The plan at Sevastopo Of CONSTRUCTING rifle pits has
been adopted by the Austrians for their formidable

VISIT OF NAPOLEON TO THE WOUNDED.
A letter from headquarters, Aessandns, dated lO
o'clock Saturday, states that on the morning OF that
day the Emperor took the railway to Noghera, and
from thence went horseback 10 visit the field OF bat
tie Of Montebelo. Numbers of dead bodies were still
lying about and his Majesty saw the scene of the co
bat amot in the state in which II had been lett by the
contendipg forces. Marshal paraguay Hliiers ac-
companied the Emperor. General Forey was not able
to go with him, having confusion on the et leg from
ball. which had fatiened itself on his scabbard. The
General only able To present himself 10 his Majes
ty who embraced him, and congratulated hm III the
t,a,v, hrillt
brels was also embraced by the Emperor, aud the
runor goes that he is TO be at once promoted Several
Austrian officers who had been taken prisoners were
presented to the Emperor, who conyersed with them.
Most Of them very young men. One had been
lately preserted at the Tnileries by NJ. de Hnbner.
The wounded French soldiers cheered the Emperor
when they saw him.

respondent that the Austrian force not less than
l7CC0 or S GOO. Another correction o be made in the
original account is that the French troops engaged did
not amount to more than 5000. When the village Of
Montebeo taken, it was defended by 1900 Ans

the killed and wounded officers, for fear of COM
hitting mistakes which might plunge families IN
mourning The exact number of our wounded, as
have heard from of the surgeons is 800. Most Of
the wounds not sufficiently serons to necesstate
operations. The Sardinian cavalry sustained heavy
l0sses, beside that of COL MOreh Of the light horse.
The French cavalry represented by the lst Affi-
can Chasseurs, which lost only few men. Among
the officers who distinguished themselves the young
Capt. Bonaparte is mentioned. This is the grandson
of Prince Jerome by his marriage with the American
lady Miss Patterson. The Austrians made prisoners
were unwilling to surrender. This confirms state-
ment in the indepeAdancs that most of the 200 Aus
TITAN prisoners were wounded men. The Emperor
ceived perfect ovation al Alessandra on his return
from visiting the field of battle. The Ausuisns did
not take single prisoner from Us"
