GENERAL GYULATS REPORT.
VIENNA, June S.-Gcn. Gyulai's report Of
the battle Of Magenta, dated Headquarters,
Belgiojoso, 9th June, has been published to-
day.
The Austrians have lost in killed and wound
cd from 1000 to 5000 men. The loss Of the
enemy is at least half as much again. Every
line Of the report proves the heroic power Of
the Austrians TO withstand the attacks Of the
enemy.
THE BATTLE OF BUFFALORA.
The following account is from the London
correspondent Of the Times, who was al eye
Witnessed the battle:
Deceived by the large concentration OF
French forces on the right bank Of the Pc, the
Austrians took the largest part Of their forces
in that direction. When they were known to
have taken the bait, the Allied armies all Of a
sudden moved from their extreme right at Cas-
tcggio and Voghera to their extreme left at
Tcrcelli, passed the Sesia there, and advanced
to Novara, and thence to the Ticino. The
movement was 50 rapid that before the Aus
TRANS were aware Of it the Allies had outtlank-
cd them. They had only just timeto draw out
Of the net which was spread for them by re-
firing precipitately from Mortara, and now they
try to bring up their troops in all haste from
the Pc to meet the Allies on the Ticino. 1t
seems they were too late for Turbigo, and had
to be satisfied TO throw out 4 body Of a few
thousand men from Milan against the advance
of the Allies. They were almost destroyed.
''The French GranadicrS and Zouaves of the
Guard, which were most advanced in that d.
%rection, attacked the position Of Buffslora,
which was strongly occupicdb by the Austrians,
some say with as much rs 4 10000 men. In
spite Of the numerical superiority, the four reg
iments, amounting to not more than 5000 or
1000 men stormed the position after hard fight
ing and severe loss, just as the Sardinians came
up. General Melinto, their commander, is said
to;havc done wonders, and General Clerc, for
merly Colonel Of the Zouaves i'll the Crimea.
was killed. The fighting continued till late at
night"
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
TuRBlGo, June 5, II A. M.-Thc affair at
Buffalora was the most brilliant which has
hitherto taken place. 1t might be called the
battle of Buifalora. The combination was to
attack the place, which is Of great strength,
not only in front. but likewise on the left flank,
from Turbigo. Some delay occurred in the
movement of this column, and the result was
that, when the Grenadicrs and Zouavcs Of the
Guard-in all four regiments-attackcd, they
found themselves attacking an army in n posi-
ton strong by nature and rendered more so
by fcld.works. Nothing daunted by this they
attacked. They were, however, so orermatchcd
in numbers that the enemy, whilcr cpelling the
attack, was able to assume the offensive on his
side. and even to take one of the rillcd guns
The Emperor himself was present at this
bafled assault. and it is evident that the situa.
ton was becoming immincntly critical when
the column which had passed the upper bridge
at Turbigo FASTENED round to his assistance and
retrieved the fortune of the day. We are told
that the Austrian was driven back, and that on
