The first battle is at last fought between The
French aud the Austriaas in Italy. By the
steamship City Of Washington we have tele-
graphic news from Cape Race that on the 2lsi
of May the FIRST struggle took place, aud was
won by Napoleon III, at Montebello, where the
French under Napoleon |, defeated the Austri-
tifty-niue years ago, just after he bad cross
ed the Alps; and what is worthy Of remark,
neither OF the Napoleons was at the battle, but
in its vicinity.
That battle Was won by the French on the
2lst ult.. there can be no doubt, for on this
poHt the French, Sardinian and Austrian ao-
counts agree. We have not vet received the
details OF the battle, but the French represent
the Ausrians as fifteen thousand strong where |
the fight took place, aud the troops of Napo-
leon as only SIX or seven thousand uen, with |
regiment of Sardinisn cavalry, at The same tine !

600 men, besides 200 prisoners, whilst the
French lost 600 or 700, many Of whom were
officers. The prisoners wera sent 20 Aiessan-
