LATER FROM EUROPE.


The Persia arrived on the 2lst. She bring
news Of another engagement, of which VI
can get no clear statement from the tele
graphic dispatches. The most intelligent
statement that we can compile will be fonnd
below:
The Paris Moniteur of the 10th inst. CON.
tains the following details Of the battle Of
Magenta. The concentration of our forces
on the Pc deceived the enemy into the be.
lief that We intended to cross the river. On
the morning Of the 4th $4,000 Austrians
we're in position opposite the Emperor and
the Grenadier Guards, who were obliged to
fight these disproportionate odds.
The correspondent Of the Daily News gives
the following details:
In less than two hours the allied mon
archs had deployed 5000 men against SO,-
600 together with a powerful artillery. They
compelled the Austrians to move on q most
Instantaneous ground, as their left soon
turned BY Gen. Canrobert's corps, supported
by Gen. Hsut's division, and the Austrians
to fall on their centre at Abiate Grasso. The
Austrian center being swelled by the routed
columns Of their left wing, were soon in dis.
order, and thousands fell crushed by the
French artillery.
Gen. Mcmahon had now reached the scene,
and seeing the movement and the disordered
centre of the Austrians, charged with an i'm
petuosity seldom witnessed, supported by
Durand's division which stood in reservation,
was moving slowly behind him. The shock
was terrible, and the dead and wounded were
falling in great numbers.
The Austrians were finally routed and the
victory won.
The same writer Gays that no Austrian
guns were taken. The Zouaves had 700 killed
and wounded. A brigade in Gen. Canrobert's
corps was almost entirely destroyed.
The Austrians have ratreated beyond the
river AIDA. Their headquarters were near
Cremona.
All accounts give the great glory of the
day to Gen. Mcmahon. He had no orders
to proceed to Magenta, but heard the roar
of battle-rushed on, and saved the army.
The details Of the battle of Magenta are
received at London and Paris very slowly,
but they do not change the FIRST complexion.
The losses were undoubtedly severe on both
sides. The Austrian official account only &C.
knowledges from to 1000 killed and wound
ed, and says that the enemy lost fully half
a. many more. 1t is reported, but not con-
frmed, that Gen. Gyulsi has been dismissed,
and Gen. Hess appointed Commander-in-
chief.
A Hungarian legion was organizing at Tu-
rim.
The London Posts Paris correspondent
says that over A. 900 of the prisoners are Ital-
ians who took the earliest opportunity to give
themselves up. They were always placed in
front and were threatened BY the Croats in
the rear if they did not fight well. Many Of
them had offered to join the Allies, but their
services had not yet been accepted.
The latest advices say tho Allies were ad-
vancing from Milan in pursuit of the retreat
ing Austrians, aud that Prussia had given in
dications Of aiding Austria.
1t is rumored that the Prussian army will
be modified, and Prussia will soon take
part in the conflict. 1t is said the Prussian
Government is negotiating for the passage Of
troops through Germany.
The Austrians we're at Lodi, and the Allies
advancing. Garibaldi had beaten the Aus
TRANS OF Brescia. 500 Zouaves were killed
and wounded at Marignan. 1900 Austrians
were killed and wounded and 1900 made
prisoners; the battle lasted hours. The
armies were preparing for another general
engagement.
The lound official call for lint shows what
havoc the war is making in the army. 1t was
on Sunday that the dispatch from the Empe-
ror reached the Empress, who caused it to
be printed in placards on the streets, and to
be telegraphed throughout France, 90 on
Sunday night the rejoicing Was general 10 the
empire. The Empress rode through the
principal streets where crowds thronged her
carriage, and even clung to the wheels, cry
ing, "Long live the Emperor, the Empress
and the young Prince, toe" who was not for
gotten.
Gen. Canrobert is not dead nor mortall,
wounded
TURIN, June 10th.-Gen. Garibaldi occu
pied Berganso on the 9Th, and having learned
that 1900 Austrians were coming from Bres.
cia, sent q detachment to meet them; and
and though the force sent was inconsidera.
BILE in number, they nevertheless beat thu
enemy.
The Times' correspondent ut Vienna says
the Official Austrian bulletin, announcing th.
battle OF Magenta, produced IN indescriba.
Bile effect at the Capital, and every one for 4
moment appeared to be stunned. Military
men are indignant that the finest army Aus,
tria ever possessed should have been entrust
cd to such buDgler a. Count Guyali ap
pears to be.
