of
fensive with his whole force, pushed forward such
large bodies of troops that there was general en-
gagement between the two armies at 10 o'clock or
whereabouts on the morning of the oath. The right
wing, which was formed of the second army of
Count Schlick maintained the position which it had
originally occupied in the first line of battle until
\ O'Clock in the afternoon, and the first army, (the
II lett wing under Count Wimpffen continually gain
H ed ground in the direction of Chiese
II Towards three O'Clock the enemy made vehe-
II ment attack on Soferino, and after several hours
l. hard lighting obtained possession of the place which
Il had been heroicaly defended by the fifth corps
Il d'armee An attack was then made Cavriana,
h which place was courageously defended until even
ing by the first and seventh corps durmee, but was
eventually left in the hands of the enemy While
the struggle for Solferino and Cavriana was going
on the eighth corps d'dTmee, which was on the
outer flank of the right wing advanced and re-
pulsed the Sandman troops opposed it, but this
advantage did not enable the Imperial army to re-
cover the positions that had been lost in the
| centre.
! The third and ninth corps, which were supported
by the eleventh corps, were engaged on the left
wing, and the reserve of cavalry attached to this
wing made several most brilliant attacks. The
usually heavy losses and the fact that the left wing of
the flrst army was unable to make progress on the
right Hank OF the enemy, who directed his main
force in the centre 2ainst both, led to retreatby
the Imperial Royal Army 1t began late in the
evening, during very violent storm.
The correspondent of the London Herald says:
$50 little did the French expect battle that on
the previous night message from the King of Sar-
dInla, asking Tor supports in he should be at
tackled, was met with refusal on the ground that
an attack by the Austrians not probable. AT
! daybreak, however, the corps of Gen. d'Hiers
came in sight of Soferino and was Immediately set
upon By large Austrian force, which rushed down
the hill and fought with the greatest fury. The
Marshal resisted to the best of his power and sent
of an e-de-camp for supports, but it not be-
fore three hours of rightful carnage that the corps
of Gen. Mel made its appearance. The Austrians
were then slowly driven back, and every now and
then there was pause, and the French continued
to gain ground heaps of their own and enemy's
corpses marking the fluctuations of the fight.
The Austrians thus slowly driven out of
Solterino, but all of sudden they made tremen-
dous burst forward and the French were driven
down the hill. Admirably supported by their
ullery, however, they made a stand and commenced
once more to advance. 1t was like hail storm,
the shower of bullets and balls, and whole piles
were moved down by single discharge.
Meanwhile at the right and left wing the Ausrians
were getting decidedly the best of it, The Pied
montese troops slowly driven back General
Canroberts corps was also heavily punished, and
had there been skillful General in the Austrian
army to collect and concentrate their forces against
the weak point of the enemy's line matters
would have had very different aspect.
Ihe French commander to whom the credit of
the day is entirely due, whether it be Gen. Mel,
Mcmahon or the Emperor himself, sent forward the
Imperial Guard and strong division of infantry
against the Austrian centre and succeeded for time
in breaking it. Instead of bringing up their forces
to repel this formidable attack, the supports
sent to the left and right wings which did not need
them.
Desperate attempts made to recapture
Solterino but the French strongly held it, and the
Austrian bugles began to sound general retreat.
An attempt was made by the French cavalry to
pursue them, which led to an encounter between
the French Chasseurs and the ustrian Hulaus, in
which the former rapidly put to right about.
1t is stated that not single Hungarian regiment
was allowed tn take part in the battle, and that the
Italian regiments had all been previously sent to
the Tyrol. .sr.. -..... rr...
