PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE New York
Times publishes letter from the battle field
of Sofferino, which says the battle common
ced just before five in the morning.
The Anstrians were in position on the
hills near Castigleona.
Franc Joseph personally commanded
225 600 troops.
Napoleon commenced the attack by placing
cannon on the hills nearer Castegleona.
The French soon drove the enemy from the
| nearest ports TO town. and followed them into
the small villages on the plain below the first
of which was SofferinO.
The Aus,rians disputed every inch of
Snferino, three times before they would stay
| out.
The people of the village took part against
the French, firing from the windows, which
compelled the French to bum the town.
The Austrians fell back on ROlta, and
planted formidable batteries on the range OF
hills a mile from the Mincio.
The cannonading here lasted an hour VIII IN
a part of the Austrian force probably crossed
| the MlnclO.
The battle continued to rage of the region
| Northwest of the line running through Cas-
| tigluna Sofferno and Rolta.
The Austrians continually retreating after
| a sharp cannOnading.
A tremendous thunder storm sus pended the
battle.
| An hour afterwards a cannonading COM
mcnced ON the extreme left of the entire field
| on the borders of the lake Northeast from
| Castigliona and West of Ptscbiera.
An Incessant and terrible battle was kept
up there by the Piedmonters under their
| King who received the Austrians as they
| came round till after night fall.
| The batteries of the two armies which
were apparently half mile apart at first
served with equal vigor, but afterwards the
/ Au-trians Stacked their fire and assumed new
positions while the Sardnians poured rapid
and uninterrupted shower of balls upon them
After dark the cannons aud guns still con-
tinued TO discharge.
The Austrians sustained an overwhelming
| defeat.
This letter writer thinks that the Emperor
of Austria may now by the advice of Neutral
Powers accept the peace which Napoleon
may tender. He dares not conjecture the
| number killed and wounded but says 10000
wounded, have already been brought into the
| Village from whence be writes besides there
are others lett on the battle field and other
| places.
